When booking these rooms it shows up as Krystal Altitude... That's confusing to someone who is booking rooms... When we left from outside in the heat, we came into a building that was just as hot inside so no relief until you made it to your room, even the elevators were hot...

    The room is not the room I booked online... They were painting the rooms next door to me and the paint smell drifted into my room... I was offered a different room with no view, and was told a refund would not be issued for the difference between a room with an ocean view, versus a room without an ocean view... I asked if there were any other rooms and they said they wouldn't upgrade me to a better room... So I could deal with the paint smell or take a worse room that cost less and not get a refund for the difference...

    ...The rooms are very dated and not it the best shape. We stayed in room 901 the a/c did not work, the bathroom sink didn’t drain and the shower water pressure didn’t exist... After three nights of no a/c we asked to change rooms and move to the altitude tower... This was at an extra charge of $70 USD per night... The room was very nice and the a/c worked!!... They would rather the beds be empty than let guest use them... I would recommend this hotel however only the altitude tower (adults only) as the main tower is out of date with horrible rooms... I would share pictures of the dated room however I didn’t even want to take pictures I just wanted out... The room pictures I’m posting is of our new room...

    This is the first time being at the Krystal Altitude The staff have been amazing looking after my husband and I. Eating Gluten Free is such a challenge while traveling but Jose, Alonzo and Karla have been fantastic... Alonzo ,the manager,made sure that the chef could make me food that was safe for me to eat while me eating food that was traditional Chichen Itza food... I was even offered a GF cheesecake which made me me so happy... I highly recommend this place - clean- the service was amazing and extremely friendly...

    ...Pros: Place was clean Staff was very friendly Cons: Not enough chairs at the beach, no one tells you this but if you don’t make it, u get to sit your ass down in the sand…the vip section is 150$ a day for 4 chairs! And the all inclusive ones well good luck cuz you can’t reserve them and if your not there early enough you get none :) The elevators theres only 2 working and this is a very big hotel…I don’t know why this isn’t being resolved... The restaurants are a horror, we are a group Of 11 celebrating our friends renewing their vows and we reserved the restaurants in advance making sure to let them know we would all like to sit together... Apparently we were asking for the moon because they kept trying to sit us at two separate tables 6/6... One kind couple offered their table on their actual celebration night so that we can all share a table...

    ...Thank you to Krystal Altitude for a wonderful vacation. From the moment we walked in and we’re met by JP til the moment we left and were wished well by Jesus it was perfection... Each day at the beach Luis took excellent care of us... The beach was beautiful, the water clear and the drinks flowed!... In the evening Carlos took great care of us in the buffet dining room... Freddy made sure we had clean, dry towels all day!... Our room was kept clean and fresh each day... I would advise bringing a Yeti to keep drinks cold, a noise maker to ensure a good nights sleep and pack a smile and share it with the staff who will work hard to make your stay amazing!...

    We went to Risotto restaurant within the Krystal Altitude resort, the service was beyond amazing. I have a lot of food allergies and Zanabria did everything to make sure my food was safe, water was in our cups, alcoholic beverages were replenished and that we were happy with every dish we ordered... Definitely recommend this resturant... ask for Zanabria he will take care of you...

    ...The staff are SO hard working, whether they are serving drinks at the pool bar, cleaning the rooms, making breakfast or working at the restaurants... You get to know all the staff and the beach is a stone's throw away... We want to thank ALEJO especially, you really made our stay a special one... You were so good to us and knew our names from day one it seems... Always so attentive with cold drinks and food but most importantly so great with our daughter, always with the biggest smile... We were given one of these initially for my wife and I and the beds are SMALL... Luckily the front desk were very accommodating and moved us to a room with a king bed the next day... We are vegetarian and our daughter has a lot of food allergies and the staff were always very attentive and they had all the allergies on file which made us feel safer...

    I was really impressed with the Hotel staff simpathy and attendance, in special with Pedro Batun. Pedro is a very committed associate of The Grill restaurant, super thoughtful and kind, always wiling to provide the best service and attention to the customers... We went several times to that restaurant due to him... He made our stay much more pleased and joyful... I would like to thank Pedro for all the attention provided!...

