Disappointing Resort

Sunscape Cozumel is a 3 star resort and not a 4 star as advertised. There was one pool and 2 options for meals. There was a very limited number of dishes at the buffet. We had a number of issues with our room including a balcony door that did not lock and a door that that did not seal shut. The entry mecanism was quite tempermental. There was a lack of towels in the room. We had to repeatedly ask for hand towels and facecloths. We had to repeatedly ask for soap at the bathroom sink. There was bo [... read more]dy lotion but no soap, which meant the need to go into the shower to get bodywash every time we needed to wash our hands.

Very disappointed

In 50 years of travel, this was the worst experience to date. We arrived late at night and after a lengthy check in we're left to find our room in the dark by ourselves. The room was dark, smelly, small, dirty and in poor repair with an ac unit that sounded like a 727 landing in the room. I pulled back the bed cover to reveal dead insects and skin debris off someone's nasty feet. We requested a room change and were offered for just $500. USD an upgrade to include use of 3 resorts along with a [... read more] high pitched sale to join the Unlimitied Vacation Club. We declined and were given a new room that was acceptable. There are 2 restaurants, Italian and Asian with limited choices in each. I was unwell and missed a day of my stay as I was in bed. This was a first for me to get sick while traveling but the food is that bad. You have to save a chairs on the beach by 6-7 am and this does not ensure they will not be occupied when you arrive foe your time on the beach. We had people just take over our chairs and towels and refuse to return them to us. The only positive was the staff, they work hard to really try to please and are working with limited resources . Do yourself a favor and don't pick this resort. I read the bad reviews and thought how bad can it be? Well it was bad!

Worst resort I have ever stayed at. Run even if the price is cheap. This place is a 1 or 2 star at best.

Rooms rundown. TVs not working in the entire resort all week. Hot water slow to come out. Food not good no taste overcooked few choices. Only 2 resturants lineups at peak dining hours. The Secrets and Dream hotel guests could come over and use our one pool take our chairs and eat in the 2 small restaurants and we could not use their amenities. Staff wanted us to move to Dreams for 300 US dollars and kept asking us daily to sign up for preferred membership. From what we saw it didn't really look  [... read more]much better at the Dreams and Secret hotels. Our pool was family friendly and the beach was nice. Only one bar and alcohol was watered down not tastey . When you are on holidays you hope for good food and drinks not at this resort. I am not a picky person. If you don't mind overcooked greasy food not Mexican then this is the place. If you wanted a beach chair you had to get up at 7am to put your towels down. One morning our towel and chairs were taken while we were at breakfast. Every man for himself. I would not go to this resort even if it was offered for free. I have travelled to many all inclusive resorts and this was the worst. Nothing to do in the evening only one show all week.

RUN!!!!

I want to start by saying that we’re not picky travelers and usually enjoy wherever we go, but this experience at Sunscape Cozumel was beyond disappointing. This is our second time in Cozumel, and I can confidently say I will never return to Sunscape—even if they offered me a free stay. From the moment we arrived, the front lobby staff was aggressively pushing a $380 US massage package for one hour (per couple). Of course, we declined, but it set a bad tone for the rest of our stay. The wo [... read more]rst part was the food. There are only two restaurants on the property. The buffet is only available for breakfast, and for lunch and dinner, you're forced to endure a slow, painful à la carte experience. Each time, we waited 30 minutes just to be seated, and another 30 minutes to be served. I can tolerate the wait if there’s a varied menu to choose from, but both restaurants had just 6-7 options, and the menu never changed. It felt like we were eating the same limited choices over and over again. The lack of variety, the frustratingly slow service, and the overall lackluster dining options were a huge letdown. It’s hard to relax when you’re dealing with such poor food service, and I would never recommend this resort to anyone. If you're looking for a place with decent food and a better overall experience, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Great resort for the price point

We had a wonderful stay! This is a 3 1/2 star resort, so go with that expectation. The rooms were nice, we were on the 2nd floor with a garden view with a peak of the ocean, very nice. We were thankful we were not on the ground level. The grounds were kept up beautifully and the staff were very friendly. There is a buffet restaurant and an a la carte, food was good, but a bit repetitive. The pool had a kids slide, not a relaxing spot as loud music was normally playing. We were there at Christina [... read more],, so a busy time, chair had to be 'reserved' with towels just after sunrise of we would have been out of luck. The swimming and snorkelling was amazing, just off the beach. I liked that it was a smaller resort as well.

