    OVERALL: I LOVED this resort. Went here for work retreat of 21 people for 4 nights. Lucky work paid for alot of it (thanks!!) but I did book spa treatment :). It is on the very high end yet you won't be disappointed because the quality of service and experience staying here was truly exceptional. RESORT Nizuc is close to the Cancun airport, away from the hotel zone. It is very safe for guests to stay at because you enter and exit through secure gate. Very peaceful, it is not situated between other hotels so it feels more secluded. The resort is kid and dog friendly. Can do paddle boarding and snorkeling on the property. Pretty much don't even need to leave at all during the stay. Hotel handled arrangements for our group in connecting us to excursions and transportation. (ie: catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Chichen Itza + cenote). Stayed in ocean view room with 2 queen beds + balcony. I was by myself but can easily fit my family here with no problem. Housekeeping cleans room daily and does turndown service so check your treat in the small bag each night, it's something different. You can exchange dollar to peso at the front desk without problem for when you venture out of the resort to places that only accept pesos but I couldn't change peso back to dollar. The entire resort accepts dollars and all major credit cards. MEALS We had buffet breakfast (roughly $50 USD pp) at the cafe de la playa and there are plenty of options. I always requested Mexican hot chocolate and loved eating the cottage cheese with papaya & guava. American continental is offered (pancakes, waffles, omelets to order etc) but also local Mexican flavors worth trying for breakfast. Variety of pastries even mini pan dulce! For dinners, the restaurants our group dined at prepared 3 course menu to make it easier serving a group of 21 people. Dined at Ramona, Terra Nostra, and Indochine. The fish dishes were much better than the beef dishes IMO. I would go back to Indochine just to try sushi! So good! Nizuc is kosher friendly and even offers menu for dogs. The room service breakfast was exquisite, beautifully presented and fresh. SPA The spa is not to be missed!! My most serene, cleanest and rejuvenating spa experience to date. The spa gardens are beautiful, with koi pond. I did not have problem booking spa appointment in the morning. Bring a swimsuit with you. Spa hours are 9am to 9pm. I had the Feel Perfect facial which included back massage + exfoliation and a facial, scalp massage in a private cabana for 90 minutes. I would have done a longer spa treatment if there was more time in my schedule. After the spa treatment you go through a hydrotherapy circuit. You start in sauna, cold shower, steam room, ice room, then soak in a large and spacious jacuzzi. No bad smell in sauna or steam room!! After jacuzzi you sit in tile chair that is heated, and attendant will offer water or tea, place cool patches over your eyes, do a light scalp massage while adding some oil too. It was delightful FITNESS CENTER It is located next to the spa and has all the equipment you'd expect to keep up with workout routine. I had a good time exercising in the aerobic room. Fitness center open from 7am to 6pm during my stay. Came here weekend before MLK, the weather was perfect. Jan thru May is best time to visit Cancun. I want to come back here again! Highly recommend.

    SPA REVIEW: I've been fortunate enough to experience many luxe spas - this is hands down one of the best spa experiences in the world. Noe was incredibly helpful in booking my services and accommodating all of my wishes. He was professional, kind, and warm. This level of seamlessness is expected at luxury resorts - however he goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed and your desires are met! Un abrazo Noe - eres un ángel! Ana has gifted hands - amazing masseuse. I opted for a personalized deep tissue massage which was flawless. She understands the body. The scents, the technique, the sounds, the room, her kindness - all unparalleled (compared to most masseuses.) Again, at these high price points - a massage with Ana is worth every dollar. I highly recommend her for your massage and hydrotherapy. Un abrazo también para ti Ana! Enjoy!

    Our balcony (considered "deluxe ocean view") was a great spot to have coffee and ride out the brief afternoon storms.