    ...The staff of this hotel are some of the best we have ever encountered in our years of travelling. To name a few of the very best were Celerino (adult pool), Miguel and Mauricio (Managers), Pedro Batun (The Grill) and Arturo and German (Risotto)... They all went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could need during our stay... I have somewhat of a restricted diet and they were always making sure to bring me something either to eat or drink within my restrictions... Both my husband and I are also grateful for the special dinners, especially the dinner on the beach with our friends on their last night and most of all the al pastor tacos prepared on our last night by Chef Andres (thank you Celerino)... Also a big thank you to Fernando from the Grand Vacation Club for spending time each day checking in with us, talking with us about Oaxaca and making a special trip to a market to get some flags for us that we were not able to find on our own... We would like to acknowledge Roberto, the only member of the entertainment team who came by everyday to talk with us for a few minutes... He is a real pleasure to talk with and a great asset to the hotel... I also would like to say thank you to Said the manager who was able to find some alcohol free sparkling wine for me... Whether by the pool (a big thanks to "Bob" for lunch), in the Altitude Tower or in the al la carte restaurants, everything was very tasty and of exceptional quality... All of the staff in the restaurants including the hostesses, the waiters and barmen should be highly commended for their excellent service... Also a huge thank you to Gumercindo (hope I got the spelling right) for always checking in with us to be sure that we were ok and that we had everything we needed... The Altitude Tower morning restaurant and afternoon/evening bar staff, Jose Luis, Gabrielle, Fernando and Jahir, all made our stay memorable...

    Even with feeling a little rough after having a little too much to drink during the day, our server German did a wonderful job taking care of us. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and didn’t force anything we weren’t feeling... He constantly made sure we had our glasses filled and was extremely personable which made it feel like I was eating back at home!...

    ...When my wife and I asked him how long he worked for Krystal Altitude, it was his 5th day... We stayed on the sixth floor and the woman who cleaned our room has gold / metal frames around two of her teeth... She really did clean that room well, The rest of staff was super friendly and helpful & the food was excellent... Jahir (lobby of circular building) is an excellent bartender as well... He made a beautiful, botanical Gin & Tonic for my wife and her sister that they haven’t stopped talking about yet... Go check out Jose in the main lobby and buy a cigar or 3... Unfortunately, I can’t remember our shuttle drivers name ( it stars with Lo) but as he took us to the airport, he was so knowledgeable about the history of Cancun and kept the conversation moving so comfortably that we were surprised that we reached the airport so soon... They have absolutely fantastic tacos and wonderful drinks as well...

All the waiters are awesome, but our personal favorite is German... He’s happy to help and very knowledgeable of what he serves... We kept coming back so much, they surprised us with a special dinner the night before we left... German suggested it, and Rafael the Manager put the plan into action... I can’t stress how appreciative we are for the effort... But the entire Ayami crew went above and beyond to make us feel fancy and welcomed... Come visit the Ayami team- you won’t be disappointed...

    The two main things I want in an all inclusive is a great beach and good food... The a la carte restaurants were also surprisingly good... Lots of selection, high caliber of food, great service... I liked that you could go to the a la carte restaurants more than once... Booking them on the hotel app was a bit hit and miss, but the concierge could usually hook you up... I liked that the mini bar was restocked each day and especially that getting bottled water wasn't a hassle... I was pleasantly surprised that wifi was available throughout the hotel and on the beach and in the rooms... Also, that there were so many English TV channels available in the room... If you like to shop, this hotel is close to tourist markets etc... I also liked the evening entertainment which was varied and just about the right length... I also liked that it was only about 40 minutes from the airport...

    The beach: the beach was beautiful & calm... If you want a pool and hotel where it is even somewhat lively, avoid this place... The best restaurant was the Hibachi and you could always find something to good to eat at the buffet... So were the servers pool side and this was likely the best part of our trip... To the contrast, the drinks at the pool were different from the Altitude tower drinks and were mediocre at best... Rooms: we did have an upgraded corner room in the altitude tower and it was beautiful... Had a good view and the beds and pillows were comfortable... Overall, we were extremely disappointed in the pool and the issue with the crowded beaches due to local access...

