The Westin Resort & Spa, Cancun

Great beach!

Ventajas: Sandy, great to swim in beach that's even has a lifeguard. Cozy beds and cool AC in rooms. Great views. Wonderful staff. Tasty buffet breakfast. Free parking. Great location. Overall great place.

Desventajas: Noise from present renovations and bathrooms near beach/ pool could use more frequent service.

A nice beach resort

Ventajas: Beaches

Desventajas: Breakfast too expensive

Ventajas: They upgraded us to an Ambassador suite. Best sleep of our entire vacation. Loved the beach and the pool. We reveled in the torrential thunder and lightning while enjoying our rack of lamb, pizza and martinis at the BBQ restaurant under the palapa. Service was great too. Nice view from both balconies in our room.

Just delightful

Ventajas: If you aren't into the party scene, this hotel is located well away from the main "strip" in Cancun. The food is excellent and the menus offer multiple healthy options. The hotel is also very environmentally friendly. Staff is the friendliest we've encountered. They all work very hard but still take the time to be pleasant.

Desventajas: A little inconsistent about which restaurants will be open on any given night

Pleasant with no surprises

Ventajas: I particularly appreciated the excellent English of the front desk staff.

Desventajas: Internet should be free.

Really great value!

Ventajas: We went to cancun for a wedding that was being held at another resort, but we couldn't stay for their 3 day minimum, so we decided to stay at the Westin, and couldn't have been happier! First, we got a great deal on kayak on a non-all inclusive package (because we were going to attend events at the wedding and some of our meals were covered). That being said, the food we did pay for was not all that outrages (ranging from $15-$30/meal per person). In addition, they had a few really great buffets that were around $25/person, and well worth it. Having attended a wedding at a more luxurious resort, we also had the opportunity to compare the two. (One of the wedding guests got food poisoning at the other resort, so we were glad that we didn't stay there). Also, the beach at the Westin was prettier and cleaner! They also had two additional pools, and plenty of rooms to stretch out. In addition, you can book all of your tours from the resort (we did parasailing), but you could do much more! The gym was adequate as well--there were 5 treadmills, a few ellipticals, some exercise bikes, and some weights)

Desventajas: There was internet in the lobby that was free, but in order for you to get internet in your rooms there was a charge for $25. The gift shop was really expensive.
