    One of my top favorite places to stay. Service is wonderful, staff so accommodating. We never want to leave the property, everything is there. The rooms are beautiful, butler (we were traveling with a dog and he made sure he was good too!) is so friendly and amazing, restaurants are delicious, pools + swim up bar, beach ... amazing spa. Dog friendly! Not so much at the restaurants and beach, but your friendly butler will check on your four legged friend for you while you are out :) Another great perk - it is less than a 10 min drive to the airport. Nizuc is an absolute MUST!

    There is no doubt this hotel is beautiful. From the moment you enter it strikes as a very exclusive designer resort. Rooms are huge and very comfortable. Bedding and linens are one of bests I've ever had. Bathroom and shower just amazing. There are nice toiletries and unlimited supply of Fiji water. The hotel is pristinely clean and everything looks newly polished. Very impressive amenities. Unfortunately that is where my compliments end. We had a room on the bottom floor facing the jungle as it was the only one left with double beds. It was so dark in the room that we needed to have light on at all times. The jungle was a breeding ground for mosquitos. Which is to be expected in tropics so no complains there. Would definitely recommend ocean view. The service was extremely condescending. From the moment we checked in, always felt as though we were not good enough. Although the guys who drive the golf carts are extremely sweet. It's more of front desk staff that were rude. If you want to sit at the beach, good luck! People wake up at 6 in the morning to reserve an unlimited amount of beds. No matter how early we came, we could never get beds together, if at all. There is an adult beach, but it was equally as packed. The beach was also not what one would expect to find in Cancun. It's on the bay side and doesn't offer that gorgeous blue water you get on the rest of the strip. Food, where do I begin?! Overpriced yes, which would have been ok if it was actually good! Except it's not. $10 for a bottle of sparkling water at the beach. At breakfast, unless you opt for a buffet, expect to wait a ridiculous amount of time for food. Over one hour for toast! Another example is the dinner we had for NYE at La Romana restaurant. We paid $1850 for 7 adults and 1 kid for food which I can only describe as inedible at times. We informed our waiters and asked to speak to the chef, this was not granted. Only to be charged for the meal twice and having wasted an hour trying to reconcile with front desk. I will say that upon speaking to the food and service manager the next day, they did refund the food portion of our bill which was nice. Overall, I would absolutely not recommend Nizuc to anyone. It's just not worth it. And I really do hope the management reads some of the more realistic reviews and addresses the issues.

    The spa speaks for itself and the location is right out of a destination wedding magazine! Nizuc spa will not disappoint anyone! Shout out to our Spa host Jennifer who walked us through the whole experience and was so attentive to our needs! The cold/hot therapeutic stages before our massages was exactly what we needed, after a first night of alcoholic debauchery the night before. Seriously, we rolled out the plane and into an epic, albeit, hazy night of partying! What happens in Cancun, stays in Cancun for sure!!! Jeanette was a wonderful massage therapist, and had the skills to put my body in a deep state of relaxation and my mind in a semi-coma! She customized the essential oils she used to my preference and was very attuned to what my body needed. Being a former massage therapist myself, this is what sets a true therapist from the rest, a true gift of healing hands and the connectedness of the senses with the client and the body.

    When you think of Cancun, you probably think of Spring Break, foam parties, drunk idiots, Coco Bongo... yes I have experience from my younger days. Nizuc is the opposite of all of that in the best way. Luxurious, serene, high end, private, and the perfect get away. The pool is gorgeous - they bring fresh fruit, ice cream, and other goodies poolside all the time. Ordering lunch by the pool is a must. Rooms are big with gorgeous views. Sunsets are to die for. The breakfast is a WOW. Unreal - I judge a hotel by how good their breakfast is, and this one is one of the best. The spa - A MUST. Such an easy trip from NYC that it's worth a repeat. Gracias Nizuc!

    Fantastic resort. Very pricey for MEXICO! Drinks weren't horribly priced, compared to the Ritz. The ceviche was fantastic! Octopus could have been cooked better but still tasty. Rooms are huge. Staff is absolutely fantastic!

