Stay Report - 11/14 to 11/16
Location: The hotel is located right in the center of the Cancun Hotel Zone on a beautiful stretch of beach between the Live Aqua and Park Royal Hotels. As a bonus it's across from the upscale Fashion Harbour Mall which has a number of restaurants and stores. It's an easy 20 minute drive to the airport and within 10 minutes of the hotel are some great restaurants.
Hotel: The hotel is part of a sprawling property consisting of 14 different buildings with rooms and another few for the rest of the amenities. The complex is roughly divided into two parts, the west part which has the main pools, pool bar, beach access and the east wing which has smaller pools. The east wing is currently closed. As of right now there is only a sports bar and the pool bar open for dining. Valet parking is also shut down though annoyingly the app didn't mention this. The hotel's fitness center is open as is a small store in the lower lobby.
Check In: The check in agents were very nice about me being Titanium and were very helpful explaining how the hotel worked. I got 1,000 points as a welcome amenity but as this is a timeshare, no breakfast benefit. The concierge did provide us with a free Westin tote bag though.
Room: I'd paid for an ocean front villa and it was a really nice room. Huge kitchen with great fixtures, washer dryer (a big plus), great bathroom with a whirlpool tub, separate shower and two sinks, comfortable bed and a balcony. Wifi worked well and there were plenty of outlets. My view was somewhat disappointing especially as the check in agent claimed he was "upgrading" me to a great view. Still, excellent room.
Dining: We had drinks and breakfast at the pool bar. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for a resort (approximately $9 per mixed drink, $15 for breakfast) and the food was pretty good. Service was also excellent. The lunch and dinner menus are pretty limited though I didn't check out the sports bar.
Resort: The beach and pools are lovely. No issues getting chairs, umbrellas or towels either.
Overall a very pleasant stay at a nice resort. I'd gladly come back.