Amazing staff. Nice resort.

The hotel was small, with only 1 pool and 2 restaurants. It is sandwiched between 2 other newer 'sister' resorts that we could not use. The rooms were small, beds were comfy. The staff were outstanding and made this resort what it was. We enjoyed our stay. Food was mostly good, as were the drinks, coffee and ice cream.

Great resort

the resort was great wish there were resturants to choose from since they only had 2 , the pool was good could have been bigger but was very quite during the day witch is nice and the staff was amazing.

Wonderful staying!

Amazing trip! The hotel looks good. The room are wide and comfortable but need some maintenance. The service, food and entertainment activities were great. What i did not like that there was no wifi service for free of charge at the room. I have enjoyed a lot the beautiful sunset and Mango Tango drink. I highly recommend Sunscape for low budget trips to Cozumel!

Very average

Small pools. Chairs broken. No chairs available unless up at 9 am. Buffer is outside and poor at best. Rooms are good. Food is average and room service excellent. Good staff though and always pleasant. Need water shoes for beach. All coral

3* Resort

The beach was nice, don't forget to wear water shoes, you will need them. The grounds were kept nice and clean. Our room was nice, it was located in the section near the quieter pool. The food was so-so. But I read reviews and I was expecting it. What I didn't expect was to get some kind of stomach bug caused by either the food or the drinks. They didn't really clean their plastic glasses very good at the bars, so that's where I think I might have picked something up. My husband got sick as well [... read more]. The staff were very friendly and I think they work really hard. Would I go back, no. It was not worth the money we spent for this all inclusive.

We enjoyed our time at Sunscape Sabor Cozumel

We traveled to Cozumel with Air Transat, arriving at 10pm and into the hotel by 11pm. We had requested a King Bed. The room we were given Saturday was two double beds. On Sunday they told us they were full but could get us a King the next day. Monday we were given the room with a King. It was quite clean. the bathroom had new tiles in the shower, but the door showed signs of long term damp. The shower was great, both temperature and water pressure. the room was cleaned every day before noon. Sin [... read more]ce our new room was close to the lobby, we were able to walk over for WiFi. The bar in thP lobby had great Cappuccino that we got each afternoon after the beach. The room was the furthest away from the Portofino Buffet restaurant, but close to the lobby and pool. We enjoyed meals in all the restaurants and were not disappointed. The bar service was excellent, with drinks served daily on the beach. We loved the beach and snorkeling daily. There were lots of chairs available on the beach in the shade and sun. The pools were busy and popular. The older buildings are in need of a face lift, but the newer ones look very nice. The weather was terrific and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip

Good little resort

We were at Sunscape Sabor for two weeks and enjoyed the smaller resort experience. It is older and does not have the sleeker feel of newer resorts. The biggest plus for this resort is the staff – all were extremely helpful and pleasant. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Good curtains to keep out the light too. The bathroom could use an upgrade but was clean and tidy and there was plenty of hot water and towels. The air conditioning worked well and the room had a safe, f [... read more]ridge (filled with water and soft drinks), coffee maker, and a TV with a variety of channels. The walkways around the resort are winding and have steps and ramps so they may not be easy for someone with mobility/balance issues. The pools were clean and beach towels were available at your convenience (no chits required). We enjoyed the buffet restaurant for breakfast and most lunches. We also tried the Mexican, Italian, and Grill and all had a nice selection of tasty food. The beach is small, so chairs are closer together than on larger resorts, but there was usually no problem in finding a chair by the beach, or by the pool. There are also hammocks dotted around the length of the beachfront. Swimming off the beach is ok (saw lots of fish) but beach shoes are handy as the water is very shallow and there are lots of rocks and coral underfoot. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Only downside for us were the people who played their boomboxes at the beach and pool without using earbuds (we were not as pleased with their music selections as they were)!

Great Diving Great People Good Resort

We had a Pool view Suite room 3623, room was large and very comfortable. The restaurants where good, we liked the Italian and the Mexican always found something to eat. I think the food is the weakest point of the resort as the buffet is small. The beach is nice white sand but it stops at the water, then the reef starts you will need water shoes or very good sandals to get in the water very rocky. For us this was not a set back as the reef is protected so they can't add sand, the diving and [... read more] snorkeling is great. This was our fourth time to the Sunscape Sabor - Secrets resort. The people are the main reason we return to Sunscape Sabor, Victoria (beach service) is the best always made sure my beer was full after a couple of morning dives. Like everything in life you get what you pay for if you want a higher end stay, then stay at the Secrets. If you want good value for your money and you are vacationing to dive and snorkel then stay at the Sunscape Sabor. We will be returning for sure!!