    Don't get a Mani pedi at the Nizuc Spa. The nail tech is not good, and the price is outrageous.
    Monica D.

    This place is really a joke. I think the resort is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here (still currently at the resort), however I scheduled a Mani pedi at the spa for the day of my arrival to get pampered before hitting the beach. The spa is horrible quality for an outrageous price. I definitely do not mind (and actually enjoy) paying a premium price for premium quality, but be assured you will not be getting a quality Mani pedi from this spa, but you will definitely pay at least $270 USD for your crappy nail job. At least you can enjoy champagne and chocolate while the severely untalented nail tech butchers your nails. (I will attach a photo of the end result, but also she cut my cuticles and I was actually bleeding during the session as well, obviously not in the photo)

    Hotel staff surprised us!

    Absolutely loved this place! Stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it. Pros: Service: they nailed it! Throughout the resort, everyone's really friendly and always greeting you. Food: Portions on the small side but delicious. All the restaurants are worth a try and the poolside/beach food were just as good (craving that ceviche as I type this). Drinks: Good selection (the tequila tasting in the cigar room is worth a try) Activities: Snorkeling, paddle boarding, jet ski and chilling Rooms: Excellent size with butler service. Room service was just as good as ordering from the restaurant. Cons: -Can't complain much. If I'm being picky, the cost of a bottle of water is a little extreme ($10 for 750mL)...but to be fair, they bring a bottle to your room every morning. -The beach gets some overgrowth but they clean it every morning.

    Nizuc is Cancun's #1 resort hotel. Located near the airport at the south end of the beach about a mile away from the main hotel strip. You get sun all day because of where the hotel is located. It has a private white sand beach on a shallow bay that is perfect for snorkeling or SUP. Thank goodness it is not an all inclusive which makes Nizuc special. The service is 5-stars: hostesses, butler, bartenders, housekeeping, and management. All my expectations were met and often exceeded. Nizuc has a beautiful spa that offers massages and body treatments. Also, yoga classes are available and a gym is located at the spa. There are seven restaurants that offer different cuisines from Italian, Pan Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean, steak and seafood. During breakfast at Casa De La Playa you can order from the menu or indulge in it's extravagant buffet of world-wide cuisines. The food is incredibly delicious and made with quality ingredients. Nizuc is a quiet paradise for guests who are looking to relax and enjoy a premium beach resort. It is not for loud, uncouth people who are thrill seekers in need of entertainment and adventure.

    First night of VACA at Nizuc!

    This is my 4th stay at this resort. We've been here just as a couple, twice with the full fam and once with our toddler. This is a zen, lux spa resort with exceptional service. Not all-inclusive, so there aren't a bunch of stumbling drunk people, which is a huge plus. Wonderful gym, delicious food, beautiful rooms, clean beach, heated swimming pools. They have a free kids club for children 4 to 12. This place is 5 star all the time. Love this place.

    If you visit this place it is easy to see why we need closed borders. It is nicer than ANY hotel…read moreI've ever been to. And what used to be "the world's largest telephone booth" would dominate ANY hotel in the USA. The people are overly friendly as long as you are not doing shady things. And with billboards offering services directly to your room and a hospital system where you only go if you're sick. The "grey area" is a pretty loose term. The entire hotel is illuminated with L.E.D.'s. The space is immaculate. It was 1/4 mile from the room to the lobby. The ballrooms and convention spaces are like a stadium. (Indoors or outdoors). The public bus arrives every (2) minutes and are often full. It is approximately .50 US to go 30 miles downtown. Just looking at the creative ideas a child could write a book . "This ain't Tijuana". The malls and beaches are protected by federal soldiers and the streets have checkpoints every mile. They obtain your information and destination. If something is off a militia is on alert. In NOLA people go missing all the time. They get discovered weeks later. Would never happen in Mexico . A drunk guy might get out the box, but it is very controlled. These citizens are: smart, efficient, implemented, hard working, drive excellent, fast, diligent, and gracious. It's like walking through a museum. Being from a popular tourist town known for food, this place is VERY advanced. Instead of lounging and hiding these citizens WORK to pass the time. If you need anything just ask a bartender. "Tip and pay, you'll be OK!" LOOK at the photos!

