Guests appreciate the updated decor, comfortable bedding, and ocean-facing balconies alongside convenient dining options like Casa Madre and 750 Pizzeria. However, reviewers regularly note that evening entertainment echoes through the central courtyard into nearby rooms, and some rear rooms look out over an empty dirt lot. 1352210

Service41 mentions · 4 filmed
- “Pool service at Secrets is well above average. They have proactive pool concierges who introduce themselves, help with towels, adjust umbrellas, and check in throughout the day.” 4
- “Drink/food service at the pool is also well above average at Secrets, though it varied day to day.” 4
- “Casa Madre (Mexican Table Service) - You'd think being in Mexico would give this spot an automatic advantage, but somehow, it missed the mark. The meat was tough, the sauces were bland” 3
- “In fact, at one point when I was exploring the JW Marriott side, I got a bit lost, and a concierge stopped what she was doing and walked me all the way back to the Marriott. It's that feeling of going the extra mile that made this stay stand out.” 12
- “The resort's rooms and amenities were high quality, and the service was consistently great.” 19
- “Camp Club is a great option if you want to take some time for yourself, perhaps for a gym workout or a massage. Or, it's great if your kids want to spend some time with other kids. The staff is very enthusiastic, and the overall vibe is exciting and fun.” 11
- “The staff and service were also highlights for us.” 17
- “At night, turndown service placed comfy robes and slippers and chocolates near the bed to maximize coziness.” 5
- “All of the servers were kind, helpful, and friendly, so no complaints there.” 3
- “The impressive, idyllic Caribbean Sea setting, newly renovated resort with a sophisticated simplicity that pays homage to the sun and sea along with the variety of dining experiences, attentive staff and kid and family-focused activities makes this an ideal resort for a family vacation.” 10
- “Guests consistently highlight the attentive service, particularly noting staff members who go the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay.” 18
- “One of the standout aspects? The service on the beach (and at the pool) is excellent! The staff is attentive, keeping drinks flowing and making sure you're taken care of while you soak up the sun.” 3
- “Ono Izakaya (Japanese Table Service): I chose Ono Izakaya for our first night, and that was a mistake! Nothing we ordered was good.” 3
- “Secrets' dinner service is average. Not as great at checking in on drinks etc., but still in line with typical AI service. Their servers clearly handle more tables.” 4
- “Service was good, everyone was so nice” 7
- “My favorite dish was the French toast. That's usually the case, but the French toast at Hana was especially good. It was nice and custardy.” 19
- “The pool seating areas also have waiter service. We found the service to be frequent and quick.” 19
- “Hana (Polynesian Cuisine) - This was the standout for table service. Mr. Toasty Tourist raved about his prime rib, and we both loved the mushroom side dish (seriously, order it).” 3
- “The chicken wrap was just fine. It came with French fries, which were nice and crispy despite having traveled some unknown distance across the hotel.” 19
- “as a new all-inclusive resort the Marriott Cancun has hit the ground running with a gorgeous Beach spectacular drinks an excellent range of delicious food choices and super happy staff” On camera87:07
- “The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.” 22
- “I also recommend it to families with kids (provided your kids can sit still enough not to crawl on the hot grill) since the service is fast and entertaining.” 19
- “The complimentary toiletries were of high quality, and there were plenty of towels for everyone.” 22
- “The staff were great. With the exception of the night at the Italian restaurant, we never experienced slow service. Everyone was happy to help.” 17
- “We will go through the major amenities below - pool, spa, beach, and fitness center. They also offer a Kid's Camp - for more questions about that, email [email protected] (they are very responsive).” 3
- “I've visited multiple all-inclusives in Cancun and the Riviera Maya over the past 20 years, and by far, the restaurants, rooms and overall level of attention to detail and service for an American brand is unparalleled.” 12
- “We had some delicious tacos and this yummy drink. So, make sure to check out this bar.” On camera2110:15
- “Waiters were helpful and always happy to recommend their favorite dishes while bartenders were eager to make whatever drink my heart desired.” 5
- “The food and drinks were delicious and the staff were exceptional.” On camera2115:38
