We've been taking a family vacation to Mexico for the past 7 years and I must say this is the worst hotel we have stayed in. I'm not even sure where to begin. First, we arrived and they immediately tried to up sell our room. We agreed because it was a "special" price of $60 a night. When we saw... More

We just spent a week at this resort. A family of four a two year old and a five year old. The resort itself was very nice and very clean. The staff was also very friendly. Our room was an ocean view gran suite and I was very pleased with it. I didn't expect five star quality coming to this... More

We had to upgrade the first day in order to get in our room in the next 4 hours and it ended up costing us another $300.... More

Gran Caribe is amazing!! We traveled with 2 other families 6 adults and 13 kids!! We had such a fabulous time! Food is great. Service is wonderful but most importantly...the kids had a ball. The Real Entertainment around the pool is soooo fun. The fun happens all day long, from Volleyball, water games..etc.... We would go back tomorrow if we... More

The hotel website described our "junior suite ocean view" room as having a private balcony or terrace. This was not the case when we entered our room. Very disappointed. We were told that some people prefer not to have a balcony or terrace. I don't care. Then don't put it on your website that the room category includes something, if... More

We just came back from Cancun, Grand Caribe Real, stayed there 3/21-3/28. We a re a family with 2 kids, age 3 & 9. The reason why we chose it, because it was ranked #3 on Trip Advisor at that time. It is a good hotel, but nothing is perfect. Good things: staff is very friendly. There are 2 pools,... More
