Great Resort

Loved the lazy river. Service was excellent. Food and drinks were mid. Juices were so wateres down?. Loved the ice cream bar! First room we got that was on the ground floor was not clean. Second room we were moved to was much better. Water parks were under maintenance when we were there, found out about a day before the trip, which sucked. Overall I would give the resort a 3 out of 5.

Very Clean Resort - Great Food

We enjoyed the resort, Would like to thank Nicolle Kirk for providing us with information and looking at our needs. we wanted and great gym with tennis court and a great beach. We got that. She have used Nicolle many times and was not disappointed. We always go to Nicolle for booking our vacations.

Wonderful vacation!

We just returned from Plant Hollywood. Nine of us travelled. Ages 1 to 61. It was the perfect resort. All of us had so much fun. There were tons of things to do. From activities to different swimming options to places to eat to relaxing, options for all of us. Each of us had a perfect room fit for our needs. Mine was on the ground floor and with mobility issues it was perfect for me. We can't wait to return. The children are already talking about it. The price was very reasonable as well.

7/10

We stayed at Planet Hollywood for 7 days in the adults only-section in March 2026. Overall, we would give this hotel a 7/10 rating. The facilities itself were very good- great pools, lazy river, a movie theatre (shows about 3 movies a night) was fun and a 5 minute walk from the beach (where they cleaned the seaweed on shore daily, unlike other hotels we saw). They had lots more stuff available, but those are the things we used. One thing I found interesting was they close the pools at 7pm- w [... read more]ould have loved a late night swim (kidding of course, I know there staff had a lot of clean up). Our room we'd give a 7/10. The bed itself was reasonably comfy, the sheets were razor thin (we requested an additional blanket and they provided), and the pillows were terrible. Shower pressure was also terrible. Our room was cleaned daily and our fridge was restocked with clean water, which was great. The food in general, I'd give an average 5/10. First off, my girlfriend and I both got food poisoning eating at the hotel. It only effected us for one day, but still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The all-you-can eat restaurant was not my thing, apart from the fruit (pineapple, papaya), which was amazing. Coffee was good, but be prepared to wait in line no matter the time of the day. The ice cream was also very good- caramel and cookies and cream were my favorite! We didn't love the Italian restaurant (Caccio e Pepe and Pizza were fine, but not spectacular). The adults only restaurants were much better- highly recommend making reservations here and eating breakfast here. I had a fantastic steak and seafood at one of them for dinner (just can't remember the name). The sushi was not my thing either, but the Hibachi was fun. Our chef was super engaging and its just a fun experience to do with the kids or your partner. Pool side- they have hot dogs, tacos, both hit the spot after a few and on a hot day. Make sure you book all your reservations as soon as you arrive- we had to book Hibachi a week out from when we got there (our last night). Overall, I wouldn't say the food overall is horrible and some of the people we spoke to said they quite enjoyed it. However, when I go on a trip, I would love to eat amazing local food (which I didn't really get, everything felt Americanized) or something I can't get at home, and I just didn't get that here. Food is subjective so just take this opinion with a grain of salt. I'd recommend bringing a few snacks for late night because the ones available were sooooo expensive. The staff in general were nice. I'd recommend bringing US dollars for tips, and tipping when you can. They try and push a time-share from time to time/the spa and the excursions, but I know they're just doing there job. Pool side entertainment was a lot of fun- gave you something to do while being in the water all day. In terms of excursions, I'd highly recommend Isla Mujreres. One of the most beautiful places I've been (South side of the island on the golf cart and snorkeling in the most beautiul water I've ever seen). Deep sea fishing would have been great if we caught anything, and the waves were horrendous, but I think we were unlucky. Someone we spoke with caught 2 sail fish and a tuna! Both of these can be booked through the resort, which I also highly recommend you do. Overall, first time at an all-inclusive, and was quite happy. If food isn't a big part of what you need in an all-inclusive, I'd recommend checking this place out given the price.

Great Resort

We had a great time at Planet Hollywood . Food was excellent at the Ala Carts, buffet was your typical resort Buffet. All the entertainment was good , pools clean & beautiful beach. Only negative was they need more umbrellas at the beach which really is an easy fix. The pool area could use more seating but not sure how they really could add more as the area is not very big around the adult pool. The room was clean & spacious but had a musty smell from the high humidity which they can’t control t [... read more]hat. Bed was comfortable & cleaned daily. We would return to this resort without hesitation.