- “as you approach you are welcomed into the resort by the happiest staff we have encountered in Cancun marot obviously treats its staff well and that translates into a better vacation for you” On camera80:36
- “Once you're inside the resort, everything is included, but unfortunately there is no complimentary airport shuttle service provided by the resort.” 5
- “I recommend the fish tacos. This ceviche and taco bar was the first place we ate at during our visit to the Marriott Cancun, and it was a great place to start. The food was good, as was the service.” 19
- “The check-in process at the Marriott Cancun All-Inclusive Resort is smooth and efficient.” 22
- “The staff is incredibly welcoming and ready to assist with a smile.” 22
- “The food was bland, the service slow, and the atmosphere felt like an airport food court.” 17
- “The pool bars - Both the main and adult pool had swim-up pool bars. Waiters also would bring drinks around to the loungers. We only ever ordered from the bars, but never had a problem waiting for drinks. Service was friendly, as were the guests.” 20
- “Mo's (American Counter Service): Their milkshakes were an affrontery to milkshakes everywhere with their chalky texture and taste. The burgers were acceptable, but the "poutine" was just weird” 3
- “Housekeeping was also very attentive. The resort offers nightly turn-down service while you're at dinner, which I think is a really helpful thing at a beach resort where guests are coming in and out with water and sand all day.” 17
- “From receiving my wristband upon arrival to when they cut it off at departure, the staff was warm and welcoming throughout the property.” 5
- “Tommiku (not spelling that correctly) Service was horrendous there. A lot of people eating around walked out. Took 90 min to get our entrees” 4
- “Now, the check-in process left a bit to be desired. It took longer than we expected-though, to be fair, we may have been less patient after a long travel day and battling through Cancun traffic for our shuttle.” 3

- “The food and drinks were delicious and the staff were exceptional.” On camera2115:38
- “I don't know if things changed a lot or those people just got unlucky but we ate at almost every restaurant and the food was great across the board.” 9
- “When I visited Unico last December, I was surprised that they got rid of their lunch buffet and offers waiter served lunch service. I was so disappointed with this change because I just want to go in from the pool or beach, pick out what I want, eat and go back to lounging. The waiter service takes so long and I had to choose from a limited menu.” 4
- “Mikado (teppanyaki): Hibachi-style dinner with a genuinely skilled chef, great food, great service.” 7
- “This was a great flavor combination, sort of like a pineapple upside-down tres leches cake. Our dinner at Hana Polynesian Grill was an excellent meal, with consistently great service like the other Marriott Cancun restaurants.” 19
- “Casa Madre is the standout. It's the Mexican restaurant, open air, they had a mariachi band one night and a small Mayan dance performance another.” 9
- “With kids in the 4 to 10 range the combination of the brand new everything, the food being solid, the CAMP Club being so well done, and the hotel zone beach is hard to beat.” 9
- “These options include tasting menus, cooking classes, top-shelf spirits, and bottles of wine. We found the regular food and drink options to be more than good enough for us, so we didn't upgrade.” 19
- “You can skip the hike to the lobby and enjoy à la carte near the pool. That said the buffet prime rib at Moxché is probably the best free beef you'll get at either resort.” 4
- “Skip the desserts they were awful. Honestly a lot of the restaurant desserts were the most disappointing” 4
- “Kasai Izakaya is one of my favorite restaurants at the Marriott Cancun. The izakaya items were grilled to perfection, and all of the sushi was fresh.” 19
- “These sorts of touches aren't absolutely necessary at an all-inclusive resort, but it's nice that the Marriott Cancun is making that effort. We also enjoyed the desserts, which included matcha crème brûlée and tapioca pudding.” 19
- “Hibachi. Was also really good and you got a nice dinner and show. The banana tempura and vanilla ice cream was really good” 4
- “Sal. Brisket tacos and the salads were really good. The NY strips lacked flavor but cooked perfectly. The short rib special was the high light, they had the best desserts.” 4
- “In addition, room service was included. I ordered a few desserts or snacks in the evening. It always came relatively quickly. And it was nice to get to eat on our balcony.” 17
