Cancun Clipper Club (Best Western) is in the perfect location at the right price. Near km 9 it is at the core of the action, shopping and dining. One can walk to the biggest clubs (discos) in less time than it takes to walk from the big resorts on Punta Cancun. The beach is a two minute walk. Though the Clipper Club is on the lagoon side, remember all beaches in Mexico are public so it is no problem. The travel agent at the Clipper Club offered low prices, without the risk of getting ripped off by a street vendor. Another plus is being right next to the large Plaza La Fiesta supermarket which has reasonably priced liquor, groceries and souvenirs. The AC had to work hard on humid days, but on mild days we let the tropical breeze blow through the room. The staff at the Clipper Club were very helpful as well.

We just got back from Cancun. We wanted a quick getaway for the least amount of money. The Best Western Clipper provided just that. It was no 5 star, but I would highly recommend this hotel if you are on a budget.
The staff is great and friendly, and rooms are very clean. They do a great job keeping up with the appearance. We had no problems at all. It is an older hotel, but we still enjoyed our stay. The people that stayed there were great too, no loud, obnoxious spring breakers. The nightlife is right around the corner. Most of the nights we were there, we walked to everything. This is definately a bonus. I would consider staying at this hotel again next time I come! :-)

This hotel has a few good qualities, but the bad outweighed the good in my opinion. My friend and I just returned from our stay at the Clipper on 2/2/04. First, the good: 1. location - within walking distance of everything and it is quiet at night 2. good room layout in the efficiency suites (though not enough room for storage in the drawers) 3. good water pressure - we were on the ground floor, but we had to insist on that

Now the bad: 1. outdated electrical (we smelled something burning a lot) plus there aren't very many outlets 2. bad service/ customer relations - lost our reservation upon arrival; the maids hardly touched the rooms, and we found out we had to pay extra if we wanted the dishes washed (not my idea of vacation) 3. A/C inadequate - had to buy fan at WalMart because windows wouldn't completely close in kitchen. I did manage to schmooze a worker into assembling the fan for us by telling him the fan would be his when we left.
4. Junior suite mattresses were hard as bricks - seriously - and I had to go to WalMart again as my herniated disk couldn't handle it. While I was there, bought pillows also because I needed at least one that was halfway decent.
5. Front desk called us at 7:00 am to see about our transfer back to airport even though we had 3 more nights to stay - not good when you have been out all night!
6. Floor always felt unclean 7. Super bowl night - brought guests over and they tried to make me pay extra - even when I explained we were just watching the first half of the game and having some drinks before we all went out and they would not be staying (I guess that might be a plus for their security though.) 8. They didn't remove trash from your room (empty cans, bottles, wrappers, etc.) 9. They wouldn't let us use the door that opened to the patio are because of security reasons. Again, maybe that was a plus - we just found it inconvenient.

So - it wasn't the worst place in the world, but far, far from the best. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are an ultra low-maintenance person that enjoys camping, waking up real early on vacation, and cleaning up your own trash and dishes.

A very basic bed'n'breakfast with an ok pool is what you get. Six of us lads "The che bunde" booked a summer hol which was an all out attack on Cancun, Mexico. Coz we packed a lot of activities into our trip we were looking for an average budget sort of hotel accomodation and AVERAGE is exactly what The CCC is. Don't expect too much of the rooms and extras around the hotel, they do the job (apart from the jacuzzi) but this hotel is best suited for a "Bed'n'Breakfast" type of stay. The location is not on the beach front but on the lagoon side however its only a 5min enjoyable walk past many restaurants to the beach - cool because by the time you walk back after a dip in the best white sand beach waters i've ever seen your completely dry!!! Despite not being near the beach front we found the location to be ideal during our many nights out. DONT BOOK your excursions from the hotel!! Go to the EXCURSION STANDS you'll find in the near by streets and here's a great tip: be shrewd and TRY TO HAGGLE with them, especially if theres a group of you - Honestly over the 2 weeks we made some great savings!!! Would definately like to go to Cancun again but next its got to be a sea front hotel.
