You'll love it!

Have an awesome time! LOVED our golden hour cocktails each evening.

The upper lobby was awesome! Sunset cocktails made for wonderful pics :)

Hi and Thanks! Full disclosure we did the Inspria upgrade. I would say that Atelier is Superior. They have better food and more options, If you can get in Maria Delores it is Michilin caliber, better Mixology (It is truly next level at the Calle bar) And the upstairs pool area is exceptional. However all of that comes with a heavy price Tag, And I continue to go back to Majestic because it offers Pretty decent drinks and decent food with amazing rooms, amazing swimup layout at a really good price. I also think Majestic has a superior beach layout, Much better nightly entertainment, better breakfast buffets, and fun theme nights in the square. I will go back to Atelier, but it is more of a treat, whereas at Majestic I can afford to stay longer and still enjoy myself, so It has started to become my "regular" spot

Also I have done an Atelier vid if you have not seen it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdqXgNWZsaimgZ8.htmlsi=3bjQ2txB2U6ZodXS

Hi and thanks! According to website the Italian and the steakhouse require long pants and closed toe or “elegant” sandals. It says that the Bistro also requires these (or Bermuda shorts) However, I am nearly positive. I did see people in nice crisp shorts at the restaurants. I’m not sure how much it is enforced .. I’m assuming perhaps they size you up when you arrive and have the policy in place in case you show up looking fairly haggard, so they can point to it. For myself, I always did dress up in long linen pants, nice collared shirts, and closed toed shoes, or huaraches. We like to dress up, and has added benefit of making your wife very happy when you look dapper ;)

Food is so subjective so I hate to really throw any shade.. What I think was no good another person may love... That said if I recall correctly there was not a huge selection/Varity of rolls, the salmon was a bit fishy, and the sushi rice was under seasoned(no vinegar or sugar detected) however the miso and spring rolls were GREAT. it could have just been an off day for rolls. We did not eat at the Seafood restaurant very much, But i do recall the Shrimp/lobster dish there was wonderful. Just be ready that the lobster is the Caribbean spiny, and not a cold water "Maine" type lobster.

@@Dave_ess Your detailed replies are so appreciated Dave. Muchos gracias. If the salmon was fishy: yikes. That's a no go for us. Freshness is THE most important thing!

We did not in either of my two trips here. We have stayed at the Majestics in Dominican 5 times and never had an outage there either. While it could happen to anyone and we have been lucky, I am assuming they have huge back up generators.

Hi Jackie, They do have the trifecta of beach seating :) Bali beds, Palapas, and Loungers. They have a Volleyball court at the South end of the beach, this is near the Larger and "non-Club" beach bar. There is a smaller "Club" beach bar at the northern end of the beach. The northern end of the beach is also the "club" area.

@@Dave_ess Thank you !

Thank you for the kind words! That room was 2021, and the location was GREAT! Just steps away from the wonderful club lounge

So everything shown from my patio is the "Club" area that means 18+, at 1:03 when I show the lounge I am pretty sure that is also 18+, and the Sunrise area upstairs is also 18+. However, all the food I show (except the club snacks) is available to all. I *think* kids can go in the main center pool, just not the club pool that is closer to the beach. all the entertainment, theme nights ect are open to kids. We don't have kids, so I am not a great source for info, but from what I can see the children at this resort are really well behaved, but I am not sure if there is a TON for them to do, the kids club looked a bit sparse, and the "family pool" had a few water toys/features but that was it. I guess it depends on your kids/ what other kids are there so they can entertain themselves. in regards to the "family side" there is not really sides so much as buildings, the northern most buildings are adults only, while the southernmost buildings are family. the center is sort of mixed.

Not the Dinner Buffet. We Did the Breakfast buffet 6 times or so, It was excellent, prob the best of any AI we have done. We did the lunch buffet at the beachside restaurant once, it was pretty good as well, but frankly we hate packing up and leaving the pool... Since we had the swim up we would usually just get room service or snacks from the club lounge for lunch.

It is your own private pool, (and I LOVE it, spent almost all my time in it compared to the main pool) but there are some variations; 1)The "ELEGANCE CLUB MAJESTIC JUNIOR SUITE (SWIM UP +18)"can be EITHER the basic suite, with direct stairs into a main pool and a private small tanning shelf(little 2 inch deep area of water with lounge chairs for laying) but no plunge pool OR it can be on the outfacing ends of the building (jungle view) with a larger private plunge pool and no tanning shelf. 2) the ELEGANCE CLUB SWIM UP SUITE (OUTDOOR JACUZZI 18+) can be either the basic suite, with direct stairs into a main pool and a combo small tanning shelf and small plunge pool. (this is our fave layout) OR it can be on the outfacing ends of the building (jungle view) with a larger plunge pool and no tanning shelf. if you luck out and get the main pool there is both a raised up (about 8 feet above main pool water level) plunge pool/tanning shelf configuration, or one that is flush with the main pool, separated by a partially submerged wall. there is no way to guarantee getting the main pool attached vs the jungle view, though you can request. 3) is the ELEGANCE CLUB PLUNGE POOL SUITE 18+. These have a private rooftop patio that have a large infinity type plungepool, but no tanning shelf.

@@Dave_ess Thank you for the info and speedy reply. Looking forward to staying there.

if we wanted the plunge pool with a separate living space with a pull out bed what would we book

Yes to Volleyball, there is not Bball or tennis that I can recall.

@@Dave_ess volleyball at the beach?

Hi, the food here is good, to very good(for AIs), especially considering the price you pay. I have had superior food at two other AIs - Atelier and Zoetry Isla Mujeres. Also The food at The Excellence Cancun was prob just as good, but I have not been there in 3 years and recently heard some reports of the food quality at Excellence falling a bit. I still maintain my position that bang for your buck this resort is the best in area. I am looking to try Unico soon as I heard they have a good food program, but have not yet.

Hi, when we went the Fiesta was on Saturday Nights, unsure if they rotate days or not. It was so fun!

really sorry to hear that. we are childless so it is tough for me to weigh in, but I think maybe an xcaret property has alot of action for the little ones.

I agree with you on two points. It definitely does not feel like a family resort and the buffet being closed 5 nights a week is disappointing simply because At other resorts when ive had a bad a la carte meal i just jump over to the buffet. No such luxury here. Otherwise its an awesome resort. For couples lol.

Perfect..good to know. That way we won't have to watch for kids under our feet and running around

@@jzguru I'm reading on their app that the buffet is open for dinner Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Is that not accurate?

Thanks Mark. The Breakfast Buffet is a Standout, and it shines above similar resorts we have been to in the area. It is quite large, has all your standard hot foods, a fresh fruit area, cereal and bread area, Fresh Juicery, dual made to order omelet/custom egg stations, Mimosa/bloody station, and full table service for beverages and clearing of dishes. Don't miss the Mexican breakfast offerings like pazole, Chilaquiles, and Motuleños. Also there is ala-carte breakfast available at the Italian restaurant (We never tried it) and room service breakfast was typically delivered within an hour or ordering and was always passable.

Thanks so much!! Headed there end of July! @@Dave_ess
