Beautiful Resort

Our stay at this all-inclusive resort was overall a really enjoyable experience. The property itself is spacious and beautifully designed. At the center, there’s a stunning open-air area with a glass roof, filled with lush plants that give the whole resort a tropical, relaxing atmosphere. There are plenty of seating and lounging areas throughout, making it easy to find a quiet spot to unwind. The food was a highlight. With around 6–7 different restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, there [... read more]’s something for everyone. The buffet, in particular, has a huge selection of dishes. While some options are more on the generic side, the overall quality is good and there’s enough variety to keep meals interesting throughout the stay. The beach area is spacious and well-maintained, with lots of lounge chairs available, so finding a spot was never an issue. The swimming pools are also large, clean, and perfect for relaxing or cooling off during the day. There were a couple of minor drawbacks. On the day we arrived, check-in took longer than expected—about 1.5 hours—due to a new administrative system and concierge team. Also, because the resort is so large, room service can be a bit slow at times. That said, the staff were generally helpful and the service overall was still good. The resort offers a lively atmosphere with events and activities scheduled throughout the week. One evening featured live music in the main lobby area until around 10 PM, which added to the energy, though it might be a bit loud for families with young children who have earlier bedtimes. Rooms were clean, tidy, and well-maintained, with daily housekeeping that kept everything in great condition. All in all, this is a beautiful, vibrant resort with great amenities, solid dining options, and a fun atmosphere. Despite a few small inconveniences, we had a really positive experience and would definitely consider returning.

Another wonderful Visit to the Paradisus

Stayed in the Reserve again and was treated royally. Still worth the extra expense, especially since the hotel was at 100%. The staff could not have been more helpful. There are fewer of them, and that makes their job more challenging. Special thanks to our concierge, Enrique, who worked hard to make us feel special. There was a shortage of beach chairs due to the storm in January that washed away everything on that part of the beach and so extra thanks to the beach hut employees, David and Vic [... read more]tor who did their best to find us chairs. I do hope more are on order! The hotel is closing end of May for extensive renovations, and we did notice that some minor things in our room are not maintained. I will be interested in seeing the new version. Hopefully it will not lose "the magic" that makes the hotel unique. The buffet food is only adequate, - not the same variety as we used to see and trouble keeping the food warm, Corners being cut as food costs everywhere are increasing. I'm sure that is true at all resorts, and not just in Mexico. All of our meals at the specialty restaurants were great. The chefs there are top notch. Special gratitude to our agent Karol who always takes excellent care of us when we make our reservations. He finds us the best travel available.

Terrible experience.

I would love to provide any detail about the hotel we were supposed to visot; however, due to the weather, Sunwing kept putting off our flight one day at a time. When our 7 day vacation was finally whittled down to 5 days (including one day of flying), we cancelled the trip. It turns out the following day’s flights were also cancelled. Sunwing offered us a non-transferable one year use Sunwing travel voucher for our trouble. That’s with the Worry Free Plus ManuLife Sunwing trip insurance we paid [... read more] extra for. Trip Central was sympathetic, but admitted that they had no real control over Sunwing’s policies. I don’t think I will be booking with Sunwing again - mostly because they were happy to let my 7 day holiday drop to six and then 5 days with little regard. And what good is your travel agent if they can’t stand up for you when things go wrong?

Paradisus Cancun

Nice hotel. Except layout of where our room was located. We had to go up the stairs across and down the stairs to reach our room. Love the bracelet room key. Not enough lounge chair at the pool and beach. Had to get up at 5 am to reserve lounge chair. Enforce time limit when people just leave towel on chair. Friendly staff. Good food selection. No shallow end at pool. Rooms are dated.

Honest review!!!!!!

Feb 10-16 HONEST REVIEW!!!!!! Cannot recommend the PARADISUS CANCUN Reserve section more!!!!! We were so spoiled. We stayed reserve so didn’t have to worry about waking up early to leave towels for a sun chair (except one day we didn’t have the bali bed) The free bali bed perk at the reserve section is amazing, the pool side service is top notch. The resort itself is beautiful and well maintained (been reading about closing for maintenance soon, but we couldn’t tell) we were in pyra [... read more]mid 5. Servers, bartenders, staff is all absolutely amazing, so hardworking and they go the extra mile always to make your time there memorable. The personal concierge perk that comes with the Reserve is also pretty cool that allowed us to have all our dinner reservations taken care of without having to get in lines every morning to reserve tables. The Sunset cruise, Spa day, Sal Steak house are amongst a couple of other perks that come with the Reserve section reservation that we really really enjoyed. The overall food at all the restaurants is phenomenal, the seafood is fresh, menu is well thought of and caters to different palates. Sante (reserve only) restaurant was our favourite, views to die for! The extremely warm and hard working staff definitely deserve a shoutout: Oscar, Cesar, Julio, Victor, Valarei, Gemma, Cynthia!!

