Gorgeous Property, Five-Star Service!

We had an incredible stay at The Edition! We were very excited to stay at this new hotel, and it did not disappoint! We’ve stayed at other Editions, and this property had the most beautiful, well-maintained grounds by far and a very spacious, clean room. The view of the ocean...

Beautiful property, perfect stay

Had a great time at the Edition. I know some had issues with staff, but we didn’t have an issue with a single staff member (the GM even brought out bags to our room HIMSELF so we didn’t have to walk back to the bell desk). No one seemed above...

2nd and last stay

Relaxing and well fed!

Beautiful resort with amazing staff. Is quiet for sure, you won’t find pool aerobics or a limbo contest- so if that’s your jam, consider another property. Also we came kid free, our kids would have been bored on day two. But if you crave a small luxury adult geared hotel-...

Perfect experience

Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Huge thanks to Rafael—he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made our evening even more special! ♥️🧚‍♀️🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏


Thank you, Edition, for making our days of rest so unforgettable.

Our experience at the Edition was truly unforgettable. Let me tell you what we were celebrating and how old we are so you can have a point of reference. We went to celebrate the beginning of our honeymoon—we’re both 28 years old. The first thing I’d highlight was the staff’s...

Fantastic dinner at So’ol

Food was great and Marco was wonderful. The setting is fantastic and Marco’s knowledge of tequila is unmatched! We are staying at the St. Regis next door and are certainly glad we made the trip over. I’d say this was one of our best dinners on this trip.


Love it!

Remarkable stay. Thank you to the hole team. Joshua at the front is remarkable. Service is great . The resort is so beautiful. From the pool to the beach club. The service is truly second to none. Highly recommend if you are looking for a luxury stay in Mexico


Nice property but missing basics

A beautiful property but several basics missing: 1) they desperately need an app or some other way of sharing information about the hotel. To get a menu free restaurant you have to walk to eat restaurant and menu sent you online. Don’t have any prices. There’s no way of knowing...

Amazing Mexico.

Amazing stay here. Pools are great. Highlight was a lunch at the beach pool restaurant. Food was out of the world and our waiter Izzy was knowledgeable and very attentive. Had a lovely time. Golf nearby and Cirque du Solie also highlights. Thanks.


Loved every minute

The property is beautiful and the staff made our stay amazing. The rooms are beautiful and our in-room plunge pool was fantastic. We loved the option of going down to the beach or one of the two pools. I wouldn’t change a thing, had a fantastic time.