- “Spinning utensils, fire on the grill, spinning eggs, a rice heart, and an onion volcano, you know the highlights if you've ever been to one. That's no slight on the Marriott Cancun teppanaki, as our chef was great. He was entertaining, and all of the food was cooked perfectly.” 19
- “Botanika is the Lebanese spot, smaller menu but solid hummus and shawarma.” 9
- “The food was bland, the service slow, and the atmosphere felt like an airport food court.” 17
- “Breakfast was standard for a resort of this size. I've seen better buffet spreads, but it had the essentials. I liked the fresh fruit and the made-to-order eggs station.” 17
- “Beachwalk restaurant and bar is a casual option and it's in the main pool area where they serve you more typical bar food and drinks. And here's their menu. They have lots of yummy food here.” On camera218:01
- “Since there's a limited number of stations, this is the only meal that requires reservations at the resort (which can be handled at check-in). Planning ahead is worth it though, since you'll get generous portions of seafood, chicken or beef plus fried rice and grilled vegetables, all made to order by a skilled teppanyaki chef who cooks right in front of you.” 5
- “Sacbé Beach Shack: Every beach destination needs a beach shack. And Marriott Cancun has its casual and bohemian version. The delightful eatery open for lunch and dinner features a laid-back ambience with hammocks and swings and serves a limited menu of Mexican-inspired beach bites along with a full cocktail menu.” 10
- “Poolside lunch: Shrimp ceviche and guacamole, both fresh and flavorful.” 7
- “The food at Grand Fiesta is also strong, Le Basilic is amazing. But the rooms there are outdated, you can tell its an older property.” 9
- “I recommend the fish tacos. This ceviche and taco bar was the first place we ate at during our visit to the Marriott Cancun, and it was a great place to start. The food was good, as was the service.” 19
- “While I generally prefer being able to go to one of the resort restaurants to get freshly prepared food and/or select things at a buffet, the room service was decent, and the service was good (as it consistently was throughout our stay).” 19
- “We dined there on our last evening, and I enjoyed a tuna tartare appetizer, a delicious cheese-wheel pasta dish as my entree, and tiramisu for dessert. We ate outside, with a great view of the pool.” 11
- “HANA Polynesian Grill: Offers a taste of the islands. The restaurant is open for an impressive buffet breakfast (with a special section just for the kids), along with Polynesian-inspired dinner offerings with both indoor and outdoor seating.” 10
- “Casa Madre (breakfast): Watermelon juice, Bloody Marys, chilaquiles, scrambled eggs, churros, and genuinely excellent spicy salsas if you like heat.” 7
- “There's one disappointing restaurant at the Marriott Cancun: Mo's Burgers & Shakes. The concept is based on a 50s diner. With a simple menu of just a few items, it's important to get them all right. However, Mo's falls short.” 19
- “The food receives frequent praise, with many finding the variety and quality across the resort's restaurants to be a significant draw.” 18
- “Breakfast buffets are about the same, maybe a slight edge to Moxché. Their bakery is significantly higher quality, and overall buffet presentation is nicer.” 4
- “Mikado is the teppanyaki side with the chef show which my kids LOVED, the fire trick had them screaming.” 9
- “All of the food and drinks were excellent. Casa Madre has the most original dishes of any of the restaurants at the Marriott Cancun, and of course, also the most local. I highly recommend going.” 19
- “Oh, and for the coffee lovers, Organic & Co. Cafe and Bakery had THE BEST iced coffee! We definitely started every morning with a beverage from there.” 22
- “For breakfast, we loved the buffet option every morning. The variety was impressive, with everything from fresh fruits and pastries to made-to-order omelets and traditional Mexican dishes.” 22
- “Lots of dining options, from grab-and-go to elegant (pizza & Japanese were our favs)” 17
- “Food at all-inclusive resorts can often be mediocre. However, the Mexican food here was particularly stellar, with delightful surprises like a roaming tamale cart wheeled through the lobb” 5
- “The Marriott Cancun Resort features eight restaurants, a coffee shop and a lobby bar, and according to previous guests, a memorable breakfast buffet at La Capilla Argentine Steakhouse.” 15
- “The desserts were also good. I especially enjoyed the tres leches cake with pineapple and ice cream. This was a great flavor combination, sort of like a pineapple upside-down tres leches cake.” 19
- “Slop buffet for lunch. Near physical fights over a folding chair during the slop lunch.” 4
- “Beautiful dining room with floor to ceiling windows looking out over the pool and ocean. We did the seafood pasta and a tenderloin and both were great.” 9
