Anita R.

This review is only based on the club at night. At night, this club is extremely lit. The Club predominantly played hip hop and reggae on the night I went. It was packed. The concierge at my hotel sold passes for $40 which counted towards drinks purchased. I would definitely recommend Mandala for a good time. TIP: confirm the type of music spinning the night you're interested in going.

Plastic that I choked on

Found a piece of a bottle cap in my drink and they said "this is normal at a bar." Tried to be cool about it and just ask for a new, better table; as we had already paid around $5,000MX for a bottle and they weren't having it. Not to mention it was my birthday and they said they would get me a shot... they never did. If you like horrible service and drinking plastic that's big enough to choke on, this is the spot for you!

Horrible experience! Came to the day club for a bachelorette and the venue was very small and packed. Our group bought a "table" because it would have collectively cost less than just paying an entrance fee. The table/bed area was crowded with people. The pool water looked murky... it was disgusting. Everything was overpriced; we ended up paying $162 USD for water for just 9 people. Definitely a rip off, but we didn't want to be dehydrated. Amidst of all the chaos, my phone and wallet were stolen. My best guess is that it was stolen by an employee while they were were coming back and forth to clear our table. I had my phone's location tracked and it was still in the club after closing and then eventually made its way to a residential area in the photos I attached. Little did they know my phone can still track even if it was shut off.

Sushi + drinks!

We came to the mandala beach club on a Saturday for their pool party and it was great! Chill music and the $40 ticket was enough to cover 3-4 drinks plus some sushi the food was really good too!! It was a good vibe and will definitely return!

We had a villa for my bachelorette and it was great because we had our own hot tub/mini pool in the front of the villa. The view of the beach was gorgeous and the venue itself was modern. It was more chill than other pool parties that I've been to in Vegas and Miami, but it was a nice escape from the typical "untz untz untz", especially after partying all weekend. We ordered 2 bottles and a ton of food to meet the minimum. Eduardo was our server and he was accommodating and friendly throughout our time there, and always made sure our glasses were flowing with booze. However, I wasn't a fan of the other employees coming up to us multiple times to try to sell us stuff (hookah, massages, etc.). Mandala Beach Club is right next to Mandala nightclub and is its own separate entity. There seemed to be some confusion at the front desk regarding our minimums, but it all got squared away and we had a great time here!

Foam and pool = a blast!
Arturo F.

Tuesday night is for resting, right? Wrong! Tuesday night in Cancun is for the best party in town. Fast bartenders, beautiful people in swimsuits, a nice set-up even for non-bottle service ballers, a pool in which you can swim while drunk, and foam being shot out of cannons?! Yessir, this is what you wanted out of Cancun.

The Congo Bar is a crazy place no doubt. It is a standalone bar and tight (literally) dance place…read more It is loosely related to Congo Bongo and also used by promoters as a starting line leading up to showtime at Congo Bongo. Outrageous lighting, falling balloons, super loud music, buckets of beers, cheap alcoholic drinks, loud MC yelling, and dancing girls on small stages rounds out the Congo Bar. You will also have the typical opportunity to buy jello shots, roses, and photographs of you and yours; pretty standard at these types of places in Mexico. The Congo Bar is a fun place, and almost every crowd I have seen there has been friendly. Everyone just wants to have fun. On only one occasion did I see a drunk out of control, and the security quickly dealt with it. Speaking of security, the bouncers are very good keeping an eye on who's coming in and going out. They seem to do a good job searching folks on the way in and making sure people don't get too out of control. One of the officers, Alexander, is awesome. He always greets us and hangs out nearby while we visit. We don't stay very long, but it's still a fun place to visit.

