Hotel Riu Palace Peninsula - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Staff didn’t really explain to much about the resort and they negotiated a price with customers next to us for a better deal on there room than we got in Spanish. Seemed the more Spanish you spoke the better you were treated."

"The room was okay, the shower kept getting the floor wet, and the decor left something to be desired. Kinda cold and not very tropical. the spa was expensive. The whole staff was amazing. Thank you Rosalina and "Sexy Waiter" for an awesome time. The swim up bar was good,"

8/10 Good
"Very good property with many amenities and a fair amount of activities. Each night there is entertainment in one of the venues ranging from cabaret shows to live bands. We were there for Mexican Independence day and there was a special dinner celebration and entertainment. There are approximately six restaurants for dining to give you enough variety for a week stay. Staff was very friendly in every area of the property. The activity leaders of Yoga, Zumba, and water stretching were all great instructors. The hotel rooms are very nice, we stayed in an upgraded junior suite and we had no issues with sinks, water temperature, or pressure."

The Westin Cancun Resort & Spa

The Westin Cancun Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"We stayed for two nights before flying home from our Tulum vacation. PROS: 1. Location close to airport, not in the busy part of the Hotel Zone. 2. Grounds and pools were beautiful and well maintained. 3. Staff were welcoming and courteous. 4. We ate dinner at the Sea and Stones restaurant which had a lovely seaside patio and our waiter was wonderful. My partner enjoyed his pasta carbonara but my tandoori grilled fish was very salty. 5. Breakfast buffet was lovely. I added the option when booking the room and it was a fraction of the price compared to paying at the resort. We also appreciated that it was open until 11 am. CONS: 1. Rooms are quite a trek from the lobby and the route was confusing with minimal signage. 2. The light bulbs in our room were that sterile bright-white type which felt cold and uncomfortable. We ended up using the TV screen for ambient room lighting. It’s a small detail, but to us it made a big difference. 3. The on-site ATM only dispensed US dollars. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at the Westin Resort and Spa."
