Everything about the place was so clean and a great place to relax. However, there was a prevalent lack of staff workers, with a small amount of tables and chairs. Yet, the food was amazing and so flavorful. The waiters in every restaurant and by the pool were so kind and helpful!

We felt good value for our money here. We spent most of our time at the infinite pool or beach. My son enjoyed the kids club a couple times as well. We ate at omaggie most of our stay for breakfast. It was buffet. Never tried lemongrass because the hours were in the middle of when we wakted to eat. For lunch we were mostly at the infinity pool, so we would order with our server Paco( Francisco) or get tacos from the taco station. The pool menu had a good selection and great food. We tried several different things from there. Dinner we ate twice at the sister resort and two or three times at insu, amd once at mazzomare. All of the food we had was excellent, except the mexican restaurant at Emotions. It lacked a good selection and wasnt that great in taste. We attempted a show at emotions one night for fiesta night, but we left after 20 minutes. Emotions pool is open way later than distincts. Kids area not that gre Our room was the most basic room of king with a balcony, but it was awesome. It had 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer, kitchen, dining room table, living room, and seperate bedroom. Staff was all super friendly. They all worked hard to keep the grounds clean and well maintained. We did get approached by our conceirge lady about the membership several times, which annoyed my husband, but after reading reviews it wasnt really a surprise. I warned him. It was a prefect place to have a nice relaxing vacation, even with a five yesr old. We would stay here again.

Marival Distinct was wonderful. My family of four (2 kids, 2 parents) usually go on summer vacation and we have been to a lot of resorts in Mexico. Marival Distinct didnt disappoint! The room was beautiful. Laid out like a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo so it was perfect for our family. The food was good especially at Lemongrass and Mozzamare. Omaggio missed the mark on a few plates. The view at Insu is amazing. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our vacation and have zero complaints. Well, except the persistent timeshare invitation. If you are not interested in a timeshare, make sure you say no to the breakfast, jetski and anything else they offer you during check in. Happy travels!!!

We loved this property. The only thing i would recommend for anybody is make sure you arrive close to 3 or after. Check in is 3:00 and they are not very lenient on that. So its a long time to wait if you arrive in the morning. Or make sure you have a swimsuit easy to access. The food is excellent. Service was a little slow at some restaurants but its not a big deal. Just don't be trying to rush to be somewhere. Rooms were clean and large. The beach was beautiful. Will definitely come back.
