Fodor's "Outfitted with crystal chandeliers, beautiful antiques, and elegant oil paintings, this hotel's elegant style is so European that you may well forget you're in Mexico." Full review
Concierge "The Ritz-Carlton has long been one of Cancún's most luxurious hotels, with a prime location on a quiet street near the Zona Hotelera beaches."
Frommer's "The exclusive Ritz-Carlton fronts a gorgeous white-sand beach, having recently added a significant stretch of sand as part of Cancún's $71-million beach recovery project." Full review
Jetsetter "An outpost of baronial elegance in the heart of Cancun’s hotel zone, with residential-style beachfront and oceanview rooms and activities galore." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the most opulent of the resort hotels along Cancún beach. Guests can choose between two pools, a spa offering conventional and Mayan treatments, and six restaurants."

Fodor's "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
Star Service "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.
Gayot "The beach-front property is nestled between the coastlines of two bodies of water, offering clear views of the Caribbean Sea."
Travel + Leisure "Known as an entertainment-filled vacation getaway, the Grand Oasis Cancun has the longest pool of any hotel in the city." Full review

"Smack in the middle of Cancun’s hotel zone so those who choose to leave the all-inclusive property will find no shortage of things to do." Full review
Star Service "Similar to its Playa del Carmen siblings...this hotel within a hotel is the better of the two Cancun properties, outclassing Oasis Cancun with its superior accommodations and sense of privilege." Full review
