Stayed
at
this
resort
through
a
quick
cheap
Sunwing
package.
FIRST
thing
to
note
is
that
they
will
charge
you
900pesos
or
$50USD
as
soon
as
you
check
in
for
a
tourism
and
environmental
tax.
I
did
look
closer
into
the
Sunwing
fine
print
and
found
that
disclosure
but
it
was
not
very
forthcoming.
So
make
sure
you
have
that
ready-
also
maybe
this
is
normal
but
this
is
the
first
time
I
have
stayed
in
a
resort
in
Mexico
so
I
can’t
say.
I
have
no
problem
paying
the
tax
to
maintain
the
beautiful
environment
we
are
visiting
but
I
was
caught
off
guard.
SECOND,
this
resort
is
at
the
perfect
location
for
the
type
of
trip
we
were
interested
in.
It
is
within
walking
distance
of
a
Chedraui
supermarket
(good
for
groceries,
toiletries,
apparel,
pharmacy
etc),
a
24hr
Pharmacy,
Money
exchanges,
OXXO
convenience
store,
bus
stations,
20min
walk
to
Walmart
Express
(I
recommend
Chedraui
instead),
a
McDonald’s,
the
Plaza
of
Americas
(shopping
mall
and
food
court),
Mercado
28
(skip
if
you
ask
me)
AND
I
highly
recommend
visiting
the
Parque
de
les
Palapas
for
cheap
street
food
and
evening
atmosphere!
Ride
the
R1
or
R2
bus
for
12pesos
a
person
for
10-15minutes
to
get
to
the
hotel
strip
and
beaches.
So
location
is
10/10
actually
100/10.
It
is
THE
perfect
place
to
visit
cancun.
I
highly
recommend
the
breakfast
package.
We
found
it
fresh,
tasty
and
plentiful.
You
can’t
start
your
day
any
better
than
with
a
bright
breakfast
like
this.
It
does
get
busy
for
bouts
and
I
often
had
to
wait
to
be
seated
5-10minutes
but
never
longer.
The
staff
was
great
no
issues
there.
Everyone
was
pleasant
and
accommodating.
That
being
said
DO
NOT
purchase
excursions
through
the
concierge.
They
are
extremely
overpriced.
She
quoted
us
140USD
PER
PERSON
for
a
Chichen
Itza
(cenote,
Valladolid)
bus
tour-
we
the
exact
same
tour
from
J&C
tours
up
the
street
for
$50
USD
each.
Air
conditioning
worked
great
in
the
room-
so
did
the
elevators
and
key
cards
and
Minifridge
SO
NOW
THE
NEGATIVES:
Our
room
had
bugs.
We
noticed
on
the
first
night
a
couple
little
roach
like
bugs.
We
didn’t
sweat
it
as
they
seemed
harmless
and
it
is
very
difficult
to
keep
spaces
bug
free
in
hot
humid
countries.
Then
we
started
to
see
them
more.
They
seemed
to
be
coming
from
the
credenza
under
the
TV.
If
you
have
been
quiet
for
a
while
with
little
light
and
get
up
you
can
see
them
all
skitter
away.
They
were
ALL
over
the
cups
spoons
coffee
machine-
DO
NOT
USE!
We
slept
with
the
lights
on
and
one
eye
open
for
most
of
the
trip.
Thankfully
we
never
saw
one
on
the
bed
or
I
would
have
been
out
of
there.
In
my
opinion
there
is
a
infestation
in
that
drawer
thing-
this
wasn’t
a
negligible
amount
of
bugs.
I
cannot
speak
if
any
of
the
other
rooms
had
this
issue
or
if
it
was
a
standalone
problem.
I
also
wasn’t
impressed
with
the
laundering
and
sheets
and
pillows.
Many
times
I
saw
stains
and
marks
on
the
“freshly
changed”
sheets
that
I
had
to
will
myself
to
ignore
because
we
are
in
paradise.
Housekeeping
is
also
stingy
with
towels
and
water.
If
they
see
any
water
in
your
room
while
they
make
the
change
they
will
NOT
leave
you
your
3
water
bottle
ration.
Do
not
be
afraid
to
ask
reception
for
water
if
they
skip
your
room.
Pool
area
was
nothing
to
write
home
about.
I
went
in
it
literally
once-
the
water
was
quite
cold,
and
the
chairs
and
solo
tubs
were
pretty
dirty.
It
was
much
more
worth
it
to
pack
a
backpack
and
catch
the
bus
to
the
beach.
All
in
all
I
really
want
to
love
this
hotel.
The
location
location
location,
amenities,
staff
and
breakfast
are
everything
I
wanted
and
more
in
my
Cancún
adventure.
But
I
remember
how
uncomfortable
I
felt
trying
to
sleep
with
the
lights
on
in
questionable
sheets
getting
up
to
check
the
bed
for
bugs
every
couple
of
hours
and
it
makes
me
question
if
I
would
ever
go
back.
EDIT:
Just
saw
another
review
from
shortly
after
my
stay
citing
roach
infestation
