"The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the staff could’ve been a little more attentive, nicer and our room wasn’t serviced the 2n 3d we were there. Outside of that, it was a good place to pull up last minute for a good deal. Be sure to book for however many people if you use this app- if not you’ll be charged for an extra guest at check in. I was booking this last min through this app & it auto populated 1 guest, I confirmed & when I arrived & it was 2 of us & they charged an extra 320 on top of the 340 I paid. All my fault, moving too fast but the resort was nice just wasn’t worth 660."

10/10 Excellent
"While the resort has changed to different ownership. The staff still maintain the same friendliness with guest relationships. My spouse and I love going here. It’s a beautiful place to visit, relax, and if you need to plan any excursions, you can write from the hotel. The food is great plenty of options. Pool access is great for adults or even families. Easy access to the beach. Getting a cabana is very inexpensive for an all day relaxation next to the pool. The staff are warm and friendly will help you with anything you need. We especially enjoyed pool service by Daniel and Moises, the supervisor Paola, the service at Azul, the waitress for a romantic dinner on the beach. The staff are always happy to share history and knowledge. We will definitely continue to go back. A note I would like to leave future travelers don’t hesitate to pass out this hotel. You’ll definitely feel safe and happy to enjoy your vacation. Please don’t forget to tip for your service while the staff don’t ask. They definitely do work hard. I wouldn’t say this just because of this place any place you go to down there in Cancun."

10/10 Excellent
"It was such a pleasure staying at Paradisus Cancún. The establishment was very clean. We had a 4 day visit to celebrate my friend's birthday the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my friend felt celebrated. The staff was exceptional. Every member of the staff that we encountered was friendly, helpful and very accommodating. They ensured that our airport transportation was booked, they assisted us with booking our excursion. Special shout out to Omar from the concierge team and Hurtado (I apologize if I got his name incorrectly, he usually works at Kao but was also the wait staff at Sal on 9/27/2026). He really ensured that we were taken care of at Sal. I would definitely rebook and return to Paradisus Cancún the beach was great and swimmable (albeit the waves were a little rough for me). They have service on the beach and at the pool, which is perfect. Service was prompt and no fighting for lounge chairs or to be seated at the restaurants. The food was good, the pools were clean and they had nightly entertainment."
