When we decide to go to Cancun,i search a long time and dig and dig to find the best possible place. And we find it! I assure you that i am a genuine costummer who pass 1 month in Brisas at Gerry GOLDMAN penthouse. First it is NOT A ALL INCLUDE resort. Yes you have to make your meals. No problems you got all you need in the kitchen. Activities? Pool,beach,walk and sunbathing. Now thats a vacation. Security guards and a place where owners try to keep their property in good shape. Clean and sober. We love the fact that we are not tight to our condo! If we want to have dinner outside,we go. Dont have to get back to eat cause we paid for it! (Get the picture?) We love the liberty that this lodging give us. That means that we did not ear some drunk poeple shouting at 4 a.m. and try to flirt our daughter. Brisas is made for quit people who enjoy a simply nice place
whit no fuzz or partys.... My family and i will like to thaks Gerry and Mary Goldman for their hospitality and their oppening for a great deal! By the way, we start in a one bedroom unit who was very nice but a bit thight..so we move to the penthouse whit sunrise on one side ans sunset on the other.....Now thats a vacation.

We had unit number 2308. It is very noisy the room is right on the side of the street , all night we could here buses going by. We were expecting a room then a living room with the TV but the TV was in the bedroom which was difficult for us because we were travelling with our baby. The unit had no blacony as shown in the picture we saw on Homeaway.
The owner is really nice, he tried to give us another unit but nothing was available. The unit had a great view on the ocean and is really closed to the beach. If you are planing to stay in and only go to the beach it could be suitable for you. Know that to get a coffee you will need to get on a bus as there is nothing close by, no restaurant, no store nothing... Furthermore, the internet does not work haft of the time, you need to get close to the antenna otherwise it does not work from inside the unit.

Suites Brisas is a resort filled with individually owned condos, and the experience you have depends on the landlord you choose. I went with three friends in early November and stayed in a condo owned by Zlatko and Mila (cancunbeachapartments.com). We found the condo to be clean, well-kept, spacious, and perfectly suited to our needs. We also paid less for it than we would have paid for a much lower-quality hotel. My only complaint would be that there was no maid service.

As for Suites Brisas as a whole, we found the resort to be exactly what we wanted: we wanted a cheap place to stay, even if it meant sacrificing a few amenities, and that's what we got. The complex is well-kept and has a guard at the front entrance, which is nice, and there's a small convenience store with sunscreen and snacks and a little bit of food; we bought cereal and milk there and ate breakfast in our condo, which helped us save money. There's a nice pool and pool area with chairs and a gorgeous view of the ocean. The stretch of beach was very adequate; only a few palapas but plenty of beach chairs.

That's not to say the resort was without flaws. The pool has a swim-up bar but it was never open while we were there. The first few days we were there the sand was perfect, but towards the end of our trip there was a huge storm, and the waves uncovered two large rocks in front of the resort (kind of a pain, but there was still plenty of space to swim, and anyway the beach along the whole Hotel Zone is public and you can go wherever you want). You had to ride the bus to find restaurants, as there's none close to the resort. There was no staff, really, no front desk to call if you forgot a toothbrush, no laundry service, no entertainment director organizing activities by the pool.

But the point is, we knew it would be like that, and we decided we were okay with it, to save money. So if you want somewhere cheap, and you understand what you're getting yourself into, this is a great place to stay. If you want to spend more money in order to have a nice breakfast and a concierge on site, this is definitely not the place for you. Most of all, remember that every condo is different, based on who owns it.

We just returned from Cancun and stayed in La Brisas, unit 3107 for four nights. The unit was just okay--smelled musty and the bathroom had an obnoxious smell. Asked for more wash clothes and received shoe shine mitts (I kid you not). Was charged an additional "resort fee" that was not mentioned in any of the emails or on line information.
A grill by the pool is only food available, although the food there was good as was the service. Our unit was directly above the bar/grill so a lot of noise on Friday and Saturday night. The pool area was lovely though and relaxing.