    Wonderful hotel! We stayed twice, three years apart and both times were fantastic!…read moreWe came here when my fiancé and I first started dating then again for our anniversary. Every single person that works at this property is out of this world! Kind, helpful and always going above and beyond to make things memorable! There's always a little bit of construction because they're renovating, so plan accordingly by calling with them to make sure the areas you want open, are open. The new speakeasy is super cute. We visited there one evening and have the best time and service! This isn't the same restaurant where you go to breakfast but at night is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Everything was fantastic but all the food on the property is really great! We especially loved to order lunch by the pool. All the cocktails are fantastic, even poolside! Rooms are standard JW with some of them recently updated with the others on their way to being updated. Yes, there is a sort of a musty smell in the air, but that's in most hotels. It's a very hard to keep those highly humid rooms from smelling a little musty. You just have to get over it and enjoy the time outside the room. Pools are super cute and the beach area is nice. There is an adult pool that is open during the day but wish it was open later! Lots of places in walking distance if you decide to venture out of the property but why would you need to! Easy drive from the airport and to the downtown or for departure to Isla Mujeres. We did not go to the island this time but last time we booked everything through the hotel and they made it super easy.

    Where do I even start?! We had the BEST time at The Westin Cancún! This was one of those vacations…read morewhere you leave already talking about when you can come back -- and luckily for us, we're already planning to return at the end of September! What made this trip so special wasn't just the beautiful resort, the food, the drinks, or the activities -- it was the PEOPLE. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay fun, welcoming, and memorable. We participated in SO many activities during our stay. We rode the FlowRider several times, played water games, did pool workouts, made brackets, enjoyed the themed dinners, spent time at the sports bar, ate A LOT of food, had plenty of drinks, and basically said YES to everything fun happening around the resort. The Fun Team was absolutely AMAZING! Oscar was our FlowRider instructor and was fantastic! We had so much fun that we went back multiple times. He was encouraging, patient, and made the experience so much fun. Guillermo was awesome with the pool exercises and brought such great energy to the activities. Claudia and Anna Banana were also incredible and helped make the activities so much fun. They brought personality, energy, and so many laughs to our days. And then there were all of the people who took care of us throughout the resort: Fernando -- Bartender Manuel -- Bartender -- seriously, an AMAZING bartender! Fernando -- Bartender Vicente -- Bartender Louis -- Food Operations Raphael -- Front of House Staff Wilbert "Willy" -- Sports Bar Waiter Selso "Seltzer" -- Steak & Win Server Jesus -- Sports Bar Chef Felipe -- Sports Bar Manager Maria -- Massage Therapist & Spa Staff Every one of them deserves a shoutout because they each added something special to our vacation. And I have to mention housekeeping, because our room was absolutely spotless and clean! Anytime we needed our room cleaned, the staff was on it. We never had to worry about coming back to a messy room, and that made such a difference during our stay. It was clear that the entire resort takes cleanliness seriously. The themed dinners were one of our favorite things, and we loved having so many different activities available. We never felt bored because there was always something going on -- but if we wanted to just relax by the pool, we could do that too. The sports bar was another favorite, and Willy, Jesus, and Felipe made our time there even better. The food and drinks were great, and the service was wonderful. And the spa! Maria was amazing, and the entire spa staff made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Honestly, what impressed us most was how many employees remembered us, interacted with us, and made us feel like more than just another guest. Those little interactions are what you remember when you get home. The Westin Cancún has an INCREDIBLE team. Please recognize these employees because they truly made our vacation what it was. We came to Cancún to relax, have fun, eat good food, drink good drinks, and make memories -- and we did ALL of that. Now we're already counting down to the end of September! Thank you, Westin Cancún, for such an amazing stay. We can't wait to come back and hopefully see all of these wonderful people again! 10/10 vacation. 10/10 staff. Spotless rooms. Amazing activities. Great food. And 100% coming back!

