Do not blame me, my Clint Eastwood means mug, but it is time to reveal the good, the bad and ugly with regard to my recent stay in Hilton Cancun.
Don’t worry – the good weighs much larger than the space for improvement. This luxury hiding place offered unparalleled service from top to bottom with spotless terrain, incredible international dishes, timely room service and a few swimming pools on the beach to die with Attent Guardian – not to mention that of my room Oceanview Wrap-Around Balcony That let me ask if I would ever go down for dinner, or would just opt for room service.
This all -embracing resort was literally a breath of fresh air along the light -hearted Caribbean coasts away from the chaotic and exaggerated composite “hotel zone” where Cancun is too famous for.
What was most striking for Hilton Cancun was the most important real estate. If you have ever been to Cancun, you know that every millimeter is justified with Ritzy Resorts stacked like LEGOS… but not here.
While you make your way through the opening gates, you will find a huge reserve of lush mangroves with an incidental spinakes perception, a connection Waldorf Astoria Resort and Spa, and a sweeping view of the open sea.
Scoring a lounger at the swimming pool, or better yet, reserve one Bali -Bed Never was a problem. Although I was the favorite international destination of Americans, I could no longer have been impressed by this remote hiding place, while others in the hotel zone fight for space in swimming pool foam parties that nobody asked for.
If you want to book a holiday from an Ancun, but hesitate over dealign with crowds, look no further than Hilton Cancun, an all-inclusive resort.
Felt like home away from home
Believe it or not, this was my first trip to Cancun. I know, I know … I am way too late at the party.
During the flight here I couldn’t help it, but I wondered how “Touristy” Cancun would feel, but I was really lucky to book Hilton Cancun.
Those hesitations were quickly illuminated when my driver took what a never -ending road seemed to be away from a busy highway to one of the most relaxing resorts I had to visit.
There is the construction in the neighborhood for what another hotel tower seems to be, but I have never heard an echoes of Jackhammers or exercises to ruin my zen in the swimming pool.
As soon as I arrived, I was greeted with a welcome drink and accompanied to my room, my friendly servants who showed me how easy it was to book room service – all you do is scan a QR code on the downside of your wristband and Voila! Your choice of sandwiches, hamburgers or pizza will arrive within about an hour.
My room was one of my favorite in the recent memory (and I have been a traveling fool lately!) If you can swing him, Request room 4060. It is a spacious corner room with a shower that is larger than my entire apartment.
The best of all is that the room offered an unparalleled view of the ocean and the aforementioned Wrap-Around balcony that I used for both work and pleasure.
There was no mistake with my room – no thin walls, no broken TV remote, no doubtful spots.
The king -size bed was heavenly, WiFi was fast, the water pressure of the shower was perfect, and there were many channels in English, although watching CNN’s talking heads not the ‘home away from home’, I feel that I am talking about – it is the warm, attentive service, posh comfort, and read that I could stay longer than a weekend.
Let’s eat about food: build-your-in-or-fajitas & beachceviche
Remember that Hilton Cancun is an all-inclusive destination. I guarantee that if you arrive hungry, you happily leave. Just know that there are some upcharges for certain items such as lobster and different wines.
The resort offers ’12 all-inclusive culinary experiences’ as their website says. I ate here, and I really recommend them all:
- La Luce (my favorite)
- Auma (Delicious Argentinian steakhouse)
- Vela (a buffet of rotating dishes)
- Maxal Taqueria (modest Taco stand with Ocean views)
La Luce struck me the most. It’s a traditional one trattoria With wood -fired pizzas and flawless seafood. Although I did not get a pizza because I am already a doughjoy on the scales, I opted for fresh seafood and a few rounds of wine – I definitely order the Gamberi picotta!
The apps, starter and yes, I took a few bites dessert, were all phenomenal. The picturesque patio and salty breeze made it even more fun.
But there were a few unique aspects that I couldn’t have lunch every day before lunch. The first is one Build-Your-Eigen-Eigen-Fajita Station in VelaProbably the most popular lunch place on site.
The other was tucked away in a corner by one of the swimming pools -a taco stand that looked directly from Mexico City next to a ceviche stand that looked straight from Baja.
I couldn’t help it, but enjoy both, but Ceviche was the clear winner between the two, which served fresh fish, octopus and shrimp.
Cancun’s seaweed invasion: Has Hilton Cancun been hit?
You have probably noticed above the water of Cancun that it looked more like the Tijuana river than on the postcard blue waters that we are all used to – it is true.
Cancun sees crazy quantities of Sargassum, an Icey brown algae, wash ashore and put a damper on holidaymakers put photo-perfect beach days.
Some even wondered If they would visit Cancun At the moment at the moment. After I have seen the beaches myself, I say yes, you still have to visit because there are easy ways around it.
While the coast of Hilton Cancun did not have their best moment, it is not due to their own moment. Their employees walk into themselves rawless and try to keep beaches clean and unspoilt, whether it installs barriers or pull a lot of seaweed through tractor all day – it is simply impossible with the beaches of Cancun Achieving ‘crisis levels’.
But here is a Hilton Cancun -Maas in the floor. The resort offers one Free shuttle To another Hilton site, Luifel from Hilton Cancun La Isla.
From here it is about a Uber ride from $ 4 to Blue Flag certified Playa Delfines. I visited just as described. There was much less seaweed and the waters were clear at the Maldives level.
There is also another Maas in the law. Hilton Cancun offers day trips to Akumal Close to Tulum via a third -party guide. You can swim with sea turtles and diving cenotes For just $ 120!
Would I visit again?
The next time I visit Cancun, I hope to stay longer and Hilton Cancun is at the top of my list.
This was a great first taste of Cancun – literally! There are also a number of really cool experiences Next time I hope to try that this time just didn’t fit in my tight schedule:
- Exclusive access to the Waldorf Astoria Spa Riviera Maya next door
- Wine, Tequila and Mezcal tastings
- Fresh coconuts
- Curated Picnicks
In general I had a great time, even with the beaches that were not forbidden. The resort is so quiet and relaxing, it was a charging that I didn’t even know I needed.
My only disappointment with Hilton Cancun was that neither swimming pool had a swimming bar, although the Waitstaff was fast and attentive, especially when booking the Bali -Bed.
Conversely, even without a swimming bar, the fact that you can walk down at any time and a lounger in the front row overlooking the ocean was an unexpected advantage that I delighted every day.