    ...This hotel billed itself as a 5 star, read it online... They do not care what goes on in the building, at the pool or on the beach... If you had a complaint about the conduct on the beach or at the pool, they did not care... We packed our bags and walked directly across the street to the Fiesta Americana Grande, a true 5 star, 5 diamond hotel... We tried Krystal because it touted a 5 star rating on their website and showed different pictures of the beach and ocean...

Location is great, centrally located in the hotel zone. Rooms are pretty comfy. Food though is average and not much for entertainment. Nice private beach. Staff is friendly. Resort is compact, can seem small at times. Just enough to call it 4 star.

Hotel's Favorite
This was a wonderful resort for our family. We stayed in the Tower and had access to the exclusive lounge and adults only pool. Layout of the pools was great. Kiddie pool was shaded in the morning which was nice when watching them play. There was no need to rush down and save chairs by the pool either, which was nice. Staff was extremely friendly. Restaurant O had great selection of food each day. Making reservations at the nicer restaurants was not hard at all. The app was helpful for our needs. The beach was incredible!! There was a kids game room with Xbox / PlayStation/ air hockey table, foosball, etc. Nightly entertainment was fun to watch. 24 Hr room service was a great bonus too! Really a beautiful resort and the beach was stunning!

Our stay in Cancun was amazing! We stayed at the Krystal Grand Cancun Resort with the all inclusive package. We stayed for 5 nights. As an FYI, book your transportation from the airport to the hotel ahead of time so you don't have to worry about being swarmed by the vultures outside of the airport who will charge you an arm and a leg to get to your hotel (Uber would've worked fine but we didn't look into it enough before getting there, we assumed there was free shuttle but many of the shuttles cost a fortune). One recommendation here would be for the hotel to give you a call before your trip to make sure you have transportation set up and ready to go, and assist you setting it up if need be. Upon arrival, you are greeted warmly and check in didn't take us too long. You pay the tax up front at the desk and they give you your wristband which is the key to your room. They brought us drinks while we were checking in and felt welcomed. JP gave us a little tour and a map to explain how everything worked, which was great because this was our first time doing any sort of all-inclusive package anywhere. He did ask us to attend a little sale pitch type thing and in exchange would give us discounts on certain trips during our stay. The only one we cared about was Chichen Itza, so we decided to attend since he made it sound like a decent discount but I have a feeling that we could've gotten the same price even without attending this. The sales pitch was set up for the next morning. We were told it would only be 90 minutes, 45 minutes of that were eating breakfast (Another reason why we didn't feel it it was a big deal). However, the meeting ended up taking over 2 hours, 30 minutes of which were breakfast, which you eat with a salesperson. They try to sell you on all of these amazing packages for future travel and make it sound like the greatest thing in the world, and it may be but we were not interested in doing anything right away. We told someone no, then they brought in their boss who we also told no and were thanked eventually for our time and then they brought in "Quality control" who is really just another salesman and he tries to keep selling you on this. This was the most frustrating thing and makes me not want to stay at another Krystal resort again. However, if you just say no to this meeting at the beginning then this whole paragraph is avoidable and I think we would've been slightly happier with our stay. The room we got had a beautiful view (We got a partial ocean view which surprisingly had a great view of the ocean aside from a couple of palm trees blocking some of it). The smell was awful though and the air conditioning could not even bring the temperature below 21 C (About 69.8F) at the most, but usually was around 22.5 C (About 72.5). It still felt fine in there because it was so hot outside but we definitely wanted to crank it lower at times because the rest of the hotel does not really have any air conditioning. The fridge is small and barely chills your drinks down, so don't expect much there. They do keep it pretty well stocked with all you can drink sodas and water. There are 3 buffets throughout the day. Breakfast from 7-12, Lunch from 1-5. Dinner from 6-10:30. The buffets were okay, nothing special and are usually the same meals everyday with maybe one or two things changing. The room you eat in is very very hot though, and it would be appreciated to have better air conditioning in there (We sweat so badly in