Came here on a Saturday night around midnight. It was a process to get it. Had to find one of the…read morehosts on the street who you have to bargain with for a price to get in. They say it's all you can drink but this was the most crowded club I've ever been to. They overpacked the place so so much. There was constant pushing and shoving. It didn't stop. Had so many drinks spilled on me. The floor was literally black with mud, dirt, and drinks, they had people coming around to mop the floors. It was insane. We spent an hour just trying to get drinks at the bar and they were not even strong. The music was ok. Mostly hip hop. It finally got less crowded at 2am but the place closed at 3am and it was a very rough place. Absolutely zero room to move and dance. One of the worst club experiences. Only good thing is it's open air so it didn't get too stuffy or hot.

My first all-inclusive resort experience, and it's so good that I think it would be hard to top…read more Six days and 5 nights is a good length to stay with children. Besides the price (extra $127/night for a toddler), we had a wonderful experience - the food (both quality and variety), the well-kepted grounds, the amenities (Kid's Club, gym, pools) and the service are all top-notch. Food: there are food available from 6AM to 11PM. Some places I visited multiple times are: The cafe (opens from 6AM to 11PM) - coffee, tea and Frappe available all day. I usually stopped by after the gym (yoga near the beach at 7AM) to grab a iced latte and freshly baked pastires (dulce de leches cruffin is my favorite). Habaneros (opens from 12-6PM) - this is a casual spot serving tacos and ceviche on the beach. Even my toddler enjoyed the mixed ceviche with octupus. I enjoyed the ceviche, salmon toastada, and octopus tacos, while my toddler playyed with sand on the beach next to the table. Moongate (opens after 5PM) - the only restaurant that requires reservation, but for Teppanyaki ONLY. We were able to make a reservation for 5PM about 3 days in advance. The Teppanyaki chefs are all super energetic and made the experience fun for both kids and adults. We went back for dinner, and enjoyed some Asian Fusion dinner of ramen and sushi/rolls. My favorites include Short-rib, Teriyaki Salmon and the Omakase Nigiri. Trade Winds (opens for breakfast and dinner) - best steak in the resort. Last but not least, it took me 3 days to find my non-alcoholic drink of choice - strawberry mojito. I'm not a fan of the pina colada here, just FYI. One thing I don't like is the dolphins in captivity. I know it's a major attraction of the resort, and my kids honestly enjoyed watching the dolphins swim around and being trained. But it still makes me sad to see them contained in such a limited area.

There are about 7-8 different restaurants and they all have their own theme/specialty. For the most part, the food here is amazing.. Like, I would come back as a regular paying customer. The people who work here appear to have a lot of pride and certainly make you feel well cared for. The service has been nothing but amazing. Highly recommend renting a cabana for a day or more. It comes with its own food/drink service (although sometimes we didn't see them for long stretches of time). You also get a free 5 minute facial for two people and two complimentary coconuts. Highly recommend because the bench chairs get taken up early in the day with people who simply put towels on them and walk away. The views here are amazing. The water is warm and blue. Everything I learned about cancun was real lol. I'd definitely come back here again in the future!

We came here at night on Thursday night for the white party which was super awesome and fun! Lots of people in white dresscode in a party spirit and wanted to let loose ! ServIce was exceptional. we were able to dance the night away. unfortunately the pool is a huge ass bummer .. they should Heat it Up!!!!!!! Make it hottt at least the jacuzzi's near the cabana's make it steamy and foamy so you can bathe at the party while sipping on champagne or something lol On our last day, we took the cool see-through lift around 12pm, noticed iit was pretty empty and plenty of lounge chairs to pick from. The service was awesome! Lots of sun and great vibe. Again really sucks the pool is freazing as hell not even one person went in it. Another con, the cabana is real nice but you need to purchase a bottle of alcohol to enjoy it! Real stupid ! It ain't even that worth it. The cabana is bare minimum no bed just a small ass dirty couch. The tv was not playing and the jacuzzi was noot even hot ... i rather just lounge on the chairs and order plenty of drinks by the glass for free Looool The guy was rude about it too didn't like his attitude at all The bathrooms are really cool by the dj bar,, they have lockers with showers and all your amenities you need. Overall, will definitely come back here as there's no screaming kids ! If they can heat one of their pools that would be awesome too please !

In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.

