    Great beach, has a blue flag! I prefer Playa Ballenas further up the strip but both are fabulous beaches!

All I can say about the people that were at the beach was that they were *interesting. The beach also had a lot of seaweed on it. This is not the beach where you want to be if you're visiting Cancun. Don't come here.

Right behind Plaza Forum Shopping Mall, at Kilometer 9.5 of Cancun's Hotel Zone lies Gaviota Azul Beach. It is one of the favorite beaches for tourists due to its long and wide strip of white powdered and cool sand as well as the many bars and beach clubs around it. In Cancun, I have been to 8-9 beaches from north to south and found this beach very beautiful. I had been to Playa Norte but due to storm reef-seaweed was all over the shore so could not enjoy there. And I found this beach next to Playa Norte. It is right behind the Hard-rock café-coco bongo nightclubs. You can go inside the water and still you 'll find yourself till waist height. There is one small hill and you can have perfect postcard picture from here with turquoise beach, building, sun and sand. Vendors are there to rent you out reclining chairs and umbrellas for 200-300 pesos. It gets pretty crowded during Spring Break as many events take place on it. Even though most of the time the water is calm, when the wind blows hard the waves get pretty big; an opportunity not missed by local surfers. As this is in the hotel zone, you 'll have to find an access point. Right down to coco bongo signboard, you can find small street going towards the beach. Take that. We found it that good, we even came In the evening to sit on the hill. Breezy wind, waves, sunset, making the time more beautiful. If this beach is not better than not even less than Playa Norte beach.

    Through our online booking we were told we would be picked up at 10am from our hotel. We were in…read moreour lobby promptly before 10 but no ride was present. We ended up having to contact our booking agency who was able to get ahold of Fragata and we were finally picked up at 10:50. Our van did not have AC, thus we had a very very warm ride to the boat. We were let out of the van and told to walk to the end of the path at La Isla Plaza. We weren't given any further direction and were ultimately approached by an employee because we looked lost. We were directed to check in and ended up having to shelve out $70 we didn't expect to pay. Through our booking agency we were told the transportation was $12, and it ended up being $15 (not a big problem). We were then told there was a $20 dock fee per person. An additional $40 we weren't aware of. (Inconvenient, but not the end of the world). We get on the boat and they immediately start blasting music. The ride was beautiful and the staff were extremely nice. Although their English wasn't the best, we got by and enjoyed them. We pulled up to snorkel (expecting that was the purpose of the trip), and only snorkeled for 30-40 minutes. We were given fins and masks, but no snorkel. We got back on the boat, they let folks jump off the boat, but that was the extent of the swimming. We then got back in the boat and were taken to the restaurant in Isla Mujeres. We went to Ice Bar but never say ice, or the bar. The food was decent. The ceviche was the best part. After sweating outside in the dining area, we went back to the boat and were taken to Isla Mujeres' north beach by boat. Once at the beach, you are bombarded by people peddling trinkets and typical tourist trap nonsense. We weren't given any direction and honestly didn't know we'd be going to Isla Mujeres to walk around at all. If you're booking this for a snorkeling trip, I would avoid it. If you're looking to eat decent food and explore Isla Mujeres's north beach, it's a great idea. The final straw to this adventure was the ride back to hotel in the provided transportation. We got into a cramped van with 8 other patrons and the driver had the A/C off. I know it worked because it was initially on, but dear lord the hour ride back to Playa Del Carmen was insufferable. The window next to me got steamed up and was genuinely one of the worst experiences I've ever had. To the point I considered ordering an Uber to make it back. All in all, quite the adventure.

    Amazing service! The staff was very professional, fun and made everyone feel special, is kid…read morefriendly and they provide food for you included in the package. The fee is very reasonable and includes pick up and drop off from your hotel also, open bar and again I have to mention the service was incredible.

The view is breathtaking, the service from the staff is superb, the weather is perfect, the gentle breeze is very relaxing, the swim up bar is part of the all-inclusive price with premium liqour included, and the food by the pool is very tasty as well. AYCD and AYCE by the pool, cant get better than that, and if that isnt enough, theres a buffet located right next to the pool. Yup, I never want to leave this place. In fact, Im actually writing my Yelp Review as Im laying in one of the pool chairs, while sipping on a Black Label and Coke. Bring your camera and your iphones...this area and view is just begging for Instagram posts! Le Blanc Resort and Spa IS DEFINITELY THE PLACE TO BE IN CANUN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! UNTIL THEN!! ^-^

    View is GORGEOUS!…read more Definitely a picture worthy spot in Cancun. I stayed here for 4 days and I loved it every single day. The staff are very attentive except when it gets super crowded. I was sitting out in the patio area when it was raining and even that view was gorgeous. You can order drinks, food and anything you want from any of the restaurants. They have a menu for the pool deck but you can basically ask them whatever you want and they will make it happen. The view from upstairs is beautiful too because you can see the layers of two infinity pools with palm trees in the back. I've seen this at Amankila in Bali but it's a different feel. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cancun.
