We stayed at Carisa Y Palma for two weeks over the new year. We had a great experience, but that is because we knew what to expect.
C y P condos are basic accomodations! Please do not book here expecting a vacation resort...it is not, nor does it pretend to be! This place is for people who are looking for an affordable place to stay that is smack dab in the middle of all the action. The location cannot be beat. Location and ocean view alone are worth the price. I would recommend this place to people who have visited Cancun before and have a feel for what they are doing or first-timers looking for a no-frills, affordable place with a great location. All the action (clubs, restaurants, souvenirs) is within walking distance. But please, do not expect a resort.
The rooms are a good size with kitchenettes, two beds, tv and not much else. There was always hot showers, but its so hot down there we usually took cold showers anyway. There is virtually no staff other than front desk. There is wireless internet in the lobby. We don't like staff bothering us or feeling like the staff are watching us so this is exactly what we were looking for.
Bottom line: If you are looking for an affordable, basic place to stay in Cancun that is situated in great location, with spectacular ocean views, then book here. If you are looking to be pampered at an all-inclusive resort go elsewhere.
