OVERALL: I LOVED this resort. Went here for work retreat of 21 people for 4 nights. Lucky work paid for alot of it (thanks!!) but I did book spa treatment :). It is on the very high end yet you won't be disappointed because the quality of service and experience staying here was truly exceptional. RESORT Nizuc is close to the Cancun airport, away from the hotel zone. It is very safe for guests to stay at because you enter and exit through secure gate. Very peaceful, it is not situated between other hotels so it feels more secluded. The resort is kid and dog friendly. Can do paddle boarding and snorkeling on the property. Pretty much don't even need to leave at all during the stay. Hotel handled arrangements for our group in connecting us to excursions and transportation. (ie: catamaran to Isla Mujeres, Chichen Itza + cenote). Stayed in ocean view room with 2 queen beds + balcony. I was by myself but can easily fit my family here with no problem. Housekeeping cleans room daily and does turndown service so check your treat in the small bag each night, it's something different. You can exchange dollar to peso at the front desk without problem for when you venture out of the resort to places that only accept pesos but I couldn't change peso back to dollar. The entire resort accepts dollars and all major credit cards. MEALS We had buffet breakfast (roughly $50 USD pp) at the cafe de la playa and there are plenty of options. I always requested Mexican hot chocolate and loved eating the cottage cheese with papaya & guava. American continental is offered (pancakes, waffles, omelets to order etc) but also local Mexican flavors worth trying for breakfast. Variety of pastries even mini pan dulce! For dinners, the restaurants our group dined at prepared 3 course menu to make it easier serving a group of 21 people. Dined at Ramona, Terra Nostra, and Indochine. The fish dishes were much better than the beef dishes IMO. I would go back to Indochine just to try sushi! So good! Nizuc is kosher friendly and even offers menu for dogs. The room service breakfast was exquisite, beautifully presented and fresh. SPA The spa is not to be missed!! My most serene, cleanest and rejuvenating spa experience to date. The spa gardens are beautiful, with koi pond. I did not have problem booking spa appointment in the morning. Bring a swimsuit with you. Spa hours are 9am to 9pm. I had the Feel Perfect facial which included back massage + exfoliation and a facial, scalp massage in a private cabana for 90 minutes. I would have done a longer spa treatment if there was more time in my schedule. After the spa treatment you go through a hydrotherapy circuit. You start in sauna, cold shower, steam room, ice room, then soak in a large and spacious jacuzzi. No bad smell in sauna or steam room!! After jacuzzi you sit in tile chair that is heated, and attendant will offer water or tea, place cool patches over your eyes, do a light scalp massage while adding some oil too. It was delightful FITNESS CENTER It is located next to the spa and has all the equipment you'd expect to keep up with workout routine. I had a good time exercising in the aerobic room. Fitness center open from 7am to 6pm during my stay. Came here weekend before MLK, the weather was perfect. Jan thru May is best time to visit Cancun. I want to come back here again! Highly recommend.

Our balcony (considered "deluxe ocean view") was a great spot to have coffee and ride out the brief afternoon storms.

