We just got back from a gorgeous week at the Omni Cancun. There were 12 of us in our party, 6 adults 6 kids and I think I can say we all had a great time! The resort, the staff, the food- everthing was great!

My only complaints were

1.lack of swimmable beach- we knew it was rocky, but we assumed we'd still be able to swim in the beautiful crystal blue water. We had a week of wind so we couldn't even use the water toys, peddle boats etc. For that reason alone, we probably won't go back to this resort, at least with the kids.

2. lack of kids club- the Omni website cites an "Omni Sensational Kids' club which was absolutely non existent. After enquiring about it and the lack of activities for kids, we were introduced to this young lady from Senor Frogs who took the kids through a few games, (connect four, ball toss at a stand up frog) but that wasn't what I expected. I got the feeling she was trying to drum up business for Senor Frogs instead of trying to have fun with the kids. This wasn't a huge deal, as we had enough kids to amuse themselves.

3. Watch your stuff! We had 3 pairs of shoes taken! Two pairs of flip flops from the pool area and one pair of running shoes from the beach. I know this can happen anywhere, but it was really a downer for my 11 year old that had both his shoes and sandals taken! Yet, credit to the cleaning staff...my husband left his wallet with money out of the safe one day and when he returned there was a little note from the cleaning staff saying that they aren't responisble is something is missing, please put your important items in the safe, and all money was there!

So all in all, we loved the place! We weren't hounded by timesharers at all! I received the invite to the breakfast, gently declined and wasn't bothered at all again.

Did I mention the food? Wonderful! I'm currently going through a margarita withdrawl!

Just got back from a 2 week visit to the Omni. As always the staff were friendly and welcoming. The cleaning, concierge, and vacation club staff were all very accommodating and helpful.

All requests I had for help in my room were answered and dealt with prompty. The hotel is very clean. I had a beautiful oceanview room and it was really fun to see the sunrise every morning as I read the "Miami Herald", had some coffee etc.

The rocks were still on the beach but beach restoration is supposed to be on the way by May, 09.

The only problem was the cooler weather, I'm not complaining as I am from Minnesota!!! But folks need to have some clothing with them for the cooler weather. I was not prepared for the 64 degrees weather I experienced some days.

Still had a great time though.

We went to Cancun the week of the Jan. 26, 2009, and absoluty loved every minute of it! Made us double think about returning back home in Nebraska.
Our first reaction to the hotel was "it's pink"! but not a bright pink. I thought it was cute, plus it's very easy to find because of that. It was very nice, clean, and all the people were very friendly. The only thing that drove me bananas was that the housekeeping doesn't speak english, but heck, thats the way here in the United States. Also they rearange your personal things. Like, I had my hair straightner and blow dryer on the counter, and they wraped up the cord and put in on my suitcase. They always touched my things, which kinda bothered me. But nothing was missing. Also, the waiters don't just speak spanish, but they say something in spanish first, then say it in english (which you can understand), so you learn some spanish while you're ordering your next drink.
If you are a early to bed type of person, I probably wouldn't stay at this hotel, whereas they have some type of "party" every night until 10 pm
The beach was also beautiful. Yes, like all the other reviews, it was rocky, but there were spots that you could get into the water. I'm not that woopy on oceans, so I stayed on the beach, sipping drinks, while my hubby played in the ocean.
If you're trying to decide if you should spend the extra money to get the all-inclusive...DO!!! It's worth every penny. All your food, drinks, room service, and most everything is free. You don't have to worry about how much money something costs, you don't have to carry money with you everywhere. You can order what you want off the menu and not only what you can afford. Plus, you will spend lots of US dollar just to get pesos, which everything is expensive! So, spend the extra money now, and have a VERY enjoyable, relaxed vacation.
The best part of my vacation... I got engaged!

the hotel and the pool are great. The food is good and people are very nice.
The beach is awfull. Since the 2004 hurricane, this is not a beach. This is a ROCKS FIELD. You cannot swim, you cannot bath because this is very dangerous. This is also very frustating because the water is warm and beautifull. Next time, I ll go to another part of Mexico.