- “Toscanni, with both indoor and outdoor seating, is the Italian restaurant at the Marriott Cancun. We dined there on our last evening, and I enjoyed a tuna tartare appetizer, a delicious cheese-wheel pasta dish as my entree, and tiramisu for dessert.” 11
- “I recall Le Blanc offered it when I was there a year or two ago. Are they still? But then again. I wasn't so crazy about their buffet.” 4
- “Ok, this is an all-inclusive, so I gotta start with the food. Overall, the food was pretty solid, though, not spectacular.” 17
- “Coffee at breakfast was just ok which surprised me, I ended up walking to the lobby bar most mornings to get a real one before the kids woke up.” 9
- “Casa Madre (dinner): Quesa birria tacos were amazing. Chicken tacos were fine, nothing special. Mole enchiladas were fantastic.” 7
- “Casa Madre also offers dinner on some evenings. I ate there one night and loved everything I tried.” 11
- “Hana Polynesian Grill - This restaurant is where the main breakfast buffet is every morning. Indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast was standard for a resort of this size. I've seen better buffet spreads, but it had the essentials.” 20
- “Casa Madre is my favorite restaurant on the property. Located under a collection of palapas, Casa Madre offers Mexican cuisine.” 11
- “Mo's Burgers & Shakes - Our next favorite spot after the Japanese place. An American-style retro diner with fun energy serving up burgers, shakes, and comfort food. My veggie burger was fantastic, and Clara was obsessed with the milkshakes.” 17
- “The open-air restaurant is a nice way to start your day. When we went, it was the less crowded of the two buffets, though neither had a wait, and both had food that was kept replenished.” 19
- “Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort's main shortcomings appear to be its dated interior design in some areas and occasional inconsistencies in food quality across its various restaurants.” 18
- “Casa Madre's breakfast buffet - Solid selection with some good options.” 3
- “In addition to the proteins, you'll get soup or salad, fried rice, vegetables, and dessert. It's a lot of food, and all of it was excellent.” 11
- “Lemon fish was our favorite but not open Fri-sun The ceviches for appetizers were delish and our absolute favorite was the octopus.” 4
- “Valentin's dinner service was well above average. Restaurants were never crowded, and service felt close to good U.S. restaurant service-drinks topped off, waiter always nearby, pacing between apps/entrees good, etc.” 4
- “Valentin's best food overall might actually be the lunch buffet. They serve such a ridiculous amount of options that by brute force you're bound to find something great-or at least something you're in the mood for.” 4
- “the food and drink throughout the resort are some of the best I have had at an all-inclusive resort in Cancun and I have been to quite a few” On camera82:52
- “My partner Clara and I especially liked the wide range of included restaurants, the expansive pools, and the nightly musical performances.” 17
- “750 Pizzería - This place was awesome, and much more than a pizza place (though the grab-and-go slices were great). It's also a cafe serving many coffee drinks, plus a grab-and-go with fruit, wraps, and snacks.” 17
- “Overall, I found the variety of dining options to be one of the resort's biggest strengths, especially for families who may want different options throughout the day.” 11
- “as a new all-inclusive resort the Marriott Cancun has hit the ground running with a gorgeous Beach spectacular drinks an excellent range of delicious food choices and super happy staff” On camera87:07
- “While the dining variety is praised, a subset of reviewers found the food quality to be inconsistent across the different venues, with some experiences falling short of expectations.” 18
- “I've visited multiple all-inclusives in Cancun and the Riviera Maya over the past 20 years, and by far, the restaurants, rooms and overall level of attention to detail and service for an American brand is unparalleled.” 12
- “Hadar buffet. Was one of our favorites. Breakfast was basically the same every day. So much fresh fruit Lunch was mixed up daily.” 4
- “Poolside taco cart: Chorizo and pork tacos. Honestly might have been the best food of the entire trip.” 7
- “Italian Restaurant - This place was a disaster and the only one we really did not like. It's not even really its own restaurant, it's just the (small) upstairs terrace of the Polynesian restaurant.” 20
- “Izakaya Cuisine - This Japanese restaurant was our favorite and we ended up just coming back here night after night because, in my opinion, it's a step above the other dining experiences at the resort. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared, presented, and delicious.” 17
