Dazzling Mayan-infused architecture. An off-the-charts, stress-smashing spa. Ginormous, glistening pools. All you can drink and eat. All resting on pearly-white sand. All waiting for you. Was that a "yes, please," we just heard? Thought so.

Great place for a vacation!
My daughter and I went here for a girls trip and had a blast! Great beach, service, views, amenities etc. Would book here again!
Paradisus is a nice and comfortable place , love the food, any restaurant you go food is great , the buffet is amazing and a very friendly staff any were you go.not to much off party resort if you ask, but you can go to bongos if you want to dance, I was in the 3dr piramos the hall floors weren’t that clean but my room was always clean as I requested, I will recommend family friendly. Love the view in the morning .
I am very happy to have chosen Paradisius Cancún!! Excellent service all the employees were friendly helpful, always smiling, they made me and my family feel at home. I will recommend them any time.
Do eat at the tacos restaurant!
Enjoy beach!
Quick ride to shopping.
I didn’t like rooms, one day room cleaning service left our room open . Found a cockroach 2nd day in bathroom.
Food below average, I don’t go to Mexico to eat American food. Food should be more authentic. Was not impressed with food variety. Never had towels had to go back and check again to get some, at pool area . Beach nice. Overall ok.

Kid's clubs will offer a variety of activities, but we recommend speaking with the resort directly to see what they may have planned around your dates of travel.

My kid was too young at 22months for the kids club. They have to be 4+ to be there and expensive. From what I saw, they had beds and games to keep them occupied.

All of the resort's bars and night clubs are listed on our site, but you are located right in Cancun if you wish to venture around town.
LaurenCC
its about nothing in the hotel. You need to move to Cancun for clubs. You have one bar in the hotel and one small and quiet lounge.
Arcady
the always have a empty discotec and bar/sport lounge nothing happening
ExtensiveTraveler
There is only one other night club at the resort and it is VERY small. If you are looking to party every night this is probably not the resort you want.
NewlyAMrs
There were multiple bars inside as well. In the Royal Service area there was a self service section that had a good assortment of wines, beers and alcohols along with mixers.

Heather
For more information and pricing please call us at 1-800-915-2322.
CaitlinCC
if you want to upgrade, take the Royal service it will cost you atleast 60 dollars per day but its worth it. you get a private bottler and private pool with a private cabana by the beach and private bar and Continental breakfast if you dont want to go to the restaurant. and they'll give you coupons for wines if you go to their restaurant. Royal service is for adults only.
royalblue
$100 gave us a lower floor room (lower floors have bigger rooms)
jamesjm
the upgrade cost me $250.00 USD plus a $300.00 coupon i had used. the ocean view is awesome, the rooms are small such as the those overlooking the lagoon. Plus you are able to heard the noise from the discotec and bar lounge all night long which they should have told me

Are we limited to a certain number of restaurants that require a reservation at the Paradisus Cancun for a 6 night/7day trip?8 answers
For example, only 2 reservation required restaurants per 6 nights?
6 years, 73 months ago

It is up to the resort as to which restaurants require reservations and how many reservations they allow per guest. I would recommend contacting the resort directly at paradisus.cancun@melia.com to have those questions answered, as their policy can change, and I want to ensure that you get the correct information. Thank you!
RobinCC
This hotel includes unlimited food and drinks, but some dining restrictions may apply. Please check with the front desk for details.
CaitlinCC
We stayed for 4n/5d. We were not limited to restaurants but you had to make reservations for each restaurant. The buffet restaurant was really nice, repeated menus but was good.
Shaggy523
No they only ask that you make a reservation prior to going to certain restaurants, not all the restaurant require it. You can eat at restaurant everyday if like or you also have the buffet.
Rumbero75
There are only a few restuarants that do not require reservations. We stayed 6 nights and only made reservations once and had no issues getting seated at the three restuarants that did not require reservations; however we typically ate dinner early enough to see the nightly shows (around 6:30 pm). Later dinners would require a wait for the three locations that did not accept reservations.
FamilyTravelin
Once upon arrival you need to make dinner reservation
for following evenings they have about 4 you can choose from that are included in your package portions are small best place was the Market Grill we had a brazilian BBQ type of dinner
nan77
not all restaruants are opened on a daily basic
ExtensiveTraveler
There are two restaurants you don't have to make any reservations and you have snacks and one restaurant open until 4 to 5 o'clock in the morning so you can really eat all day and yes the sun Beach Restaurant outside which does not require any reservation as well what food I mean absolutely incredible food out there but for the rest you make reservations and you get them quick as soon as you get up there the concert will sit you down and we'll make plans with you love to what time and when you would like to have your reservations you can also done out there is a lot of restrooms on that road as we have seen you can go and eat anywhere from American food too Mexican style food so everything is open past the hotel as well
Elizabeth30
There a couple of restaurants which do not need reservations. If the other restaurants are not too busy, then they honor guests without reservation. I've done that in my trip :) Even if you have last minute plan changes, they made sure you wouldnt be hungry ;) Food is really good in almost all the restaurants.

