wonderful place, great service amenities and restaurants,,, food was great
Beautiful hotel with great facilities, super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast a real highlight, one of the best buffet breakfasts we have experienced. Delightful not to experience any of the usual sunbed challenges around the pool. Super windy weather made shade quite difficult though as staff stopped us putting up umbrellas and the access to the beach/sea was quite difficult. Games room was a great asset but could do with some love & attention as wasn’t a place you wanted to dwell in. Would highly recommend Abaton.
Beautiful hotel! We loved our stay at Abaton Island Resort. The half board food package was amazing too! Would highly recommend!

Nice lobby and nice staff. Good breakfast. That’s where the good ends. The hotel itself is quite old and in need of good renovation. There are some signs of limited updates, but overall the facility is showing its age. Overall, it feels like an old all inclusive hotel in Cancun that have seen its better days. The worst part is how the shower and sink and toilet are played out. Insanity. We wouldn’t pick it again if we were in Crete.
An exceptional hotel. We stayed for 10 days and it was absolutely wonderful. Relaxing, fantastic facilities, rooms, food, service, everything was excellet One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Highly recommend.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was beautiful and well looked after. Breakfast and dinner buffets were very good. Dinner at the hotel steakhouse restaurant was disappointing….pricey as expected, but the food was very mediocre

The staff are attentive and helpful. The rooms are clean as is the entire facility.
A family-friendly oasis on the coast. Lovely and friendly staff that have made our trips here all the more special. Never too busy. Pool is wonderful, both outdoors and the indoor spa pool.
My stay at this resort was memorable. From the moment we arrived the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their attentiveness and hospitality made our trip easy and seamless.
The property was always kept clean. The architecture of this resort felt elegant, you can tell it was carefully designed. The breakfast buffet had a variety of options, and the convenience of being able to book cabs and excursions directly through the hotel made things stress free.
The resort had a peaceful ambiance. Even in busier areas it felt calm, I felt relaxed during my whole stay.
On our final day, my partner and I enjoyed a couples spa massage treatment it was worth every penny. The right way to end our trip.
I genuinely loved everything about this resort and will definitely return. Highly recommend.