- “The banana tempura and vanilla ice cream was really good There is also a lounge where you can grab food and drinks as well. There is also a lounge where you can grab food and drinks as well. It's self service. The ceviches there were really good and change daily.” 4
- “Lava cake and Manzanas and pistachio (deconstructed apple pie) were our favorites We had lunch at sante. We had lunch at sante. Food was just alright. We got the seafood pasta. Noodles were over under cooked. Shrimp ceviche was was really good and better than the fish ceviche” 4
- “casa madre is more mexican focused like i mentioned, hana has more of an asian/polynesian leaning breakfast plus the standard eggs/fruit/pastry stuff. id say try both at least once because they have totally different vibes. casa madre being open air is also amazing in the morning when its still cool out” 9
- “Lunch This is where the extra money at Moxché starts to show. This is where the extra money at Moxché starts to show. À la carte lunches were generally very good-significantly better than Valentin.” 4
- “Hana Polynesian Grill also has an excellent dinner. While the resort is, of course, not in Polynesia, Cancun's tropical vibes still suit the cuisine.” 19
- “Hadar buffet. Was one of our favorites. Breakfast was basically the same every day. So much fresh fruit” 4
- “I especially loved the breakfast here, because in addition to standard American breakfast options like made-to-order eggs, bacon, sausage, and fruit, they also have Mexican breakfast specialties. I loved the empanadas, tostadas, and chilaquiles.” 11
- “Perhaps this was because we went later in the morning, or perhaps a lot of people skip breakfast. It's their loss, as both breakfast buffets at the resort are good.” 19
- “I feel like my food my din last night was a little overcooked but aside from that I feel like as far as the quality of my stomach I'm feeling fine” On camera67:43
- “Lunch was often enjoyed at the beachfront restaurant SacBé Beach Shack or poolside! The fish tacos and ceviche were fresh and delicious, and the laid-back atmosphere was perfect for a mid-day meal.” 22
- “The combination of beautiful location, comfortable rooms, delicious food, and top-notch amenities made for a memorable family vacation.” 22
- “And the beachside Cevicheria is a classic example of quality fresh seafood. Open for lunch and dinner, the casual eatery not only serves some incredible seafood and vegetarian-inspired ceviche, but sports an on-site taco cart with a selection of freshly-prepared taco choices.” 10
- “Mexican Cuisine - Located in front, with open-air style seating. The presentation was good but the food we had was only ok.” 17
- “Spoiler: With a few exceptions, the Marriott Cancun has excellent food and drinks, putting it high on my list of all-inclusives to return to.” 19
- “The Marriott Experience app (available for both iOS & Android) provides details about the hotel, including restaurant hours and menus. This app works well and helps you figure out what is open each day and the times each spot is open, since not everything is available every day, depending on how busy the resort is.” 19
- “Coffee shop: Egg sandwiches and cappuccinos were just okay. The donuts, somehow, were excellent.” 7
- “This is also the best place at the Marriott Cancun for coffee drinks. While other restaurants and bars at the resort have basic coffee, if you prefer specialty coffee and tea, it's worth the detour to Organic & Co. We went there every day for iced coffee drinks.” 19
- “À la carte lunches were generally very good-significantly better than Valentin. Valentin isn't bad, but it's closer to what I'd call "AI quality." Moxché is much closer to "real life" restaurant quality.” 4
- “all right guys so after waiting forever our food finally came out” On camera66:39
- “The food at Grand Fiesta is also strong, Le Basilic is amazing.” 9
- “To the delight of many visitors, Mo's, open for lunch and dinner, is an homage to the golden age of burger counters and shake shops. Its Mighty Mo Classic is a must-do along with its incredible shakes and classic desserts.” 10
- “The food is tasty, and the salads are nice and light.” 19
- “Though the one at Hana Polynesian Grill with its made-to-order omelet bar and other American fare like pancakes and cereal is decent, head straight to Casa Madre every morning for its standout Mexican breakfast buffet.” 5
- “Dinners at Moxché are extremely good. Most dishes are creative, interesting, and pass the "would a real restaurant serve this?" test.” 4
- “I went to Haven Riviera Cancún 2 weeks ago and it was a very good experience for my first time solo traveling. I wish the dairy free options where better (and there was more of it) and that I didn't need to make reservations for dinner every night.” 4