WE STAYED AT THE RESORT THE ENTIRE TIME. THE BARS INSIDE AT NIGHT WERE NICE...BUT VERY QUIET. THERE WERE NOT ANY SHOWS AND NO LIVE MUSIC. THE DJ WAS VERY GOOD HOWEVER. IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE A FEW CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS ON THE MAIN STRIP OF ROAD BEHIND THE RESORT...MORE GEARED TOWARD THE YOUNGER CROWD.
SWEETPOLLY
You can take a bus to Senor Frogs, Coco Bongos, Market, "party area" for $1.00...we took a taxi and it was $10 one way. Other than that, there is night life in the hotel itself, but its not a party zone or anything loud like that.

You can take local bus all club are about 10 minutes away. It is Safe and it only cost $8.50 Pesos about 80 cents US dollars

According to the room descriptions on their website (https://www.melia.com/hotels/mexico/cancun/paradisus-cancun/Room_description.html), it does not appear that a Jacuzzi is included as an amenity.

Room Accomodations5 answers
I see that the package for a 7 night stay is for a Deluxe Lagoon View Room. I am interested in the Deluxe Ocean View Room. Would I be able to change room type during reservation of package with Cheap Caribbean or will I have to wait to get to hotel to ask for the upgrade?
5 years, 68 months ago
New York
You can change the Room category while reserving a package for an increase of price or wait until you get to the resort and inquire about an upgrade at that point.
LizCC
We booked the Deluxe Lagoon View Room, Royal Svc... We asked for an upgrade at the hotel and as always they want more money and the place was empty!!!!!!!!!!! Just wrote a review, think twice about this property. Been to Cancun about 20X & 1st time here. We were both and are still sooooo sick!!!!!!!!
leeg66
you would have to wait. my suggestion is to stay on the lagoon side due to heavy noise emilating from the discotic and music bar lounge. i was on the 7th floor below the last floor we heard the noise all night long.
ExtensiveTraveler
We changed when we got to to resort. Upgraded 2 rooms from Lagoon to ocean for 1 week for $450.00
RobbyRobertson
I would change your type of room now. We asked about possibly getting a Deluxe Room with Ocean view when we arrived and there were no rooms available until half-way through our trip
NewlyAMrs
Yes , I actually made changes . I changed my vacation from Dominican Republic to Mexico for a small fee . The airlines are the ones who have a higher fee. Room changes can be made through cheap Caribbean .

Are the bars and lounge adults only, or are kids allowed in them?6 answers
Are kids allowed in the bars/lounges?
5 years, 68 months ago
Tammy G.
If the children are not of legal drinking age, they may be asked to leave the bars or lounges
AlixCC
I believe so. If you want to pay extra for Royal Service, you will find more private and adult-oriented areas such as their pool bar. The central location bars allowed kids, but maybe this was because it was the low season? I did not see kids there late at night, though.
Winniesmom
yes they are allowed
ExtensiveTraveler
only the lounge/club is adults only but its a kid friendly resort so if you are going on an adults trip, this resort isnt for you. too many kids!
fia82
Oh yes they are. They had a casino night, couldn't sit a table to play because they were full of anywhere from 8 to 12 year old. Also the bar was full of kids. Great parenting I tell you.
Robert0620
There is really truly only one "bar/nightclub" at the resort and you have to be 18 or older. Everything else is technically a restaurant and kids are allowed. (Just not in the Royal Service building, pool, and resturant, which is adults only.

Domestic and imported drinks are available as part of the all-inclusive plan. In most cases, this does not include premium or top-shelf beverages.

Did not recall any 550.00 credit at all!!
TAGA0NE
It is for your current stay. The hotel credits are bogus. Don't waste your time. You only get $50 off at the spa for each service. $20 off on a $200 purchase at the hotel souvenir shop. No matter how much in credits you have, You can only use small amounts at a time. We didn't feel they were worth anything. We had $1500 in credits and used $0.

You can use for your stay. When you check in ask for your resort credits and they will give you a voucher book with them in it. We used the spa credit.

The kids under 18 get a different color band, however it was not closely monitored if others gave them drinks.

Drinking age is 18 in Morocco.
Amira
There were many spring breakers staying at the resort. A group of them was in front of us at the beach and had brought their guy friends from another resort into hang for the day, and security and management nicely and discreetly told them their guests would have to leave. They have pretty nice wrist bracelets showing your a guess. They put them on at checkin. The minors all wear a very bright one. Staff didn't seem to serve minors.
Zoeygirl2011
Everyone has a color coded bracelet provided at check in (actually a rather tasteful and nice bracelet, not one of those tacky paper type if things). They do not serve anyone under 18 an alcoholic beverage, they are wearing bracelets that identify them as too young to drink. They offer nonalcoholic beverages to those under 18.

