| - This place really isn't that bad. I can here with very low expectations from looking at previous reviews and I'm glad to say I'm impressed.
We took advantage of this place less so as a resort and more so as our living quarters/hotel for 7 days. When we went to checkin, the lobby smelled of yummy coconut which immediately brought me into vacation mode- i thought it was a very nice touch. We had a 2 room apartment- master bedroom with a queen bed and private bathroom, 2nd bedroom with 2 twins, pull out queen sized sofabed in the livin room, little kitchen, dining room, another bathroom, and every room has a balcony (either facing the pool or the street). The living room was a little cramped but we made do. They only clean rooms once a week.
The pool area is very nice- not the cleanest but not noticably dirty. There are hammocks for afternoon naps but they're usually taken. The chichen itza replica makes for a wonderful backdrop. go up the stairs and you'll find waterslides! There are jacuzzis around the pool and one inside the chichen itza if you're looking to get away from the sun.
There is a Food4Less (supermarket) right across Las Vegas Blvd, super convienient for grocery shopping. Since you're in the plaza already, check out the Jerky Outlet. their honey bbq beef jerky is so, so yum.
The outlet mall is not too far away along with many chain restuarants- buffalo wild wings, chipotle, dunkin donuts, burger king..
The strip is ~7 miles away which can be difficult if you're relying on taxis/shuttles. We rented a car so getting to and from the strip took around 10 mins. tip: Every casino on the strip has Free self parking.
Unless I get comped at a hotel on the strip, I'll probably stay at cancun resort on my next visit as well.
