    Sunset marina resort & yacht club has been easy and relaxing as a vacation should be.
    Everyone was very welcoming from the front desk to the room service at the end of the night and attentive to our family and didn’t make anything harder then it should be especially in a vacation. employees like Sophia with organizations with the activities and getting people together while playing in the activities, Tadeo making sure Everyone having fun while also playing with us. And also Uriel giving us a ones in a life time experience with an air boat ride while also being a good host talking to us and telling some places that’s has good food and spa spots for the family to experience and since we’re talking about food oscar had on a mask but could always see a smile when serving us food and while eating our food gonzalo was serving us drinks and cleaning up our table with a smile and not bothering us every second if we needed anything. Antonia and sindy have been cleaning our rooms and have made us feel safe during this pandemic because of how the rooms are cleaned and also taking whatever trash and mess their was in the room.
    Thank you so much for your visit, review, and for mentioning your favorite staff members. It was a pleasure to be your hosts here at Sunset Marina. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

    A quiet and lovely resort to relax at and enjoy the warm weather. Our morning yoga session with Gabi was great overlooking the lagoon. After our dinners at the resort or at the various sister resorts we listened to a singer in the bar area. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and the weather was perfect. I was up early working to prepare for classes for the winter semester and found that room service did not always answer or did not come when you ordered something early morning. Our frig was not always filled so didn't always have water. The internet was excellent.
    Thanks you for your your visit and review. We are very sorry that we did not meet your expectations in all areas but we appreciate your feedback and hope that you enjoyed your stay overall.

    I really liked the ambience and design of the resort. They also allow the guest to use their sister resorts and provide both shuttle and boat service free of charge. The amenities' are fantastic with a great pool area and multiple restaurants. The food was delicious and the nightly entertainment was great. The only possible issue was they sometimes forgot to resupply the Toilet paper and face cloths. But the front desk corrected the slight problem. The rooms have a small kitchenet and as we have been in Cancun previously we opted out of the inclusive package so we could take advantage of some of the great places to eat outside of the resort location. We did eat a couple of times at the resort and the food was very good also. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
    Thank you for your your visit and review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay overall and we are sorry to hear about the resupply incident. We appreciate your feedback, it will help us enhance the areas you point out. We are eager to welcome you back soon!

I really loved the Sunset Marina! I didn't know what to expect since I won this trip at a gala. It is a part of a membership (I guess used to be called a timeshare) program but if you don't want to take your time listening to that presentation or joining the club you don't have to. We had a great suite with a small kitchen - even though we chose to the all-inclusive package. Vela Asian Cuisine (one of the restaurants inside) was amazing! They have a wonderful pool and offer activities throughout the day like yoga, pilates and even a cocktail and sushi making class. They are also super helpful when it comes to planning excursions. They helped us plan day trips to Isla Mujures and Chichen Itza. You can also receive transportation to and from the airport. And most rooms have a jacuzzi tub on the balcony. We had a wonderful time!

This property, of the four, is more laid back and a perfect blend for family fun without going overboard. Not too wild and just enough activities to entertain kids. With the water taxi to the Royal and other properties that gives you access to their extended amenities to feel like you have the run of four properties - you just have to sleep at this one at the end of the day.

Vacation here at Sunset Marina with my family. I had a wonderful experience from everyone especially the staff waiting on us at the restaurant. Very professional staff. Big thumps up to Hector Pergoia who always went out of his way to make sure my little boy was happy. Great experience in choosing this place.

Chicago, Illinois1 contribution
Our journey began with a longer than usual reservation at Sunset Marina, but our experiences there prompted a hasty switch from to Sunset Royal. Here’s a comprehensive account of what led to this pivotal decision: Sunset Marina, though promising with its supposed Greek-like charm, turned out to be a far cry from our vacation dreams. The food was not merely disappointing; it was utterly revolting. As a couple who isn’t typically fussy about cuisine, the level of disgust we felt was astonishing. We woke up famished with headaches at 4 AM from not being able to eat anything because the food was that disgusting, we couldn’t manage to finish a single dish. We endured our hunger until we could make our way to the breakfast presentation at Sunset Royal. Our last meal at the Marina was at 6 PM, and we didn’t dare touch food until the following morning at Sunset Royal around 10 AM when we arrived for the timeshare presentation. The Marina’s ambiance, too, was a letdown. It seemed like the Marina’s life was gradually fading away, and the atmosphere lacked warmth and allure. Upon arrival at Sunset Marina, we couldn’t help but notice the distinct air of oldness that seemed to permeate the resort. The architecture and surroundings gave off an antiquated vibe, with elements that seemed to belong to another era. This, combined with the disappointing culinary experiences, created an overall impression of a place that had seen better days. The switch to Sunset Royal was nothing short of a revelation. When we pulled up to Sunset Royal, it felt like we were entering a completely different world. The contrast was striking, as we ascended a hill to reach the entrance, creating a sense of grandeur and prestige. This was a stark departure from the feeling of being dropped off curbside at the Marina, where the arrival experience left us questioning if we had indeed arrived at the right destination. Sunset Royal’s arrival experience was a visual and emotional upgrade, setting the tone for an entirely more refined and enjoyable stay. Not only was it a family-oriented paradise, but it also serenaded us with beautiful music throughout the day and night. To anyone grappling with the choice between Sunset Marina and Sunset Royal, our message is clear: choose Sunset Royal without hesitation. It offers a family-friendly atmosphere, where music weaves its magic, elevating your stay to extraordinary heights. It’s a world away from the Marina, which felt like a place stuck in time, its appeal waning. In summary, Sunset Royal, with its symphony of family fun and delectable cuisine, proved to be the saving grace of our vacation, rescuing us from the disappointments of the Marina. Of course, one cannot overlook the paramount factor of being right in front of the ocean when comparing Sunset Marina and Sunset Royal. The very essence of a vacation in Cancun is to revel in the breathtaking beauty of the Caribbean Sea. While the Marina may offer a lagoon, it begs the question: would you rather gaze at stagnant green water or immerse yourself in the mesmerizing blue, crystal-clear waters that define Cancun’s coastline? The choice becomes evident when you yearn for the quintessential beachfront experience that Sunset Royal provides, with its stunning ocean views that epitomize the allure of Cancun. If you happen to book your stay through a travel agency and find yourself faced with the choice between Sunset Marina and Sunset Royal, be prepared for an initial response that might seem inflexible, as it was in my case. Initially, they may insist that changing resorts is impossible. However, I persisted, even mentioning the possibility of a refund, and the dynamics suddenly shifted. The next day, when I followed up, they informed me that a refund was not feasible, but changing resorts was, without hesitation. It appeared that the threat of a refund request had prompted a change of heart, and they swiftly accommodated my request to switch hotels. So, the key takeaway here is that it is indeed possible to change resorts through your travel agency. Don’t hesitate to assertively push for it, and if necessary, mention your intention to seek a refund. Do whatever it takes to avoid staying at the Marina.

My family and I went for my dads 60 th birthday. We were a big group of 13. And they were great with accommodating us, and they treated us very well. We would go to breakfast every morning at the pérgola and Hector was our waiter, he did such a great job. a couple of days into our trip he remembered our breakfast drinks he was always on top of making sure we had everything that we needed. Very nice guy.