Hotel planet hollywood

This is an older building. Many issues especially with smelly rooms smelling so damp that even bedding felt wet. The people that served were great. Overall we had a good time but would not return to this hotel

We had a great time!

Amazing hotel! The grounds and beach were beautiful. Many things to do for adults only, but also for families. Was great to have access to both sides when staying on adult only side. Food options were unlimited, and adult side food options were great. Highly recommended.

Not bad but not my scene

Travel: Flew with Sunwing/WS, no issues with leg room on flight. Did not check a bag so I did not have to wait for my bags to arrive. My friends came in with Air Canada and arrived at a different terminal and they took a private transfer on arrival. I took the included transfer with Sunwing and we didn’t leave the airport for 2.5 hours. My friends were at the hotel before I even left and then it was an hour to the hotel. I checked in around 4:30 and my room was ready on arrival. I was provided r [... read more]oom 14-106, a swim up with a king sized bed. Room: King sized bed with 4 pillows. Mini bar stocked with water, soda, and two Dos Equis. Lots of storage in the room, plus a safe and a steamer. Bathroom had two sinks, and a separated toilet stall and separate shower stall. Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, soap and body cream in bathroom. Hair dryer worked very well! No issues with hot water or water pressure. 4 towels, 2 hand towels and 3 face cloths on arrival. It was easy to set the AC and the fan.. having the AC set to a lower temperature and the fan going helped to keep the dampness at bay. Ground floor rooms can be a bit musty, but it was only uncomfortably damp/musty after a downpour one afternoon. Clients can request a dehumidifier, which can help. I did not request my room to be cleaned/made up as I was only there for 4 nights. Ordered room service one night off the late night menu, took 40 minutes to arrive. Pizza was so-so. Block 14 gets partial sun, 12 and 13 are shaded, and 15 and 16 are full sun. My friends rooms in block 15 had a warmer swim up pool and less musty of a smell. My swim up was definitely chilly, but I loved the private outdoor space and I also enjoyed the pool a few times. Cannot see ocean from room, and the buildings echo the noise from the pool so it’s not super relaxing. My room had a strange electrical panel that flashed a green light all night—occasionally the light would flash red. It was a bit annoying, but not enough to complain, though I did mention it at checkout. Having the swim up was honestly great—as an introvert who loves shade, it was a game changer for me. Next all inclusive we will be going the swim up route I think! Food: Adults scene gets two extra a la carte restaurants, Braza and Catch. They are also open for breakfast, as well as a la carte lunch. Food was generally ok to good, with a few items that really stood out. The chilaquiles at Braza for breakfast were good, as was the French toast. The Pico de Gallo, guac and chips at Catch for lunch were excellent. The Teppanyaki was the best a la carte dinner I had. I also ate at the Sushi (so so), Catch for dinner (lobster bisque was amazing, everything else was ok), the Steakhouse (good appetizers, but didn’t like the mains so much), the burger bar (when they made the veggie burger fresh, it was fine though it was a really long wait for food here), and the buffet (my least favourite, I did not enjoy the buffet at all—the buffet seemed especially small considering the number of guests that it serves). I would say the food was consistently fine—they were concerned about food allergies and asked every time we checked into a restaurant, and my Celiac friend was impressed with the care that they took. She was also provided an allergy card. Some of my friends did seem to have some issues with the food, and one got food poisoning or a noro-type bug that lasted 48 hours. Reservations for restaurants should be made early and can be requested through the app. Drinks: the wine at this resort was surprisingly fine. They had a decent merlot and cab sauv for reds, a nice chardonnay for whites (also a sauv blanc which I didn’t try), and the sparkling wine was nice and dry. I didn’t like the rose here, I found it too sweet. Mixed drinks seemed to be hit and miss and I found that the best mixed drinks were at the adults only lobby bar. They made a nice espresso martini there, and one night they made me a good Manhattan with Canadian Club ? the drinks at the family side were less consistent (the bars were much busier there), and they made my Manhattan with Jack Daniels (a travesty lol). They also made me a really nice non-alcoholic passionfruit slush at the beach bar (Marco at the beach bar was a delight). Entertainment and activities: the evening shows were alright (that we went to), daytime activities also alright. The disco here was actually pretty good. Most of the entertainment was on the family side—it could be hard to tell what the show was and when, and sometimes the listed entertainment and app didn’t match what was happening. Some of the shows were more popular than others (ie. The folklore show was my favourite, but barely had anyone watching, whereas the Michael Jackson show was packed to the brim). The lazy river was popular and there were a lot of sports to play on the family side. You could also pay extra for activities like the Flow Rider and that seemed popular. The gym was well received by my friends, and they attended a lot of fitness classes. There were aqua aerobics, games, Spanish classes, trivia, and dance lessons at the adults only pool. The pool: I didn’t go in the main pool at all because I had the swim up. We got chairs there one day (chair game is rampant at this hotel! I got up at 6am on my last day for my transfer, and people were down at the pool putting stuff on loungers). The water was pretty cold as they had just had two weeks of unseasonably cold temperatures. Poolside service was quick and friendly, lots and lots of towels to be had (no card or exchange system, but take what you want/need), and there’s a taco truck at the adults only pool which looked good but didn’t have a tonne of vegetarian options. The beach: the sand here is really nice and soft, just a bit of rocks going in. The water is beautiful and turquoise with fairly large waves and it’s a bit rough, especially when windy. Great walking beach! I didn’t see anything on the beach that made me concerned (I read reviews of manatee poop, crocodiles, jellyfish, etc.). Getting loungers were easy, getting loungers with an umbrella were not as easy but they will help you find one if you don’t get down early. Beachside service will bring you drinks, and the guys at the beach bar are also great. No issues with seaweed, there was a bit each day but really barely noticeable. The staff: every staff member I interacted with was lovely. Special shout out to Marco at the beach bar, as well as Fernando and Moises at Catch and Braza. Overall impression: this resort was a solid 4 star—I would not sell it as a true adults only given how much of the amenities are on the family side, and the vibe wasn’t super relaxing IMO. However would be a good option for multi-generational travel, and there doesn’t seem to be a huge difference in price between the sections. Internet worked oddly sometimes, WIFI was best near the lobby though you could still get it at the beach. It reminded me a lot of the new build Riu and Riu Palaces (some things better and some things not done as well). Not having the Star Class upgrade didn’t seem to negatively impact our experience, though they do have a preferred location for rooms and some of their swim ups are actually oceanfront, which I think would vastly improve the swim up experience. This resort is quite big! I easily did 10,000 steps a day just walking around the property. I would not repeat as the property is not my usual vacation style (also I almost never repeat resorts since there’s so much to try!), though I would love to come back to Costa Mujeres, which I think is the best of both worlds (less seaweed than Riviera Maya, not as commercialized as Cancun proper).

