3/5

Would give this hotel a 7/10- butlers are attentive, rooms are clean, lots of dining options. Where it loses points is the lack of umbrellas, crappy drinks, lack of poolside loungers, disgusting room service, and not great service even for those with VIP (star class). We had a decent time, but would choose a different resort next time.

Amazing food

The food at this resort was unbelievable. We were a little surprised with how many kids there were especially at night considering “adults only” but it was still amazing. We rented a cabana for a day it was great. The beach was perfect, the nicest beach any of us had seen in Mexico by far

Great resort except for the spring break groups and additional cost for lounge chairs/cabanas

Food was excellent/top notch! Lot's of restaurants and easy to book thru the app. The service in the a la carte was great but very slow in the buffet> Drinks - house wine was great. Other options were good but not a lot of premium alcohol options unless you paid extra to be in the "Star" class room. Room - pretty spacious but nothing special considering this is 5 star and we were in the Adult Scene area. Pillows could have been better and a bath tub in the bathroom. The resort looks a bit  [... read more]worn out considering its fairly new. Grounds - clean and well laid out but not a lot of security patrolling especially at night. Adult Scene - the minimum age should be 25. There were so many 18-20 yrs old on spring break partying until 3 am, being loud and obnoxious at the pool. It seem the hotel really advertised the resort to this crowd which I was not aware at time of booking. Beach - very nice, but it needs to be cleaned up and raked more. Additional chairs and umbrellas are also needed. There should also be a food option right on the beach and more waiters. Pools - all pools on both family and adult side were packed! It was impossible to find a chair or shade even though there is plenty of space for more. It seems the resort wanted people to rent the cabanas or bali beds at 300 and 150 US respectively. That is way to much when we already paid 5,000 for two people. The bali beds at least should be free and some patrolling by hotel staff to ensure people aren't leaving their towels for the entire day and not using the beds/chairs. Entertainment - hit and miss but we don't care too much about it. Resort credits - these were really coupons to get you to spend more money. False advertisement in my opinion. Overall the resort was nice but not staffed for spring break. Also the resort should disclose on their website that they accept spring break groups as this is determining factors for some, like us. We are in our 40s and there many that age or older who did not enjoy their stay as much or could not sleep.

AVOID - Adult side

If you're looking for an adults only 5 star and have been to other adults only resort, this place ISN'T for you!!! Upon our early 5am arrival (late departure), we were checked in and left there to figure out where to go. We were told it's over there on the left, I cannot help you. No one was available and we had to walk around in the dark trying to find our building with our luggage. Beach and the pool are beautiful. However you'll need to get up at 6am each day to reserve a lounger c [... read more]hair, both at the pool and at the beach. There are simply not enough chairs for everyone or umbrella's should you require shade. Good luck finding a spot. Although we paid to stay on the adult side, the beach is a free for all. So if you are looking to relax and enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean, reading a book or taking a snooze, there are children everywhere. This is not controlled so expect it to be loud and maybe be hit by a ball while you're sleeping. In terms of service / concierge / help desk... I don't know how many times we were told "I cannot help you". For example, when the hotel app wasn't working and we were trying to book the a la carte restaurant. Seeking assistance from the concierge was pointless. Their job is to tell you how to do it yourself on the app... well when the app isn't working who can help? What if you don't have the space on your phone to download the app? Whatever the scenario, there was zero customer service. The food buffet was expansive, but beware of the meat sitting there for hours and hours, seafood not on ice beds, depleted salad bar... not to worry there's at least 4-6 different types of french fries, pizzas and all kinds of junk food. The a la carte restaurants are cafeteria style. Very loud, no table cloths and the food is not at the level of the adults only price we paid to stay here. Fill up on a big breakfast because you don't know what the rest of the day will look like in terms of your next meal. You will be refused premium liquor/spirits if you have not paid for the star category. The majority of the drinks barely have any booze. You can get house wine for free but must pay a hefty American price for a good quality wine, so the conversion in CAD was not worth the food accompaniment. Our Directors room was beautiful, just like the photos. However, we had brown water all week coming out of the faucets, tub, leaking toilet and shower. Def. not a 5 star experience. We were told this is normal upon reporting this. This absolutely does not cut it as a 5 star. Had this been a deal of a trip, perhaps some of these things could have been overlooked. This resort might impress the novice travellers, but this was not at the expected level or the price we paid. Sadly it's a BIG no for the Adult Scene, pass and select another.

