My husband and I just returned from a 5-day stay at the JW Cancun. The property is gorgeous. The pool is fantastic!! We had an excellent stay. It is connected via a walkway to their sister property next door, the Marriott Casa Magna. Because the two hotels are connected, it is like getting two resorts for the price of one. There are several excellent restaurants to choose from. We dined at all of the restaurants except the Italian and Thai restaurants. You can also charge meals to your room when you eat on the Casa Magna property, so this is really convenient. All of the rooms have a balcony and ocean view; we were lucky and got one that was not facing the water at an angle. Our favorite restaurants were Simply Seafood and La Capilla (an Argentine steak house) at the Casa Magna. Simply Seafood is very reasonably priced too. The deli in the gift shop also makes great sandwiches which you can pick up early in the morning if you are going to be gone for the day. We did this when we went to Chichen Itza.
The property has a great gym with lots of equipment and free weights. I worked out while we were there and really enjoyed having the free weights available. It has a great spa as well, but I didn’t have a chance to get any of the services due to time constraints.
Don’t waste your time getting pesos (except for the bus), everyone there deals in American money and obviously prefers it! Also, the bus system is so easy to use; it will take you wherever you need to go. It is totally safe. Everyone in Cancun speaks English and almost all the tourists are from the states.
As I mentioned in the beginning, the pool is fantastic. They will bring food or drinks out to you. We enjoyed great Cadillac Margaritas and Frozen Monkeys from the pool. We can’t wait to go back. The service is spectacular as well. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!
One note of caution, if you swim in the ocean beware that there are lots of rocks on the bottom when you enter the water and they are somewhat rough.
