Because I booked on Expedia and got a great rate, the hotel didn't give me the all inclusive (only breakfast) despite me asking for it. The hotel wanted me to pay an extra 75 dollars a night. They stuck me in between the basement and the pool with loud music and construction blaring through the room from 10am until about 1130 pm. Because I had a yellow wristband and not blue, they wanted to charge 5 dollars for a coke and 7$ for a hot dog. So I just walked across the street and grabbed a hot dog and a two liter for 3 dollars at the circle K. Breakfast was generally leftovers from the restaurants from the night before, and they did have fresh eggs. That being said, it was a pretty lackluster hotel. If I was a drinker, I probably would have paid the extra 75, but I could easily find great food outside the hotel for less. Cancun is beautiful and safe. There is no ice machine, you must get a cup at a time at the bar. Room was musty, but the maid was very nice and accommodating (unlike the rude staff at the concierge). In June I stayed at the Canopy by Hilton. Much better deal and accommodating. If you pay the extra money that they want, perhaps you get treated better, but I certainly know that I'm not alone. I wish I could post the pictures of what I'm talking about. I have pictures of the gap in the upper and lower part of my door (contributing to the noise) as well as the bugs all over the room. Hard pass.
