Hi all going to Cancun in July and August, never been before. Whats this hotel like? Advice- any must do's??
I was going to stay there but didn't because of expedia. Anyway, the hotel on the outside looks really nice. You're across from Outback Steakhouse, Margaritaville, and Pat O'Briens. Plus you're not far from the clubs which isn't far at all.
I stayed there once about five years ago. The rooms are really nice, like junior suites, but I only remember one pool. It's a great location, great beach and the food was good.
stayed there a cpl of yrs ago. beautiful hotel but the food made us both really ill. Hope it's better by now. We had very little a/c in our room but we were able to deal with it. All in all a really good stay except for the food
Just stayed there July 17th through the 25th. Pool is kind of small but lots of folks. Beach is awesome (huge shells past the small shallow 'shell area'). Drinks were great: My wife loved the BBC, Toasted Almond. Kids drank more 'virgin' Mango Tangos, Pina Colados, Melon Colados, Miami Vices than I imagined their bodies could hold. If it were just the wife and I, we would have moved & upgraded over to the Royal (they were offerring it at $15/day) That was a pretty good deal. Dinners - Marias was good if mainly for the Mayan Coffee. The Sunset Grill was great (only steak to really get is The Hunter - filet) T-Bone, Sirloin were mighty fatty. Sushi is ok at night. Sandwich place by the pool is really good. Buffet is good (but gets old with same old stuff over and over). Lobby bar is fun at night (they have live music & Karoake night is pretty happening) Anything else ping me. I went down the big slide twice and took out about 5 kids just hanging around at the end ;-) Staff (entertainment, drinks, house cleaning) were awesome. They even have a washer/dryer which we used twice on the trip.
