Fantastic hotel!
Philadelphia Feb 28, 2007
My husband and I travel to Mexico 2-3 times a year. We like Cancun not only for the wonderful beaches and the gracious people who work there but also because it is so quick and easy for us to get to....non stop from Philadelphia and quick taxi ride from the airport. We want to spend as much time as possible enjoying our vacation, not traveling. Usually we book an all inclusive but the ME Cancun seemed new and interesting, had rooms available and they were running a Grand Opening Promotion so we gave it a try. All I can say is WOW!
The hotel is beautiful. It was designed around an artists vision of a love story that he tells thru his art work, sculptures, textures, music, lighting and fantastic views of the ocean and pools. It is all about relaxation and the reawakening of your senses. We loved our room, wonderful ocean view, really comfortable bed, incredible "rain forrest "shower, plasma tv and sound system. Huge towels, Aveda skin care products, minibar and safe.The people who work there could not be any friendlier or helpful...their motto is that it is " all about you" and it really is.
Even the lobby is filled with comfortable lounges, piped in music and books laid out for you to enjoy..If you have to work while there, as we did, they have a great computer lounge ( 10 computers or so) which is free and located next to the coffeee bar where you can get all kinds of coffee and juices.
There was never a wait to get on line. The spa was fantastic as well. I had a pedicure and it was wonderful. They also have a fully equipt gym and steam rooms/sauna.
As far as the food, we ate out quite a few nights but had 2 wonderful meals in the outdoor restaraunt there at the hotel. The ambiance was fantastic, with the wind from the ocean, the music and the swaying wicker lights. The tuna rocked!
The beach location was perfect. We have stayed in many hotels that are still rebuilding the beach from the past hurricanes. Not so here! The beach was perfect. There was construction going on at the building next to the hotel but to be honest, we never heard it. It was very unobtrusive! On the beach, we enjoyed the comfortable chairs, waiter service, music and the large beach beds to lie on as well as the palapas. Around the pool they have cabana's with comfortable pillows and butler like service for when you have had too much sun or want some private time. If are looking for a resort with a lot of pool activites, this is not the place for you. There are NONE. If you are in need of the ultimate relaxation experience and to really be connected with the person you are with. then you have found the right place. Aslo, there is no dancing/nightlife there. They do have a wonderful lounge which is lit with a million candles every night for you to unwind and have a cocktail. Drinks are expensive but not any more than the Marriott or other hotels in the area. The location of the hotel is perfect if you do want to get out. Within walking distance to the mall, Margaritaville, Pat o'brians, etc. The bus is right there as well to take you anywhere else you want to go. I absolutely loved this place and can't wait to go back again!