    My man + I recently spent a full week at this amazing resort and wowza! I mean, this place is bougie AF so...what's not to like? From the moment you drive into Nizuc, it's clear this resort is special. The giant entry gates give off a Jurassic Park vibe as you journey into this very luxurious and private resort. The grounds are beautifully maintained with the only sounds being the quiet hum from an occasional golf cart taking guests to and fro. At check-in, you are greeted with ice cold cucumber tea and a cool towel...and from this point forward, every.single.staff.member calls you by name. Seriously. From the butler to the golf car drivers to the concierge, everyone calls you Mr. ____ or Ms. ____. (I'd love to know how they do it, but I envisioned the scene in The Devil Wears Prada where an assistant is required to memorize a photo book of every guest and whisper it into Meryl Streep's ear at just the right moment. Except that there was no assistant and the recognition was universal across the staff. You feel like a celebrity, but I guess for $700+/night you should...?) Speaking of the staff, all I can say is WOW. I have never encountered hotel staff as warm, genuine, and attentive as Nizuc's. Again, not only did they all greet us by name (how?!?) but they also remembered every detail of our itinerary. As we exited the building in the morning, our butler would ask, "Ms. ____, do you need anything before your 8pm reservation at X Restaurant?" Then the golf cart driver would say, "Ms. ____, how did you enjoy snorkeling yesterday?" or "Mr. ____, is there anything you need in your room?" The service was insanely top notch. Within the resort, there are two large pools - one adult and one family pool. Wanting a serene experience, we spent a day or two at the adult pool before venturing to the family pool. Surprisingly, we actually preferred the family pool. Perhaps it was because there were very few kids, or perhaps it was the swim-up bar (okay, it was definitely the latter) but we just found the energy at the family pool to be on point. We spent at least a portion of every day under a cabana poolside where the ambiance and service was totally on point. Super relaxing! I must share that we were there in early October which is, for some strange reason, the low season. We were told the resort was only 20-25% capacity, so perhaps we felt so special because there were so few guests. However, I get the impression Nizuc goes out of the way to provide an insane level of service regardless of season. Not to be outdone, Nizuc's restaurants are top notch. During our stay, we tried all of them and were mostly impressed by each one. (The one exception was Cafe de la Playa, which we found to be way overpriced for average quality breakfast. I just don't need a $32 omelette unless it truly knocks my socks off and it didn't, however I have eggs every morning and had no other option since Cafe de la Playa is Nizuc's only breakfast restaurant. It was the one place we felt a bit price gouged.) Indochine and Ramona were the clear standout dining experiences. And once again, the service was always outstanding. We had no fewer than 3 servers everywhere we went. Nary a sip was taken without someone immediately refilling our glass. Nizuc guests have complimentary access to paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear and we found the reef just feet from Nizuc's private pier to be a quite peaceful place to float and snorkel. My man + I are the type who actually work out on vacation, and we found the gym to be fairly well equipped. There was actually a smith bar, ample dumbbells, a few weight machines, and plenty of cardio options (dozens of bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, etc.). Each time we left our room, housekeeping came in to make the bed, replace water bottles, freshen towels, etc. And each evening turn down service left a note and a sweet treat. While I usually prefer a condo or Airbnb with a kitchen for a weeklong stay, Nizuc couldn't have been more perfect! B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Very bougie but 5-stars all the way around!

    I mean it doesn't get any better then this! The food is just incredible, service is as good as it gets, it's just the perfect place for a great relaxing vacation AND I brought my five year old!

    All I can say is WOW. If I can give this resort 100 stars, this is it. I have to say this place is on my top 3 places you MUST visit. I went with my husband to treat it as a mini moon and it delivered. I hope and wish for everyone to experience such a place of luxury, all around exclusive service, class, and beauty. This resort and spa has also been listed on Condé Naste's must place to visit and it delivered. From the moment you walk in, the breathtaking views, and amazing architecture- the place is art in itself. It was seriously sensory overload as all my senses took over. The views, calming scent and sounds of the ocean... this was definitely a place of serenity and beauty inside and out. As an Amex platinum member, we were also upgraded to a suite and it was so nice. The views, and the bathroom was magical. I can go on and on but you really need to go to experience this place for yourselves and you MUST go. The spa is another review in itself. I highly recommend everyone to book a spa service here. The infinity pool was magical and the private beach was beyond perfection. The morning buffet was first class and we enjoyed our stay here so much. It is definitely a place for couples as it is very romantic and can't recommend it enough. RUN.

    5 star all the way! The service, the venue, the rooms, the food- complete luxury! The ONLY place to stay in Cancun. We went the Ritz for one night at the end due to a flight cancellation and it was terrible compared to the Nizuc! This place it 10 stars out of 5! The vibe is so amazing - it's like you are in Isla Mujeres or Playa Del Carmen yet you are literally only 15 min from the Cancun airport!!!! Get a great rate on skylark travel or a deal on a hotel site so you can avoid the $1000 a night price tag and snag a good deal. It's worth it! You can see the sunrise and sunset! Thanks to our hostess Nazaret for most meals she works hard! Definitely recommend the Nizuc! Romantic, luxury, chill getaway! The music is so good and nice everywhere and puts you in a zen state. Get away from chaos and restore here. Ask for room in front building facing beach, high floor. Compliments to the extraordinary butlers! All of them fantastic! El Punta is so good are there 4 nights in a row! Excellent mocktails on property too!

