Hotel Mousai

I came to Hotel Massai for a 4-night relaxing getaway before starting nursing school. I left more exhausted than when I arrived and honestly, still unsettled thinking about it. On my second night, I saw a giant cockroach crawl out of my shower onto the bathroom floor while I was getting ready for bed. I immediately called the front desk, but staff didn't seem to treat it as a serious issue. The manager apologized and said, "Due to the rainy season sometimes insects come out, not trying to make excuses.” I asked about switching rooms, but the only availability was in the South Tower (opposite side of the property from my ocean-view North Tower room), and since it was already 10:30 PM, I decided to stay put and simply asked for someone to clean the bathroom instead. The situation got worse from there. The staff member sent to clean arrived with only a bucket and a towel, and didn't seem to understand what he'd been sent to do. He called the front desk from my room phone and spoke in Spanish. I used my Google Translate to understand their conversation and I realized he was complaining about being annoyed and confused about the task, while I stood right there. I asked him to bring his manager, who apologized on his behalf and had the bathroom cleaned. I let it go and didn't want to make a bigger issue of it, but I was unsettled. The manager assured me the room would be fully cleaned and fumigated by 10 AM the next day (which did not happen). I couldn't sleep afterward, by midnight, feeling like my skin was crawling and worried there might be more insects, I called the front desk again and asked to switch rooms. The manager personally walked me to a new room in the South Tower and assured me it had been properly cleaned and was ready. When I got there, I found diarrhea stains in the toilet left by a previous guest. At that point I was appalled. This was supposed to be a fresh, prepared room. I called the front desk again, and the manager returned with the same cleaning staff to fix it. Afterward, the manager apologized and asked if there was anything else he could do. I pointed to the complimentary guacamole and chips still sitting on the table, since I’d checked into this room at midnight, this snack had clearly been sitting out since standard check-in time that afternoon. The guacamole hadn’t just browned, it was completely black and oxidized. When I asked how long it had been out, the manager insisted it hadn't been sitting there all day, which clearly wasn't true given its condition. It struck me that leaving uncovered, unrefrigerated food out for hours in guest rooms is exactly the kind of thing that invites an insect problem in the first place; no amount of blaming the rainy season changes that. Throughout the entire ordeal, what stood out most was the lack of genuine concern. There was no real "how can we make this right," no meaningful apology or gesture to accommodate the disruption — just a passive attitude, like this was a minor inconvenience rather than a legitimate health and safety issue. The final morning summed up the whole stay. Checking out, I greeted the on-duty manager, Alejandro, with a simple "good morning." His response was "good morning, you look tired" - an odd and unprofessional thing to say to a guest, especially one he didn't know personally, and especially after the two horrible nights I'd just had. I didn't make an issue of it and just replied that yes, I was very tired. Honestly, I almost didn't write this review. I don't take pleasure in speaking negatively about a business, and it's not in my nature to want to disparage anyone. But I'm sharing this experience so that no one else has to go through what I went through - to feel unsafe on their vacation, dismissed when they raise real concerns, and exhausted instead of restored after what should have been a relaxing trip. For a property charging five-star, five-diamond prices, the actual level of care, cleanliness, and basic guest courtesy fell far short of that standard.

Fantastic service! Gerardo is Amazing at Noi! I enjoy my stay every time we come. Food is delish, drinks are amazing but service from the spa to the rooftop pool to the wait staff amd front desk, all amazing wonderful people.

We had an amazing experience (for 95% of the trip) at Mousai! I will definitely focus on the positive aspects first. I’d like to mention the people who made the experience a 10/10:Pool guys: Enersto, Gilleromo , Eduardo , Omar and Gabriel were simply outstanding!! Our butlers were so attentive and knowledgeable and took care of every detail without hesitation: Daniel and Diego. They made our birthday trip top notch!! We will visit again because of the workers who work very hard!! Louise at Doi, Faby at Concierge and Alexandro at the front desk made for a smooth check in. Jerry at Noi was also very attentive and friendly during our dinner! The rooms were amazing with all the bells and whistles! The iPad with service requests and lighting features was a nice touch!! We had a room in the North Tower which made for an impeccable view from our balcony on the 8th floor. Now the con…… the sales pitch! First of all the tour guide was very friendly however Hector and Tony were pushy to the extreme!! We were there 3.5 hours and after turning down the offer, we were guided out the back door, then pointed to where to walk to get back to the resort. Prior to this, we were driven everywhere during the tour. Luckily, the driver saw us and stopped to see if we needed a ride back to the North Tower. It left a BAD taste in our mouth. If you’re just on the fence and want to learn more about the property, just walk around and ask questions, do not do the tour. It really dampened our day and wasted a great deal of our time!!

The first thing I have to say is I have traveled to all inclusive resorts all over and this one is so for by far the best I have ever stayed at. Dreams, Secrets, Live Aqua just to name a few. This one blows all of them out the water. The butler service goes unmatched Diego and Daniel never missed a beat. I wanted ti change dinner time jo problem arranged a of site cooking class no problem. When we need something less that 2 minutes was like they were standing outside the door. They sent messages all day to make sure we knew we were welcome and when we left the phone in a Uber got it back the same way. The level of service and the food was top notch fine dining above michelin stars. The room service fast and hot breakfast. The spa not for me but it was great I don't like spa it don't feel manly but the experience was out of this world. The cold plunge I wanted to do that again. Th steam room had me thinking when I get home my son bathroom is getting transformed 😂 when he leaves for college next month. The entire experience from the drinks to everything room etc i can write forever. All inclusive is the way to go trust me you won't regret spending the extra money.

Our stay was made unforgettable thanks to our butlers, Diego and Daniel. They went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had everything we needed. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, professional, and always one step ahead—whether it was arranging reservations, helping with transportation, or making sure every request was taken care of quickly. Their genuine kindness and outstanding service made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. It’s rare to meet people who take such pride in making your vacation special, and they absolutely did. They were one of the highlights of our trip, and we can’t thank them enough. If you’re staying here, you’re in excellent hands with Diego and Daniel. We can’t wait to come back!