Amazing resort

Was the best resort we have ever been too ? food was awesome, beach was amazing,people where amazing, pools where awesome and rooms where clean bed was comfortable resort was very clean,weather was amazing bars where awesome, everything was amazing ?

Epic Resort!

I found this resort to be so fun. Rooms were clean staff was friendly and helpful! Pools were amazing. The family side looked fun for kids! Food is great anywhere u eat. Overall i really enjoyed my stay. This resort sure knew how to throw a party!

Great Resort

PH is a very large resort with beautiful manicured grounds, nice spacious rooms, wonderful staff and lots of good restaurants and amenities. We found the PH app was hit and miss with trying to book restaurants and would like to see that be more user friendly as it was very frustrating. The entertainment in the evenings were OK and we were disappointed at the choices and the lack of seating for everyone wanting to see them. The beach was beautiful and sand was very soft and loved spending time  [... read more]there. Having to get up early to get pool lounges was very frustrating and seeing many of them with towels on them and never seeing people using them was also very frustrating. Overall, we enjoyed our week at this resort.

Average resort but not 5*

Grounds are well kept. Rooms are very musty smelling very damp need a dehumidifier . Our shower had alot.if rust in it. Maids did bed everyday. Everyone was very friendly. Needs more lounge chairs & more on Adult side. Beach was beautiful! Lots of food options but never hot. Overall I would recommend for family not so much adult.

Amazing resort!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Planet Hollywood. Resort was very clean, friendly and professional staff, amazing food at the restaurants! Beautiful beach with white sand and clear/blue water. However, our room was very humid. Bedsheets felt damp. Otherwise, great experience! We’ll definitely return.

Absolutely fabulous resort

The hotel was so clean and tidy. Everything was within a few minutes walking distance. The staff are very friendly, and the food is pretty good. Even better in the A LA Carte restaurants. Steaks at the steakhouse A+++. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Only thing is, we had a swim up pool and could not use it, because they refused to turn the heat on. Beach was closed because it was too rough, and pool was very cold. Windy this time of year (2nd week of December)

Wonderful Resort

Beautiful resort. Well worth checking this one out. All of the staff were friendly and super helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. Everyday our rooms were cleaned up and restocked as needed. Plenty to do at the resort. The lazy river is one of the best we have been at. There was a movie theater and nightly shows. I recommend trying the fast race car track they have on site. It's a short ride but lots of fun. The entertainment team were full of energy and lots of fun. The food in the rest [... read more]aurants was amazing. The variety and flavor was top notch. If you have kids, there is lots for them to do as well. I also recommend the spa. It was incredible. Can't say enough about the whole resort. You really need to experience it for yourself.

Lackluster and Catfished

Our recent stay at Planet Hollywood Cancun, unfortunately, did not live up to expectations. From the outset, we encountered numerous issues that marred our experience. Firstly, room accommodations were a major concern. We were moved not once, but three times during our stay without much sympathy or apology. This disrupted our vacation and caused unnecessary inconvenience. Despite these inconveniences, no compensation (room upgrade) was offered, which left us feeling undervalued as guests. We  [... read more]did although receive 2 chocolate covered strawberries, 2 stale macarons and a bottle of sparkling white wine as a gesture to the inconvenience. The lack of empathy from the staff was particularly disheartening. Customer service representatives appeared dismissive and distracted when we raised our concerns, failing to provide satisfactory resolutions or even acknowledge the extent of our dissatisfaction. Another significant disappointment was the water quality and culinary offerings. The water, crucial for any resort experience, was subpar, affecting our ability to fully enjoy amenities such as in-room facilities. Additionally, the food quality was mediocre at best, with many dishes falling short of the expected standard for a 5-star resort. Most notably, several drinks tasted peculiar, resembling the flavor of soap rather than the advertised ingredients, which was highly disappointing. Despite these shortcomings, there were a few bright spots in our otherwise lackluster stay. Alejandra, the pool waitress, stood out for her exceptional service and attentiveness, making our poolside experiences very enjoyable. Her kindness helped to alleviate some of the resort shortcomings. Similarly, Wilbert, our waiter at Gusto Italian restaurant, provided exemplary service, demonstrating genuine care and professionalism that was sorely lacking elsewhere in the resort. In conclusion, while our stay at this resort had its moments of excellence thanks to individuals like Alejandra and Wilbert, the overall experience fell short of expectations due to frequent room changes, poor water quality, mediocre food, and disappointing customer service. For future guests, we hope these issues are addressed to ensure a more enjoyable and seamless stay.

