“Overall Great Stay!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

I would rate this hotel "5 stars" if it wasn't for one of the restaurants we ate at. (More on that later:)) First of all, the beach/pool area is fantastic! We had been in Cancun for 7 days staying at a rented villa, and then 4 of our parties came to te Krystal Cancun for 3 additional nights. We booked 4 rooms and all were in great condition. We loved the sound of the waves coming through the patio doors in the morning and at night! The people at the "Best Day" tour desk were excellent! They set us up with some great tours and were super courteous. The rooms were cleaned on time and very well! Beds were great! Okay, now the restaurants. They need more, and we had a bad experience at one of them. (Can't remember the name but they cooked part of it out on the beach and it was a buffet.). My husband and I went and paid about $60, and all we had was some small dessert off the buffet. Nothing else. The food did not look good and the service of the people cooking was lackluster. We were very disappointed we had waisted our $$. We didn't eat in the hotel after that, so that was a little disappointing. We did go to VIPS which was right across the street and they had several good items to offer at good prices, more of a family restaurant option. So overall a great stay, but I wish we had our $$ back from that one dinner! LOL BUT we will be back to this hotel next year!!

“Great value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

I had a great stay at the Krystal hotel on Dec. 19th-24th. Irwin at the front desk and Gabriel (bell desk) were wonderful. Irwin made sure that I was pleased with the room i got and was comfortable. He and Gabriel were extremely patient during check-in. I am very grateful. The staff was nice. The Club room I had was great. The price was very fair and the view was amazing. The concierge was wonderful tool. Luis there does a great job and was very nice. The beach is also amazing. I highly recommend this hotel to those on a budget looking to spend a lot of time on the beach and partying. It's right next to all the best night clubs!

Room Tip: Upgrade to the Club room which has renovated ocean front view and access to the concierge where a gr...

“Krystal AI - would recommend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

Travelers
- family of two teenage girls
- grandparents

Why I choose Krystal
- hotel zone location
- not high-end, not low-end, something in-between

Staff
- friendly and nice
- no timeshare sales pitch
- priority to Spanish-speaking guests

Food
- Aquamarina: breakfast and dinner buffet was great (mix of Mexican and American)
- Las Velas: lunch buffet (pasta, burger, pizza, fish, etc) was good but we weren't really hungry...
- Lobby bar also serves fresh prepared sushi
- El Mortero: we had complimentary dinner here and my steak and dessert was awesome
- food is good but if we'd stayed longer than two days, we may have gotten tired of it
- service is slow but it's ok since we were full pretty much all the time (first time at AI)
- drinks were weak so I mainly drank wine

Location and within walking distance
- beautiful beach
- Coral Negro flea market
- small expensive mall with small food court (I think I saw a Subway there)
- pharmacy and convenience stores
- many clubs and adult-themed restaurants (not children-friendly?)

Room
- very clean
- a little old
- free in-room safe
- free WIFI
- free mini-bar and water

Facility/other
- everything was spotless
- pool was a little old
- one volleyball, no net
- no boogie boards for rental
- beach lounges and daybeds are nice but limited
- two pool tables indoor and one ping-pong table outdoor
- hammocks under patio

Only complaint
- noise from a club kept us up until morning, but ONLY ONE night and only in the North Wing (grandparents in South Wing didn't hear the commotion)

“Timeshare vultures!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

We should have gone with our gut, however we did not. We decided to attend a timeshare presentation.....big mistake! If it was only 90 minutes we probably would have bought in, however it was over three hours and a series of four individuals picking at us like a carcass. The hotel is one of the originals 20+ years old and the rooms smell of it. They do have a prime beach location if you want to be in the middle of the "hotel zone". During our tour we had a "cafeteria" style breakfast, the main dinning room was loud and impersonal, the food was unappealing. The rooms were very dated and the hallways reminded me of a dormitory. The views from the top floor rooms were awesome, however once in the room I immediately smelled a moldy odor. Krystal needs to invest seriously into "first impression" renovations.... This will definitely help with timeshare sales. We would never stay at Krystal, however it was linked to the international RIE directory.