My man + I recently spent a full week at this amazing resort and wowza! I mean, this place is bougie AF so...what's not to like? From the moment you drive into Nizuc, it's clear this resort is special. The giant entry gates give off a Jurassic Park vibe as you journey into this very luxurious and private resort. The grounds are beautifully maintained with the only sounds being the quiet hum from an occasional golf cart taking guests to and fro. At check-in, you are greeted with ice cold cucumber tea and a cool towel...and from this point forward, every.single.staff.member calls you by name. Seriously. From the butler to the golf car drivers to the concierge, everyone calls you Mr. ____ or Ms. ____. (I'd love to know how they do it, but I envisioned the scene in The Devil Wears Prada where an assistant is required to memorize a photo book of every guest and whisper it into Meryl Streep's ear at just the right moment. Except that there was no assistant and the recognition was universal across the staff. You feel like a celebrity, but I guess for $700+/night you should...?) Speaking of the staff, all I can say is WOW. I have never encountered hotel staff as warm, genuine, and attentive as Nizuc's. Again, not only did they all greet us by name (how?!?) but they also remembered every detail of our itinerary. As we exited the building in the morning, our butler would ask, "Ms. ____, do you need anything before your 8pm reservation at X Restaurant?" Then the golf cart driver would say, "Ms. ____, how did you enjoy snorkeling yesterday?" or "Mr. ____, is there anything you need in your room?" The service was insanely top notch. Within the resort, there are two large pools - one adult and one family pool. Wanting a serene experience, we spent a day or two at the adult pool before venturing to the family pool. Surprisingly, we actually preferred the family pool. Perhaps it was because there were very few kids, or perhaps it was the swim-up bar (okay, it was definitely the latter) but we just found the energy at the family pool to be on point. We spent at least a portion of every day under a cabana poolside where the ambiance and service was totally on point. Super relaxing! I must share that we were there in early October which is, for some strange reason, the low season. We were told the resort was only 20-25% capacity, so perhaps we felt so special because there were so few guests. However, I get the impression Nizuc goes out of the way to provide an insane level of service regardless of season. Not to be outdone, Nizuc's restaurants are top notch. During our stay, we tried all of them and were mostly impressed by each one. (The one exception was Cafe de la Playa, which we found to be way overpriced for average quality breakfast. I just don't need a $32 omelette unless it truly knocks my socks off and it didn't, however I have eggs every morning and had no other option since Cafe de la Playa is Nizuc's only breakfast restaurant. It was the one place we felt a bit price gouged.) Indochine and Ramona were the clear standout dining experiences. And once again, the service was always outstanding. We had no fewer than 3 servers everywhere we went. Nary a sip was taken without someone immediately refilling our glass. Nizuc guests have complimentary access to paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear and we found the reef just feet from Nizuc's private pier to be a quite peaceful place to float and snorkel. My man + I are the type who actually work out on vacation, and we found the gym to be fairly well equipped. There was actually a smith bar, ample dumbbells, a few weight machines, and plenty of cardio options (dozens of bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, etc.). Each time we left our room, housekeeping came in to make the bed, replace water bottles, freshen towels, etc. And each evening turn down service left a note and a sweet treat. While I usually prefer a condo or Airbnb with a kitchen for a weeklong stay, Nizuc couldn't have been more perfect! B O T T O M L I N E : Go! Very bougie but 5-stars all the way around!

I mean it doesn't get any better then this! The food is just incredible, service is as good as it gets, it's just the perfect place for a great relaxing vacation AND I brought my five year old!

All I can say is WOW. If I can give this resort 100 stars, this is it. I have to say this place is on my top 3 places you MUST visit. I went with my husband to treat it as a mini moon and it delivered. I hope and wish for everyone to experience such a place of luxury, all around exclusive service, class, and beauty. This resort and spa has also been listed on Condé Naste's must place to visit and it delivered. From the moment you walk in, the breathtaking views, and amazing architecture- the place is art in itself. It was seriously sensory overload as all my senses took over. The views, calming scent and sounds of the ocean... this was definitely a place of serenity and beauty inside and out. As an Amex platinum member, we were also upgraded to a suite and it was so nice. The views, and the bathroom was magical. I can go on and on but you really need to go to experience this place for yourselves and you MUST go. The spa is another review in itself. I highly recommend everyone to book a spa service here. The infinity pool was magical and the private beach was beyond perfection. The morning buffet was first class and we enjoyed our stay here so much. It is definitely a place for couples as it is very romantic and can't recommend it enough. RUN.

