Just got back from our trip...
OK, this was our first trip to Cancun and now we know why this resort was so affordable! There is NO WAY that this is a 4 star restort. It doesn't help that we caught the spring break crowd, our fault that we assumed spring break would be over. We had taken a red-eye so by the time we were checking in we had been up for close to 30 hours. Had to wait in line, in a non-air conditioned lobby for over 45 minutes to get checked in. We were told at the desk that we could upgrade to the Grand Oasis for $50 per night, but we just wanted a room so bad that we said no thanks. (after reading reviews on that side of the resort, don't know if it would have been any better) Then we got hit by the concierge! We were so tired that when they pitched the breakfast and "90 minute" tour the next morning we just said fine. Room was ok, nothing special. I've definitely seen worse, but also stayed in much better! Decor is sparse, but who cares. Instead of a king, it was two doubles pushed together. Again, no big deal. No mini-fridge, found out that cost extra (did order that on day 3 and it took over 24 hours for the thing to get cold...).
Went to the aforementioned breakfast the next morning only to be pitched the "vacation ownership". These people are sharks! They really won't take no for an answer! By the third guy they sent over I ended up being down right rude and just getting up and walking out. Got $100 off any tour we wanted, only to find out when booking that they converted that to pesos so you don't really get the full $100.
Food was ok, found out that what we were told wasn't what we got. Had been told by travel agent that we could use all stuff at Grand Oasis, got there and they told us no. Asked for housekeeping to bring laundry slips so we could have laundry done, that never happened. Elevators were a 50/50 chance on if they worked or not. We were on the 5th floor and had to cart our suitcases down to the lobby for checkout. Can't wait on bellhops because no one was in a hurry there.
On the good points, the beach is beautiful, the pools are nice and the alcohol was flowing! All in all, really enjoyed Cancun, just won't stay at this resort again.
