Our First Time in Cancun – A Huge Disappointment
This was our first trip to Cancun, and we chose this resort because it advertises itself as a 5-star hotel. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations.
The rooms are small, outdated, and have a serious humidity problem. None of our clothes dried during our stay. The beds, floor, and bedding were constantly damp, and we had to sleep on wet sheets for two nights. We later learned from other guests that this is not normal at other Cancun resorts. Because our clothes remained wet, we had to pack damp luggage, which caused us to pay extra baggage fees on our flight home.
Room service was also disappointing. Dirty dishes sat outside our room for almost one days. For a 5-star resort, we were surprised that room service could not be ordered from the restaurants, and the in-room dining menu had very limited options.
We also attended the membership presentation because we were interested in hearing there IBEROSTAR sales presentation for extra perks. After deciding not to purchase, an older staff member, the closer, became rude, unprofessional, and made us feel uncomfortable for saying no. He said he was the director, and was a lie.
Finally, although I entered the correct ages of my children when booking through Expedia, the hotel still charged us an extra fee for our 13-year-old at check-in.
Overall, we paid premium prices but received far less than expected from a 5-star resort. We would not return or recommend this hotel.
