The Garisol does have a great view but the front desk people will rip you off. I was there on 2/15 and my friend had paid for our room in advance, the guy at the front desk tried to scam me for 900 pesos for a room that had already been purchaced. NOT COOL. In this economy while tourism is down people should want to encourage customers not try to steal from them. The rooms were low end and rundown, one pilloow per hard bed,one towel, toilet that didin't work and crappy little fridge. Don't stay at the Girasol unless you have to.

The property is one of the oldest in Cancun but all the basic services were there like hot water, fresh clean towels, friendly service and the best location on the beach! There is a 24 hour OXXO (Mexican convenience store chain) 50 yards from the entrance to the hotel and a pharmacy right next to it. The rooms are very large which was good because I had my small children with me and they had room to play. Rooms had a kithchette with a fridge and sink and cabinets but nothing to cook on so I just went to walmart and bought a hot plate and a little frying pan and everything we needed cook for $25 and we had eggs, bacon, OJ and coffee when ever we wanted to get up and saved a TON of money this way as food is grossly overpriced in Cancun. There is a small little restaurant in the hotel but we never ate there so I couldnt tell you. We had a large fridge and kept it stocked so we only really ate out a few times. It is a two minute walk from Senor Frogs and a four minute walk to Carlos n Charlies and the mall and all the night life.

You just gotta go into it knowing you get what you pay for but my view was priceless.

I did a lot of homework (and read hundreds of reviews!) before choosing the condo for our vacation. I found out that every condo in this building is owned by a different person, and that some units are kept up, while others aren't so much. We ended up choosing penthouse #4, and we were SO GLAD we did! Our condo was great. It was decorated in Mexican colors, very cute. The owners were very friendly and gave us a lot of information before we even arrived.

Yes, the building is older and smaller than some you'll see. But the price and location couldn't be beat, and that was the main thing for us. We didn't rent a car the entire week, because we could walk everywhere. We did ride the bus to Walmart, at the condo owner's suggestion, to stock up on groceries the first day. Other than that, we were able to walk to everything.

  • Liked — The location, and the view from the balconies

My mother and I stayed here for a week in September last year and it was ok. The location was superb and the views from our window simply breathtaking but... the place is pretty run down. Our room was full of ants because the kitchenette area had not been cleaned properly. We spend the first day scrubbing the place. All the dishes and cupboards were sticky, the cutlery was rusty. The bedsheets all had stains on them. The bathroom was ok. The door to the balcony was rusty so extremely hard to open. We got wax and put it on which made it easier but this should be done by the staff there not the guests. Staff were a bit intimidating as well and could have been a bit friendlier.
We didn't pay too much for our week here and it wasn't all bad... I just think cleanliness would make such a difference.

This hotel is very conveniently located on the beach with spectacular views and the staff is friendly however...there was no lightbulb over the vanity and none available. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. The room was clean enough however it was dark with only two lights on the far end of the room and only one elevator worked for a fairly large hotel.
When I called to book the reservation I was told one price, however when we went to check in I was asked for another $50; I told them no, take the original price or we would find someplace else.
If your looking for just a bed close to the beach and party scene this is it but don't set the bar too high.