I believe that you'll need a credit card like most of the hotels
MJOrtiz2021
No, the credit card you used to purchase the trip is already on the account and was charged beforehand. Should you upgrade then they will probably require a credit card or advise you that they will charge the credit card used to book the reservation.

No they don't they're going to give you a bracelet that you cannot lose that's have to stay on on your wrist at all times and as long as you wear your bracelet you get everything you're all exclusive for me olds to drink to everything no credit card was requested at any time unless at the end of the checkout when we had to pay for the food we had ordered extra to the room service other than that we never had to pretend any credit card or money and the soup or anything extra like in a gift store or grocery store or fun activities.

Is there a dress code for the restaurants?5 answers
3 years, 40 months ago
Trina
For some of the restaurants, for casual elegant, men should wear dress shoes, loafers or dress sandals; dress shirts with sleeves; and long pants or maybe a pair of Bermudas depending on the resort. Sleeveless shirts aren't allowed. Women can wear skirts, pants, or sundresses. Capris reside in a gray area and differ from resort to resort. No flip-flops.
And for Casual, either referred to as "resort casual" or simply "casual," this dress code is not too informal but not overdressed. It's popular at breakfast and lunch spots. For men, it means shorts, jeans, or slacks paired with a t-shirt or polo shirt. Sneakers, tennis shoes, and sandals are generally acceptable, but sleeveless shirts are not.
For women, a blouse with pants, jeans or a skirt works. Casual dresses or sundresses are popular options, too. These shouldn't be too low-cut or short. Bathing suits need to be covered up with a wrap or something similar. Footwear can be sneakers or sandals, as long as there's something covering (and protecting) those feet!
Some resorts call this dress code "informal." It's much the same meaning no swimsuits and footwear required, and a shirt or t-shirt with sleeves for men.
TimCC
Yes, resort casual is the dress code for the restaurants that require reservations (other than Tempo which requires fancier attire). Resort casual is still laid back. We wore sandals, shorts, and a t-shirt.

The resort does offer snorkeling, there may be an additional amount. As the rates will be offered at the resort and may change at any time, please check with the resort directly for the most up to date information regarding snorkeling.

plenty of places for snorkeling with coral reef. we took Jungle Tour that let us ride a speed boat (prob. about 15 minutes) from the lagoon right in front of the resort to a place where we did the snorkeling.
Methuen
No snorkeling outside of this hotel. Too many waves. No reef, and thus the water is an amazing "cerulean" blue color. It's beautiful actually. Best water and sand we've seen yet.
travelguy14
Sadly, there wasn't any at the resort. No reef either. Water was breathtaking and beautiful. There is a company called Aqua World right across the street that offered diving, snorkeling and tours. However, it was pricey as my son did it.

closes at 7, I believe for cleaning.

Unsure exactly, but people were in them well after the bar closed. At a lot of the resorts I have been to, once the pool bar closes, it signals the end of the pool and people start heading to their rooms to get ready for dinner (5-530 pm). But I was eating dinner at 630 and some people were still swimming.

The beach at Paradisus Cancun is not rocky. It is a soft, sugar-white sand beach.
JeannieCC
Sandy
Jeffryvaldez
Very sandy. The sand is from coral as well so it doesn't get hot! Access to the beach is great - go out of the hotel, past the pool, down the stairs and you're there
Rachella
Sandy, very nice easy access. Not rocky at all. Very clean beach.
NewFanofCancun
Completely sandy in both directions. I was hoping to body surf but the tide here makes it harder than on the East Coast USA.

Can one snorkel at the resort?3 answers
2 years, 32 months ago
sherry
Yes, they do have snorkeling available. However, it is often recommended to enjoy one of the many snorkeling excursions to enjoy more variety and frequency in the viewing of tropical fish.
JeannieCC
There isn't anything to see in the ocean in front of the hotel. Do one of the excursions. We did a half day thru Amstar. Saw stingrays and lots of fish. It cost about $60 pp including transportation, gear, drinks, and fruit.
NewFanofCancun
If you bring the gear, yes.
It is not provided otherwise.
Not a good beach for snorkeling anyway.

These things are included as part of the all-inclusive, however restrictions may apply, for a full breakdown of the policy on this, please contact the resort directly.

No, not included free. For additional costs, like most hotels.
NewJerseyGirl
Kayaking, wind surfing, catamarans, pedal boats are free across the street at aquaworld, but you can only choose 1/day. Windsurfing/catamarans require fee to teach beginners. Snorkeling is free.
Delawarean
We booked a speed boat excursion through the resort, but still had to take public transportation to the offsite location. We got there and realized we paid almost 3 times the amount we could have paid if we had just come straight there and booked through them. Lesson learned.
Laydey
I just got back. They are included but you do it in the lagoon at a place across from the hotel. You don't do these in the ocean.

Yes
Helenita
We were told that there is a two bedroom-"like" option where there's a divider between where our kids would sleep and where we would sleep. We weren't told the number of beds though...I suspect there would be a bed room and a sofa bed room, but it turned out none were available for our dates so we never saw one.
