Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Ideal for kids of all ages
The resort is really designed for families. Great pools and kids club. Baby club needs some updating and tighter rules re: ratio of adult caregivers to child. Food was ok, rooms were ok. Very good location.

Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Good place
Pros
It's a nice resort with a good layout.
Kid friendly with lots to do.
The staff are lovely.
Breathtaking views.
Within walking distance of attractions.
Italian and Mexican restaurants are delicious!
Cons
The elevators are horribly slow when they're not broken.
When we were there the zip lining was closed down for more than half our trip without warning which was disappointing since that's one of the activities our son was looking forward to doing.
Buffets[... read more] never opened on time.
Wouldn't rate this resort a 4+ star

Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Wonderful Staff! They make you feel welcomed
We arrived around noon on Thurs Apr 21..check on took a long time but they were very nice. We didn't want a noisy room so he took his time to ensure he found us a quiet room which we really appreciated. Our maid Nelly was fantastic! Every day she left wash clothes folded like teddy bear or a duck or some animal for our kids. At the pool bar was the most magical. The pool bar staff Alberth, Roger, Luis, Kevin, Joel, they are absolutely amazing and they are what make this hotel shine like no othe[... read more]r hotel we've ever been to. We would return for this reason most. They treated us so well all week and made special drinks even for the kids. They anticipated our every need smiling and attentive. Always so energetic and friendly all the pool bar and buffet staff are a pleasure. In the buffet area, Isreal and Rubical are the most amazing servers and worked hard with a smile every day. They remembered us from last visit and greeted our family every day like their welcomed family members. The pool was always clean, the beach while beautful was red flag for most of the week undertow and big waves .not good for young kids. The shows were ok and the rooms were nice.. Beds hard though. The only real problem I had was the food. Sometimes at the buffet for supper time we couldn't find much that was tasty. Most foods didn't taste quite right and even tasted odd. The meats were dry or often bland. The Ice cream was awesome though!
I was sick with an upset stomach all week and not sure if I ate an undercooked burger at the pool area or if it was something else. The pool food often the temperature wasn't regulated and lids were left open with food exposed in the hot sun . I had been to the Riu in Mexico back in Oct and had no problem with food or tummy issues what so ever there...only here. Also sometimes it was difficult to get the guy stocking our room mini fridge to come with water each day. I left a note asking for more water please but he only came after I called down to the front desk and several hours later . 2 water bottles only allowed per room they said over the phone. Yet there were 4 of us in the room . You can go downstairs and get water at the buffet ..just bring your own container. The resort has free Wii fii throughout which is great. Overall ..because of the outstanding pool bar staff we love this resort..but I wish the food were better. The kids loved the watersides the beach and the guy dressed up like Pokemon walking around. The lifeguard at the beach was very good at watching everyone he was fantastic. The bell boys were great, so was the professional photography we had done at the resort .our Kids loved what they've done with Jetix with the ping pong tables, video games and movie theater..awesome! There were vendors in the lobby several nights if you wanted souvenirs.. just steer clear of the pushy time share people..I wish they would stop time share people right in the lobby you have to walk by them every day to get to the main pool area There were 2 out of 3 elevators broken most of the week.. it was difficult to get to our room so we walked 5 flights in a hot stairwell a lot ..and 2x the elevator stopped in between floors while people on it..1 time people had to jump down to safety.. many were scared.. We met the manager the last night when there was a problem on our bill being double charged for room service when we had paid cash..but he quickly credited us the difference and fixed this once we spoke to him and not just the front desk staff. The manager was great. Overall, we were happy here. We have been here 6 times because we feel welcomed here, safe and love that the staff remember us and treat us so well. Thank you for everything CPC.

Riu Caribe Cancun: Riu Caribe
This resort is up to the standards of all the other Riu resorts in areas of service accommodation, etc but fell short of our requirements. If you are fair skinned or dealing with someone in a wheelchair it would be best not to go to this resort. There is very little coverage available at the pool and makes it necessary to either book your place at 5am or shuffle your chairs to "chase the shade". More importantly, the resort is in several levels both inside and out of the main building. Ther[... read more]e are ramps which are sufficient for strollers but they are WAY TOO STEEP for wheelchairs. Especially if the adult in the chair is heavier than the helper. Particularly dangerous is the ramp leading to the main dining room and the bottom of this ramp is only a couple of feet from the plate glass wall of the restaurant. One slip could be disastrous. The staff are wonderful and will help whenever they are there but you can't get to the pool without using ramps and they are not always handy when outside. One other thing I didn't like was the square glass dinette table with 2 wooden slat-back chairs in the room instead of comfortable chairs. This was really a problem when we wanted to relax in the room.
Needless to say if you don't have any problems in these areas you will enjoy the resort. It has many thing going for it and if you've already been to a Riu resort you will not be disappointed.

Excellence Playa Mujeres: more than excellent resort
As this was our third time at this resort, we knew what to expect and believe or not it was better than we thought. The service from the time we got there to the time that we left was unbelievable. They just seemed to go that extra mile to make sure you were looked after. The food was excellent as well as the pool and the lazy river.

