Fun in the sun!
We enjoyed our stay at the JW. It was a great choice for the holidays. The decor at the lobby was great with a huge Christmas tree and life size gingerbread house. It made the lobby smell great. The restaurants at the JW were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the Italian for dinner and Sedona grill for breakfast. The pool and beach area were very nice. Although we would like to see more amenities for children such as water slides or beach activities/events. Also, it would be great to upgrade the kids club as its dated and sub-par as compared to Hyatt kids and Ritz kids programs.

This Is The Life
So we normally are not big chain hotel people but after this stay we are reformed! A pest infestation in a palapa hut south of playa del carmen left us homeless on our one week vacation-- at least cell phone service/internet worked and we searched for a hotel and found JW Marriott Cancun. As soon as we got to the hotel, we knew we were in the right place--the doormen were welcoming and (so friendly the whole trip,) the well manicured grounds-- even the scent of the cool, grand lobby was perfect. Our room was immaculate, the bed was so comfy, the luxurious clean sheets, the soft towels and the wonderful balcony overlooking the most gorgeous crystal blue waters of the carribbean sea! Priceless. We sunned all day in the "adults only" part of the beach with food and drink service-- cold drinks and great food. The pool area is huge and expansive there is a place and a beach chair for everyone! We ate al fresco overlooking the sea at the breakfast buffett (it was complimentary with our internet deal) every morning. We had a rental car and it was free valet and easy to access when we went "out on the town" at night. The hotel is relatively quiet at night. We had such a good time. We will be back (on a couples trip or with the whole family) for sure!

Room service is accessible at all hours and we took advantage of the BEST BANANA SPLITS WORLD WIDE (the vanilla & strawberry ice cream, the nuts, the chocolate sauce, the whipped cream!) every single night to eat in bed!

Expected more out of JW
Service was not the best - attitude of people was not on par with a JW. Some were good. Concierge was pathetic... Would rather chat away on the phone and laugh and giggle rather than help. Directions/choices of the concierge left a lot to be desired. Food was ok at the Grill.. But choices were limited.

Fun and relaxing
We had only 3 days but it was well worth it. The room was spacious. The pool was huge and this time of year it was not very crowded. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool. We went on a snorkeling trip. The hotel has a travel desk where we booked a day trip to Chichen Itza. For 3 days we saw alot and still had time to relax. The price was reasonable.

Nice hotel but restaurants were so-so
Hung out at the hotel for a few but did various tours (Mayan ruins, Xcaret) on other days. Pool and beach were very nice - service on both was very good. The spa and health club facilities were wonderful. Food at the pool was decent but food at the hotel's restaurant was pretty bad - we were glad we did not take an all-inclusive package. There were good restaurnats within wlaking distnace as well as down-town
