Comfortable stay but lacking

Hola! We stayed in Now Emerald Cancun for five nights as a couple. I’ll break down my review into sections for a more thorough review: CLEANLINESS: 5/5 We felt like the resort was very clean! The room was well-kept, I didn’t see any bugs in the room or the resort and everything always looked well kept. Especially since Covid, I feel like cleanliness more than ever is appreciated and we felt like the restaurants, bars, rooms and hallways were well managed. BARS: 4/5 service was amazing. They were attentive and kind. Loved how when we were in the adult pool, they tended to us and brought us drinks which I know a few resorts don’t really offer (usually you go to bar to be served). The drinks were well blended, we drank frozen margaritas and they didn’t use the pre made mix slushy stuff which was awesome. Now in terms of *Bar availability*, 2/5. Most bars closed at 11pm. The lobby bar closed at midnight. If drinking past midnight is important to you, I wouldn’t recommend this. They also advertised as having a disco, however this was closed during our stay which is unfortunate as I’ve been to many resorts and they’ve always had a bar open late and a disco. FOOD: 3.5/5 buffet. Breakfast was my favourite meal and shout-out to the staff who made fresh fruit smoothies catered to your ingredients! This was a huge selling point to me as I have shakes daily. A little disappointed when I order huevos rancheros (my favourite breakfast) and it was just two heated tortillas with some eggs and sauce thrown on it, nothing special. I can get better huevos in Toronto. What’s important is, I almost always get sick after resorts in Cuba/DR and didn’t here, so cleanliness is on point. There is also no late bar snacks restaurant. But they do leave out hot tables with burgers, fries and hot dogs if you are hungry. It came in clutch after a night at Coco Bongo, even if food was cold. There is room service however we did not utilize it. 4.5/5 restaurants were great! I love that you didn’t have to reserve a spot or were limited to your choices. On the first night we went to the buffet and there was slim pickings there, I guess it was because everyone was at the restaurants. We had a fantastic time at Panamour (French) and Spice (Asian). As our top favourites. Italian was not good. Shout out to the coffee bar who made amazing lattes and teas! ENTERTAINMENT: 2/5 the staff tried but the programming was really small and not present at all. There’s no real stage where there’s evening performers and if it rains, shows are cancelled. This happened 2 times for us. It’s a smaller resort so there’s just not much to do there. BEACH/POOL: Beach 1/5: unfortunately the beach area is really small. There chairs are nice to lay in but limited and we never felt like we had to reserve our spots because there was always something to find. Seaweed amounts was unbelievable which made it hard to enjoy the beach itself. Most people hung by the pool anyways. If beach matters to you, this resort isn’t it. Pools 5/5: we took really pretty pictures and I believe this is the selling the point of the resort. It has nice vantage points. Adult pool needs better music though, we felt the resort catered more to the main area and not enough to adult pool area. They played odd elevator music at the adult pool and it just kind of killed the vibe BUT it was nice and quiet. Overall we did enjoy our stay and we were definitely comfortable. If you’re looking for a small, quiet resort, this is a great option. If you’re looking for a lot of entertainment and party vibes, I wouldn’t recommend it. Bonus points to not waiting long for restaurants.…

Great Trip - LOTS of Stairs!

I traveled with my mom, 7-month old son, and nephew. We were celebrating my nephew's high school graduation. I felt the food and staff at the resort were top notch. We never had to wait to be seated at any restaurant, it never felt crowded. They promptly gave us a crib for the baby to sleep in and the room was generally comfortable. We did lose power for a few hours of our stay a few months ago, but that's not something the resort can change. There's a really cute kids section. The only downside is the amount of STAIRS. Not ideal when you have an infant with a stroller. That's the only way to even get to the buffet (no elevator) so not sure how they cater to ADA guests. Overall, our stay was comfortable and we all enjoyed our time.

Horrible resort stay away - Cancun,Mx

Disappointed to say the least! Resort is very outdated and was not well maintained, AC not working I'm my room, broken tiles in the resort, broken cement around the pool area, water leaking from the ceiling in certain places and the resort had a moldy smell to it. Rooms had paper thin walls, we heard everything. One of the elevators did not have any lighting. People kept getting cut from missing tiles in the pool, which makes sense after we noticed blood stains around the pool area. The food was horrible and not much selections at the buffet. The restaurants were just ok nothing special. There are several restaurants in the city nearby which offer great food. The beach had seaweed and it was never cleaned by the resort staff. Overall not a great experience and not a true 5 star hotel. PS don't drink the tap water, ask for bottled water.…

Great Hospitality

I had a great stay at Now Emerald with my friends. The rooms were nice, the view was beautiful, and the staff was lovely. We especially had a great time getting to know Abinadab, aka Abi. He was very kind and went above and beyond with his service to us, making our stay extra memorable. He became our friend and not just our server by the end of our trip, we were sad to say goodbye!! Highly recommend this resort to travelers. Missing the view and pool already!

My birthday vacation

Great vacation. Alex from the main pool was very pleasant. Helped us every morning with pool side chairs for the whole day. The entertainment team was cool too. They sure know how to start the day. We'll be back.
