2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I had a very poor experience at Secrets Tulum Resort. The listing did not make it clear that by selecting a room with an ocean view that I would not be staying at the main resort, but rather a different location their Beach Club. When I arrived, I was given a sales pitch about something, I didn't fully understand what about. I was shown a map of locations in Central America and the Caribbean, I guess other locations owned by the same ownership group. I wasn't sure what exactly, I turned down whatever it was. Then I was told to get into a shuttle that was taking me to the Beach Club, which I didn't fully understand at this point so I was a bit on edge. I arrive at the location and get checked into my room. I did not check in super later and wasn't given a lay of the land by the staff. I bring this up because as I saw later in the week, as other guests were checked in they were given tours of the facility and explained how things worked. I had to learn a lot of stuff about the hotel on my own. They had an app they wanted you to download which was unstable. It would crash constantly and I needed to load it about 10 times on average. The intrusive add on pop ups always seemed to work. Around the middle of my trip, my door had an issue where it would not open. Luckily there was a side door that worked but it wouldn't lock leaving my room wide open. The staff gave me no updates on the progress of this and other issues that came up. Management at the Beach Club was terrible.
