Residence Inn Hotels in Cancun

Bait and switch masters. Given the fact that this is a very popular resort, management obviously feels entitled to provide the service they deem minimally sufficient in order to maximize profits. My wife and I unknowingly made reservations for a takeover four day weekend. The group doing the takeover had their own events either away from the resort or in specific areas of the resort with no access available to the other guests. I had no issue with that fact given that they paid extra for their events. The fact that the group had over 80% of the rooms reserved resulted in the events organized for the rest of the guests, having next to no attendance, the club was dead every night we were there. The takeover group was very friendly and we had no issues with them. We didn’t see them very much. I requested a transfer to another one of their resorts but Adrian Guevara, supervisor on duty for Premier member services, was unwilling to transfer us unless I paid current prices for those resorts. I made my reservation for temptation ten months ago and even then, the rooms were far from inexpensive. I was not willing to pay more to be transferred. Mr Guevara was rude and the furthest thing from service oriented. Though the entertainment staff tried to improve the atmosphere, the playmakers were for the most part, the only ones on the dance floor every night we were there. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

This review is in comparison to our previous stays, not our initial thoughts on the property. The Vine has always been our go-to resort and our last visit in November 2019 was amazing. Unfortunately we have found that the quality just isn't as good as it used to be: Food quality was the biggest disappointment and has definitely gone downhill. Bluewater was always our favourite but quickly became our least favourite this trip. Pizza at Nebbiolo is delicious. House red wine has changed and was horrible. A/C in the room was minimal - would not go below 71 - we requested a fan but unfortunately didn't get one (yes we know to close the patio doors to ensure it's on). The main areas/restaurants also used to be air conditioned but no longer seem to be, especially in Dragons. Chair game is fierce! I enjoy the sunrise and would be down around 6am and a lot of hot spots were already saved. We were there for 7 days in a Preferred Junior Suite and only received bar/snack refills one day. We mentioned to our floor butler and asked for the refill, still nothing! Normally we received three mini liquors, Pringles and M&M's daily... this trip only on the day of check in. It's unfortunate because we truly do love The Vine - the rooms, views, pools, entertainment and service are still outstanding, but in comparison to previous visits it's no longer a resort we care to return to. Side note: Ricardo at Nebbiolo is fantastic and was the star of our week!

After the trip to Cancun, I felt exhausted. Marriott's magical operation was beyond my understanding. I booked a Club 91 King Room for the first night, and the second night renewal fee increased by 1,500, and I changed to a Seaview Deluxe King Room: 1) I booked a Seaview Deluxe King Room, but found it was a twin room when I checked in, and it was very humid. I didn't bother to ask the front desk to change it; 2) Club 91 offers a free SPA, but when I made an appointment, I was told that it was just a hand, which lasted for about a few minutes, without the body. I enjoyed it for nothing, but the hand was not needed; 3) When checking out, I checked out the Seaview Room first. The list showed 6 lines including room fee and various taxes, all on the bill. Fortunately, I could speak some English, so I asked the front desk one more question. They said that I had already paid other fees except the resort fee on Ctrip, so why did I have to pay? Then I checked; 4) When I settled the Club 91 bill again, the amount I had paid was not on the bill, but there was an additional mini bar consumption. I was so busy that day that I only drank 2 bottles of free water in the room, and then I checked again; 5) I asked the hotel how many pesos it would cost if I could help call a taxi to the airport? The reply was 700. I happened to see a taxi driver waiting for passengers. I asked him and he said 500, so I got in the car without hesitation. 6) I forgot a beloved dress in the room when I checked out. After I left, I found out that I forgot to call the hotel again. They said they didn’t see it. They swore that the dress was only worn in the hotel and never left the hotel lobby. I asked for a day, but they still said no. I still feel sad. Looking back, I don’t know if these are pitfalls or coincidences? The hotel front desk and Club 91 staff are very friendly, and the facilities, environment, outdoor swimming pool, and exclusive beach are all good.

Hotel is located at the north east point of Cancun *****, which allows to have an access to the beach at the northern side as well as at the eastern side. Both of the beaches are hidden from big waves by the piers. Turquoize suites are spacious and well maintained with an amazing view of the sea. Hotel territory is big enough for walks around it. Sea view from different spots is really beautiful. Hotel has several pools so that the clients can choose one suitable for them. There are several restaurants and bars in the hotel as well, which brings some diversity of options. Hotel staff is very friendly and polite. Service is really good. Overall nice impression of the hotel. Turquoize suite also has a separate building, which is more quiet and a separate swimming pool with a good view of the sea. Definitely recommend this hotel to all sorts of visitors. The only thing that can be better is the food. I would give 4 points out of 5 for the food, it can be more delicious and special as well as the cocktails in the bars, but maybe it’s because of the “all inclusive” type of the service.

Hotel environment is good! Meals are still ok! There are 4 restaurants in the evening! 3 to book! There are 6.7 at noon, no reservation! Breakfast two restaurants! Room service actually needs to charge 5 US dollars per service fee... There is no welcome drink when you stay! Did not introduce it! Feeling less enthusiastic...

There were 29 of us!! Several had upgraded room with butler and he, (Yomelly) couldn’t have been more helpful. Anything we wanted/desired or barely mentioned, he was all over it. My group gave Grand Park an 8/10. The only thing that would have made it a 10 would be more food options. The food provided was good, the rooms and pools very nice…drinks a-plenty, love the coffee & sweets cafe!! As a travel agent, I send a lot of clients to GPR because I’ve stayed twice, I feel it is a 5 ⭐️ resort, walking distance to flea market, easy access to city bus and lots of turtle hatching going on. Felt perfectly safe and will continue to send clients to GPR.

Very much so a college getaway spot. During spring break time it is mostly drunk college kids. Food wasn’t very good but had some restaurants that were much better than others if you make a reservation. Staff was nice and for the most part was clean

Good service in general. The facilities are already worn out and above all the air conditioning in the common areas was terrible... both the lobby and the restaurant, which was very annoying. I hope they fix it. Otherwise the food meets the requirements and the rooms were comfortable and without problems.

This hotel has one of the best beaches in Cancun. The water was so clear and clean. You can snorkel and see some beautiful fish. There was plenty of beach chairs without having to reserve ahead of time. The property for the most part was very clean. It is an older property and the employees work very hard keeping it clean. It is an all inclusive for food and drinks. No complaints there , everything was pretty tasty and fresh. The hotel is centrally located and near shops. The view from our room was absolutely breath taking. The rooms are very spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative for us was the smoking. It is a smokers paradise and it’s hard to find a place to relax without encountering the smoke. The hotel has good entertainment every night and very talented people. We would consider staying again at this property and would recommend.
