Planet Hollywood Cancun Resort

We enjoyed our stay at the resort, the rooms were nice however there was some dust in the room. There are many restaurants to choose from and the food was good. The shows were fine. I’ll come back again.

This is a great family resort. So many things for my young kids (8 and 4) to do. The water park was great, the beach has amazing white soft sand. The superhero parties, the shows at night, the staff especially Sergio at the Sol Cal buffet. The flowrider and the staff there were also amazing, they way they helped, taught my kids. The one thing that left a little be desired was the room. I have also been to PH in Costa Rica and the rooms there were amazing, the room in Cancún, was dated, run down slightly and advertised as 2 queen beds but they are only doubles. The food was great and we had no issues booking into a la carte restaurants using the app.

Let me start by saying that everyone will have their own experience and thank goodness ours wasn't as bad, as some reviews I've read. After VID, most resorts and their quality went downhill, and what was considered 5 stars before now can barely get to 3.5. With this mindset, you won't be disappointed... Cons summary right of the bat: - crowds and lineups everywhere you go  everywhere and for everything - upgrade to Star Class if possible - you will be helped by a butler to book "always busy" restaurants. Otherwise, good luck getting them, especially if you're here only for 7 days - to get a spot by any pool, you'll likely have to get up at 5:30 AM. Otherwise, it's all taken. Good marketing and selling of Cabanas and papagayas, this way  they guarantee you a spot for $ - rooms are outdated (unless you're in Prime/Star suites and upgraded buildings), especially when you look closer in the shower and bathroom. Our door didn't even have the lock, so we had to prop it when taking a shower as it kept sliding open. The shower had yellow water and mold, and it took water shoes to wear in there. - there's no covered theater with seats, like many other hotels have. Good luck getting a couch seat to watch any of the nightly shows. The hotel itself is beautiful, the main area, restaurants, cafe fuel, and movie theater are all done very well and are very pretty, especially at night with all the lights on. There are enough activities to keep kids and adults entertained.  This is the hotel where people stay up late. There's a lack of shade everywhere, but you can walk through the buildings to get some cover from the sun during the day. Food : Personally, I enjoyed the main buffet  SoCal  but only if you get there right at opening. Everything is hot and fresh, and line up isn't for 30 mins to get your food. Getting in after the opening takes a while, line up is huge, and food is cold. Italian restaurant was 2.5/5, and I wouldn't recommend it at all. Steak restaurant was 3/5, every piece of meat we ordered had fat we had to cut off, more than half of the piece was gone right away. Teppanyaky restaurant 4/5, chef and his shower was incredible!  Service otherwise was very slow. Burger place for lunch 4/5, kid enjoyed it, which meant the burger was prepped well. Restaurant by the beach for Star Class/Prime members 4/5 , best decision for breakfast at it has the same choices and fewer people than main. Pools: Lazy River, kids, and family pools aren't heated and are very cold Star Class pool is warm, and I wish they checked your bracelet, as it gets overcrowded quickly, being smaller, and the only warm pool in the resort Beach: Clean and sandy, no rocks in the ocean There are not enough beds or shade, though, so you have to be in love with the sun to stay there Kids club: Amazing!  Kids have many different activities and are always kept busy. Spa: We had complimentary hydrotherapy and massage,  both of which were wonderful. Would recommend