Great vacation experience.

The food at PH was amazing. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Lots of pools to choose from, plus they have a lazy river. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of things to do like batting cage, tennis courts, basketball courts, movies theater, surfing, or just relax on a beautiful beach

Such an AMAZING HONEYMOON!!

We came to Planet Hollywood for our honeymoon April 8-15. We stayed in the adult only section and upgraded to star class. We stayed in building 11 and it was a good location in our opinion. Honestly our butler Yomelly truly made our experience the best. We had a second butler Issac who was also truly amazing!!!! They both went out of their way each and everyday to check in on us, see how our dinner went the night before, share the resort activities for the day and Yomelly would even show up  [... read more]to our dinner reservations to make sure we had everything we needed. Further to all of this amazing service, Yomelly and Isaac even decorated our room one day to surprise us for our honeymoon. It was so heartfelt!! The resort itself is beautiful. I know there are some reviews that complain how only a 3 year old resort can look run down, I disagree. Yes there is some wear and tear but there are over hundreds of people staying there ALL the TIME, you’d think there would wear and tear. I didn’t see any issues with the wear and tear and it did not take away from our amazing experience. The food is great! Buffet food is buffet food, the adult Braza Grill for breakfast is great, the Sunset Steakhouse is so good!!!!! Catch is great for lunch! Pool entertainment on the adult side is so fun. Moses, Hector, Adrian & Carlos hosted fun challenges and games! The DJ was also very good. The foam party on Friday was a lot of fun!! Overall we had an amazing time and we will be back in January 2025 for our friends bday as we sold her on having it at this resort!

FANTASTIC STAY AT PLANET HOLLYWOOD

This was a great resort. We felt welcome as soon as we arrived. Check-in was quick and smooth. The room was awesome...fun decor, comfortable bed, lots of storage and very clean. The restaurants and bars were friendly and very efficient. The lounge chairs were very comfortable and there were always plenty of towels. The pool area was fun with many great activities and the beach was second to none! The lazy river was also a favourite. There is lots to do and we barely scratched the surface. [... read more] Can't wait to go back.

Amazing Resort

The resort was awesome. Drink were good, staff was awesome, room was clean, and food was amazing. The one heads up is if you want higher quality liquor you needed to ask for it. Other then that the whole resort was an amazing experience.

