Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"I loved how beautiful this resort was. The staff was okay definitely could’ve been better. Since I was celebrating my birthday, I did expect a certain level of service that I don’t feel like I received. At one point I got lost checking in to find my room and Shuttle that operates around the property took forever many times. It was a rainy trip so I did end up walking a lot of the time given they offer a shuttle and the property is fairly large. This was very inconvenient. The pools were well-maintained. The food was not what I was expecting either, but there were a few good options. I was expecting much better flavor. The coffee shop is not open in the mornings which I thought was crazy. I also got sick on my trip, which was very unfortunate but I guess it’s pretty normal? Definitely shouldn’t be."

"My stay was good overall, and I loved the beachfront location and the spacious, clean room with a kitchen. Unfortunately, there was a lot of seaweed on the beach in Playa del Carmen during July, so I shortened my stay and moved to Cancún, where the seaweed conditions were better; the boutique hotel itself was nice, and the staff was okay."