there). You are able to make 1 reservation every night to one of their 3 restaurants (1 of the restaurants has 2 options for reservation, I will get to that next here). You make the reservation anytime after 9am for the same day. You can do this right on your phone. If you have a particular time you want to eat, I recommend doing this right at 9 so your slot doesn't get taken. Otherwise, you can log in an hour or two later and be fine. Ayami (Japanese style food) Eduardo at Ayami was amazing, we had a great experience here with him. His recommendations were top notch, and we felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated by him. We went here our 2nd night and our last night as well. Our last night we reserved for Hibachi which was really fun! It's definitely not as good as any other hibachi place that I've been to, but was still a very fun experience. Sadly, I ended up getting food poisoning from this place and the entire trip home was awful. I got the pork and my girlfriend did not, so we believe something was wrong with it. Overall, this was our favorite restaurant out of all of them. The Grill (Not sure what style of restaurant this one was going for) This place was very lackluster. It looks pretty elegant inside, but it was very hot in here and we did not get our drinks refilled for a solid 20 minutes at one point and we felt like we were dying. The food was not quite what we were expecting, and maybe would recommend adding some pictures to the menu as the words do not do a very good job describing what you are getting. This was our least favorite restaurant out of the group. The Risotti (Italian style food) This restaurant definitely falls right in the middle in terms of quality of the other 2. Decent, but nothing the blew our socks off. I don't have anything too great or too bad to say about this place, just average. Overall the restaurants weren't all that great in our opinion. There was always a few things about them each night that made us not enjoy them (Aside from the first time we went to Ayami, that was awesome!). There are 3 pools, 2 of them you get access to as a Krystal Grand guest. The infinity pool you only get access to as a guest of Kyrstal Grand Altitude which is very confusing and frustrating, why have 2 different resorts on the same land? Booking will not tell you this. This is one of the reasons why we chose to stay here and didn't even get to enjoy it. Going back to the sales pitch, they try to upsell you on staying with Altitude. While you are booking, they do a very good job of confusing you and not making it clear that these are 2 different resorts (Don't get me started on there also being a Krystal Cancun which is ANOTHER totally different resort that we thought we were getting access to. They branding needs some severe work). There is a swim up bar at one of the pools though which is very cool, and there are servers that will bring you drinks and food. The drinks were where our biggest disappointment comes in. We barely got a buzz at all off of these things. You get maybe a splash of alcohol in your drink unless you physically watch them and keep asking them to put in more, and even then you still don't get much. To bring everything together, we felt like we stayed at a pretty poor resort and did not get the luxury feel that we were expecting. Everywhere we turned we felt like there was another expected charge for something (So much for all inclusive). The things that we did get access to were very poor. However, staying in Cancun made some amazing memories. So if you can get an incredible deal here somehow, I would recommend it. Otherwise, go somewhere else. I believe you will get a better bang for your buck and have a much better experience.

Jahir is the best and only good part about staying at this hotel. He went above and beyond to make our hotel stay a pleasure. The restaurants, room service, and buffet food is mediocre. Excellence club for reference.

The staff was great, in particular Jahir in the bar at the tower lobby. The rooms were nice, the location was great the bars were all walking distance! The food at the hotel wasn’t the best but there’s options near by!

Jahir the bar tender is super cool. He helped set up the happy birthday set up. The food at The Grill was terrible and everybody hated the food. So much that we had to tell management. The location is excellent and the main strip is at walkable distance.

The staff is awesome but the quality of food and quality of bottles are not that good. The VIP section of the hotel didn’t have many of the higher quality bottles expected from a VIP section. Jahir the bar tender is the best. He took his time to explain drinks and help me maneuver the hotel and Cancun. Nelly at the beach was awesome. She moved fast and always had our drinks and food going. Roger accommodated us when we arrived late for our reservation and was very patient. He took the time to understand any issues and found us solutions.
