The Beloved Hotel Playa Mujeres

The La Amada was the best resort we have ever stayed at. It was beautiful, clean and we were treated so great by the staff. We will definitely go back. The beaches were beautiful. The room was gorgeous, comfortable and not your typical hotel layout.

My Husband and stayed at the LaAmada hotel in June 2010. The overall experience was okay but there were many things that we found to be "off". I would like to add that it was our anniversary and we would probably have upgraded our room but no one asked upon check in if we were celebrating anything. First of all, the resort is located in a very remote part of Cancun and to get anywhere near the hotel zone is at least a 30 minute cab drive. Because the resort is so far away, we felt that we were unfairly subjected to the hotels "no food or beverage from outside the resort" policy.Some people may not mind not leaving the resort, but during our stay, things were quite boring. The resort had some activities booked during our stay such as wine tasting and so forth but they had to cancel because there was no one there. Also, there were too many children staying there and for such a small resort, they seemed to take over every aspect, even the swim up bar. The thing that bothered us the most was the beach. It was very dissapointing. We come to Cancun every year to see the sparking azure Caribbean Sea, and you just dont get that here. The water maybe too deep or the sand maybe not white enough, I don't know what it was but you could see the turquoise water surrounding Isla Mujeres across the way. Also, there was constant sea grass being washed in on the beach. The resort itself is very pleasant, quite modern and chic. The staff is also very friendly but the food is just okay.

The Amada was excellent. All you need for a relaxing quite break. Although the hotel is not adult only there was no intrusion of its quite senenity by the few children there. Food and service were excellent. Rooms very well equipted but dining options very limited ,however food in the 2 restaurants open each evening was very good. The clealiness of the hotel exceeds anywhere we have been in the Carribean or Central America etc ever( Over 30 years of travelling). They have only just converted to the all inclusive regime so a few probems with room service but nothing that we would complain about. All we can say is we will go back as its probably the best hotel ,value for money, we have stayed in for many years.

La Amada was a beautiful setting for simple relaxation and retreat from the everyday stresses of life. The rooms were beautiful and the housekeeping service was outstanding. The meals were beautifully prepared and there was variety in the menu at all restaurants. The one facility downside was the workout facility. The workout room was warm and humid...rather than a comfortable temperature for exercise. One note of caution: Be certain that you define the details of your package. We were surprised that the all-inclusive package did not include gratuities. Being prepared for that ahead of time would have been better than finding this out one we arrived.
