My boyfriend and I went to the Gran Caribe in the height of the swine flu hype, and I'm so glad that we didnt change our destination. We had a wonderful time, and really didnt encounter any problems (minus the last night when a senior trip invaded the hotel and were super obnoxious, but they're young so you cant expect too much). Everyone at the hotel was so friendly and accommodating, they were happy to answer any questions that we had. The location was fantastic, we actually ending up walking back from the clubs one night and I felt completely safe (although it was a bit longer than we anticipated). The food was terrific, like everyone has said Maria's is fantastic, the flaming coffee is so fun to watch as well. The drinks were great, and if you ask to make them strong they definitely do. Overall we loved our time here, and would definitely return.

While staying at the Gran Caribe Real, we met a bunch of people from all over the United States and from Europe. We are still talking to those people. It was a great atmosphere to meet new friends. The activities staff was amazing. I became close friends with Ale and Jesus. We went out to the bars with the them a few times, they were so much fun. During the day at the hotel Ale and Jesus were always keeping stuff fun and very entertaining. I miss them so much and they made a huge imprint on my life. I will remember them for the rest of my life.

My wife and I went on a short birthday surprise trip to Cancun. Because I booked this on the inexpensive side I was a bit leary of what we would find upon arrival. Let me say that we were thrilled. This resort was well within our expectations. Food was good to excellent, drinks were well portioned, staff was friendly and helpful. The people we met at the resort were very friendly as well. Overally our 4 day trip was very memorable and it turned out to be a very nice way to spend the week. We only left the resort to walk to two different markets for some local shopping. A couple things of note, this resort is very clean and nice, but it is also very small compared to others we stayed with in the past. This is not a problem for us but exploring this resort wouldn't take long at all. If you are into large sprawling resort properties this one is probably not for you. However, if you'd just like a place that gets you into the middle of the Cancun Hotel Zone action and provides a clean comfortable place to stay and offers good consistent dining and drink options then this is definitely a spot you should consider.

the hotel was amazing the staff worked so hard and were very very friendly. The entertainment was incredable and the sports and entertainment team work around the clock to provide a variety of entertainment to suit everybody. The food was really nice and there was a good selection. Our sea view apartment had an amazing view and we were on the beach after walking down just a few steps. All round fantastic honeymoon and would definately go back .
