The BEST place to stay in Cancun!!
Review Submitted: January 3, 2011
Date of Stay: November 2010
I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks at this condo, almost 2 weeks by myself, and then 10 days with my husband and family. I felt completely safe and secure when I was on my own. Security staff is always around but not intrusive, and the staff is so gracious and helpful. If you are hesitant to visit Mexico because of security issues, not to worry. We stayed in Cancun, did day trips to Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, and Chichen Itza, and felt perfectly safe at all times. I also made trips on my own into downtown Cancun to shop and everyone I met was very friendly and helpful.
The condo itself was just perfect for our family of five. It was so nice to have a few family meals with our children who are now adults and live away from home, and plenty of room to kick back and socialize in the large living room, dining room, and 3 spacious balconies. The kitchen is stocked just right with everything you would want on vacation. It was also nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom, and each bedroom is generously sized. We used the wireless internet to look up things to do each day, and the free international phone to check on things at home. There are three freshwater pools at the condo complex, a spa, and gym, plus the beautiful Caribe literally steps away from the condo.
The condo complex is located in the heart of the hotel zone with easy access to every imaginable restaurant. We all agreed that it's located in the best possible spot in Cancun. The biggest and best nightclubs are one block away. The waverunner and boat rental marina is also about a block away via the beach. The water is calmer on the north side of the hotel zone than the it is on the east side, which means more swimming days at the condo beach. The Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach next door has a brunch every morning that is to die for. Mocambo's restaurant is also just steps away on the beach and offers good food and fun music. You can also get a day pass at the all-inclusive RIU on the other beach side of the condo complex for something like $75. We didn't do this, but met a couple on the beach from Canada who were staying at the RIU and wanted to know how to book a condo at our complex. When they told us what they paid for their 3 day stay at the RIU, we felt very good about the value of our condo.
The owner was delightful to work with, and her manager in Cancun is an American who is bi-lingual and very helpful. They both helped make this vacation absolutely perfect.
We will be back!!
