Cenote Manatí

I stayed 4 days at this hotel and messaged them prior to my arrival asking that they provide me the best room available. A 4 night stay was C$1617– $400+ per night. I was brought behind the bar to a room, 3A, which, while it had an ocean view there was a concrete barrier and no beach access. Being beside the bar was also very unpleasant as the music was blaring and made it impossible to sleep. The room also did not have a television. one of the sinks would not drain, and the bathroom window did not close—which was unsettling as I could see right into the bar from the bathroom. The Safe was also inoperable. I informed the front desk that I was not happy with my room and of all the deficiencies. They accommodated my request to move, but insisted that I sign a document suggesting that they were doing so to “better my stay” not because the room was deficient. I was also asked to leave my room and not move into my new room until after check-in at 3 pm, such that I was denied access to a room during the day. I moved to room 41 which was significantly better and more in line with the photos advertised on their website. The difference between the two rooms is astounding. They also charged $10 USD extra per day when I arrived and for coffee pods when I checked out— there wasno warning that coffee was not included in the room Despite the fact that as a VIP/Platinum member, and entitled to a room upgrade, I believe I was given one of their worst beachfront rooms.

Beautiful room, great spot on the beach--- staff are kind and attentive.

Everything was perfect