Occidental Tucancun: Wonderful Resort!
Great all inclusive resort by the beach. Clear skies in low 20s. Ocean a little choppy but warm. Rooms well maintained and cleaned often. Several choice restaurants. Voucher reservations for ala carte a bit of a drag. Went as family with pre/teens - not a lot of activities òther than the pool. Spa service excellent (Thx Magda). Beach kept clean however needs umbrellas! Hotel a short ride from airport and behind Kukulcan mall. Excursions at least 2 hours away. Overall wonderful experience rec[... read more]ommend it.

NYX Hotel Cancun: Would Recommend and Return
A few things missing were the customer service at the front desk, access to all-day drinks and non-domestic drinks (unless you upgrade), but all in all, the servers/bartenders/bellhops were wonderful! The resort is gorgeous and very clean. The beach was beautiful and the food, oh wow!! Some rooms were good for the value, but not 5-star.

Grand Oasis Sens: Great week
Rooms-clean, modern, fridge restocked daily. Check In- fast and friendly. Beach- beautiful, clean and you can walk for miles.Unfortunately if you are a beach person and like to swim in the ocean don't go here. The waves are huge and red flags are up everyday meaning it is not safe to swim. Drinks good but watered down. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating. Entertainment okay but we prefer resorts with a theatre and theatre style shows instead of burlesque or cabaret style however they wer[... read more]e very talented.Fire show was great! Pools are clean. There is one quiet pool and one with daily activities. Food was good. We did not try any al a cartes but we enjoyed the breakfast, dinner buffet and the Italian restaurant. Would recommend if you want something that is adult only, close to the airport and are a pool person.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Great Staff and Atmosphere
A friend and I spent 8 days at the Grand Oasis. Overall the resort is a great place to vacation. The staff continuously went out of their way to make sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Personally when I go again I would get one of the upgraded room packages as the room we stayed in wasn't in the best shape. The air conditioning barely blew any cold air the and balcony sliding door wouldn't fully close making it quite uncomfortable to sleep. The food was better than I had expected and th[... read more]e Brazilian steak house was absolutely amazing. The grounds were well kept and they were continuously working on keeping the resort in tip top shape. The pools were a great place to spend the afternoon hanging and were huge with various sports games going on through the day.

Secrets Playa Mujeres: Very nice resort
The beaches were definitely not as the photos shown in the brochure. The rooms are very nice. We were in room 3001 very close to the ongoing construction and we were O.K. with that, the pounding didn't start till 9am. The food was great, the Italian restaurant was very disappointing. The biggest complaint was with the staffing at this resort. The expectation of staff to receive tips was some what uncomfortable. It was like a sense of entitlement.

NYX Hotel Cancun: Honest Review
This resort met our expectations based on the price we paid.
Rooms: We were in an un-renovated Junior Suite - These suites are advertised as having a balcony and ocean view. We did not have a balcony and all of our windows were located on public stairwells (so we had to keep our blinds closed the entire week). The first night our air conditioner didn't work but that was promptly fixed. However, our room smelled of strong sewer for 3 of the days.
Front desk staff were a waste of time. I spo[... read more]ke with them most days as to the condition of our room and they were very rude and extremely unhelpful. These employees were the worst part of the resort experience. It seems that they deal with dissatisfied customers regularly and have become desensitized to the situation. Very frustrating.
The beach and wait staff were incredible and made our vacation! These people work incredibly hard to please everyone and deserved all the tips they received. Food and drinks from your beach chair was a huge plus! The Nachos were amazing!
The food was average. The fresh egg station at breakfast was great but the rest of the breakfast options were lacking. Lunch was the best meal! There was a large menu to order from and was very tasty. There was no buffet at lunch but this wasn't an issue for us. Dinner was the worst meal of the day. There was a small buffet with appetizers and desserts but the rest of the dinner was a menu with limited options each night (generally 5 options based on a theme). Italian was the one night that we enjoyed the main course.
The drinks were great! Always had great flavour and a large variety of options.
The main pool was older but right on the beach and was warm. There was no swim up bar but this was not an issue for us. The waves were large on the beach (but it's Cancun and thats to be expected). I was up with the sunrise each morning so getting beach chairs and shade were not an issue for us. But if you are not an early riser you will struggle to find shade (most chairs with shade were taken by about 7am).
Overall, I would consider going to this resort again, but only if we were guaranteed a renovated master suite. I would not go to an un-renovated room again.

Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa: What an amazing week!
We stayed here march 28-April 4
Our trip was amazing the service was outstanding. Yea we had 40 min wait for room service but no different than anywhere else I've been too. Rooms were amazing amenities were amazing and staff was always willing to serve with a smile. We tipped all the servers $1 and tipped our bar tender at the pool $5 at the start of the day and continued to bring drinks all day long.
Food was best I have had yet in Mexico, dinners were yummy and well served. We ate at [... read more]the Japanese place 2 times ( not really sure why people complain about lines you ever gone to the keg on a Saturday night lol)
Rooms - provides the standard soap and shampoo but also bug spray and sun screen. Netflix works great and you can order a bunch of different pillows
Pools get warm - got no less than 80. Get up early for a towel directly beside the pool (again same as any other resort I have been to)
Only negative is night life was blah. Disco had my group of 6 and no one else lol.
Highly recommend the bike ride as it was AMAZING got to pet wild monkeys and parrots (only tip required)
We stayed in ocean view room (8509) high vaulted ceilings with couch and jacuzzi in the balcony than upgraded to ocean front swim 7225 and it has an incredible view and beautiful pool
