WOW

My fiance and I stayed here with the Red Level benefits. And we have been to a several hotels, but the overall feel, friendliness, the luxury of the Red Level Service, location and everything inbetween was a winner. We chose this hotel because of its design (pyramid shape) we weren't disappointed. If you are looking to chill out this is THE place. We had a king size bed, beach view room with our own balcony. To think we ordered room service, charged a few things to the room and uesd the mini bar and we only spent just under £200 in our stay was fab. Food was delicious. So gorgeous inside and out and the pools are right there close to the beach, so you can do both without having to choose. And everything is charged in Pesos. :-)

There's a bus stop right outside the hotel which is better to use for getting into town and cheap 6-8 pesos. instead of calling a taxi.

Just Beautiful

We just returned from a fabulous week at the Gran Melia in Cancun. The hotel is beyond beautiful. The lobby with its soaring ceilings and plants puts you right into a tropical paradise. The beach is clean and close. The pool was sparkling and the bar was close. The rooms were spacious and well maintained. Location is fabulous right across the street from Aqua World where you could board a boat to Isles Mujares or snorkling on the reef. Food was very good and plentiful. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

change your money in the hotel. The conversion rates are as good an anywhere else and it will be easy. Also, take the bus wherever you want to go. It is totally unnecessary to rent a car.

A favorite in Cancun

I've stayed in several hotels in Cancun and this one was one of my favorites. I want to qualify this by saying that I don't stay in the all-inclusives. I transferred to this hotel after a terrible experience at the Bel Air, and I was more than happy I had made the change. The main pool is gorgeous; my only complaint is that they play the music fairly loud and it is nearly impossible to escape the noise other than going to sit by the quieter, smaller pool. The rooms are staggered so that there is a lot of privacy and even though I didn't have an ocean view, I enjoyed the sunset lagoon side. The staff was very welcoming.
