Marriott Cancun CasaMagna Review
The hotel is not suitable for couples, there are kids running everywhere. If you want some place quite, go to next door, JW Marriott.
How to get there: Shuttle or rental. Cancun is a tourist city, you don’t feel u are in Mexico at all. As I mentioned in another post, I had rental car from Avis
Room: The room is located on side of third floor and just average size and similar look to all Marriott rooms on earth, but it was renovated. Also, the room on third floor has larger balcony than other floors. Unfortunately, the room has no coffee maker. Next day, Frond desk changed our room to King size after 20 minutes search. The king size room looked bigger than double with a sofa.
View from our room(note there is tiny beach at hotel)
Internet/Business center: wireless 1 day 210 peso, 4 days 6xx+ peso, 7 days 10xx peso. I don’t like hotels that still charge wifi, but I understand this is one way hotel making revenue. Can not complaint too much since I am in the tourist hotel zone。 However, this hotel has one of the worst paid internet connections ever.No business center at this hotel, have to go to JW to print.
Pool: There is only one pool in this hotel and it is pretty big. However, u will see a lot of kids playing in the pool and more than a hundred beach chairs around the pool. Fortunately, I can still manage to swim.
Restaurant: The hotel has many restaurants
1 Sasi Thai restaurants, don’t suggest to eat there, not best Thai food.
2 Mikito: Japanese restaurants have Susi and Taipan food. I did not eat Susi here, but Taipan Beef were very good
3 One Steakhouse I did not go,
Beach: The beach is white sand, and soft, I think it was rocky, but the hotel made a lot of effort to make beach better. The beach restoration project is done, I will show you some picture during the progress. The work finished in just few days
Snorkel: No way!
Getting Around: Get a car, there are several shopping center and countless convenience store in hotel zone, but no supermarket. If you want to buy some groceries, you need to drive to downtown Cancun, there is Wal Mart there. Drive in hotel zone is easy, but in Cancun City is not, the road is very complicated and sign is not clear. It reminds me driving in New Jersey, where you have main road and service road. Cancun center has many roundabouts, the hard part is every roundabout has traffic from main road and service road. Easy to get confused.
To be honestly, Cancun is just like Vegas, only difference is location. You don’t feel u are in Mexico at all. If you want some true Mexico experience, should try to somewhere else as we eventually decided to go to Santa Rosa