5 star all the way! The service, the venue, the rooms, the food- complete luxury! The ONLY place to stay in Cancun. We went the Ritz for one night at the end due to a flight cancellation and it was terrible compared to the Nizuc! This place it 10 stars out of 5! The vibe is so amazing - it's like you are in Isla Mujeres or Playa Del Carmen yet you are literally only 15 min from the Cancun airport!!!! Get a great rate on skylark travel or a deal on a hotel site so you can avoid the $1000 a night price tag and snag a good deal. It's worth it! You can see the sunrise and sunset! Thanks to our hostess Nazaret for most meals she works hard! Definitely recommend the Nizuc! Romantic, luxury, chill getaway! The music is so good and nice everywhere and puts you in a zen state. Get away from chaos and restore here. Ask for room in front building facing beach, high floor. Compliments to the extraordinary butlers! All of them fantastic! El Punta is so good are there 4 nights in a row! Excellent mocktails on property too!

Man....... there's so much to say about this place you could write a book! Thoroughly impressed from top to bottom from the moment you walk in the door. Place feels like Jurassic Park when you come through the huge stone gates and to the main building. Immediately greeted with an incredible water garden and it's so peaceful! Cool towel and drinks to get you properly checked in comes in handy on a hot day. We went in mid March so just at the beginning of the COVID-19 situation. There were like 100 cases in Mexico, so no one seemed worried, but they were vigilant with their cleaning and you had your temp taken anytime you left and came back to the property. Even though it had just started, bookings were wayyyyyyy down, so felt like we had the place to ourselves! Nizuc sits on a lagoon in the middle of the jungle basically and is very spread out so driving around in the golf carts is a must! With so much foliage, at night you literally feel like you're in Jurassic Park and have to listen to the trees for signs of velociraptors! Everyone was incredibly friendly, the food was amazing and you got more than your money's worth. Rooms were nicely appointed and anything you wanted was just a phone call away. Multiple pools to relax in, beach access and water sport rentals (though you can't get a jet ski and ride around on your own we found out). Gym is incredible. Have never seen a better hotel/resort gym in my life! Got a spa treatment with salt scrubs, wet/dry sauna, hydrotherapy, cold plunge, head/neck massage and decompression area with a pool! Not really for singles, though we came at a weird time with the virus and such. Great for families, couples and people that just want to get away and relax. No crazy loud music and pool parties which is fine by me. It's a pricey adult vacation and worth every penny! Highly recommend

Asparagus with some cold Parmesan sprinkled on top then hit with a blow torch which tastes like pure lighter fluid.
Daniel H.

I would give it 5 stars but the food is no bueno, way overpriced bland and frankly weird. You have got to be kidding.... la Punta is grossly overpriced and had the bizarre asparagus with the lighter fluid torched cheese. We were promised a much better experience at Ramona which ended up with us leaving after three hours of very slow service of each tasting course weirder than the previous. All for the low price of $600 including the 6 total cocktails. Don't get me wrong we stay here often and Nizuc is amazing in every way for esthetics, design atmosphere fantastic staff but the food is just gross and overpriced nonsense that does not stand up to the incredible design and staff. The breakfast is plentiful and the only food that is doable. But most of that is catered in pastries, breads and cereals ... fruit , bacon and charcuterie. Hard to mess that up. I would completely say to stay here for the design, staff and beauty. Just go outside of property to eat...

If you visit this place it is easy to see why we need closed borders. It is nicer than ANY hotel…read moreI've ever been to. And what used to be "the world's largest telephone booth" would dominate ANY hotel in the USA. The people are overly friendly as long as you are not doing shady things. And with billboards offering services directly to your room and a hospital system where you only go if you're sick. The "grey area" is a pretty loose term. The entire hotel is illuminated with L.E.D.'s. The space is immaculate. It was 1/4 mile from the room to the lobby. The ballrooms and convention spaces are like a stadium. (Indoors or outdoors). The public bus arrives every (2) minutes and are often full. It is approximately .50 US to go 30 miles downtown. Just looking at the creative ideas a child could write a book . "This ain't Tijuana". The malls and beaches are protected by federal soldiers and the streets have checkpoints every mile. They obtain your information and destination. If something is off a militia is on alert. In NOLA people go missing all the time. They get discovered weeks later. Would never happen in Mexico . A drunk guy might get out the box, but it is very controlled. These citizens are: smart, efficient, implemented, hard working, drive excellent, fast, diligent, and gracious. It's like walking through a museum. Being from a popular tourist town known for food, this place is VERY advanced. Instead of lounging and hiding these citizens WORK to pass the time. If you need anything just ask a bartender. "Tip and pay, you'll be OK!" LOOK at the photos!