- “Mikado Teppanyaki is the resort's teppanyaki restaurant. We dined there for the first time, and were so impressed with the huge amount of delicious food served.” 11

- “A recurring point of criticism for Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort is that certain areas of the property feel dated, with some guests noting that the decor and furnishings could benefit from modernization.” 18
- “The newly renovated rooms featured a light and airy color scheme with tan and blue rugs, blond wood furniture and a palm tree mural behind the beds.” 5
- “Comfortable rooms with fluffy bedding, classic decor, and panoramic ocean views” 13
- “The room itself was nice/modern, though a bit mildewy and didn't get below 71 at night.” 4
- “What I loved most about the whole resort was the intimacy of the layout.” 12
- “And, though comfortable enough, our standard room was pretty small in size.” 17
- “CasaMagba's 450 comfortably sized rooms feature fine decor details such as decorative woods, crown molding ceiling trim, textured walls, and area rugs.” 13
- “Mid-range category rooms have large marble bathrooms with separate toilet rooms and tub/shower combos, surprisingly sparse balconies overlooking the pool and sea, and open floor plans that includes sofa bed sitting areas and small work/dining tables.” 13
- “The main bedroom had a comfy king-size bed with crisp white sheets, a 55-inch flat screen TV, and views of the Caribbean Sea and beach below.” 5
- “In particular, I felt like the decor was a little drab. It kinda gave me hospital vibes.” 17
- “While the vibe is contemporary, the design of the hotel feels a bit dated, with a plain stucco exterior and a layout that could be more intuitive (the elevators for all rooms are on one side of the hotel, and there are non-direct routes from point A to B).” 13
- “Because of the resort's layout, most have gorgeous views of the beach and/or the resort.” 11
- “The rooms themselves were comfortable enough, but honestly felt a little basic. In terms of furniture, we had a table, a chair, a dresser, a TV, and basically nothing else.” 17
- “The renovation took the resort, originally built in 1990, and brought it into the 21st century, swapping the hacienda-style decor popular in the 1990s for a more sleek and stylish design with terrazzo floors, beige and blue velvet seating in the lobby bar, and light wood accents throughout the 450 guest rooms and suites.” 5
- “Our balcony view included not only the turquoise waters but also a peek at the JW Marriott next door (which, unlike this resort, is not all-inclusive). A pretty solid start to the stay!” 3
- “The included mini bar. I liked the extra fridge space, where we stored fruit, yogurt, & snacks from the grab-and-go” 17
- “The room also had a mini-fridge, which was stocked daily with water, soft drinks, and snacks. This was a lifesaver for those early-morning or late-night cravings.” 22
- “The balcony was by far the best part of the room” 17
- “Overall, the room was solid, if basic and drab.” 17
- “Rooms have marble bathrooms, classic decor touches, and comfortable beds, but can feature slightly dated technology.” 13
- “The warm-neutrals decor is paired-down-similar to all Marriotts' clean minimalist aesthetic.” 12
- “Some guest room balconies can be fairly small and sparse” 13
- “in the room like I said it's really nice and clean it smells good I truly have no complaints” On camera62:52
- “Our Room at Marriott Cancun All-Inclusive The rooms at the Marriott Cancun All-Inclusive Resort are spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We stayed in an oceanfront room with a balcony, and the view was absolutely gorgeous.” 22
- “after check-in I was taken to my Ocean View room and the room was stunning with elegant creams wood accents and soft Fabrics” On camera81:08
- “The room I had, a king bed room, was extremely comfortable. It offered a large shower, a separate toilet area, a mini bar, a private balcony, a safe, a small table, deluxe amenities, and more.” 11
- “Wi-Fi is free in public areas, even as far out as the beach, but will cost you if you want reliable access in your room.” 13
Bathroom7 mentions · 2 filmed
- “the bathroom was on the smaller side but has everything you need with a sink a walk-in shower and separate toilet area” On camera81:38
- “Bathroom was modern, big walk in shower, tile floors easy to clean with sand all over.” 9
- “Mid-range category rooms have large marble bathrooms with separate toilet rooms and tub/shower combos, surprisingly sparse balconies overlooking the pool and sea, and open floor plans that includes sofa bed sitting areas and small work/dining tables.” 13
