From the looks of it, it's probably a few weeks away from opening.

I tried posting the link to the hotel info, but FT won't let me post links since I'm new to the site. Try to type in the URL like this and if not, I can send another way: "conradtulum." + "sabio." + "host"

The resort is located on a small cove (look at Google Maps for perspective). The beach is relatively small, but had nice white sand and is not rocky. They had two guys raking up the beach every morning, so there was minimal seaweed. The nice thing about being in this cove is that it's a very calm beach. No big waves even when it was windy. We brought goggles and were able to do some snorkeling. There are a few rocky parts where we saw fish, some coral, even a stingray. Nothing like real snorkeling, but cool for being right off of the beach.

The Conrad did a pretty good job of hiding the construction. They only have 4 of their 8 "casas" open right now (buildings where guests stay), but they make sure that the ones under construction where the ones furthest away from the main resort area. A couple of nights, we could see the flood lights from construction on the other side of the resort, but we had no issues with noise. The main resort area is basically entirely finished with the exception of that last restaurant and the kids club area.