Wonderful hotel! We stayed twice, three years apart and both times were fantastic!…read moreWe came here when my fiancé and I first started dating then again for our anniversary. Every single person that works at this property is out of this world! Kind, helpful and always going above and beyond to make things memorable! There's always a little bit of construction because they're renovating, so plan accordingly by calling with them to make sure the areas you want open, are open. The new speakeasy is super cute. We visited there one evening and have the best time and service! This isn't the same restaurant where you go to breakfast but at night is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Everything was fantastic but all the food on the property is really great! We especially loved to order lunch by the pool. All the cocktails are fantastic, even poolside! Rooms are standard JW with some of them recently updated with the others on their way to being updated. Yes, there is a sort of a musty smell in the air, but that's in most hotels. It's a very hard to keep those highly humid rooms from smelling a little musty. You just have to get over it and enjoy the time outside the room. Pools are super cute and the beach area is nice. There is an adult pool that is open during the day but wish it was open later! Lots of places in walking distance if you decide to venture out of the property but why would you need to! Easy drive from the airport and to the downtown or for departure to Isla Mujeres. We did not go to the island this time but last time we booked everything through the hotel and they made it super easy.

No balcony, no patio etc..They required us to pay extra for a room with a balcony. Well, I couldn't breathe in the original room, so we were backed into a corner and had to pay extra for a different room. Nothing like penny pinching. In addition, the original rooms tv remote didn't work, the lamp was inoperable and it was run down. We were a group of 8, with 4 different rooms. All but 1 group was able to get an 11 o'clock. Their check out was 10, so we all had to accommodate the earlier time in order to operate as a group. The hotel wasn't even busy! It is a far stretch calling this a resort and spa. I didn't see anything that fit in that category. The room we paid to upgrade to did have a great view. I would not recommend this place.

We enjoyed the aquatic aerobics a lot. The individual straw covered chairs and seating areas are nice. Rooms are decent, but we had some issue with the wood blinds being stuck on their rails. Had to get maintenance at night but they didn't come till morning. So first night we slept with a lot of outside light in, no black out. Staff is overall well trained and friendly. They all speak fairly good English. They try to sell you timeshare there -- we passed. The stay overall was decent for the cost. They are a vacation club property so they don't honor Marriott's elite tier benefits either. Food is expensive. We didn't eat on site. There is a bus outside that goes thru the entire hotel zone and to the city. They take either 12 Mexican pesos or 1 USD. Easy. Takes 40 minutes to get to downtown without traffic. With traffic at rush hour it could take 1.5hours -- extremely crowded.

