Mezcal Boutique Hotel

"Friendly and generous staff with a high attention to detail and comfort. This is an exceptional property for an authentic Mexico experience. The service, food and rooms will transport you away from home and into another country filled with love and professionalism. The grotto pool has a small footprint but is deep, beautiful and comfortable to swim and lay around in. I will be back each year, I truly adore this hotel and the location is close to everything to get around and have a wonderful...

AVA Resort Cancun - All Inclusive

2/10 Terrible

"Todo me encantó muy lindo el hotel limpio muchas actividades en la piscina y en la noche lo recomiendo 100%"

Hotel Riu Palace Las Americas - Adults Only- All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Staff were excellent, friendly, helpful. Now the hotel was clean but in need of major updates and remodeling. I had a room where the Ac barely worked, even with the ceiling fan on it was still warm in my room. The hallways felt cooler than my room. My shower walls were filthy in some black sort of dirt. I had to go buy dawn dish spray and try to clean them myself since housekeeping never bothered. My shower would flood every time we used it. There were stains on walls. Had a broken glass cup that was never changed. Not enough outlets in the room. The tv remote was a joke, I couldn’t figure out how to properly change channels or volume since there were no obvious remote buttons to tell you. Sometimes the tv turned on sometimes it didn’t. The couch in the room was old, curtains had holes in them. Let’s just say this. The hotel is older and needs major TLC. Won’t be coming back."

The Westin Resort & Spa, Cancun

6/10 Okay

"The good: The room was clean, the view is nice, the food is great at the sports bar, amenities are decent. The bad: The staff was not so helpful a couple of times. Staff was pushing to move the car fast, even if I was just dropping the bags for a few minutes! The fridge in the room was not working and the A/C was cool (72 F) but not able to handle a lower temperatures, pool closes at 8pm."

Breathless Cancun Soul Resort & Spa - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The shining stars of this resort was the room and the staff. Location is not the best, BUT i stayed on resort most of the time so very much got to experience what was available on-site. Plenty to do, but not so much that it felt overwhelming or too busy. It was amazingly relaxing!!! Highly recommend staying on the 26th floor as my room was jaw-dropping. Water was beautiful, beaches were nice. Pools were clean. Buffet was awesome ( I did not bother with the other restaurants because of the wait). Room service was nice. No poolside bar, which made me sad. Couple of things to note-- TIPPING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ALL-INCLUSIVE. Please tip in either USD or Pesos (both were suggested when I asked about preference) to the employees. I saw so many people not tipping, and even though staff was great.Made me sad because the staff is amazing. Another thing: The hotel is likely being bought-out by Marriott, which will totally change the vibe. It was already negatively impacting the staff-- my last day, I had zero percent of the staff that I had come to know because of their weird staffing changes. I like going to a resort and enjoying the same staff day in/out. It makes the experience feel more like home."