Resort needs attention

Grounds , public areas and hotel overall design is wonderful . Rooms were outdated and badly needed some loving care as well . Improved house- keeping . Hot water supply was inadequate. Guest Services were friendly but not resourceful or empowered. Food was good . Service staff very friendly in dinning area, pool and all around

Horrible experience

No customer service. Took forever to get rooms. They kept telling us a manager would speak to us and no manager ever did. No hot water one day. Super long lines for anything. Ran out of beach towels. Very limited number of beach chairs and the only way to get a shaded spot was to pay an additional $250 per day for a cabana “bed”. The staff kept saying how they were short staff and the place seemed to be slowly falling apart.

Very nice resort, but has issues.

The hotel was very clean, employees were excellent, food was good, rooms were large. They have a coffee bar open on first floor open 24 hours with different types of coffee and flavors. I loved that feature. However, we had to rush down in the morning to place a towel or personal item on a chair to ensure a spot to sit at the pool or on the beach. I HATE having to do that. Also the lounging chairs could not be adjusted in any way. They were solid. So if you had any kind of back issue yo [... read more]u had to stuff towels everywhere to get comfortable. It is very uncomfortable to have to sit at the same angle all day.

Great, not a 5 star

The Paradisus Cancun has great common facilities, including buffet and exclusive restaurants. The beach is great, but found towels on almost every beach chairs without occupants. The attendant should remove towels unattended. Sometimes it’s annoying to find a spot on the beach. The resort has severe lack of evening entertainment/ activities. After 10-11pm, it’s seems dead - not expecting from such a great resort. The room is dated without all available facilities.

Phenomenal all inclusive resort

This hotel was fantastic, clean rooms, exceptional service on the grounds and in room. The food was amazing and the servers was amazing. The ocean was.so much fun. Overall one of my favorites so far and i have done a lot of travelling.

Great Resort had a good time!

Pros: Buffet food was good and lots of variety Entertainment: Good Customer Service - Was very good, all staff members were pleasant and helpful Cons: Strong scent located throughout the main lobby so if you are sensitive to smell this may bother some people Water leaks from patio doors within the rooms during rains and winds causing a safety issue with slippery floors Interior rooms need repairs i.e. washrooms doors off tracks, patio doors seized Ceiling leaks throughout hallways fr [... read more]om heavy rain fall causing a hazard No condiments in the buffets you had to ask for salt/pepper, ketchup etc Any drinks you can never get them to taste the same twice, that seems to be a common with all inclusive Ala cart Restaurants - Hit and miss, frequently items were not available Beach area umbrellas were missing lawn chairs (14 empty) so a challenge to find a place to sit on the beach The beautiful turquoise water was turbulent, so be aware, this could be a challenge for some swimmers Be aware of staff trying to sell you memberships to the Melia resort Overall had a great time!!

Nice resort

Resort was nice I would give it a 7 out of 10. Only the steakhouse was excellent food, but you had to book reserve to dine there or pay extra. With reserve you were allowed one visit but a lot on the menu was also extra charge. As was the case at most restaurants. Lemon Fish was a good restaurant but again extra for most of the menu. Entire resort did not have Pinot Grigio wine which I found very annoying. Bali beds are nice but you only get them once per 7 day stay per person. You have to go o [... read more]n waiting list for the rest of the week

Cancun 2022

Beach - Lovely sand & great for walking/ ocean for swimming. Red Flags for strong under current/rip tide. National guard and police patrolled the beach on ATVs. Very safe. Resort- 5 pyramids connected through passageways. You can stay inside or walk outside to arrive at your destination ( spa, restaurant, hospitality suite). We stayed in the Reserve. It was worth the added expense (reservations for dinner, Bali beds, etc).The resort is now at 90% capacity. The atrium decor has tropical foliage, [... read more] koi fish, ponds. Excellent Nespresso coffee stand and snack bar. COVID- staff prefers you mask indoors. However, the staff indicated that it depends on your country of origin if you mask indoors. Our group of 6 masked indoors consistently. We all had covid within the last 90 days and have been vaccinated. Majority of people did not mask indoors as it was not enforced. Although to enter restaurants you were required to wear a mask until seated ( similar to Canadian protocols). We booked (upon arrival) our return antigen test for 430pm on our last day (Friday). We received 5/6 test results (NEG) promptly. No records were found for my 15 year old until 20 min before our airport shuttle departure (Sat). Plan B was to obtain a test at the airport. Staff- service was excellent. Thank you Moises, Jose, Maximus, Galdino & many more. Hardworking and very pleasant.  They were extremely accommodating. We connected with our Reserve concierge through WhatsApp. We could text at any time to make plans or ask for drinks/snacks for our room bar fridge.  One of our rooms was in a party zone so they were moved to a different floor after banging and knocking on doors occurred after “quiet” hours. Gym- this would be less than ideal for the amount of people at the resort. Not enough gear or free weights. In pre covid times, I assume classes would occur in 2 of the fitness rooms ( spin, yoga?). Again, we masked to attend then removed the mask when exercising in a spot ( similar to Canadian rules). Food & beverage-Lots of margaritas. Buffet had many selections.We had great meals. Of course the 2 Mexican restaurants were our favorites. Beautiful resort. I would highly recommend a vacation to The Paradisus for families, couples, and groups. Please improve weight room.

