Resorts in Cancún

Positiv:: Das Essen und der Service

Negativ:: Wir haben Ocean Front (Blick aufs Meer) gebucht. Wir haben aber nur Partial Ocean View bekommen. Ansonsten gibt es nichts schlechtes zu sagen.

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: That even though I received a confirmation email from kayak that my reservation was nowhere in their system. Makes me not want to use kayak anymore. I was upset by it.

Positiv:: Unparalleled experience. The food is good, the facilities are well maintained and the amenities are fantastic

Negativ:: This is the second time I've been- it was much more crowded this visit I guess it's a popular time to come but I felt a slight decline in service. Everyone is exceptionally friendly but a few requests were missed- still the service is far superior here compared to anywhere else

Positiv:: Super Service, das ist unvergleichlich. Eine sehr warme und einladende Atmosphäre

Positiv:: This resort has the best beach and pool service we've ever experienced.

Negativ:: The resort was hosting other large convention-type groups with some immature guests.

Positiv:: clean quiet location

Negativ:: Spa is not up to 5 star standards limited dining choices

Positiv:: Great location in front of crystal blue and white sandy beaches. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. They will over extend them selfs to you. The food is also fantastic. The hotel had two 5 diamond restaurants that will knock your taste buds. I highly recommend this hotel.

Negativ:: Although we stayed in a renovated room I think the hotel needs to be updated specially in the common areas like the area passed the lobby.

Positiv:: Excellent service… Staff was truly attentive, professional, and welcoming. Facilities are excellent and well-maintained… Subtle elegance. Food is the best I've experience in Cancun over the years… Fantino is outstanding! Beach is great… good waves too.

Negativ:: Some things, with which we'd expect The Ritz-Carlton to do better… Major item: The bed, while clearly of "high quality", caused both of us to have noticeable back aching. Medium item: Fantino is perhaps one of the best restaurants in Mexico, and it delivered quite nicely. However, we ordered Carpaccio for our appetizer, and it was never delivered and never acknowledged. Minor item: The staff consistently failed to refill our Perrier sparkling water, even though attending to the other items during our meals. It's as if the water bottle were invisible! Minor item: Although the Ritz-Carlton does very well overall to provide "silence and darkness" for a good night's sleep, the thermostat in the room was noticeable in clicking on & off every few minutes.

Positiv:: The front desk

Positiv:: the bell boys, valet, Wait staff are incredibly attentive and very polite. The rooms are very clean and spacious. Overall the hotel has a very luxurious feel.

Negativ:: The front lobby staff can be a bit nicer, more welcoming and less grumpy-looking especially when being asked a question.

Positiv:: Super Hotel, leckeres Essen, ausgezeichnete Lage. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Negativ:: Das Personal ist aufdringlich auf andere Produkte verkaufen

Positiv:: Das Essen war nicht gut, könnten einige Aktualisierungen vornehmen

Positiv:: Common areas, beach, friendliness of the staff, the room view, close to La Isla shopping mall

Negativ:: -

Positiv:: Nice grounds, although it looks likes its getting a little older. Staff was great, every single one of them Spa was great.

Negativ:: The food was bad. I kept on trying to give this place 2nd and 3rd chances to see if they had anything good. But I was constantly disappointed. It was edible, but far from good. The nail in the coffin is when we got a taco from the airport and it was better than all the food we had at this hotel. Room felt a little dirty, shower leaked, shower glass door had someone's name scratched into it.

Positiv:: The hotel is suppossed to ve o e of the best in Cancun, but it is a great disapointment

Positiv:: A great place, I met my kids there for some relaxing togetherness! The staff is friendly, helpful without being pushy. The place is clean, beautiful and laid back. People from all over the world to meet and enough food variety to keep you from getting bored.

Negativ:: This visit it wasn't too crowded but I've been there in the past where you have to stalk out your place at the pool. We went because we love the place and got a great deal through Kayak I couldn't afford it at regular price. I would love to get notification that Live Aqua wasn't crowded and had a deal going on - I'd be there again in a minute.

