Before booking this trip I read all the reviews on trip advisor and was kinda scared. VERY IMPORTANT....... tips are supposed to be included already but we tipped more than we seen most other people tipping, and on our last day there you would have thought we had some kind of disease because we were IGNORED by the staff!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That really left a bad taste in my mouth!! When we got there we were seated and offered drinks, the bellboy will "get" your luggage for you but you are going to have to tip! He actually just grabs it before you can say anything. The room was better than we though, we had lagoon view and it was nice. But the bed was the worst bed ever, by the time we left our arms and shoulders and backs were KILLING us. The staff was nice for the most part, the front desk had a few ladies that were not so nice and the lady who runs the little gift store you see when you walk in was a real %^$&*! One of the elevators had no air, so when you got in you melted. Of cousre they are going to get you to go see their time share down the road called The Royal. We are not time share buyers but we ended up buying what we thought was a great deal, now we are leary and are not so happy about our decision.I would advise against it. The maid in our room was GREAT!! We loved yolonda!! The beach was better, way better than the reviews I read, very nice. Drinks were watered down, always order an extra shot and just add it to your drink. The food, was just OK, not the best, some of looked gross, but was overall ok. The last night we ate there we got really sick. The resturants were all HOT and humid so that sucked too. Not alot of people were there only about 30% full but this was about a month after the swine flu scare. We May go back one day, the all adult part was a good idea for us, we liked that part. Just remember to tip or you will be sorry!!

We went on a week just post Swine Flu hysteria, so the property was about 30% full. We upgraded to a beach side room and we were so happy with that choice. Sure, it was not the most modern room, but it was comfortable enough. The sister property, Great Parnassus, was much swankier, but we noticed the people from that property were hanging at our hotel. The staff was amazing, at every level. The food was sublime, at every restaurant, at both properties.

Don't fall for the hard pressure sell, when you check in, to visit another property to do the time share gig. The free gifts are not worth it.

The best excursion deals offered are through Aqua World for some snorkel, scuba, and day trip excursions. These are sold at the pool side shack, where they give out towels. We took a day trip to Isla Mujeres that was the funnest day of the trip; the boat crew was hilarious!

The beach at the hotel was nice, and that seems to vary depending on where on the peninsula you are.

We spent 7 days and did a lot of excursions, including Chichen Itza. If I go back to Cancun, I will stay at the Golden Parnassus again

I was very disappointed with my travel. After arriving to the Golden Parnassus we were told that there is no room there.
The place was overbooked. They sent us to stay to the Great Parnassus. This place was correct ,but not the one that I wanted.
The manager in the Gold Parnassus was not nice at all. We got as a compensation 50 $ to buy something in the gift shop. But this was not what I wanted.

The staff was great!!!!! The food was great!!!! We are so ready to go back, we met so many wonderful people. We can't wait to go back. (I think I already said that) :) This was our first time to stay at the Golden and we loved it. It is the perfect size, it seemed more personal. It is an older hotel but, that didn't bother us at all, you are usually only in your room to sleep and there is nothing wrong with the rooms at all. The air conditioner was working great when we were there and I didn't hear of any bed bugs. (seriously?!!!!) I would recommend the Golden Parnassus to anyone that isn't afraid to have a little fun!!!!!!! BOOMER SOOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a long overdue compliment to the Golden Parnassus. My sister and I were there for 2 weeks at the beginning of March and we had the absolute best time. Exactly what I needed, incredible service - we were treated like queens. Staff were amazing, did I say amazing, yes amazing. Can't wait to go back.