    First time at this property and I enjoyed my stay, although a few things could have been better…read more The location is at the start of the hotel zone and always from the hussle and bustle of the main area. Pros and cons to this. Pros - not as busy, plenty of seating/beach chairs, quiet resort, easy access to airport and if going out of the hotel zone, large spacious rooms (I had two queens beds with ample space), in room fridge, friendly staff Cons - limited walkable activities (shopping, food, entertainment), older property, only 2 on property restaurants open in the evening limiting dimmed options, communication with guest services is via phone, had to checkout at the front desk no folio delivery to room or app checkout, more seaweed on beach than others (property didn't address until my departure date), pools were super warm like bath water so not refreshing, not enough toiletries in room Check-in process was quick as I arrived early around 11am and was shocked I got access to the room. This definitely was unexpected. Room was huge and had a beautiful ocean view. The window was a bit janky however I was able to get it opened to feel and smell the ocean air. You could tell the property was dated just in the finished and wear on the room. Lighting also was challenging due to the size at night. While on property felt safe and relaxing as there were other guests but no one was on top of one another. Got to try out breakfast (decent, the made to order omelette and eggs were great) there were some rotating items as well. Oatmeal was a different consistency each day soooo not sure whose doing that. Service was hit and miss. First day seat on own and took about 10 before someone asked about coffee. Second day got sat and service right away. Third day sat self and service right away. Their market -Palmer did not have sandwiches nor real food sooo that was a bit disappointing. Snacks, beverages and a few swim essentials were available. I did not have housekeeping service so I can't speak on that. The room was clean however and ample towels. The shower shampoo/conditioner/body wash were the big bottles and smells amazing. The shower was pretty small and turning around hitting the cold was would def wake you up. Shower pressure was amazing and controlling the temps tire once you got the mix right was good. The hot handle got super hot, had to use a wet washcloth to turn off. Not sure how that's not a safety hazard I really enjoyed the 'fake' sky lights in the bathroom gave a nice touch so it wasn't too dark. Property overall was in good condition and you could see the wear on the outside due to the climate. Overall nothing bad at the property but def needs some investment to improve the condition.

During that time, the resort does repairs and maintenance to prepare for the high season, so expect some construction and movement around the property. Despite that, Club Solaris Cancun was one of the top experiences of my life! It's a wonderful place to stay. What it may lack in "luxury," it more than makes up for in service -- truly the best service and the kindest people. Because of my friend's membership level, I stayed in the Club Solaris members area, but honestly, the great service is consistent throughout the resort. The staff remembers guests by name, and I saw many returning members warmly hugging the employees they've known from past visits. You can feel the genuine care and connection. The rooms are a great size, each with a coffee maker and refrigerator. I had a room to myself, and it was perfect. As a member, they personally walk you through daily activities, help make dinner reservations, and even arrange excursions for you. If you're not a member, the concierge and guest services office are always available to assist. A special mention goes to Omar in the members' office -- he's wonderful. Breakfast I started each morning with breakfast in the members' area, which offered a fantastic assortment of food. My personal favorites were the made-to-order omelets and the fresh, sushi-style salmon and ahi tuna. Coffee and mimosas flowed freely, and smoothies were available upon request. Special shoutouts at breakfast: * Tomas - Always served with a smile and even brought me bacon, though it wasn't out yet. * Julian - Warm, friendly, and always great conversation and service. * Roman - Makes a perfect omelet every time, smiling as he works his magic on the grill. (Tip: Ask for a smoothie -- they'll make it fresh for you!) Pool Time Spending time at the pool is a must! Lunch by the pool includes standard fare -- pizza, chicken nuggets, nachos, fries, hamburgers, poke bowls, California rolls, mac and cheese -- it's casual but satisfying. Drinks tip: Head to the adult pool for branded liquor. Otherwise, they typically use well or house brands unless you ask. Special thanks to Marrya, who worked tirelessly serving everyone around the pool by herself -- she's amazing! Throughout the day, there are plenty of fun activities like bingo, water Zumba, and flip-the-cup. Maxine, the pool host, keeps the energy up and everyone smiling. (Pro tip: Bring your own cup, thermos, or Stanley tumbler -- they'll fill it with ice and water for free.) There are three pools and three hot tubs, and the ocean views are incredible -- just steps away from the beach! Spa! Small but clean. Ask for Bonita. She was great. Dinner Dinner reservations are a must. The best restaurant, hands down, is Marco Polo. A big thank you to Alex, Ivan, and Ricky for their wonderful dinner service! Nightlife The resort offers nightly entertainment like singers and live shows. They're nice, but if you're looking for a livelier nightlife, you may want to head into town. There's also an MVP Sports Bar, which is a great spot to hang out -- it has a pool table, three TVs, music, and an air hockey table. A huge thanks to Javier for his excellent service and patience with our card games! Highly recommend the member experience!