- “I wish there was a separate door for the toilet, especially for families or groups” 17
- “the bath products by this works were some of the best I have had at any all-inclusive hotel” On camera81:45
- “The bathroom was modern and spacious.” 22
- “this is the bathroom toilet room really small but it does the trick if you come in for just a little regular getaway then I think this place is perfect” 6
Location9 mentions · 1 filmed
- “Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort is worth booking if you prioritize a wide range of dining options, a beautiful beachfront location, and a generally lively atmosphere.” 18
- “Location wise its in the best part of the hotel zone in my opinion, the section where the beaches are nicest.” 9
- “The combination of beautiful location, comfortable rooms, delicious food, and top-notch amenities made for a memorable family vacation.” 22
- “However, because the resort rests atop a long driveway off the main road, the restaurants and shops dotting Kukulcan Boulevard are not really within walking distance, leaving guests (especially those without cars) to the selection of on-site or neighboring eateries, bars, and shops.” 15
- “The location is excellent too - right in the middle of the Hotel Zone, less than 30 minutes from the airport.” 7
- “This resort is right in the middle of Cancun's Hotel Zone, so if you aren't looking for crowds, you will want to go elsewhere. It was nice being so close to the airport, although you never know if Cancun traffic will cooperate! We used a private transfer service for airport pickup and dropoff.” 3
- “Beyond other big resorts and a couple of outside restaurants within walking distance, there's really not much to explore in the direct area.” On camera210:46
- “There was plenty of entertainment and activities provided both day and night so that I never felt the need to leave the resort - however, its central location makes it easy to get around if you do want to explore the rest of Cancun.” 5
- “The beachfront location is another recurring positive, offering easy access to the sand and sea.” 18
Value9 mentions
- “Valentin is not bad, but I'd call it just OK and in line with what I'd expect at this price point. The menus are less interesting, and most dishes were "fine" rather than "great." I'd probably rank Valentin's dinners near the bottom of the resorts I've been to” 4
- “The rooms felt a bit drab in decor, especially for a resort at this price point.” 17
- “God_Baco • 12d ago Thanks for the info, really helpful! We plan to stay there in Nov with the family and 2 kids for Thanksgiving, the rates are very high.” 9
- “Cost wise the resort feels worth the value for money, we paid around $450/night which I thought was fair for what you get.” 9
- “The spacious rooms and well-maintained grounds also contribute to a feeling of value and comfort at Marriott Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort.” 18
- “shoulder season is generally great value.” 9
- “dollars, it's not their currency, and they'll face exchange fees. Our room was cleaned well every day, and the minibar was stocked to our satisfaction (TIP: leave a note with an extra tip requesting anything you would like more of” 3
- “Starting at just $499 per night, per room in low-season, the resort's rates are well-priced among the competition in” 12
- “Valentin is not bad, but I'd call it just OK and in line with what I'd expect at this price point. The menus are less interesting, and most dishes were "fine" rather than "great."” 4
Bed & Sleep2 mentions
Noise3 mentions
- “While the sounds of the ocean waves were lovely, the center courtyard outside created an echo effect, and you could hear all the fun from the lobby for a bit at night, but it seemed not to be an issue past 10 p.m. or so.” 12
- “You can also grab a drink and go to the outdoor space, which is more chill and often has live musical performances. There's also bar-style food like burgers and wings, but you have to sit inside (something I found annoying, as the inside had music that was too loud for our preferred chill vibe).” 20
- “Noise levels, particularly from evening entertainment or surrounding areas, can be an issue for those seeking quiet.” 18
View2 mentions
- “We figured it was unlikely it was that bad, or worse case scenario we could pay to upgrade. It was not an exaggeration, the back half of the hotel is currently overlooking a bare dirt lot, and beyond that another hotel. Really, really poor. They should not call the room tropical view room.” 4
- “The walkway is lined with greenery and inviting seating areas, making for a pleasant first impression. There is a bit of a wow moment when you step inside-the first thing you see is the stunning ocean view framed through a glass wall directly across the entrance.” 3
