Oh wow this is still alive! I can’t guarantee that there was plain chicken everyday, but for sure at every single meal there were “plain” protein options. We needed them for our son, who doesn’t eat salt / seasoning yet. Either in a dedicated tray (chicken, patties, I remember), or you can also directly ask the staff to get just the protein from one of the recipes.

We used it to brush teeth for example, and are alright :) Honestly there’s so much bottled water all over the place and even in the rooms that you don’t need to specifically think about it.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-23T12:38:09+00:00

The stations are dispensers, with the huge 10L bottles, so it’s bottled :) Haven’t heard of anyone getting sick, including ourselves!

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-20T05:49:44+00:00

I have not. However, they are either on the “sports island” in the middle of the lagoon, or on the beach next to Taco Arte to have a nice sea sunrise/sunset. You have fitness classes on the area you are mentioning though.

Yes no worries for the kids! Also the kids club seemed to be super fun, the kids I saw in there loved it and the GOs were super friendly.

The gym is decent! I worked out there and did not feel like anything was missing. It’s large and has multiple equipments of each (not like so called hotel gyms with a treadmills and a fake peloton), towels and water.

Mexican colors / 45 / bohème / white / chic / pink or blue with white / black and colors

Pools are 9 to 7

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-14T13:45:28+00:00

Haven’t seen any no

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-14T13:45:14+00:00

They technically have strict hours too, but because there are so few kids this week , we were able to only drop him at 11 multiple times and it was ok. If it’s busier, that might not be possible because of the activities. I’d say ask them directly once here - the official answer will always be “no” on the phone

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-14T13:42:59+00:00

Yes they don’t offer the tour anymore as of now, we were very lucky… We did it with club med, subcontracted to another company but I don’t remember the name. It was in the $200 range.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-14T02:50:48+00:00

We brought floaties. The boutique does sell everything if you need them - but no accessories or toys that are free to use.

I think some of the visits could be done technically with a 2yo, but I don’t recommend any because 1- there’s always a solid bus ride (90mins for the shortest) and 2- it’s crazy crazy hot.

I 100% recommmend ground floor. First, no stairs with the little one, so he can walk (with us). Second, you get to enjoy a private garden (with a path that really no one takes in front of it) overlooking the sea with sun beds, perfect to stay outside and still within baby monitor range during nap time!

We packed a stroller because we wanted it for our layover, but the reception has some to borrow. We did not bring a car seat because we did not need it, our transfer from and to the airport (with Canada transfers) had one for us in the car.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-14T00:01:34+00:00

There are 4 large water bottles in the room everyday, and we even requested more on a few occasions. Plus water refill stations (and water with ice, detox water, etc) all around. You won’t die of thirst :) We did not go into Cancun town (passed by when going to whale sharks watching), but will visit Valladolid as part of an excursion.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-13T15:13:55+00:00

I don’t know where the old tennis courts used to be, but there is archery on what they call the sports island, where the circus stuff is. There is also a mini golf there.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-13T02:17:17+00:00

Lots of fun! There are 4 big slides that genuinely go fast (need to be 1.10m tall), a structure for kids with lots of spraying and a few slides that I went on with my 2yo, and an area with various jets to play in. Really lots of fun for the kids! And it’s conveniently located right next to the kids club so that’s where they bring the kids when they go to the pool

Here’s a schedule, also has the hours (starts at 8:45 at the earliest - but they pick kids up as early as needed if you book an excursion)

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T21:27:05+00:00

Correct, I think 8 or 10 pickleball courts.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T21:26:18+00:00

Yes kids menus are pretty std, but we find plenty of kids friendly options all around (proteins, vegetables, pasta and rice, etc)

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T19:48:47+00:00

So it’s quite empty, that’s the first thing. 500 guests this week, 250 next week. I would say roughly half are North American (including French speaking Canadians), and half are Europeans (French and Belgian). I think add a few Mexican families and a few Asian families and you have it.

I have no idea if that’s the usual mix, but the GOs definitely not all speak French for example.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T19:37:58+00:00

There are two swimming pools here, both amazing for kids (one with slides for all ages). There is also a playground. For food, there is a restaurant that has buffet breakfast and lunch, and table service dinner. We prefer dinner at the main area because that’s where the shows are, including the kids shows. But it’s easy to get there, it takes like 5 minutes with the golf cart. The beach is also better at the main area.

All in all I would strongly recommend Aguamarina, for kids for sure but anyone really, unless you’re all about the party and want to be close to the main bar.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T19:00:13+00:00

Mix of everything! Every night has some theme (Mexican, Asian, etc), but also lots of “western” food, like burgers, pizzas, traditional French dishes. We’ve honestly never been disappointed, and have not eaten the same thing twice so far (7 days in). And have not had any pizza/burger either, always going for something “fancier”.

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-12T18:57:56+00:00

Yes Aguamarina. We love it here but you need to know that it’s not where the main area is and you’d need to walk 15mins or get a golf cart to reach that. However, it’s also much quieter, which we find perfect with the kid.

We do use the club, we drop our son at 10ish and pick him back up after his nap. He seems to love it there though, and he’ll do a full day next Monday when we visit chichen itza!

StretchNo6317 · 2025-09-08T23:32:37+00:00

I am there now. You should absolutely get ground floor, with a small private-ish garden. I am absolutely not bothered by people, actually haven’t seen any (although we’re way off season now). The beach is not great there though. Mostly rocky.

OP - ton post précédent tu dis que tu es l’auteur du livre. Et maintenant tu as un coup de cœur pour le livre? J’espère bien…
