this was my first time in cancun and at a three star hotel. I must say i was nervous.The reviews were not good, however i realize now that some ppl just like to complain and can't see the good that is there.You know your getting a budget hotel but they try so hard.The staff was excellent, drinks great, pool was just what u needed and close to bar, beach was small but terrific.The rooms are all differnt.if u get a really bad room they do have better and will give u a nicer one if u ask. but remember its not the ritz as u can tell by the price.so if u get a decent room i would stick.There clean but small.We had a newer looking bathroom and though the room was small it was just what we needed, bad tv (one english chanel)but great air conditioning which is so important there,and as long as it's clean what more do u need?who spends that much time in the room anyways.The food was ok.but i stayed at a four star in mexico at the myan and the food was bad.I was able to find something to eat everyday.., which is all i cared about.the breakfast was the best of the buffetts.and the ala cart was there hidden gem.u can eat there as much as u want though they dont advertise this.but there only open three days a week.if u time it well u may get three and it will be your best meal there,though the menu doesnt change much there,also make sure to book first thing the morning of as seats are very limited. If your looking for an amazing meal outside of the resort ask the front desk about Mocambo restaurant.they will give u a card for a free drink and give u directions.is close by buy hidden.Best meal i have ever eaten! the residents go there.it's a very nice place with a great water view and amazing services, decent prices.u wont be dissapointed.the llobster and shrimp were so good we ate there twice.If u go to this hotel with an open mind u will be pleased with what u get for your money.it over camde my expectations.location was perfect, with a dollar bus ride up and down the strip thats your best bet for getting around .there are pushy ppl in the markets(almost overwhelming) but great mall shopping. i felt very safe leaveing the resort and being in the resort as well.i had no theft problems what so ever as that was a fear of mine from the reviews, mind u idid keep personals locked in suit case just in case(just use commom sence) the resort was full and ther was many nice pppl to chat with.wake up early to get a chair tho as these are limited.and if your looking for entertainment go out for it as theres not much at the hotel, but u wont be board as theres lots near by.conclution, keep an open mind and you will love your stay.be nice to them and they will do everything to ensure u have a great time.ps, buy a large bottle of water at the start of trip and just refill it from there jugs.(great money saver and its good water/stay away from the tap even when brushing teeth!)
