Top Mexico and Central America Hotel Reviews

Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico Zocalo View

10/10 Excellent

"A true gem of awe-inspiring 19th century art-nouveau architecture and design that is centrally located in the Zocalo with a terrace view worth taking in. The only features that exceed its elegant feel is the top-notch service from the staff and its generous amenities. Rooms were immaculately clean with generous toiletries daily. The gym is modern and spacious. The food was gastronomically exceptional and original yet consisting of traditional cultural ingredients in addition to being discounted 30% for hotel guests. Public transportation is easily accesible and many city highlights and attractions are in the immediate proximity or within reasonable distance. This establishment is what a hotel should strive to be in every sense. It was worth the indulgence and I am truly glad to have booked here as the memory of its grandeur will forever be cherished as an indelible memory of my stay in Mexico City. Book it, you’ll be glad you did."

Occidental Tucancún All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the spacious suite. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool with swim up bar was great and adults 18+ only. The beach area was nice with plenty of lawn chairs. It is a smaller resort so everything is close to get to. The only downside was the food. There were not a lot of selections at the buffet and the Mexican and Italian restaurants were just ok. Didn’t go to the seafood restaurant so not sure about the food there. The food I did eat at the buffet was good. We did eat off site 3 nights. Would definitely stay here again though. Definitely get a premium room or suite. Premium has separate check in area. Also you can get snacks and drinks in the premium lounge. It has a few tables to sit at too. Also, all of the bars close at 11."

Hotel Marlowe Centro Histórico

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice, with a good room, comfortable beds, a small TV, an AC, great shower, helpful staff, and a nice design. The gym has very limited options, but it has a spa, a sink, and its own public shower room you can access for free. You just need to bring your own towel and soap. The stay prices are also good. The breakfast buffet isn't free, meaning you had to pay for it. They also have a computer room in the lobby which isn't always open, and it has a security camera. The walking distance to the Centro, such as the Alameda park, Bellas Artes, and Chinatown section, and the bus/train transits, is very close. If you're in Mexico City for the first time, it's easy to get lost. But once you're used to it, especially location-wise, it should be simple finding places. Located near different places to shop and eat, front and back. 4/5 for me."

Krystal Cancun

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay over all. We had a few incidents where our room was already booked to someone else so after check in we had to wait for another room and I didn’t like that most restaurants were for dinner after 6pm there was all day food available but like the food we wanted to try or restaurants we had to wait for dinner. Over all nice stay. Beautiful view and amazing location to all the clubs!!!"