Positiv:: Attentive Staff, Always willing to take in special requests to make trip more enjoyable, beautiful property, the weather is PERFECT in January. Never seemed overly crowded, even with the weekend group there

Negativ:: Our airline cancelled our flight and we missed the first day of our trip. We called immediately after finding out but the hotel would not refund our money for that first day, even with proof of the cancellation of our flight. We had to eat that cost.

Positiv:: The perfect hotel - paradise.

Negativ:: Hotel guests start "reserving" lounge chairs by the pool around 7am by leaving towels there; then they don't come back til much later. This is to be expected I guess, not an issue with the hotel itself. Just good to be aware of before you go.

Positiv:: The pool is amazing and the swing bar and swim up bar are lovely features. The location on the beach is stunning and we never tired of the views across the infinity pool. The spa is very high spec and the therapists good. We would definitely go back and highly recommend Live Aqua Cancun.

Negativ:: The food was not always to the highest or consistent standard in all the restaurants compared to the luxurious style of the hotel. The pillows are uncomfortable. One of our rooms needed an upgrade in the bathroom.

Positiv:: The pools are amazing, the grounds well kept and the staff are all friendly.

Negativ:: The aromatherapy is too strong in some places. Painting going on in the main lobby the day we left - left me with a BIG headache. We had to check out of our room at noon. Planned to grab a quick lunch before leaving but nothing available between 12-1 except room service and a couple of places outside in the 100+ temps.

Positiv:: Freundlicher Aufenthalt all inclusive mit 24 Stunden Zimmerservice

Negativ:: Die Tatsache, dass man uns Aussicht aufs Meer sagte aber nicht garantierte ... die berechneten extra 30 % für Dienstleistungen mit Resort Punkten

Positiv:: Essen, Spa und Pool

Positiv:: Fantastic staff!! Great food and lots of entertainment...

Negativ:: Our privacy lights were broken, it sounded like a construction site all night just outside our door...

Positiv:: Pool snacks were very good, they also have some activities which are quite fun (pool foam party for example). Zen restaurant (Japanese/Asian) was very good, plus the service was always great.

Negativ:: In general terms it is a good hotel but expensive for what they actually offer, I wouldn't recommend it unless it was cheaper (for the same money you can go somewhere way better). The things I did´t like: - Hard Rock Hotels are no the same everywhere, we stayed at Panama Megapolis last year and was nicer, it had better rooms, facilities (eg: under water speaker in the pool) and service. - They host Weddings so you need to consider that large groups may be staying as well. In our case, the group staying was definitely NOT what I expected, besides being way too loud and quite drunk, they where rude, just consider that on the Wedding night some of the girls almost got into a fight with local hookers who where in the lobby bar (smash bar), after this, bar tenders kept on giving them alcohol which I think is unacceptable (toilets even ended up puked) (you need to consider that there were families with kids when this happened, plus, what are hookers doing in the lobby in the first place??).... Ok, we all wanna have fun, drink and laugh, but this isn't "college spring break"!! - Jetted pool is for "VIPs" only and not available for regular guests in the main pool area (the thing is that "VIPs" didn't use it much, so usually was available but "unreachable"). - It is a loud hotel, one night the Karaoke (held just by the pool) was on up until 2 am (my wife says it was until 4, but I fell asleep before she did xD). - In some places the service was not good, one night at smash bar it took me 15 minutes to get a dink (bar tenders where only looking for tips), next day I went down with all my 1 dollar bills and everything changed!!

Positiv:: This all inclusive hotel offers everything. From your type of pillow you want to sleep on, if you want aromatherapy in the room, 4 types of liquor and mixers in room, to several dining options available on site. You literally never have to leave the resort unless you want to explore. I thought that with unlimited alcohol included that it would be crawling with drunk people, but everyone was the right type of pleasantly buzzed or totally sober. No puking anywhere that I saw. The staff had exceptional service that I have not found anywhere else. While you don't have to leave the hotel if you don't want to, there are lots of tours and excursions that you probably should look into if you have never visited the area before, and I definitely recommend a night out to It can be loud, and if you like your sleep, I recommend a room with the lagoon view for a quieter atmosphere.

