“awesome vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I LOVED THIS HOTEL!!!!!! The place was spotless inside and out. The beds were comfortable, no refigerator, but so what. The 2 pools were immaculate. And the landscaping was gorgeous. The staff catered to our every need, we were treated like queens. The restaurant and convenient store are in front of the hotel which is very handy. Any place you stay in cancun you will have to travel to points of interest. No one hotel is close to everything. I was there labor day weekend and am going back nov.3-7

“Value for money & convenient location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Excellent value for money. Central location with easy access to buses. Close to embarkation point for Isla Mujheres. Ideal for someone who wants to holiday in Cancun on a budjet. Don't expect too many frills as there are none. Staff were polite, though command of english can be tricky. Rooms clean.

“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010

person found this review helpful

Excellent value if you don't need a full view of the ocean (there is a partial view across the street, and a good view of the lagoon to the south). Ample room, small balcony. Very quiet when I was there. Very clean. Staff works hard at their English and with a bit of my tourist Spanish they were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant serves only breakfast, but a good selection off the menu at fair prices. Car rental, internet, and a small convenience store in front of the hotel; bigger convenience store a block away. Beach access by the outdoor bar at the ferry across the street - a hotel beach but no one objected.

“Quiet hotel in Cancun with hard beds and pillows”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2009
1
person found this review helpful

My students and I stayed here overnight after flying in from Cancun. (We were on a tour) The staff does not speak English, but since I speak Spanish, I was fine. The lobby is quite small, especially when 3 large tour groups come in at the same time! The food at the restaurant was okay. I enjoyed the spaghetti with cream sauce. The breakfast was fine as well. The orange juice was freshly squeezed. The shops next to the restaurant had overpriced items. I remember they were asking $20 for a beach towel! But if you bargain with them, you'll get a good deal.
We didn't stay here too long because we drove to Merida the next day but I'm glad we only stayed one night. That bed and pillow were so HARD and uncomfortable! It felt like I was sleeping on a table!

“Too far away and not what it promises”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2009
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is what you expect for the price and if your on a budget its actually not bad. However if you dont want to spend your whole holiday getting on and off buses to simply go to the beach or to a restaurant then this place isn't for you! We didn't realise exactly how far away this hotel was from anything. They say they have a beach club but you need a bus to get to it (the one you pay for is actually amazing but once again you have to get the bus). If you want to go to a restaurant or anywhere, once again a bus is needed.

Also, the "pool bar" is a complete lie. There once was a bar by the pool, about 10 years ago perhaps but this is now just an empty bar at the end of the pool that is covered in cobwebs. There are about 10 sun loungers, a few of which are broken, the garden is non existent and basically the place needs a good overhall.

we were really disappointed and didn't feel like we could relax as we were constantly getting on and off buses and the place is extremely noisy due to pool pumps and people running up and down the stairs.

the rooms are actually quite nice and are very big and cleaned very well. but i would never stay here again as i actually felt as though it ruined our whole holiday which is a real shame as we were really looking forward to a relaxing beach break.

my advice is to pay the extra and stay in one of the resorts on the beach or better yet skip cancun altogether and stay in playa del carmen 1 hour away!

Stayed December 2008