WOW This is our…read morefirst resort in Cancun and I don't think we will ever choose another one. FOOD Wow. We did our homework before our trip and saw Zilara Cancun had good/decent reviews about their food. Let me tell you, this is probably the best food I've had in a long long time. Top dishes for me are the octopus with mole and lobster tostada from Maria Marie. If you like/can eat seafood, trust me on this. The drinks are phenomenal as well. There are signature drinks at all the restaurants. Those are mostly hits but some are misses (depends on your taste buds) PRO TIP: sign up for alcohol tastings at The Den first day you get there. We did tequila and wine tasting. It was quite a unique experience. SERVICE I've never gotten treated like this in any hotel I've been at. Chef's kiss for sure. The bellhop/front desk usually can break your 20s/100s into 1s so don't feel the need to exchange pesos (unless you want to of course). The workers at the hotel (and around Cancun overall) takes USD PRO TIP: there are a lot of activities hosted by the hotel. Morning exercise classes are really fun and the night shows are just okay. The crowd is definitely on the older side that just want to come to Cancun and chill not party. From hearing the reviews, Zilara had the most amount of activities from various first hand reviews from our friends All in all, solid resort. You won't regret it!

We typically go to the excellence Cancun, but they didn't have two club rooms the weeks we wanted…read moreto go so we picked the Zilara and overall I'm glad we did. FOOD- I overall liked the food. I wish they would have advertised/told us the buffet had different theme dinners. They were our favorite for dinner. There were good dishes at each, but nothing phenomenal. I really liked the lunches they had set up by the pool. It was overall good and on par with my expectations for an all inclusive. BEACH- this is honestly one of the highlights. The resort had one of the best beaches and ability to get in the ocean. If you want to get in the ocean, this is the spot. SERVICE - this was the most disappointing. At Excellence you cannot breathe without someone asking if you need something. It took a long time for people to check on us and we tip well. Day 4 we finally found Humberto who was THE BEST! Find him and tip him well. ROOMS- they were good and I was happy with them! POOLS- the pools were fine. A little shaded. The most annoying part was the cabana situation. Some are free, some are always paid, and some are paid on certain days. I get up at like 6AM every day anyways so I got good cabanas but if you're not an early riser you're screwed. Overall, I'd return!!

It's a gorgeous bar, with all kinds of fancy seats and booths and what looks like beds everywhere.

It's also a place for shows and entertainment, with a show every night at 8:30 -this week you could choose from 70's songs, Carribean Night, a Michael Jackson Night, Broadway Night, Mexican, International, and Circus.

The place was packed and folks were standing three deep in the lobby to watch the three acrobats walking up a pole with their hands and feet, spinning around, moving up and down, head first and feet first, then standing on each other.

Our server Miguel was great. One of my friends ordered a apple martini. And he had this rolly cart that came over and prepared it infront of us. It had a slice of cucumber and he had then taken a fresh piece of rosemary. He lit it near the rim and aromatically added rosemary to the martini! My friend loved it so he drank 3 of them. I had a mango martini. It was good but after drinking all day didnt want to overload before dinner so i only had a few sips but it was good! Espresso martinis. Were also ordered i was told it was delicious. I dont drink coffee so it didnt interest me. 8:30 the music starts pumping the fog machine starts to pump some fog smoke. Then the dances started coming out in such vibrant costumes. In this lounge the sj booth is in the middle and open we were on the side. And everyone was all over as the dancers performed in the middle. I felt like i was at a dancing with the stars performances. Girls were getting flipped had head pieces on. And the guys knew how to shake it!! The costume changes were quick and they came out from one routine to the next! Cant wait to go back tonight and see it again. Everynight they change the genre. Tonight it was spanish. Last night we missed it but it had. American songs like ymca. Music from the 70s The next few nights the shows included. michael jackson performance. Amazing!! Mexican night with traditonal mexican clothes and dances International night. Had some bollywood dancing Broadway night. Was great had some hairspray, wicked, west side story. Numbers!