Wonderful Vacation !!

Clean, wide spread out resort. We stayed in a Star Class room which I loved as we had access to the Star Class beach (gorgeous and loved the beach gentleman that brought us drinks all the time lol), bars and restaurants. As 2 adults travelling I would recommend as there are not as many kids around on the beach. Restaurants were fabulous (Indian was our favorite), rooms were clean and have been maintained considering the turn over. Everything was fabulous.They put a lot of effort into a Superbowl [... read more] party!! Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

WELL APPOINTED PROPERTY

WE LOVED OUR STAY AT PLANET HOLLYWOOD. IT WAS CLEAN AND WELL LAID OUT. LOTS OF RESTAURANT CHOICES WE AVAILABLE TO US. WE STAYED ON THE ADULT SCENE SIDE AND WE COULDNT BE HAPPIER WITH OUR SWIM OUT AND KING ROOM. THE ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAD, AND IT WAS OUR FAULT FOR NOT RESEARCHING THE VENUE A BIT MORE, WAS THE LOUD ENTERTAINMENT THAT WAS HAPPNED EVERY EVENING UNTIL 11PM AND AT THE POOLS FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE DAY. OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND PLANET HOLLYWOOD

Disappointed

Star class was not worth it, you didn’t actually get any benefits . Reservations were easier to get without star class . Room was dirty sheets had feces took them all off and asked for new ones and they put back the ones with feces. We asked for no maid service while we were there . The mjnibar was never stocked. Shuttle to airport didn’t exist cost us $300 us both ways .Lived Tripcentral up until this trip feel like we were scammed going to stick to air Canada vacations

Not good resort

Public area was good, food was ok, but service was poor as we reached hotel at 10pm all the restaurants were closed and and rooms was even pathetic - Not cleaned at our arrival, coffee machine amd dryer was not working, closets were broken even after compliant nothing happened.

Awesome Place

This is a lovely resort ..food was great , and the hotel is clean with really friendly staff. The grounds are well kept and tidy. Rooms were spacious and well supplied.There are also so many places to see beyond the resort and it's easy to book tours from the lobby area.