Our luggage was immediately checked in and we were able to check in even arriving early around 11 am. Our particular room was ready and we checked and our luggage was promptly dropped off. We stayed in an oceanfront room which had a beautiful view with a seating area inside and on the balcony. The room and bathroom were very clean and well stocked. I like the aromatherapy touch in the resort and in our rooms being able to choose which scent you wanted was very nice. I loved the separation of the toilet and shower by a wall and doors for privacy when using either. The water pressure and water temperature in the shower was great although there was some water draining from the shower during use. We would generally put a foot towel down to contain the water. The room was serviced twice daily so we were never without towels, etc. I also utilized the laundry service which was reasonably priced for three pieces of clothing and it was returned the next day. The staff was generally very courteous and helpful (we only had one less than courteous experience with a waiter at the Hidden Garden on our last evening). The food at the restaurants and by the beach and pool area was great - I cannot say enough about the fresh fruit and the grilled ribs and chicken so well seasoned and cooked with flavor. We ate daily in Siete for breakfast (the smoothie station you will need to go to first because it fills up because the smoothies are sooo good). We also dined at Hidden Garden where I enjoyed Indian cuisine which was delicious (but a small portion). All inclusive so it was nice not having to continually carry payment and only the gratuity needed for the staff. The last two mornings of our stay there appeared to be construction in the room next door or our floor which was disturbing - we did alert the front desk staff and it would generally stop around a certain time. Getting beds and chairs at the beach was generally easy but for the pool it was the hunger games usually having to place towels or bags on chairs early to 'reserve' them (there are no reservations for chairs only for the larger cabanas for an additional fee) We also experienced the spa which was amazing. Highly recommend visiting during your stay. The spa ritual is so relaxing and the couples massage in a combined room was great. Would definitely stay again. $$$

Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or friends, I highly recommend this resort -- it's truly outstanding. We'd love to give a special shout-out to a few G.O.s who made our stay unbelievably memorable: Guerson - He set the tone for our entire vacation. I attended one of his sports classes on the first day, and his energy and vibe were amazing! My husband and I really enjoyed sharing great moments with him over breakfast and dinner, and we made it a point to join his classes whenever possible. He's a gem! Nelson - We met him during dinner one evening, and he instantly brought such a great vibe. Friendly, fun, and full of energy, he made a huge difference at the classes and parties. He knows how to connect with people and keep the energy high -- the perfect host for any celebration! Tarik - Always smiling and full of positive energy! Tarik was my hero -- he quite literally saved me from an epic fall while I was grabbing a drink and didn't notice a step. Out of nowhere, he appeared like a superhero and caught me mid-fall! Beyond that, he's hilarious, approachable, and just radiates good vibes. Betinha, Blake, and Yerko (Circus Team) - They were absolutely fantastic! Patient, encouraging, and super fun as they guided us through the trapeze. Their performances during the night shows were outstanding -- we just wish there had been more opportunities to see them in action. Truly a highlight of our trip. Mara and Juan - These two were the heart and soul of the "Botega" bar during our tequila and mezcal tasting. Their knowledge, humor, and great energy made for such a memorable experience. We found ourselves going back just to hang out with them before dinner every night! Luis (Resort Manager) & Cristal (Jade Manager) - The resort has such a great vibe, and it's easy to see it starts at the top. We had the pleasure of meeting both Luis and Cristal thanks to a good friend of ours who works at the resort (Agnes), and we were truly impressed. Their dedication to excellence and hospitality was clear in every aspect of our stay. You're doing an incredible job -- thank you for making this such a special experience! We'll definitely be recommending Club Med Cancun -- and all these amazing people -- to anyone who asks about our trip. I'm sure there are many more incredible staff members we didn't get the chance to meet during our week there, but we already can't wait to come back. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

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!

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!!

This was my first all inclusive and i gotta say it was so pretty! I'm impressed! This hotel has…read morewonderful views, we were up on the 7th floor and loved that cause we could see the ocean and the lagoon, sunrise and sunset! The lobby is beautiful, it's a smaller resort so we could easily find out way around. Lots of choices for food and drinks, we never went hungry! But I ended up in the buffet the most, just loved it! So many choices, you could get a different meal every time! Stick with the Mexican foods, so good! Swim up bar, get any drinks your wanted in the pool, so pretty! Easy access to the beach and walking along we saw turtles just hatching! Our room was comfortable with the AC working great, very clean! Bring lots of $1 for tipping, many employees all around!