    Man....... there's so much to say about this place you could write a book! Thoroughly impressed from top to bottom from the moment you walk in the door. Place feels like Jurassic Park when you come through the huge stone gates and to the main building. Immediately greeted with an incredible water garden and it's so peaceful! Cool towel and drinks to get you properly checked in comes in handy on a hot day. We went in mid March so just at the beginning of the COVID-19 situation. There were like 100 cases in Mexico, so no one seemed worried, but they were vigilant with their cleaning and you had your temp taken anytime you left and came back to the property. Even though it had just started, bookings were wayyyyyyy down, so felt like we had the place to ourselves! Nizuc sits on a lagoon in the middle of the jungle basically and is very spread out so driving around in the golf carts is a must! With so much foliage, at night you literally feel like you're in Jurassic Park and have to listen to the trees for signs of velociraptors! Everyone was incredibly friendly, the food was amazing and you got more than your money's worth. Rooms were nicely appointed and anything you wanted was just a phone call away. Multiple pools to relax in, beach access and water sport rentals (though you can't get a jet ski and ride around on your own we found out). Gym is incredible. Have never seen a better hotel/resort gym in my life! Got a spa treatment with salt scrubs, wet/dry sauna, hydrotherapy, cold plunge, head/neck massage and decompression area with a pool! Not really for singles, though we came at a weird time with the virus and such. Great for families, couples and people that just want to get away and relax. No crazy loud music and pool parties which is fine by me. It's a pricey adult vacation and worth every penny! Highly recommend

    Asparagus with some cold Parmesan sprinkled on top then hit with a blow torch which tastes like pure lighter fluid.
    Daniel H.

    I would give it 5 stars but the food is no bueno, way overpriced bland and frankly weird. You have got to be kidding.... la Punta is grossly overpriced and had the bizarre asparagus with the lighter fluid torched cheese. We were promised a much better experience at Ramona which ended up with us leaving after three hours of very slow service of each tasting course weirder than the previous. All for the low price of $600 including the 6 total cocktails. Don't get me wrong we stay here often and Nizuc is amazing in every way for esthetics, design atmosphere fantastic staff but the food is just gross and overpriced nonsense that does not stand up to the incredible design and staff. The breakfast is plentiful and the only food that is doable. But most of that is catered in pastries, breads and cereals ... fruit , bacon and charcuterie. Hard to mess that up. I would completely say to stay here for the design, staff and beauty. Just go outside of property to eat...

    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.

    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!

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!

Cristian, Eric, Adrian, Justin, Alejandro and Aniv at the Sweet & Coffee amazing. This trip was our 10 year anniversary and they kept us in coffee and sweets. On our anniversary they had made us a special cake and oh my goodness it was chocolaty and so good. We also had Juan as our waiter at the Aurora and I swear that man remembered everything I liked and then on our last day made sure my wife had her favorite dish. The staff at all the restaurants were always above perfect and just kept it coming every time we showed up. Also, we spent alot of time at the Party Pool this trip and the entertainment staff kept us laughing and entertained. We were in the honeymoon suite so concierge was great and the chocolate on the pillow never disappointed. 5 and will return. AND the turtle this time of year were huge

    I came here with my husband and almost 3 year old son and almost 1 year old daughter…read more We did the full inclusive package including flights and transfers and our flight worked out to get there really early, like at noon, but check in wasn't until 3 or 4. They said they'd put us on a waitlist to check in early but I didn't hear from anyone until I affirmatively reached out on WhatsApp at 4pm. I didn't really appreciate that with 2 small kids. Even their checking in to say they were running late would have been better than not hearing at all. The family room we stayed In was a nice layout with one king bedroom for us and one kids room and 1.5 baths. It was a good amount of square feet. The concerns we had were also quickly and efficiently fixed too like the shower rain head not working, needing a mattress topper, and needing more water. The follow up communication was lacking again though in that they never confirmed they did anything. The property is pretty spaced out so they have golf carts for about 10 people at a time going back and forth almost every 10 min or so. They are very nice and accommodating of strollers and little kids, of which there are a lot. The kids clubs go from 4 months all the way up and the staff were friendly and very professional particularly Melaria. I heard one of the kids clubs rooms had an air conditioning problem when we were there but our kids weren't impacted. The kids also go out and about doing things so they aren't in the rooms much. We thought the food was much better than in club med punta Cana. The avocado and guacamole were fresh and good. The food overall often was too salted, but good quality. We also really enjoyed the poolside fresh seafood ceviche and guacamole. The espanola specialty restaurant also makes a great burger. Their skirt steak is kind of oily and fatty. The red snapper isn't fileted which was disappointing. We overall preferred going to the hacienda buffet style. Top picks were the birria cheese quesadillas, the paella, the omelet station, and the baby station with 3 purée options per meal. They always at every meal too had kid friendly options of cereal, chicken nuggets, burgers, fries which my son really liked. The salmon was good but too buttery. The coffee games was fun but too French focused to be a fair fight lol the aerobics instructor was great- friendly, upbeat, energetic, approachable. The cocktail making class was also great and I loved getting a recipe for a mezcal old fashioned I brought home! The sparking wine class was terrible. The guy had attitude when I asked about it and claimed it was an educational class not a tasting and only let us try one bottle when we were all inclusive. It just seemed really cheap and his not knowing English very well was distracting. I was also disappointed that the one sailing instructor was really rude and even though the posted hours are 9-12 and 2-4, he told us at 9:45 we had to come back the next day because they started the class at 9:30 when that wasn't posted anywhere. While the archery guy was super nice and caught us up just fine. The snorkeling guy was also really nice but beware - you go by yourself or whoever you're with and I encountered a stingray! Luckily I swam away but still, no one is there to help you in the water. The resort and pools and bars are beautiful though currently under construction. We did a few classes in la bodega and really enjoyed ourselves and meeting people there. It was also fun figuring out all the different things our drink options included, like frozen cappuccino, mezcal cocktails, Mayan liqueur, frozen mojitos, frozen margaritas, etc. We overall really enjoyed our vacation but do wish some of this stuff had been more spelled out so we didn't have to learn as we went. Having it spelled out in the app more would have been really helpful. Overall recommend for family trips with kids club options, especially if you get a good deal!

