"Next door to sister property and Spring Break mecca... although not as rowdy, it still focuses on entertainment with four daily shows held in the atrium lobby and boxing matches." Full review

"Stretched out between the Fiesta Americana Condesa and the Omni along a kilometer of beachfront, this is Cancun's Animal-House-by-the-Sea, and a year-round spring-break atmosphere prevails." Full review

Guests are treated like commodities here, and security has been known to chase down anyone leaving the hotel with a suitcase to make sure they are not skipping out on their bill.

"Location aside (it is a bit prosaic), this remains a satisfactory all-inclusive operation. Situated 21 kilometers from the airport, it is one of the more isolated hotels from Cancun action. " Full review
