Planet Hollywood Cancun Resort

Service was great. Our ocean view room was lovely. The room itself was clean but definitely could tell wear and tear in spots but that wasn’t a bother to us. Food was less than to be desired. Every meal left me wanting more so that was disappointing. The beach front was great as well as all the pools and lazy river. We had some issues in our group with charges to rooms that shouldn’t have been there. They all eventually got sorted out but it took a lot of work to make things right. I don’t think I would recommend this resort to family and friends. I would look for a different resort but the island itself was good.

Booked this 'resort' to celebrate my 50th birthday, stayed there for 5 days, from Friday to Tuesday. I had very high expectations after watching several Youtube videos (they must have been paid reviews). To start, 80% of what was shown on the YT reviews was no longer available, for ex. the beach cabanas that used to be free, now they are only available for 'Star Class' guest, pools used to be climatized, now they are not, pools used to have water jets for massages, not working any more, if you aren't 'Star Class' the beach area is horrible with literally no service. There were some ups and downs with service, some of the staff was really nice, but most of it was very indifferent and it was like you was bothering them with your questions, I did not feel welcome. The infrastructure looks like a 20yr old hotel, is very rundown, with cables hanging from the ceiling in hallways, etc. Entertainment was really lacking, you'll expect with the name 'Hollywood' it would be awesome, but it was not. Adult pool barely gets any entertainment and there was never a DJ, during the night the only option was the Disco which opened at 10pm, no shows or anything except for kid stuff. The food was subpar and average at best, if you are from USA, think Gold Corral, that's the quality you get. My NY ***** at the steakhouse was 1/4 inch thick, hilarious, the Mac-n-Cheese was like from a box, watered down and no flavor. Mash potatoes again pretty sure they came out of box. Room service menu was very limited, not a lot of options, not even a soup. The Brazilian 'steakhouse' was the worst of all, all the cuts of meat were over seasoned in a bad way, the taste was horrible, they used the same seasoning for everything, so regardless what cut you get it was tasting the same, they even season the Picania, anybody know you only put rock salt on Picania, it was disgusting. There were flies all over the buffet, overall I did not have any good food at this resort. Alcohol, I'm 100% and open for the resort to prove me wrong, all the liquor at the bars is watered down or altered, I'm a drinker, I know my spirits, even the beer they had on tap was watered down. I was never able to get a buzz no matter how hard I tried. The 'bartenders' didn't know how to make simple cocktails, what a joke. For the price they ask, I could have gone to so many other resorts and got better food, entertainment and service. Definitely not 5star, I would say 3 star at best. Never going back.
