I'll try to be fair about the Girasol. Yes, it's in a great location. No argument there. You're walking distance to all the nightlife that Cancun has to offer and you're right on the beach. But that's about where the positives end. The pool was only half full. Literally. It was supposed to be 5' feet deep but was onlly... More

I stayed here for the night prior to my departure from CUN. Upon arriving at the Cancun bus station on a grueling 13 hour trip from Villahermosa, I asked the taxi driver to take me to the Hotel Bonampak. Usually I choose hotels online, but Cancun was a unique situation and I was unable to do that. He recommended instead... More

Me and 4 friends stayed at the Girasol Condos for Spring Break March 12, 2011 for one week. We booked thru Student Breaks.-all inclusive package, which is definitely worth the cost for the extra money for VIP passes. Thank you student breaks, you were the cheapest and the easiest to work with. Girasol wasnt the most luxurious hotel but it... More

I rent a room at the 9th floor in December, 2007. The view was magnificent, on the other hand, the sea was far too much noisy thus difficult to fall asleep at night! What obliged me to close the door thus it was very warm in the room. Generally it was appropriate(clean) and the courteous staff. The only point which... More

The views are amazing, sunrise over balcony and sunset on the lagoon. This older hotel, one of the classically designed in Cancun, had been repainted and there were several units being completely redone. There are two pools, one for adults(deep,you can dive) and a shallow one on upper level. I've stayed at lots of modern hotels where the water is... More

I stayed in a newly renovated condo. The studio had been converted to include a bedroom. It featured new window, plasma TV, a beautiful induction cooktop, and superbly decorated touches. We loved the newly restored beach with a safe wall against the waves - the kids felt safe swimming. We loved the family atmosphere, so different from big crowded hotels.... More

I stayed with extended family in two units on the second floor on the ocean side, The building is some what run down, Only one elevator was working, my TV was off for 3 of my 7 day stay and hot water for the shower varied in availability. The other unit had A/c that would freeze up. On the other... More

Stayed at Girasol Penthouse #4 for 5 nights. I'll start with the positive(s)-1) the view was great. Now for the negatives-was told the unit had a "cooktop". Turns out the cooktop was 2 burners, both so rusted they didn't work correctly-took forever to heat up, then heated unevenly even after scraping more than an inch of rust off them. Also,... More

Really, I did not care where we stayed. We were first put on the ground floor with a door leading directly out into the yard, our TV didnt work, and some of the wireing sticking out of the wall was scary, however we were upgraded to a suite with a kitchen, laundry room, and 2 bedrooms. Staff was nice, but... More
