"The SLS Playa Mujeres is a stunning, new resort with beautiful rooms and consistently friendly staff. A major highlight is the ability to order food and snacks directly to the pool, eliminating the need to wait in lines. Free room service is incredibly convenient, especially for "nap-trapped" parents or late-night cravings. The concierge service was excellent, always promptly delivering requests (tip: ask for robes and slippers!). The food quality is consistently good, easily an 8/10, and the beach boasts clean, soft sand. The resort's smaller size is a big plus; it's easily navigable with pools, the beach, and restaurants all conveniently located close to one another. The kids pool are is great for babies and small children alike.
Small con: no swim up bar in main pool
However, the resort's handling of dinner reservations was a significant drawback. A la carte restaurants require reservations (there's no dinner buffet), and the system is severely disorganized. Immediate booking upon arrival is essential due to limited availability, especially for larger groups. Despite being promised seating together, our group was frequently separated, sometimes even placed on opposite sides of the same restaurant. This was particularly frustrating at the Mexican restaurant, where visible empty tables suggested more flexible seating was possible. Even after complaining and clarifying, our group, celebrating two birthdays during our seven-day stay, was only able to sit together once."