Very rambunctious and unruly guests at the swim-up bar. They were insulting me in Spanish and…read morelaughing uproariously. I told the Bartender (who noticed and understood the insults and looked pretty uncomfortable too) that I didn't want to be too upset during my birthday trip by cursing anyone out. I asked him if he could tell the rowdy hotel guests to chill out and be respectful. He did,and sure enough they stopped. They calmed down and stopped all the insults and laughter. Aside from the weird hotel guests,I had a wonderful stay. Excellent customer service and friendly staff ,great location,very clean facility. I would definitely return one day.

Prior to our arrival, we emailed the concierge for transportation to the hotel from Tulum. The…read moreemails were responded to in a timely manner and everything was as promised. Check in with Diego was a breeze. Although they did not offer us an upgrade, which could have been possible through our credit card partnership, he did let us pick a room from what was available. We picked 5044. The view was good, not a full ocean view but we did have a partial ocean view. The hotel and room were very clean. The staff was very attentive and anticipated our needs. I was very please with the hotel. It exceeded my expectations. If I ever return to Cancun, I would stay here again.

We recently stayed at Kempinski Hotel Cancun for six days. We have been coming to this property for…read moreyears, back when it was The Ritz-Carlton Cancun, and it has always held sentimental value for us. That history is the main reason we kept returning. Unfortunately, for the past two years, our experiences have declined significantly. The hotel no longer maintains the level of service and standards we once loved. The atmosphere feels different, the staff are not as welcoming, and there is a noticeable lack of attentiveness and care. During this stay, we had a particularly unpleasant two-day experience at the beach regarding the setup of lounge chairs and umbrellas. Rather than going into every detail, I will simply say the situation was handled poorly and left us very disappointed. What was most upsetting was that no meaningful effort was made to resolve the issue or make up for the inconvenience. Even after speaking with Guest Relations, who mentioned contacting the General Manager, nothing improved the following day. No accommodation or gesture was offered, which was surprising given the hotel's luxury positioning. It is also noticeable that the property feels quite empty during weekdays, except on special occasions or long weekends. Even then, the warmth and hospitality we once associated with this hotel seem to be missing. That said, I want to sincerely recognize Valenzo, who served us daily. He was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. We never had to ask for anything, he would notice small details, like refilling ice before we even realized it was melting. His service was outstanding and he truly tried to make our stay better. Thank you, Valenzo. You made a difference. It is genuinely sad to see a place that once meant so much to us lose its standard. We hope management takes guest feedback seriously and invests in retraining staff to restore the level of service this property was once known for.

We stayed here for a few nights. Unfortunately, our flight got canceled, and we got in a day late…read more While I totally understand why, they wouldn't accommodate us by pushing our stay back a day. Update: we've come back a couple more times. We have had good experiences every time we have come here. The kids find the slide boring after a couple rides. They have some activities during the day stuck a beach volleyball that is fun.

DO NOT STAY HERE! We stayed at The Westin Lagunamar Ocean…read moreResort Villas & Spa expecting a high-end experience and got the exact opposite. We arrived late and asked for bottled water, and were told to just drink the sink water... in Mexico. That alone set the tone. I also repeatedly emailed our concierge for assistance and received no response whatsoever. Our room smelled like mold, and the sheets were damp. Housekeeping replaced them, but the odor and overall condition never improved. Not what you expect at this level. Then it got worse. We had two rooms, one at this hotel and one at a neighboring hotel where a large group of our family was staying. That other hotel requires wristbands, which we had, so security here assumed we didn't belong, even though we had rooms at this property. At the pool, they approached us publicly and repeatedly questioned us, over and over, in front of everyone. No attempt to verify privately, no discretion, just standing over us and making a scene. It was humiliating. Then it happened again. While checking out, we crossed back onto this property to retrieve our luggage that they were holding. Security stopped us again and treated us like we were doing something wrong, only to confirm, once again, that we were legitimate guests. Two separate incidents. Same behavior. The level of aggression and lack of professionalism from security is completely out of control. This is not how paying guests should ever be treated. This wasn't just a misunderstanding, it was a failure in how guests are handled, and it happened more than once. We will never stay here again.