Most Amazing Resort!

Initial thought while just driving into the resort was “WOW”. The staff is absolutely exceptional and during my 7 day stay, not once did any staff member show a bad attitude. Food is great and the habanero salsa is a must try. The pools are clean and water is fairly warm. The ocean view is something you can’t get tired of and I definitely recommend upgrading to it if you plan on visiting. I was worried about seaweed on the beach since I’ve heard that Cancun is notorious for it but the be [... read more]ach was surprisingly clean. Definitely would recommend Paradisus Cancun and I can’t wait to go back!

What we needed!

Before I described the resort; I'd like to say that we travel every year to all inclusive resorts that are rated 4.5 to 5 stars. We are an active couple in our low 50's. Before booking this resort, I read a lot of the reviews which I will address. We went to Paradisus Cancun Royal Service. The Royal Service is worth it. The arrival was fantastic and fast. We had someone assisting us as soon as we came out of the bus; very nice. The room was absolutely great with ocean views as soon as you step  [... read more]in. I do agree with the reviews about the very dimmed lighting in the bathroom; I literally brought my makeup by the patio door where the lighting was bright. Some reviews complained about the lack of English channels; this is totally incorrect, there were plenty of English channels. We had room cleaning service morning and night which was very nice. The Royal Service pool was great with good temperature water. Within RS, you have the La Palapa restaurant which is by the pool area with ocean views. It is absolutely delicious, we ate all our breakfasts there and a few lunches. There is one buffet and it is good; not the best I have seen but very good food. We tried all the restaurants; my favorite was Vento, Bana, Feugo. Mole was really good but we are not fans of traditional Mexican food. Our least favorite was Enzo. Blues Agave...we read the menu then walked out...not interested. In general, the food is excellent and the service is awesome and we never waited for anything. About the chairs and Bali beds; there are plenty of chairs and you have access to as many towals as you want. You are allowed 2 Bali beds for a 7 day vaca. By 11 o'clock, if there are empty, go see the pool manager and you should be able to get one. We were there for 10 days and I got one everyday. The beach is long on each side; you can walk for ever if you want. There are no entertainment around the pool at the RS. The staff is just great, they really make your vacation better. Kudos to Degner, the pool manager, Moises, Joel and Manuel around the pool. All and all, it is a great resort.

Another great stay at Paradisus Cancun!

Just returned from a one week stay, Feb 2-9th and were not disappointed. This our 3rd stay and the first time for our friends who we travelled with. They loved it and were impressed with how clean the resort is kept, the amazing staff, the beautiful lobby, location and the hotel in general. Everyone works so hard to make a favorable impression and it truly shows. A big shout out to some extra special people, David and Victor at the swim up pool bar who always took the time to chat and made sure [... read more] we had what we needed. Also Augustin who got people involved in the daily activities..even Finger Painting! 😁 The only thing we would like to see is a great Italian ala carte restaurant / wooden oven pizza. Maybe next time... 😉

Wonderful resort

Service is excellent. Staffs are very nice to talk to. Besides, this resort provides many restaurants offering a variety of delicious cuisines, from Mexican to Asian Fusion. Also abundant nice bars.

THE PARADISUS CANCUN NEEDS AIR CONDITIONING IN THE MAIN BUILDLING, VERY HOT!

No air circulation in the main building, they need fans to keep the air moving, no air-conditioning in the main building. The outdoor restaurant was so hot that you couldn't enjoy your dinner. 4 restaurants were closed for renovations, only 2 restaurants with air conditioning, the rooms were very warm, could no get the air conditioning to go any lower. Beautiful building and excellent service and food, but way too hot in the resort!

Paradisus Cancun

This was a nice hotel however it was way too large and complicated to get around. Pools were nice. Nice beach. They were under renovation so restaurant choices were not so good. They had a lot of stairs to use and not all had railings

Amazing resort

Hotel is very nice. Room is newly renovated. Most staffs are very friendly, some staffs are very passionate about their jobs while some others might need you to tip them well in order to provide services with smiles.
