Top Ballenas Beach Hotel Reviews

Secrets The Vine Cancun - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing . One flaw is i saw a poop stain on our bathroom glass and a booger on our shower glass"

Marriott Cancun Resort

8/10 Good

"cleanliness: top notch, the hotel is properly maintained. smells good so it means it's clean regularly and it is. service: staff are really friendly and accommodating, maybe need to improve service at the Pizzeria by la Isla, people in that area seems doesn't look like they want to help you when you approach them, twice when we ask for something it seemed like we have disturb them not even smiling (the bartender), all the other waiter or waitress running the pool area are very friendly and courteous. Room service could be improved by making sure the person answering the call can speak and understand English well. food: needs to improve, some amazing restaurant are Mikado, Kasai and Champions Sports Bar, the rest needs to improve in terms of freshness of food (some buffet restaurants: food are very dry and there's even birds eating some of the food on display). Breakfast buffet is very good as there's lots of options to cater to all the tourist. other: too bad can't really swim/use the beach over all experience 8/10"

Wyndham Grand Cancun All Inclusive Resort & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This was exactly like the pictures showed. Nice and clean and welcoming. The food is similar to most all inclusive but the specialty restaurants were outstanding."

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"People staff was very helpful sometimes trying to hard but not need it very hard working staff in place. Buffet for breakfast it’s great but not for lunch or dinner it’s a poor menu implementation needed variations nothing special it looks like a restaurant family meal desserts station on buffet are are great lots of very nice choices. Mexican restaurant I didn’t bother to visit it looks in from outside disorganized and last year when I was there as well air conditioning wasn’t working/ menu it really don’t represent Mexican cuisine which it’s fantastic if it’s executed correctly. Italian restaurant i tried the pasta spaghetti pomodoro a classic simple dish wasn’t executed correctly or the chicken à la parmigiana so I didn’t bother to visit the restaurant but i got those two dishes delivered to the buffet restaurant. Cevicheria restaurant was fantastic I like the shrimp cocktail especially the cocktail sauce the fish tacos simple nice I would be careful on making sure seafood soup it’s at temperature correct temperature 140’ hot nice wine service very attentive nice people overall. Burger restaurant very nice simple but nice again very helpful attentive staff. This was my second visit last year and this year my honest opinion food needs to improve and presentation of the food. My favorite spot for me my wife and my boy was the gelato and dessert coffee shop it’s great all around. Hope this review helps to improve bcz the hospitality hotel installations are all great."
