Explore 5-Star Hotels in Cancun

Everyone at the hotel was very helpful and kind. The view of the ocean is beautiful and the pool is very clean. However, the food is at and slightly on the pricier side. In terms of value of money, I think you can get better deals in all inclusive hotels. If you would join a lot of day tours and don’t need to dine in at the hotel, then this is the perfect hotel for you to stay at.

Espectacular! We didn’t want to leave. Just one minor thing I would say, I didn’t like the way they try to sell you tour packages, they insist a lot which becomes annoying.

The hotel feels a bit dated, like one of those older-generation resorts (which is common in Cancun, given that the first Hyatt was developed here back in 1974), but it's well-maintained and the rooms are very clean. The two-bedroom suite is actually a one-bedroom suite connected to a standard room next door. There are many Westin Vacation Club salespeople here promoting timeshares, all part of the Marriott group, and they frequently call the rooms.

The staff were not very friendly, requested for tips though it was included and the beach had a weird smell, there were ants and when we requested for a small cake to celebrate birthday they said we had to pay and stay until 2pm (late check out) to get those services. We were looking forward to our stay but unfortunately we were disappointed!!

Perfectly located on the Cancun Hotel Zone strip, this resort strikes a great balance — close enough to the action if you want it, yet far enough away to truly unwind. The property itself is charming, not overly large, which makes everything easily accessible. The pools are just the right size for activities and socializing, but the real highlight is the stunning beach — that’s where I spent most of my time. Dining options are plentiful with several restaurants to choose from (reservations are required), and the bars offer a wide variety of drinks. The café is also a must-visit. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. This isn’t a massive, party-centric resort — it’s better suited for travelers looking to relax and enjoy the beach in a more laid-back atmosphere. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be refreshing the rooms and hallways, as they’re starting to show their age.

The room was quite spacious, and the food at oiishi was delicious. I made reservations twice, and after 9:30 PM, you can just walk in! The only downside is the reservation system itself – you have to set an alarm for 9 AM to book, and spots are gone within nine minutes. Another issue is that the hotel is a bit far from the beach, requiring a shuttle bus, which meant I only made it to the beach once in three days, haha. The hotel service was excellent overall, and the room service at night was really good! Remember to tip them around $5, and your room will be super clean! Lastly, bring some throat lozenges. It might be the hotel's water, but my throat felt uncomfortable every time I drank something, so I ended up spending a fortune on throat medicine, haha.

Good review: A surprisingly wonderful stay, I'll definitely choose this place again next time! This stay at [Hotel Name] completely exceeded my expectations. From the details to the service, everything felt incredibly thoughtful and welcoming. I absolutely recommend it with a full score! First, the hygiene and environment were impeccable. The moment I opened the door, my eyes lit up. The room was spacious and bright, the air was fresh with no strange odors, the sheets and duvet covers were perfectly white and smooth, feeling soft and comfortable. The bathroom floor was dry with no puddles, and the sink and toilet were wiped spotless. Even the shower glass had no water stains, making for a truly reassuring stay. From the window, I could see a small garden, which was particularly therapeutic to wake up to when opening the curtains. Second, the facilities were comprehensive and considerate. The air conditioning in the room cooled and heated quickly with very little noise, ensuring I wasn't disturbed while sleeping. The mattress was moderately firm, and there were pillows of different thicknesses to choose from; I slept for two nights without any back pain. The room also came equipped with USB charging ports, a hairdryer, and bottled mineral water. Even the toiletries were pump-style and felt high-quality – every detail showed great care. Finally, the service was warm and efficient. During check-in, the front desk staff greeted us with friendly smiles, quickly processed our paperwork, and even proactively shared information about nearby restaurants and transportation routes. When I called the front desk midway through my stay to borrow a charger, it was delivered in less than 5 minutes. Check-out was even more efficient; verifying information and issuing the invoice was done in one smooth process. They even kindly asked if we needed help calling a taxi, showing no impatience whatsoever. Such a hotel with great value for money and excellent service is truly perfect for travelers. I've already recommended it to friends, and I will definitely choose this place again the next time I visit this city!

We had an amazing stay at Altitude at Krystal Grand. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Our room was beautiful, very spacious, and extremely clean. The ocean-view balcony was one of our favorite features, we spent so much time relaxing there, enjoying the incredible views and peaceful atmosphere. The location of the resort is truly one of its biggest highlights. It sits on one of the best stretches of beach in Cancun, with crystal-blue water and calm waves that made the beach experience unforgettable. The beach service was also a huge plus and something we appreciated, especially compared to other Cancun resorts we have stayed at. The restaurant options were great, and we had no issues making reservations during our stay. Overall, the service, atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings made for a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. There are a few areas where the resort could improve. The pools and many of the bars close a little too early, and extending those hours would make the experience even better. The buffet could also use more variety and improved dessert options. Adding something like a self-serve ice cream station would be a great addition and is something many other resorts offer. Aside from those small improvements, our experience was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return to Alttude at Krystal Grand for another Cancun vacation.

We transferred from the adjacent Sunscape resort and had specifically requested a direct ocean-facing room. To my disappointment, it was still somewhat angled towards the southwest, which made catching the sunrise rather difficult. However, the service was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly polite. The front desk even called to check if there was anything that could be improved. I mentioned that the buffet didn't seem as extensive as the other resort, and she promptly helped me book a table at the East Asian restaurant. I enjoyed some Peking duck there; although the preparation was quite different from what I'm used to, it was still a welcome taste of Chinese cuisine. The price was comparable to a beachfront room at Sunscape, but this resort felt significantly more upscale overall. The property is larger, boasting more and more beautiful swimming pools, a well-equipped gym, and a wider selection of restaurants. Breakfast was offered at three different venues; while this meant each individual buffet wasn't overwhelmingly huge, the dining atmosphere was vastly superior – very quiet, with extremely fresh food, especially the salad greens and fruits. Most importantly, upon check-out, they provided us with a pass that allowed us to continue enjoying the resort's amenities – including food, drinks, and pools – until 4 PM. This was an enormous help, as we had a long time before our flight and were wondering how to fill those extra couple of hours. Drawback: The Wi-Fi connectivity was poor. Even after staff attempted to fix it twice, it remained unstable, so I eventually resorted to using my own mobile data.

Disadvantages: The food is slow to serve. It is recommended to make reservations in advance. The facilities are a bit old, but it doesn't have a big impact. Pros: The food is delicious. The sea water is very clear. Victor at the front desk is very enthusiastic and helped us upgrade the room for free.
