I loved my stay here! Pool and views were amazing. Large, clean and cold rooms. Food sizes were small but ordering more was a quick fix. Staff was so amazing! Gerardo the swim up pool bartender helped create such a fun environment! Night waiter Hugo also created such a fun dining experience. ...

I really liked this place. The general manager, Mateo, took very good care of us. It wasn’t very crowded in the 6 days we were there so the service was excellent all around. The biggest plus for me was the restaurant! Ordered something different every meal and was never disappointed. Main pool is ni...

I stayed here for five nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel has an intimate setting with very attentive staff. Our one issue was the AC not cooling upon arrival, and this waa resolved within 15 minutes upon reporting it to the front desk. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel ...

This is not a real wyndham hotel - just using the name as a franchise and has nothing with wyndham. I made the mistake of making a booking here assuming its wyndham, and the moment i got in everything just felt off- asked 3 times total to the receptionist if my room has ocean view - which was booke...

This hotel was branded as a Wyndham when we booked it. It is actually owned by a franchisee. We knew going in that the ocean access was not desirable but saw all the good reviews about the food and staff. The staff are all excellent and do their best to try and make your stay enjoyable. The food is ...

Pros

  • Private beach setting with dock and strong sunset appeal.
  • Two pools, including a rooftop infinity pool, plus hot tubs.
  • Small scale and clean, spacious rooms are recurring positives.
  • Helpful staff and service are among the strongest recurring guest themes.

Cons

  • Limited dining variety compared with larger all-inclusive resorts.
  • Not walkable to Playa Norte or the main downtown area for most travelers.
  • Entertainment and organized activities appear limited.
  • Beach access is attractive, but swimmability directly in front of the hotel is mixed.

Things to know

  • This is a small boutique-style all-inclusive rather than a large Cancun-style resort with extensive entertainment.
  • The property sits on Sac Bajo, away from Playa Norte and the main town center; taxis or a golf cart will be useful for exploring.
  • The beach setting and sunsets are recurring positives, but swimming directly in front of the hotel receives mixed feedback.
  • Food is often described positively, but multiple guest sources mention limited variety over longer stays.

Hidden tips

  • Use this resort as a quieter base for Isla Mujeres rather than as a full-activity mega-resort.
  • Confirm the all-inclusive inclusions before arrival because some sources and guests mention restrictions around beverages, minibar refills, or premium items.

Most common complaints
  • Limited food variety

  • Limited activities or entertainment
  • Mixed beach swimmability
  • Property-name transition from Hotel Beló to Wyndham Esplendor
Things people wish they knew
  • The property has operated under or alongside the Hotel Beló name, and some guests report signage or naming confusion during the transition.
  • A week-long stay may feel repetitive for travelers who expect multiple restaurants, nightly entertainment, and a large resort program.
  • Transportation is important because the resort is on Sac Bajo rather than the North Beach/downtown hotel cluster.
From Reddit

Reddit discussion is limited but consistent with a small, quiet boutique all-inclusive: friendly staff and useful all-inclusive value are positives, while limited dining, limited activities, distance from Playa Norte, and some room/property issues appear as concerns.

Rooms

Best Views:Ocean-view suites and rooftop-facing/view rooms appear to offer the strongest views, based on official room imagery and recurring guest praise for sunsets and Caribbean views.Low