First time in the sun!

Staff were AMAZING. The grounds were NICE. The rooms were OK. Only OK because the dresser is very old and we had to ask for it to be fixed cause one of the drawers wouldn't open. Geared to families with children. There were fun activities but a heads up there is NO adult swim bar. Most excursions are close BUT cab fare is not reasonable. There is no sharing cabs to cut fares down you just get charged double if there are two stops. This was our first time in the sun and we were complete [... read more]ly satisfied.

Some challenges

Beautiful hotel. Aged, but charming. The water treatment was really quite smelly but that is life, can't be helped. Our rooms were late to move into, that was disappointing but then again, it happens. Very disappointed to not get the rooms that we requested which were the partition walls in each room. We travelled as a family of twelve, so were thrilled that the kids with children got large rooms with the tubs on the balcony. This however didn't make up for the fact that the grandparents couldn' [... read more]t babysit the kids in their room because there were no partitions. The children got kids tv channels, we requested to have our tv fixed but it didn't happen. First room we had the air conditioner was extremely loud, I couldn't sleep. We were able to move the next day but still not the room we requested. They said at the desk that we requested a room with two double beds, no way is that true. Our travel agent said that we would get the same rooms, with the partitioned doors, so why the miscommunication? upsetting, but this did not ruin our vacation. Food was good. We had a lovely family time together.

Sunscape Sabor

This is our third time at the hotel. The first time I was not too impressed. It is a 3 star hotel. During our second visit, things were improving. But this time, not as good. Our room needs a lot of work. Everything is old and run down. Very simple. We were travelling with a f group and both of them had leaks in their rooms. It rained a lot while we were there and water came in and soaked beds, floors. One couple was offered another room, the other person was offered a room, but it was in worse  [... read more]condition than the first. Even the lobby roof leaked! Beach is okay, pool fine. Restaurants were fine, nothing fancy. Not much entertainment at night. Staff is ok, but not extraordinary! Don't think we will ever go back.

Disappointed

The rooms were not in good shape, the food was good, service mediocre at best. Not much more to say, there are a few good people at the resort. Two members of our party had to move rooms because it rained and the rain came in their rooms.

Excellent resort .

It is truly an excellent resort although the only negative thing is that some [ not all ] of the rooms are being up graded and some have not been up graded at this time . The food and restaurants are very good and the staff is excellent . They will bend over backwards in their service . The resort is also very clean .

Great Family Memories in Cozumel!

Sunscape Sabor was a lovely family-friendly resort with something for everyone to enjoy! The grounds were lovely, with beautiful garden and beach views. The beach was beautiful and had spectacular views along the coast. There was amazing snorkelling right off the beach and at the pier and the resort had so many activities for adults and kids alike to enjoy all day, beach or poolside. The food was good and there was plenty of variety; we especially enjoyed the Portofino Buffet, which had amazi [... read more]ng views of the beach and coast. Each day had a new theme with local and international cuisine and dishes. Between the buffet, bbq and snack stations and restaurants, you could pretty much eat whenever you wanted! The staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful and we felt welcome and comfortable asking for information or assistance. Check in with staff to know when they're around and they'll be happy to serve you! The staff also organized many fun activities for children and adults alike and our kids loved playing volleyball in the pool or at the beach, a movie night on the beach, ping pong, Mexican games, and the super fun foam party on Saturday night! The kids were well supervised during activities and this allowed us adults to have some time to ourselves while the kids were always safe and close by so we could check in on them. We had a great week overall and wish we could have stayed a bit longer; thanks to Tracy Weldon for helping us book our wonderful Mexican vacation at Sunscape Sabor; loads of fun, sun, adventure, and relaxation for the whole family to enjoy! If we ever return to Cozumel, we know where to go!

Moldy Rooms

We just returned on February 1st from a week stay here and definitely would not return! There was mold growing behind our bed and in our bathroom and the tub felt like you were going to fall through it not to mention the air conditioner leaking water all over! We do not require fancy or modern but draw the line at black mold growing behind your bed and. Your bathroom!!! We asked about an upgrade thinking maybe some rooms had been renovated they took us to view another room which was exactl [... read more]y the same except ocean view and they want $300 US for this?
