This review pertains to the resort, and also the bar/restaurant at the resort. The resort itself first: The portion of the resort that has been renovated into villas for the Marriott/Vistana program is very nice. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated, have great furniture, and a galley or full kitchen (no oven/stove) depending on the size of room you get. We have stayed at Westin Lagunamar just up the hotel zone further, and these rooms are better I would say; perhaps just because they are newer. Unlike the Lagunamar not every room faces the ocean, so make sure you know what you are reserving. Rooms are excellent for families. I have stayed here previously in the non-villa (older) rooms, and wouldn't choose to stay again in one of those rooms. The pools are fine here, and there is quite a bit of seating. The pool bar closes a bit earlier than I would prefer, but this is more of a family location and not really meant for giant booze holidays. You cannot drink the water from the taps here which seems a bit archaic in modern Cancun. I believe for this same reason the toilet water always looks like someone has just peed and forgot to flush. Not the end of the world, but not what I expect at a Westin-branded property. The hotel is literally at the end of the bus route up & down the hotel zone, but is on the route. This makes it very convenient to take the bus ($1US each way) anywhere you want to go. Uber also will deliver groceries here which makes it very affordable to fill the kitchen with what your family may need. The property is going to be undergoing more change soon when Marriott takes this Westin out of their ownership pool and transforms it into another all-inclusive resort...just what Cancun doesn't need. And, the bar/restaurant (Arena Bar): The food is a highlight of this property. I would suggest that the food here is in general better than the Westin Lagunamar. The menu seems to be a bit more varied, and every item my family ordered was prepared properly, and tasted very good. In the kitchen Alfonso ("Penguinito"....very short guy) prepared the pasta meal I had one night perfectly. And, in the bar Humberto (and others) made sure I had the drinks I wanted and made some great recommendations. I'm sad to see this location become an all-inclusive in the coming year or two as the food, its preparation, and service currently really is one of the standouts at this Westin property. ¡Viva Mexico!