NOT as advertised. This is not an Adults only resort

The first concern is we paid for checked luggage to Cancun and again paid for the same checked bags back to Toronto which we were surprised to be required to pay because we already paid it once. However, the baggage fee back to Toronto was in USD and there were taxes on each bag. Luggage to Cancun from Toronto was in CAD and taxes included. Our most significant and important concern is of the false advertising of this resort on your website. It is most definitely NOT adults only and we paid  [... read more]more for ONE adults only pool; (basically) ONE bar; and ONE adults only restaurant and another with a dress code that did not allow bathing suits/cover ups during lunch service. We were left with little choice but to visit the buffet for lunch where some families were seated in the “adults only” section anyway. All the à la carte restaurants that required reservations were open to families. It was very frustrating to enjoy quiet time and peace and quiet our whole vacation. And we paid extra to have an “adults only” experience. When in fact, we did get much less services and experiences as compared to the families, yet we paid $200-300 more per person. The families had much more freedom and variety to the resort. There were even instances of families (evident by their purple bracelets) using the adults only pool and taking pool chairs away from those of us who paid extra for this one and only enjoyable amenity. It was always extremely hard to get pool chairs (because there were already too few), and we had to find a spot there every afternoon. Our swim-up room was in shade from 12:30 pm and on (also a big disappointment for us when we were promised significant sun at that room by the front desk when we checked in AND paid MORE for this upgrade.) Perhaps if we weren’t sent to the wrong lobby when we arrived, the employee at Adult Scene check-in could have been clearer on our requirements for the room/sun and we would have received our welcome drink; (we did not receive our welcome drink, by the way.) I would also like to make known of the issue we had upon departure from Cancun which occurred on the airplane. We taxied to the runway and when about to take off we were informed of an issue at the front of the plane. We found out later that there was a very intoxicated woman with her family and children and she had vomited everywhere. We returned back to our gate and she refused to get off the plane and after an hour and-a-half the flight crew, Border patrol and Mexican Federales eventually removed her from the plane. I do not know what can be done about this inconvenience, but I do hope that there is some form of monetary fine for this family. They were quite an unruly family and in fact, I heard many complaints from other passengers about them regarding interactions and behaviour of the children witnessed at the airport. I did witness the intoxicated woman hurriedly purchasing a beer while I was waiting in line to board (and we were very near the end of the line to board.) In any regards, we are happy to be home and the only good thing about our experience was the weather.

