Booked at the Royal Solaris, but because of the unfounded swine flu scare, was moved to the GR. I had done a great deal of research on the Royal, and think I may have been better off there.
It was very quiet when we first got there, Arrived May 28-June3 (we actually left a day early) After the weekend, a great deal more folks started arriving.
The weather was gorgeous, and Cancun was nice.
The hotel staff at the pool did a good job of trying to keep everyone occupied, but it was the same thing after a few days.
The food was plenty, but the quality was just ok. I've been to an AI in Punta Cana and this did not compare. No sickness however, drank bottled water the whole time. Marco Polo was good, and the dinner shows had better food.
The maid service was good, I paid well to ensure I received water.
The beach was a little disappointing if you are like me and like to walk for miles! My daughter and I went for a walk that was more like a hike and came back after about 15 mins.
The hotel desk staff were not very accomodating or friendly.
Had a bad experience with both the hotel store and the hotel travel agency. I was sold tickets to a ferry to Isla Mujeres that was not running. We got up early, took a bus and had to turn around and go back to the hotel.
In both cases the Fr Desk Manager claimed that they were not "with the hotel" and there was nothing he could do. Not a customer friendly management staff at all.
If you like to party, and hang at the pool bar this is the place for you, otherwise I'd try someplace else.
