First trip to Cancun...I got this hotel through hotwire didn't want to stay in the Tourist trap Hotel/Resort zone which is a total rip off..This hotel was in downtown Cancun , the MEDIA & lot people fall for them faux rumors on how dangerous it is outside the resort area... That's just propaganda to keep travelers in the polished over priced Resort Zone. What also impressed me was the access to so many different restaurants in the area , don't worry if you don't speak Spanish not many speak English but you will not have problem getting what you need. The only complaint I have about the hotel is the bed was not soft enough for me I'm not fan of firm matereses . ALSO BOOK THIS HOTEL DIRECTLY do not use hotwire, orbitz , Hotels.com or any American third party vendors because the room is like double the rate when in Pesos it's half. I will be coming to various cities in Mexico in the future I will direct book my hotel from now on...I came here during Christmas so it was the busy season but we got great deal & discounts at the travel world booth next door at the grocery store , you'll not get that type of deals in the resort zone...Overall my stay here was pleasant and the staff was really nice. read more