Negativ:: It can be loud, and if you like your sleep, I recommend a room with the lagoon view for a quieter atmosphere.

Positiv:: Alles war ausgezeichnet!! Ich nahm meinen Mann zu seinem 40. Geburtstag mit. Der Service war insgesamt perfekt. Die Leute sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Meer war wunderschön ... entspannend, Perfektion rundherum!!

Negativ:: Nichts!

Negativ:: Kein Shuttle Service

Positiv:: I like the facility

Negativ:: I didn't like the staff! I had paid for my stay through kayak arrived at the hotel late and staff didnt let me check in

Positiv:: The staff was excellent, very attentive and helpful and mostly bilingual. We were there in March and the weather was great, but the beach is shaded fairly early in the afternoon. We had to keep moving around the pool to stay in the sun. Luckily the resort was not full so it was not a problem. We did not eat at the buffets, but ordered off the menu and the food was very good.

Positiv:: Great beach although it gets shade starting at 3:00 pm. Friendly staff. Basilic restaurant amazing. Tea bags and coffee in the room are charged as if they were minibar items. You have to pay to use the gym and the spa, even if the room I stayed in cost me US$500 a night!

Positiv:: Location of hotel near town, Beauty of Hotel and grounds, cleanliness and maintenance of facilities

Negativ:: 1) Beach location was not the best. During February, the hotel itself blocked sun from pool and beach from around 8am to 11am and then again from around 4pm to 6pm. Beach and Pool in shadow of hotel. 2) Too many kids for what wants to be a luxurious hotel. 3) Make sure you use the room sign to declare you want privacy. Maids came in every day while we were sleeping or dressing despite our shouting - please don't come in now.

Positiv:: High quality luxury hotel with compact layout. Pools and beach about a minute walking from the main lobby area. Beach has little surf and is very swim-able. Bars and restaurants were all high quality and reasonably cheap. I took a mini suite which has a seating area between the sleeping area and the balcony. Perfect for lounging in the afternoon. Plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs with 5 minutes walk if you want to experience something outside the hotel.

Negativ:: Really nothing.

Positiv:: Everything about the experience was amazing. Pretty clear to me now why it's a 5 star rated hotel.

Negativ:: N / A

Positiv:: When you stay here you know why it's called the "Grand" Fiesta Americana Coral Beach... It's GRAND! This was our fourth time in Cancun, and second time at this hotel. Service, cleanliness, location - water and land, comfort, style and elegance, and food are the best!

Negativ:: The price is more than a lot of hotels in Cancun, and it's not All Inclusive So you'll pay for food and drink, but it's worth it!

Positiv:: The resort was clean, our room was spacious, the beach was beautiful and the food was delicious. We cannot wait for another visit.

Positiv:: It's right on the beach with plenty of pools and bars to kick it at. The staff is very professional, and > 90% are bilingual. There is even a water sports hut at the end of the beach where you can rent jet skis, parasailing, water jet packs, etc.

Negativ:: If you're going here in the off-season like we did, I would note that the back side of the hotel (where all the pools and beach are located) does NOT face the sun!! So it gets dark a little early for our taste. The sun went down behind the big hotel at like 3 PM each day. We started waking up at 8 AM to get the most out of our day once we overslept and found out the hard way.

Positiv:: The location of the resort was perfect. Very close to the shopping, supermarkets, restaurants, ferry to Isla Mujeres. The beach on the resort was also very beautiful. The resort itself was also incredibly nice. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I would definitely go back to this resort.

Negativ:: We had dinner at the Mexican restaurant in the resort one night; which is a buffet as opposed to a la carte ordering. The dinner was very expensive and "included drinks," however the available drink selection was limited to cheap options that I wouldn't order normally. We also ate dinner a little on the later side and it appeared that the food in the buffet was sitting around for a while before we showed up to eat. All in all, I recommend eating outside of the resort. You will get better food at lower prices.
