3/3 found this review helpful

This was definitely one of my best hotel experiences ever. As college students studying in Merida, my friends and I didn't have that much money to spend, but managed to get 3 days/2 nights all inclusive for 1300 pesos per person. Check-in was a breeze (free champagne!) and we didn't have to wear those annoying bracelets that a lot of all-inclusive places make you wear. The hotel itself is gorgeous - white paint/curtains with red accents (red tiles, etc). Our room was huge - maybe it's just because I've never stayed in a really nice hotel before, but the bathroom was nice and big, the room was breezy and incredibly spacious, and the bed/pillows were beyond comfortable - I slept better than I have in weeks. They also gave us petit fours and chocolates! The pool and beach were beautiful, I loved how there were plenty of shady spots on both the beach and by the pool. Although a previous commentator mentioned that they couldn't swim because there were red flags on the beach, that's completely untrue - we had red flags every day but were allowed to swim. Although they didn't plan activities for us - someone also complained about that - I'm honestly not a fan of resorts that try to give you a schedule of activities - that's a little too summer camp-esque for me. There's a beach volleyball setup on the neighboring hotel's beach, and my friends and I easily started a nice pick-up game :) All of the staff were super wonderful, especially the pool bartender (awesome drinks, great food) and the main hotel bartender - it was my 24th birthday when we went and we had a great time celebrating at the hotel bar before heading out to Coco Bongo. As for the restaurant food - although there's "only" one restaurant, they have multiple menus, impeccable service, and great food. Maybe we were just spoiled by the fact that we've been living outside the US for the past 3 weeks, but we couldn't get enough of the food and service - I'm not sure about the rest of Mexico, but in Merida you're lucky to get 1/10th the service that they have at the Bel Air.
There were only a few things I wish I'd known earlier, but they weren't necessary for an amazing time - it's a good idea to go down to the pool area super early to reserve a shaded area, I had no idea that they'd go so fast. Although there are plenty to go around, the really cool nest-looking ones go first. The bellhop at the hotel usually has sweet deals that let you get into clubs for cheaper - we got free cover into Dady'O one night and half off entrance with open bar at Coco Bongo the next night. And when the bellhop gets you a van/taxi to the airport or bus depot on your last day, be sure to negotiate a price before he calls - we ended up getting a huge fan for all 6 of us for 200 pesos.
Anyways, we had an amazing, amazing time here and I'll be sure to come back in the future - the Bel Air made our weekend in Cancun unforgettable.

This hotel is GORGEOUS. I had so much fun in Mexico, and i would not wanna stay anywhere else. I am comming back this summer no doubt about it too. Its so gorgeous, peaceful, and relaxful. The food at the hotel was good, the service was pretty terrible but the food made up for it. The people were very kind and welcoming. I was a little worried because of some of the reviews I read. But I guess everyone is different. The hotel is 10 minutes from everything by bus, not a problem. Love this place, the pool and the beach area is amazing. I have nothing bad to say about this hotel.

We went on a wild card with gotravel direct -DON'T EVER DO IT -it was supposed to be a 41/2* or better and wasn't even close-started with waiting for food at the non existing pool mexican snack bar that opened when ever they felt like getting to it. Not having enough lounge chairs for us to seat on, not enough servers to serve the guests, the ones that were there couldn't keep up, being all inclusive and having to sign a check every time you wanted something. The pool was so cold you couldn't swim, the hot tub very dirty. The sushi bar was seats in the open lobby that the food came from the same one kitchen so you had the wait for it(it was very good when you got it -credit to the cooks). The 3 restaurants that they advertised in the booklet in the room and on the internet is the same one restaurant-different name for breakfast, lunch, dinner. If you plan on staying a week you will eat everything on the menu at least a couples of times and if you do not like fish then you have a choice of chicken or steak. The servers again are run off there feet having to do the proper 5* dining that they think they are. Different items a few nights or buffet to make a quick meal would be nice. The hotel rooms were nice a can of white paint can make a room look bright and fresh just don't look at the walls to close and the cleaning staff do a good job. I think most of the rooms over look the beach so you get a beautiful view. As someone else had mentioned that end of the beach is very windy so the red flags were up all week. There is no entertainment at all-no music, no playing in the pool, no volleyball, don't plan on staying up one night because that is the night the bar will close early, we were a group of 12 people so we went to other resorts and played volleyball(one of the gang had their own ball) open lobby was uncomfortable in the little chairs and so windy we had to hold our cards from blowing away. Cheap place to stay if you plan on eating at differnt places throughout the week and want to do nothing but read and have a quiet vacation this is the place.
