Top Ballenas Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Club Vacations The Royal Sands by IHG - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Been coming here now for 8 years. Staff is always lovely. Food is good, although I find the room service menu is very limited and there’s just no adult party fun to have on the resort so we found ourselves bored."

Kempinski Hotel Cancún

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel highly recommend"

Paradisus Cancún – All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect!"

Live Aqua Cancun - Adults Only - All-Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel"

Sandos Cancún All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort with amazing staff. From our first day to our last day there everyone was so amazing. They made sure that my sister brought her birthday in right!! Definitely enjoyed our stay. Only one recommendation is to have more entertainment on the resort."

The Pyramid Cancun by Oasis - Gourmet Premium All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience overall No complaints"

Marriott Cancun Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful, the food and restaurant options were great, and there was something for everyone in the family. But the Kids Club was the WIN! 🙌 The kids absolutely loved it, which meant they were entertained, having fun, and actually wanted to go back. As parents, that gave us time to relax and enjoy the resort knowing the kids were having just as much fun as we were."

Seadust Cancún Beach Resort All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The Seadust Cancun was a nice property, and several staff members were very sweet and helpful to us during our stay. We enjoyed many of the restaurants (the Mexican was my favorite but note it is only open for lunch). Our standard room was huge and very clean and we had an amazing view of the ocean even though we didn't pay the extra $600 for an ocean view. The rooms were very cool and at night, the entire inside of the resort was much cooler than during the day. It had a fun club on the 2nd floor that we enjoyed. Elevators worked great and didn't take too long (we were on the 10th floor). What I didn't like was that you were not allowed to have your drink in the pool. Everything was plastic and when you are in the pool just hanging out, it is fun to have a drink but it was NOT allowed. Even keeping your drink on the side of the pool was a no-no. The sargasm was horrible and they did not have it cleaned up on the beach as other hotels did. The sargasm was not the hotel's fault of course, however, there was not a lot of beach front to clean up and it would have been nice if they had. If you sit in a beach chair, note the cabanas obstruct your beach view. There was no beach bar as several videos showed. Other than that, for the price we paid, it was a very nice vacation. We enjoyed the north Cancun beaches that had zero sargasm and loved those days. For the price, we would go here again."

Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The food was excellent The staff was great especially in the restaurant brasilian and cevicheria and in general the staff was really good I’m glad I do good decisions to choice the hotel fiesta Americana condesa thank you . Claudia Rodriguez"
