There are 8 restaurants at the resort that are included in the all inclusive/pocket emptying price. They are all incredible and all offer different options: buffet, asian, italian, international, spanish, french, mexican, etc. The buffet is very nice and offers a la carte from the table to accompany your buffet choices. There are so many staff in the buffet that they even carry your plate for you from the buffet area to your table. They do not like if you resist and carry your own plate. You need to sit back and enjoy the service. The best part of the food is the 24 hour room service. This isn't the usual hotel room service, its high end and each dish is served with amazing presentation. I will include photos below to really highlight this point. I was shocked everytime. The 24 hr room service is also included with all inclusive package as well. Another bonus is that every restaurant menu and room service menu has a special star to indicate whether it is 'healthy' or 'organic'. This is very helpful when trying to eat well on vacation. I wish all restaurants would adopt this practice.
Room Service on patio. Gorgeous. |
The beach is great for taking long walks and playing volleyball or taking out a kayak. The ocean isn't very clean out in front of hotel and there are some rocks in the water. If you are looking for crystal clear water, you could spend a day in Playa Del Carmen where it is really nice. There are nice day beds on the beach and they serve drinks down there as well.
The night scene is very slow. There is a sky bar and lobby bar but aren't very busy at night. The Kareoke bar in main lobby gets busy when big groups are in the resort but still very convention centre-y and not very outdoor mexican feel. For fun at night, take a $14 USD cab to Playa Del Carmen and enjoy the amazing mexican bars, patios, restaurants and shops that stay open till very late, like 5am late for the discos.
The Spa. A few people on our trip who had been to TONS of spas around the world said that this one was the very best. You are told to come 80 minutes (yes, 80) before your massage to enjoy the spa. There is a 7 step water journey that you can choose to go through. This includes hot tubs, water beds, water falls, cold streams, mud baths, hot/cold shower thingie, etc. It is quite the experience. The aromatherapy massage was truly amazing and I might have fallen asleep, in a good way.

ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent hotel the only bad thing is that it is super central and good if what you are looking for is privacy, then it does not suit you, but then I will leave you some tips and recommendations on your next visit and clear for the readers too.
ReplyDeleteIf you like privacy very much, it is better to book a hotel in Playa Mujeres, because the distance from the city is perfect and ideal for an intimate vacation.
If you are a water sports lover you have to book about 4 months before coming to the city to get excellent discounts
Hotels in Cancun has good promotions and discounts, however I advise you to also see reservations stay for different days to escape to nearby places and stay, I recommend hotels in holbox