    Overall, this place is gorgeous. I'll start with the things I love:…read more My condo had a balcony directly overlooking the beach, pools, and restaurant. It makes for a beautiful sunrise. The building's architecture is traditional, unique to the region, and stunning (especially in photos). The restaurant has good food, although I wish they had more traditional Mexican dishes and fewer American options. My favorite options were their steamed fish plates (especially the garlic fish) and for breakfast: chillquilles or enchiladas. The cabanas on the beach are my FAVORITE, but they also have them by the immaculately kept pool. The distance to the northern hotel zone (with all of the partying, flea market, etc.) is only about a 20 minute taxi or uber ride. And the BEST part about it: they are very into the turtle conservation movement. Security is trained to handle and protect the baby turtles during the conservation season. I am so thankful for all of the turtles that they catch and release. It greatly helps the turtle population. Now for the sole reason I will never be back: Overzealous security guards Rather than feeling safe, I felt targeted. I took all of the proper precautions with my Airbnb host (confirming QR codes and check in times, etc.) and still, security treated us like criminals when we arrived. They actually boxed my husband into his vehicle and wouldn't let him out because the information about our trip had not been properly communicated by the Airbnb manager. Many of these units are rentals, so there must be a better process for this. The gaps in communication make me feel less safe and instead, more targeted. I was here for nine days total, spending more than $1K USD, and still got treated this way. This is in addition to money I spent at the restaurant each day. Security made me feel unwelcome rather than safe. Will never be back because of it.

    We had to leave due to unsafe environment. They hosted a guest for over two weeks whom was…read moreproblematic and didn't address issue. I requested refund for the last two days and they have not cooperated. They knew of my daughter and I being followed to our room by the troublesome guest and yet they turned a blind eye and are ignoring requests from Priceline and myself for Refund. They do not care for your safety don't stay there.

    As a disclaimer, I would like to start by saying that I did book the Viento Suite. I don't know if…read morethat is the reason we received the level of hospitality and service that we did, but I'm hoping that guests staying in standard rooms received the same spectacular experience! Due to having a suite, we had butlers Romero and Isaías, and they were both AMAZING. They were extremely attentive, and whatever we needed was never an issue. If we asked for something, it was done quickly and without hesitation. You honestly couldn't ask for better service. We also had access to the Aqua Club, which was open from 7 AM-10 PM and offered premium liquor along with light snacks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The waiters there--Daniel, Guillermo, and Eduardo--were great! They were even willing to make us our favorite shots that they had never heard of (blowjobs... Google it ), but they made them anyway! The lounge itself is super relaxing, with spectacular ocean views from the 5th floor. Now, onto the part we ALL care about the most: THE FOOD! There are several restaurants on the property to choose from, but our absolute favorite was Hidden Garden, which is Asian-inspired and run by Chef Mario. Everything we ordered was spectacular! Chef Mario even came out to our table, greeted us personally, and provided us with a menu curated by him--which I'm assuming was because it was my birthday... lol. They also have one paid restaurant called Carnivore, which is a steakhouse. Now, I am a self-proclaimed steakhouse snob, so I have to keep it real: for the price, it was mid. But for a resort steakhouse, it was good. The rest of the food throughout the resort was WAAYYYY better than expected--even the poolside grill and the food you can order directly to your cabana. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ribs they made at the poolside grill every day were FANTASTIC! The head of culinary at the resort, Mr. Germain, is definitely doing what needs to be done because the food was consistently impressive throughout the property. Now, the second-most important thing for most people: NIGHTLIFE. Personally, I came to relax, and the overall vibe of the resort definitely gives relaxation. However, they do have a nightclub called Egos, which stays open until 1 AM. I went once, but it wasn't really my music or my vibe. If you're looking for more of a nightlife scene, I would suggest heading into the city. BUTTTT... if you love a good pool party, make sure you hit the Moët Pool Party because BABYYYYYY... it was LIT! Overall, the resort exceeded my expectations. The service, food, atmosphere, and attention to detail made for an amazing experience, and I would absolutely consider coming back!

