    The location was stunning for Cancun, very close to the night life and shopping mall, Mayan ruins, zip lines, water sports and shopping and the Cancun and the Royal Sands. Our suite was stylish right on the beach-beautiful view...

    This hotel is not worth the all inclusive pricing. The food and beverages were so terribly poor quality that we ended up paying to eat elsewhere. E.G. pizzas served were microwaved frozen pizzas. When we did order room service on 2 occasions, it took 1 1/2 hours to arrive, despite ordering juice, bread and cereal. Our finished room service trays were then left outside our room for 3 days before staff took it away. The pool area was rowdy, unclean and the behaviour of other guests significantly affected our enjoyment e.g. chairs pulled into pool and left floating, parents skulling drinks and doing shots (and yelling, egging each other on) in the pool bar with their children in floaties watching on. There was clearly intoxicated people yelling and screaming all afternoon in the pool and at the pool bar, however they continued to be served alcohol. Don't get me wrong- I enjoy drinking- but the behaviour was crude, unsafe and obnoxious. I would therefore not recommend staying here if you had children, and I would also not stay here as a couple (as we were)!

    family room
    great food

    Great place for a family getaway

    So we had this family room upgrade that was really nice and spacious. The kids had a blast at the jacuzzi at night and I gotta say, the food at that Hacienda Sisal was pretty good too.

    While it wasn't exactly cheap, it was still acceptable for what we got.

    fine beach
    great food
    excellent service
    reservation difficulties
    signage issues
    pool chair

    The beach was fine with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming. Loved the friendly staff. The food options were great, especially at Hacienda Sisal, every meal exceeded my expectations. The pool area was well-maintained. Getting chair space at the pool could be tricky at times. I found it challenging to navigate the hotel due to the lack of clear signage. We faced issues with dinner reservations. Getting the time we wanted was difficult. I encountered varied responses to my questions at the reception. Despite these hiccups, the cleanliness of the resort and the quality of service shone through. Enjoyed complimentary room service and appreciated the upgrade to a lovely family room. The festive atmosphere for the 4th of July celebration was a highlight. Would consider coming back despite some inconveniences in reservations and communication.

    Spacious one bedroom suite with large balcony. Good family hotel but not so much for a solo traveler.

    No room service, no laundry service

    serene atmosphere
    gourmet food
    transactional service
    pushy promotions

    Like it or leave it? Here's my verdict

    The beachfront Junior Suite was fantastic! With a serene atmosphere, the gourmet food offerings delighted us,, ensuring we always had something delicious to savor.

    Service felt transactional at times,, and the push for time-share promotions was a bit overwhelming, detracting from the overall experience.

    The hotel was perfectly clean with very very helpful and top-class staff with the service and level of professionalism offered by ALL of their personnel. The location was perfect and magnificent for walking around an enclosed mall.

    all-inclusive experience

    Our Beautiful Two Bedroom Master Suite was spacious and had a private balcony with fine ocean views. The all-inclusive experience made our family vacation stress-free, with plenty of delicious food options available. The kids loved the beautiful pools and the private beach area.
