After reading some of the negative reviews, looking at the hotel pictures on the website, and then reviewing the brochure that our travel agent provided , my family and I thought that we had made a major mistake in choosing this hotel. To our pleasant surprise, the hotel and staff exceeded our expectations. The hotel is so beautiful and the staff is remarkable. The hotel is much prettier than what the pictures show. We arrived at 10pm and we were met by a personable bellmen Ulysis who was very knowledgable about the hotel and Cancun. We upgraded our rooms from a Jr Suite oceanfront to a Grand Jr Suite Oceanview. The rooms are big, comfortable, quite and clean. The rooms are well stocked. Our housekeeper decorated our bed with rose petals and made a swan out of towels(see pictures). The beach is breathtakinly beautiful and clean. The servers on the beach and pool area were very attentive when it comes to providing drinks. Once you get finish with one drink, they are there to provide you with another. The same service applies in the buffet or a' la carte restaurants too. The service is amazing! The service that we received was the same service provided during a stay at a boutique hotel or eating at a fine dining restaurant. There is a wide range of food to choose from: vegetarian, italian to sushi, the Philadelphia rolls are delicious. Our 11 year old had fun at the children's pool area, which has a nice water slide. He also enjoyed ordering chocolate cake from room service, which he did almost every night. Our 29 year old had a good time just socializing in the lobby. He met lots of new friends and he is going back, without us of course. Our family agrees that this was one of the best vacations we have had. We look forward to going back to Gran Caribe for their "Gran" hospitality, friendliness, good food and their beautiful accomodations.

Wow! Where to begin. From the moment we entered the hotel until we left, we were treated to 5 star service!! The bellmen are by far the best ever!! Angel, Francisco, and Carlos took care of EVERYTHING. From taxis and hotel vans for rides, to dinner suggestions, care of luggage, and good conversation, it was all a class act. Reception was a little chaotic but we were 12 people in 6 rooms so no complaint. As can be expected of the food in an all inclusive it was not world class but at the same time it was far better than most. From the servers in the lobby bar (Leydi and Lorenzo), to the servers in the restaurants (Luis) we were always taken care of. They waited for us and on us. Drinks of choice prepared as we walked up (not bad for 12 people). My brother in law is a member there and I will become one too. I have taken my family all over the world on vacations. This one is close to home and the service is excellent!! Well worth it.

I'll keep it short and sweet....

We stayed between 28th May and 12th June

The food: People complain about its monotomy, but there is PLENTY of choice at the hotel, the sushi/poolside bar, Marias a la carte, The Sunset Grill and the choice of 2 Buffet style restaurants where the food is always fresh and varied (despite previous comments)

The rooms: Very generously sized with good facilities and a very well stocked mini bar!

The Staff: The entertainment team were AMAZING - a special mention for Esteban, Ale, and Miguel who made our trip so worthwhile that we will be back again next year!!!

I have been to the best hotels in Cancun and while this is certainly not a 5 star, I have trouble identifying huge differences between this one and those rated much higher. The room was definitely older and the hotel certainly has rooms with poor views, but they have great amenities such as the OKI Splash water park for kids and the buffets were as good as any I have eaten at in 5 star All-Inclusives. The a la carte restaurants were also good, especially Maria's. We got an awesome deal on this property and I would say we got MORE than what we paid for. Service was very good everywhere and the housekeeping could not have kept the property cleaner.

I have just recently returned from 2 weeks at the gran caribe and i have nothing bad to say about it at all! It was the best holiday ever! The hotel and staff were amazing . The sports and entertainment team made the holiday for me and my best friend as we went out with them every night we went out, we got very close to Miguel from the sports and entertainment team as he made the holiday very special for us both and made sure that we and everybody else in the hotel was 100% happy 100% of the time, a very hard worker who deserves recognition!! Wish i could be back there now!!!
