Perfect location, Staff is attentive

Pros: I liked the staff's personal attention to catering us during our stay. The pool's length was useful, we never felt crowded or bothered.
Cons: The food could use some improvement, have more authentic flavor. The elevator in tower B was insanely slow.
Location: The location is perfect. You are right on the strip of the Hotel Zone, where you can step out and have a line of clubs to go to.
For the price and the amount of stars the Hotel has, its quality will surprise you. When we arrived our room was upgraded to a deluxe, giving us an ocean view. The stay overall was wonderful, the pool was large, there was access to the beach from the pool area. There is only one bar accessible from the pool which can be an inconvenience because if your not relaxing around that area your constantly swimming back and forth. For what we paid the hotel experience was more than what we can ask for. I can tell during my stay there that management is trying to do more for their customer's and that the hotel is on its way 4/5 stars. I would definitely be staying at a Krystal Hotel on my next visit.

The toilet was broke when we got there and broke at least once a day our entire stay. The ac didn't seem to work correctly although it was not hot it could have been cooler. When ordering room service the first time it took almost two hrs the second time the food was nasty. The view from the room was beautiful but overall i wouldn't stay there again

Trip was great due to company not because of hotel

Pros: close to party zone. Kiddie pool for my little ones.
Cons: Customer service. they didn't care to help or assist hotel guest even when you were willing to tip. People outside the hotel were friendlier.
Location: A lot of clubs nearby. Tacos los camineros really great customer service and food.
Lets start with the cons:Upon arriving and making line and finally making it to front desk we were directed to go to a different front desk to check -in. most people in line just didn't make line and the reception didn't care to take whoever was really next. We were finally given our room by a sweet lady name Sofia.Once we arrived to our room I realized it was not the room I had upgrade to on my reservation. I called Sofia and she directed to talk to original reception desk. Once there they said they only assigned the room based on the reservation. They stated if I could show them proof they could give me the right room. I had to walk back to the room and get print out. only one elevator working on tower B. took the stairs . Showed front desk reception. they were not able to accommodate because they were sold out. Middle of my trip the a/c went out. elevator worked half the time. Housekeeper would take the towels and when I would tell her not to clean room she would still enter. I asked her for a card so I could put outside my door but she never gave me one. Also for people with little ones. I would not recommend staying here as the balconies don't have locks. Waitresses took forever with drinks and would constantly forget orders. Pros: The beach is beautiful. Mexican night all you can eat tacos was great. gusto our waiter and Edgar were the only ones with great customer service. Hotel is in Hotel zone walking distance to nightlife, bars and restaurants . They

Beach was excellent but facilities are old. Durning our stay, the air conditioner went out in both my friend's room and mine. We were unfortunate to get caught in heavy rains and the window leaked.

Nice hotel depending on where you stay!

Pros: The hotel staff were friendly and the views from Tower B are amazing! The cabanas are also first come, first serve at no cost.
Cons: Housekeeping and room service promptness.
Location: It's located near Coco Bongo, Hooters and many major nightclubs.
Our first mistake was booking a standard room. Standard rooms are mainly located in Tower A, the rooms are sub par. The lights weren't working properly, the view sucks, the sink didn't drain properly, the refrigerator was disgusting (unclean) and our sheets had holes in the them. Our friend booked a premium room which are mainly located in the newer Tower B. His room was so nice that we pleaded with the front desk to change rooms (for a fee of course). Our new room in Tower B was so nice. The one main issue we had for the duration of the stay was the housekeeper took our wash cloths each day and didn't replenish them. When I'd call for new ones it would take between 45 min to an hour for them to bring us new ones. The view was great and the staff was friendly. The food via all inclusive was great too. The drinks were a little weak but definitely worth it for the shots :)

WORST TRIP OF MY LIFE

Pros: The only good thing about this hotel is that it's located on a beautiful beach.
Cons: Staff needs to remember that their job title is HOSPITALITY! That means you do whatever you can to accommodate your guests.
Location: Very unsafe, don't leave the resort.
My wife and myself are avid travelers and we try to take at least two trips a year. This year we decided to go outside of the US for a 2nd time (1st time being Turks and Caicos) and it was a horrible experience. not only were the people rude and unwelcoming, the overall feeling we had was uncomfortable. The men here just stare and ask obnoxious questions, the hotel staff was completely unwilling to help us and the room was terrible. I requested a king room and got a double bed room which they "could not" change. Also, I asked for help setting up a taxi back to the airport for my departure in two days and no one could help me. All they kept stating was "that's a different company, we're just the hotel." Never in our life have we gone to a place so poorly conducted in hospitality. The stay was so horrendous that we checked out the very next day and flew back to the greatest country in the world! Not only would I not recommend this hotel, but unless you are going as a group (and not a group of only females) I would recommend you not go to Cancun. we honestly felt safer walking around Brooklyn, NY alone than we did here. Almost $1,000 down the drain.
