I've stayed at Sina Suites on 2 different occasions and would do so again. Sina Suites is a 3-star hotel conveniently located in an upscale residential nieghborhood next to the golf course facing the lagoon. I would strongly recommend Sina to young people who are going
to Cancun strictly to party, to large groups or people who want to save money by having huge 2-bedroom suites that accomodate 6 guests or the couple who don't need all the 5-star amenities or don't want to pay the 5-star prices. If you're seeking a resort style place, a romantic get-away, an all-inclusive deal, the infinity pool and acres
of landscaping...look elsewhere. Sina's location is simply perfect, with a 5 minute walk to restaurants, grocery stores, bus stop and a 10 minute walk to the convention center, all the nightlife and hotspots in Cancun (location is known as "La Punta" or "The peak"); it's right in the middle of the hotel zone but doesn't have the feel.
We would go down to the grocery store and stock up our fridge with alcohol, had plenty for the entire stay! The rooms are very spacious,
especially the 2-bedroom suites. You have plenty of beds, huge living
area with various bathrooms, kitchen and balconies. The cool is clean
and decent size, enough to chill there. The staff is very helpful, speak good English and give out the best whole-in-the wall, homeade cooking restaurants that are in the area, where you get the best bang for the buck, and not these chain, pricey restaurants that serve
crappy food (hint, hint: Senor Frogs, Carlos & Charlies, etc). I would definitely consider Sina Suites, don't be fooled by the color of their bed linen or the simplicity of their website. The place is really taken care of and it's in a very safe neighborhood, perfect for the people who like to explore on their own and who like to walk; we never needed to catch the bus or a cab, unless we were going very far. The place is locally owned and the owner, which lives
on-site, is very proud and particular about the accomodations they offer and service they provide; you have a problem, you complain directly to him... you don't call some 800 number or your travel agent when you get back.
If you're use to staying at hotels like The Peninsula or Ritz Carlton
or The W, this is not the place for you. But if you're the type of person that like the above stuff, then you'll be thankful you booked here. Good luck and happy travels!
