First thing when getting off the plane- they do tell you but I'll say it again do not talk to anyone at the airport. They are sales agents from differant hotels trying to give you dirt cheap rates on excursions and stuff. If you get lured in they will pick you up and bring you to their hotels for sales... more

I don't understand the negative comments that some people have made about the Sunset Lagoon. We had a week's stay from January 5 - 12, 2008 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff is uniformly excellent: helpful, upbeat and hardworking. They all went out of their way to make sure our stay was a great experience. There are three... more

I rated this experience above average. This was only because the presentation was long and we hadn't been to Mexico before. When we go next time I have no doubt it will be excellent. We went in The beginning of December and the weather was great. Our rooms were beautiful with an awesome view of the lagoon. Our late evening... more

I went to the Sunset Lagoon in January of 2007. It is a nice resort and the food was average, but avoid the timeshare presentation. Unfortunately, I did not follow my own advice. I signed a contract with them after being sold on the "investment opportunity" promising thousands in rental income. I also signed a 5 day cancellation waiver that... more

We booked through RCI, and were lied to about the timeshare tour. We were stuck with the salesperson for over 6 hours. It took us another 3 days to get all of our 'free' stuff, which really wasn't free cause everything you would want to do on the tours was extra. The Hotel was older, and dated, but the Staff... more

The room and hotel itself was beautiful. We had a deck w/a hot tub and beautiful room. The resort was also beautiful. HOWEVER, we did see roaches, just a couple. The restaurant closed at like 4 and dinner service didn't start until 7pm. You could get no food between that time. Room service is limited and when we did opt... more

The Sunset lagoon is a different type of resort than the mega hotels that are all throughout Cancun. The rooms are set up like little villas or apartments depending on what size room you need. There are studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom. Our group had the two bedroom and it was perfect. We had a second floor room and... more

We had a great time in Cancun but you need to avoid the sales people. Most of what they told was was completely not true. They said that we could hand over our other timeshares, get a discount and then we'd be given a cash payment from the government for our taxes because we released that property. The bottom line... more

I don't understand some of these bad reviews that I am seeing posted. Some comments about the price of taxis, airport hassle, and general Mexico annoyances, are obviously from people who have never been and will never appreciate Mexico. Mexico is very beautiful and my favorite spot to relax but do not expect it to be like Hawaii or Florida.... more

I stayed at the Sunset Lagoon with my husband and two children ages 8 and 12 for a week in July. We had a great time. The food was above average for Mexico and the service was excellent! Ask for Eduardo at the buffet for dinner, he was wonderful. Eduardo, the server at the pool was excellent too. The kids... more
