Banco Chinchorro Biosphere Reserve

For the price and location it was a good stay. The property mostly the room was very run down and worn. They definitely need a remodel. Cabinets were falling apart and they filled in the sink hole with a none matching piece of granite in the kitchen area. The water pressure sucked as well. Toilet easily gets stopped up. But the location is amazing and by far the best part along with the affordability. The staff was helpful but you could tell they were understaffed and worked to death. I felt bad for them actually. Not a bad stay just an okay one.

This was my third time staying at this hotel, and I noticed quite a few changes compared to my previous visits. First, I stayed on the Pyramid side, and the room was very poorly maintained. The paint was peeling off the walls, there were holes in several places, and I even found hair on the bed covers. I was very disappointed, especially since I had always had a better experience during my previous stays. The food was okay overall, but unfortunately, I got food poisoning during my trip. I'm not sure what caused it, but it definitely affected my experience. The staff at the pool bars seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in serving guests. The lobby also had an unpleasant smell, which was surprising and unappealing. Another big disappointment was that the casino had been removed. That was one of the main reasons we chose to return to this hotel. In addition, the restaurants that required reservations were always fully booked. Considering the hotel didn't seem very busy, I suspect they were understaffed. Several employees even mentioned that the hotel was not doing very well and that they were short-staffed, which may explain why so many of the staff seemed stressed and overwhelmed. Overall, this stay was very disappointing compared to my previous visits. I hope the hotel can improve its maintenance, staffing, and overall guest experience because it used to be a place I really enjoyed visiting.