    We visited club med Cancun as a part of a large group. We had about 24 people including kids. The…read morepackage included shuttle service to and from airport which was nice. When we got there, they gave us water and lemonade and started with a brief introduction of everything, provided room keys and towels cards and other orientation. Staff all seemed pretty friendly and helpful for the most part from the cleaning staff, the bartenders, waitstaff, lifeguards, kids club teachers, etc. The food overall was a bit hit or miss. Somethings were wayyy too salty, or were over cooked or undercooked (crunchy risotto - no thanks!) but most food items were pretty good - amazing skirt steak and great shrimp! There's tons of variety of food so you won't get bored. The beaches did have a lot of sargassum when we went but they did a great job keeping the north beach and taco arte beaches clear. There's a playground, splash pad/waterpark with some water slides, playground for kids (though mainly for older kids and it does get hot in the sun), a nice big pool with bar/snacks, water sports, pickleball courts, archery, mini golf, trapeze and trampoline, and other sports. The rooms were a bit dated. We noticed our mirror had a big chunk missing on the top right corner, the bed sheets looked worn and thinning in some areas and our balcony door wouldn't lock (luckily they sent maintenance to fix it asap). They have various kids club for different ages run by teachers which is great for parents to be able to drop off and go do other things. Overall, we enjoyed our time at club med. Lots of activities, lots of diversity of food and lots of drinks.

The view of from the infinity edge looking out to the ocean can't be beat. I did have lunch at their pool side restaurant which the special of the day was poke and it was delicious. Service was also friendly and prompt. As I was there on a day pass they held my passport u til I returned the key card to access the gym/locker room and the two towel cards. I really enjoyed they have a lending library and I got to pickup a book while there. In usual fashion, pool chairs were reserved as soon as the day starts which made it harder to find a prime seat. They also had a competition at the pool area that was entertaining to watch. Restrooms could have been better marked for directions as I wondered we around for a hot minute to find the ones labeled on the maps. Maybe it was just me? Overall great day at the property and I'll stay here next time to get the full experience.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! We stayed at The Westin Lagunamar Ocean…read moreResort Villas & Spa expecting a high-end experience and got the exact opposite. We arrived late and asked for bottled water, and were told to just drink the sink water... in Mexico. That alone set the tone. I also repeatedly emailed our concierge for assistance and received no response whatsoever. Our room smelled like mold, and the sheets were damp. Housekeeping replaced them, but the odor and overall condition never improved. Not what you expect at this level. Then it got worse. We had two rooms, one at this hotel and one at a neighboring hotel where a large group of our family was staying. That other hotel requires wristbands, which we had, so security here assumed we didn't belong, even though we had rooms at this property. At the pool, they approached us publicly and repeatedly questioned us, over and over, in front of everyone. No attempt to verify privately, no discretion, just standing over us and making a scene. It was humiliating. Then it happened again. While checking out, we crossed back onto this property to retrieve our luggage that they were holding. Security stopped us again and treated us like we were doing something wrong, only to confirm, once again, that we were legitimate guests. Two separate incidents. Same behavior. The level of aggression and lack of professionalism from security is completely out of control. This is not how paying guests should ever be treated. This wasn't just a misunderstanding, it was a failure in how guests are handled, and it happened more than once. We will never stay here again.