    We recently stayed at this hotel for a week. Like most properties in Cancun, it is modern and…read morepacked with great amenities. However, what truly struck us both this time was the incredibly warm treatment we received. A hotel is only as great as its staff, and the team here is what makes it special. We booked a club-level oceanfront room, which included butler service. Our butler, Arturo, absolutely came through for us. He handled our restaurant and cabana reservations ahead of time and was instrumental in securing a late check-out on our final day. The dining at this all-inclusive is superb. For breakfast, Siete offers a decent buffet, and our waiter, Helvert, was incredibly kind and always took the time to chat with us. For dinner, DB was our top choice for elegant continental dining, complete with a live pianist. The manager, Susana, provided excellent service, the food was delicious, and the chef even came out to greet us. We also loved Hidden Gardens, a relaxed Asian-fusion spot with tasty food, impeccable service, and another welcome visit from the chef. During the sweltering day, the pool is the main draw. Lalo was always helpful in securing our requested cabana. They cost an extra $115 each time, but they are completely worth it to escape the intense sun. Our pool waitress, Marysol, befriended us and knew exactly what non-alcoholic drinks to bring us. My wife is a big coffee drinker, so we frequently stopped by the included Starbucks, where David the barista gave excellent service and loved chatting with me about World Cup soccer. Also, a big shoutout goes out to Lady and Daisy at the spa. They gave my wife and I heavenly massages. However, the absolute heart of the entire hotel is Marco, the extraordinary juicer at Siete! His positivity, jokes, and contagious smile drew a long line of people waiting for his blended drinks every morning. Thank you to everyone for making our trip so memorable!

    We were on a priority list to get a room with a one bedroom versus a studio for my daughter who has…read moretwo young children. My wife and I have been members since 2015 and on the paperwork said we will get the 1 bedroom unless not available from the top level members. The place was half empty. There's no way the 20 rooms in the category were taken. They try to sell us an upgrade in our membership and then they would've given us the room that would somehow automatically be available.. I highly recommend not considering buying a membership here. I'll sell you mine for $4000, 19 years left, no maintenance fee. We also had a problem with one of my other daughters, not getting picked up at the airport for over an hour. Also family members wanted to play pickle ball and because they weren't 18 or older, half of our group were not able to play.

    We stayed here 3 nights. There were many things I did enjoy. Great views, friendly check in staff,…read morelots of food, fun night entertainment. Issues with the place including the building itself. Elevators constantly breaking down and being super slow. Hot tub outside the room jets didn't work. Someone came to fix them but they only worked again for a few minutes then stopped working again. Bathroom lights shock you when you turn them on. Shower drips water out all over the floor. Room 1112 door doesn't close properly. You have to make sure to slam it or it stays open. Theater is super hot and chairs are uncomfortable. Worst thing of all though is the workers in the lobby trying to convince you to join their club. It's pretty harassing and when we said we were not interested the guy talking to us got super angry which I found to be very unprofessional. Also, inclusive resort but beach towels cost money which is weird. For 300 a night you would think we could have a towel.