Planet Follywood

I will start by saying that you should be wary of a resort whose guest services desk has a stack of Spa coupons and a stack of social medial disclosure waiver forms sitting on it. I rated the resort 3 stars on their app while I was staying there and was immediately bombarded with emails from guest services to meet with them to discuss my concerns. I finally did and was made some pretty incredible promises with the caveat that is sign a form indicating that if I accepted their offer I could not p [... read more]ost a review on social media. Also beware of any promises made. What I was promised, and what what was actually on the form was completely different and certainly not worth it, in exchange for hopefully helping the next traveler by writing this review. There was some good in the resort. The specialty restaurant food was very good for the most part (if you could get a reservation). But the list of negatives far outweighed any positives. These are my notes from the week. Gym. Many days there are no paper towels to clean the machines. Spray bottles that don’t work. No remote for the TVs. Staff didn’t even know there was a rowing machine. Music from whatever activities are going on in what I called the green room so loud that I cannot hear my own music when I’m on the elliptical or the bike in another room. When I asked if they could turn the music down, I was told they would be done in a couple of minutes. My point was, most people have their own music or podcast and don’t need to listen to the music blaring from another room when they’re exercising. Cleaning staff just moving dirt from one place to another. It’s almost farcical to watch them swab the floors with an old rag, and a squeegee. I sweat a lot, and when I wipe the floor after I am done with my machine, the paper towels are filthy, even after they have just been cleaned by the cleaning staff. And to top it all off, they spray some kind of spray on the ground. It almost makes you gag when you’re working out. And another annoying thing was, these ladies are trying to clean machines while people are actually working out on them. I’ve never seen that before in my life. Imagine running on a treadmill when some lady is trying to wipe it down while you’re running on it. Crazy. Sweeping dust off the treadmills with the broom, while people are running. All that dust is going into the air. You can see it in the sunlight. The same as sweeping the floors. All that dust into the air. And if you are really bored you can watch the bugs crawling on the floor Room. Takes forever for hot water in the shower. Without exaggeration, it could take five minutes for the water to heat up. Quality of workmanship, everywhere, not just in the room, is somewhat equivalent to an old Cuban resort. Cracks everywhere, paint, peeling, paint, smears, caulking, missing, etc. Cigarette butts in the drain on the deck. No ties for the bathrobes. Can’t get more than two beer in your minibar. On off switches for the electrical system and lights are bizarre. Smoking is not allowed on the decks, but the people beside us were certainly avid smokers. As I speak, I smell cigarettes smoke. When we reported the people they were verbally abusive. They even were using the F word. House cleaning is below average at best. They leave dirty glasses and beer cans on your counters. The occasionally wash the counters, but not every day. Some days they’re dirty from spills and are just left that way. One day we came back to our room and there was broken glass all over the floor in the bathroom. We generally leave a tip every day and expect at least a good average cleaning. Most nicer resorts we’ve been to do a little towel display or something on the bed. Nothing like that here. Oh, and you can’t flush the toilet at night because it sounds like a rifle going off. I’m sure it’s waking up not only our room but the next room below us for sure. Single play toilet paper was a surprise for a five star Outside Cobblestone/brick style walkways everywhere. Every day and evening people are pushing carts, the rattling noises from the wheels, the glasses, they’re carrying, etc., is so loud it is unbearable. Have to keep our deck door closed at night so that we limit the noise. Cleanliness of the grounds are debatable. Many times we see garbage, broken dishes, food, etc. laying around. I’ve seen the same pieces of garbage laying on the ground every day for the past week I’m sure 1000 staff members a day take that route and they can’t pick up some small pieces of garbage? Signage could be better for sure. Pool and beach Seat. Saving is obviously a big issue. As the week progressed, it got worse. My wife went to the beach this morning around 10:30, there wasn’t a chair anywhere in the adult scene section or anywhere else for that matter. There was nobody out there, but every chair had a towel on it. That’s not right. We pay a lot of money to be able to sit at the beach. The pool water is ice cold. Not comfortable for me at any temperature. Restaurants Usual complaints. Telling you there’s no room and you look inside and there’s empty tables everywhere. The buffet is a freaking madhouse most of the time. Its more like a scrum. It needs to be twice the size to accommodate the amount of people. Very unimpressed with the buffet food options. They say you can make reservations at certain restaurants online. Every time we’ve tried it tells us reservations are unavailable for an entire week in advance. Not too helpful if you’re only staying a week. No pizza oven in the Italian restaurant? They had to bring pizza in from another restaurant and it was an hour wait. No beer at all at the Braza restaurant one night. Braza restaurant hit and miss. First time we went there. The food was fantastic. Service was great. Second time we went there. Food was horrible and so was the service. Meat was dry. Salty. Guys burger joint. We’ve been sitting here for 20 minutes and we still do not have anything to drink. They took our order almost immediately for food and we do not have that yet as well. Seriously understaffed obviously. Bars Almost every day there’s no regular beer in the morning. Amber beer only. Some bards had no beer at all. Most evenings the outside bar doesn’t have beer on tap. They give you cans of beer that are lukewarm. Some bar staff are so slow it’s hard to comprehend. Others are quite rude. Steak restaurant Waited 20 minutes for a beer, finally went outside to the bar, got a beer came back, and my beer still wasn’t here and I don’t see it forthcoming. Theatre Seats that are supposed to recline aren’t working. Maybe a half dozen of the 24 recliners actually work. Popcorn is hit and miss. some days there is popcorn some days not. Staff operating the projector could probably use some technical assistance. Many times they would start the wrong movie and let it run for quite some time before realizing the mistake. Sports bar The pool table definitely needs to be recovered. There’s no felt left on the felt. It’s like playing pool, on a cotton sheet. That is not stretched properly. Pool cues are all warped. Some don’t even have tips on them. Overall, I would suggest that here a far superior resort to this one for the same price. The only reason this resort has a 5 star rating is that they attempt buy off anyone who would rate it lower.

All the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel like a queen from the second I arrived at the resort. The food was also amazing.