Just ok, average

I watched and read many reviews ahead of going on this trip, but I always take them with a grain of salt. I have spent time at 5 star resorts and 3 star resorts, and some of the complaints can be off from my experience. 1. Check in process- we arrived at around 11 and check in was 3 pm. It was a long day and had I realized I may have opted for a later flight. We got bracelets and could enjoy the resort while we waited for the room to be ready. It was our first time there and there wasn't anyo [... read more]ne to show us a basic tour around, so we wandered until one of the concierge helped us about. Went back at 3 to find that the room was still not ready. It was closer to 4 before we got to the room. 2. Room - The room was clean and spacious. I didn't find it any more humid or musty in comparison to any other resorts 0that I have been to in the Caribbean at this time of year. (I always travel the first week of October) We didn't bother with a dehumidifier. We were in building 16 on the 4th floor. For a resort that is a 5 star rating, I was surprised that the closet and cupboards were looking shambles, doors were not closing properly etc. One big note is the shower had no hot water in the afternoons, with the exception of one day. Although, one sink would only put out boiling water at all times of day (so it wasn't an issue of no hot water at all, just none in the shower). The mirror lights were cool, but one didn't work. Loved that there were 2 sink stations! 3. Room service- what service?? We ordered room service the second day as it was rainy and didn't feel like leaving the room. I have never used room service before so was excited to try it. I was around 1:30 pm and after we ordered it said it would be about 1 hour, which I kind of expected as it was rainy and many may have had the same thought! After a few mins, the app said it would be an additional 40 minutes. After 2 hours and nothing showing up, I messaged the room service to see what was happening and heard nothing back. 3 hours later, we canceled it as our reservation for dinner was almost ready. Disappointing for a 5 star place. 4. The food/drinks - buffet was just ok. The need a better system for keeping food hot, as most things that were pre-made were barely warm. The fish station for fresh fish, calamari, prawns and scallops was delicious, but was always a long wait (very popular), same for the stir fry station. The other foods offered were ok, nothing to write home about, and fairly flavorless. I was surprised at the size of the buffet considering the size of the resort, seemed small to me. We ate at The Catch (seafood), Brazil (Brazilian), Satra (Indian), Gusta (Italian) and the Steakhouse. The Indian had the best flavor, fairly spicy if you have a delicate palate. The Brazilian was my favorite overall. Again with the temperature of the food, most was just barely warm. Guy's Burger joint was good, burgers were enjoyable, fries were cold unless the were right out if the fryer. Gusta had a pizza window and that fresh pizza was amazing! I found the service quality a hit and miss at all restaurants. Food and service left me feeling disappointed overall. No, I didn't starve by any means, it just was lacking for a 5 star resort. I didn't experience any unusual gastric issues while there (I have some IBS issues on the regular back home, so anything I experienced here was my normal). The drinks were fine, not a huge drinker anyway, but I didn't find them watered down much in my opinion. 5. Chair game- we didn't have a single issue with this the whole week. There were chairs with umbrellas at the pool and beach all week, some days we were down there around 9 and a few closer to noon. They may not have been right at the front of things, but I was not rising at 6 am for anything this week to get front row. 6. Pools/lazy river- The pools were clean and I didn't find it too crowded, although we are more beach people. The Lazy river was a fun addition to the day. Sometimes it was busier than others, but there seemed to be floats available (we brought our own though). 7. The beach- this is one of my big things when traveling. I want a beautiful beach! The beach itself is absolutely beautiful. Which was quickly disappointing after being in the water and seeing actual chunks of POOP ? floating all around us. Let me preemptively state that I know this is NOT the hotels fault. This happened all but the last 2 days we spent at the beach. There were several stories as to what kind of poo it was (turtles, manatees, human waste from tour boats dumping at sea), but the fact that I had to dodge literal chunks of feces at all was absolutely disgusting. Many of the return guests and have had this same experience along this stretch of beach. I have never had this experience anywhere else in Mexico or other Caribbean destinations. This alone is a reason that I would never be back to that particular area of Mexico. It is a shame as that particular beach itself is stunning. It makes me wonder if the reports of people being sick at the resort and for weeks after leaving are related ? I can say I would not be back to this resort. Nothing of the above ruined my whole vacation, by any means, but the hotel overall was lacking any sort of "it factor" for me, and the logs of poo in the ocean was the thing that cinched that decision.

Beautiful resort

The hotel eas beautiful. Loved the attention to detail everywhere keeping with the Hollywood theme. Huge variety of restaurants. Nice gym. Edgar was a good trainer. Lots of variety to choose from for dining. Friendly staff. The Italian restaurant offered rhe best service, followed by the steakhouse. Lively nightclub. Everything under one roof

Nice

Unfortunately there was not much shade or seats in the adult pool area. Restaurants were nice, but you needed to prebook 2 days in advance, some restaurants you couldn’t get a reservation. Having a family section and adults only section was very nice. Staff were very courteous and helpful and most wait staff went out of their way to make your visit memorable.

Nice resort

General review: Good value for money Pros - Food is good with lots of choices, beach is beautiful with comfy lounge chairs, lots of entertainment from noon until late Cons- Service in general is poor. There are a few stand outs but 7/10 aren't great It's a very long ways from the beach to the nearest bathroom There isn't a very good adult only bar for happy hour or evening. The lobby bar looks like a hospital waiting room. General - the family side is super super busy so this appea [... read more]ls to partiers and families The concierges are annoying and always trying to sell sell sell Dont do the 3 hour breakfast it's a trap and they say it's half an hour Star class - we didn't do it but the star class room was almost always empty and we had no problem booking dinners on the app 3 days in advance ( prebooked our room choice so prebooked our dinners before arrival ) Any issues with the room were handled promptly through the app All in all it's good value for the money. We wouldn't return because we prefer smaller because at smaller we find better service but for people that like larger and more to do it's perfect

Planet Hollywood adult scene

Stayed 13th to 20th April 2025, the resort is located 45+ minutes from the airport in an undeveloped area. Check in went well and the room was large and clean, but damp and musty so we requested a dehumidifier which took 2 days to arrive.The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a lack of deck chairs and shade so the towel game was in full swing every morning. The restaurants were nice and the food great although the booking with the app was hit or miss and when a restaurant seemed fully boo [... read more]ked you could walk by the same restaurant and it was half empty. The entertainment was top notch. The beach was lovely.
