“Amazing Stay at the El Pueblito”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2007

Ok this review is dated, I visited El Pueblito in February, 2005. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Me and 3 friends(all 18ish) booked a trip to Cancun to party, hang out, and drink cervezas. This hotel was amazing, I would recommend this hotel mainly to partyers who are on a budget and just want a cheap place to stay while in Cancun. I can't say we could complain about anything here, the beer was cold, and the bartender was more than happy to fill up our funnel for us. There was always tequilla on our tables as the tips were generous. This place is a great place to stay, on the AMAZING stretch of beach in Cancun and if you see a deal on this one and want to go there to party I would take it immediately. Sorry I can't give more information about the hotel really, this review is mainly targeted at spring breakers who are looking for budget resorts.

Cheers.

  • Liked — The atmosphere, the pool bar!!!, the beach
  • Disliked — I believe they shut the bar down early, but we just went to the clubs.

“Don't Go There”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2007

person found this review helpful

We booked to get married there, 15 family members went with us, we had no hot water for days, the pool areas are very slippery and dangerous, the food is disgusting, the beer is served in smelly plastic cups, everything shuts down at 12pm, they just turn all the lights off while your sitting there.

Workmen kept banging bits of metal whilst our ceremony was taking place which sounds lovely on the video, extra music I guess. We spent thousands overall and I wished we had gone to another Hotel.

  • Liked — Nothing
  • Disliked — Very Shabby, rooms smelt, Wardrobes were in the Shower Area

“one of my best holidays”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2007

person found this review helpful

what can i say about the el pueblito, have stayed there twice only fault i could find was when it is fully booked you can have a bit of a wait for a table in the restaurant, apart from this the staff are lovely always smiling nothing is too much trouble for them, rooms spacious and kept spotlessly clean , the hotel is not the most modern but this is part of its charm the garden setting is lovely, and the pool lay out great something for everyone from the smallest of kiddies up to the serious swimmer, the beach fabulous and a few steps down from the hotel, its been a couple of years since my last visit but the food was of a high standard and varied enough to satisfy all appetites, made friends with so many people on this holiday who still keep in touch , some have even visited us, and we them , not the fanciest hotel i have ever stayed in but one of the best

  • Liked — the staff so friendly and helpful
  • Disliked — restaurant could sometimes become a bit crowded

“Great if you're young and just want to party!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2007

Granted I did stay here a while ago, but felt I should still put in my 2 cents since a lot of people had bad things to say about it.

El Pueblito is not a place to stay if you want to enjoy the hotel and/or go on vacation as a family. I went to Cancun when I was 19 and this place was PERFECT for exactly what we wanted. We paid $600 for the flight+hotel from New York City and got just what we expected - a bed, unlimited fries, hot dogs and drinks and a bus waiting outside every night to take us out to the clubs. Yes, there were a few bugs and maybe we had to harass the staff for towels a few times, but that was an hour of our day. We'd sleep on the beach, get trashed at the hotel and get on the bus to where all the nightlife is. It's right next to the Hilton and right on the strip - not far at all. Oasis is mayne 10 mins closer to all the action - if that. So if this is what you want - this place was actually really awesome. The Oasis is thee party hotel for young people, but it was expensive and the foam party sucked from what we heard. It's close to the clubs, it's CHEAP and the beach is the same no matter where you stay.

Best choice, I think, if you're going to Cancun for what it's known for - massive drunken partying!

  • Liked — CHEAP, had young people, close to the partying and CHEAP!
  • Disliked — The ants in the room... but we'd sleep on the beach anyways

“worst holiday of all time”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2006

people found this review helpful

I am not a person to complain easily but I booked this holiday based on the information in the brochure. What it said in the brochure and what you actually get are two totally different things. Due to a hericane 9 months prevous to our holiday there was only a third of the hotel up and running without any entertainment, poor choice of food and poor food, no consideration for kids. The bar was three uneven tables pushed together and I could go on and on. If we had paid £1000 for a cheap and chearful holiday then i would of though fair enough but we paid £3000. All I wanted was value for money. If you want to book this holiday then I would try and find out exactley what state the hotel is in. If it's got the facilities as advertised in the brochure then it should be value for money but I would be really surprised if it is. There was a lot of work to be done. The choice is yours!!!

Stayed August 2006
