4-Star Hotels in Benito Juarez

This hotel is in a safe area and doesn't offer all-inclusive. I was out on tours all day, so I really only used it for sleeping. Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and a hairdryer. The hairdryer had great power, which was a huge plus. They provide two bottles of water daily; additional bottles cost extra, so I'd recommend heading to the supermarket for more. If you're in a hurry, you can get free water at the gym on the 4th floor. Toothbrushes and other similar items aren't provided. The pool is quite shallow, though I didn't actually use it. There's a large supermarket nearby, so I'd advise using that. There's no kitchen, so self-catering isn't an option.

It is a nature-friendly place. While riding a bike around the hotel, I was able to meet various animals such as coatis, lizards, and iguanas. The beach right in front is beautiful, and there are many restaurants that serve delicious food, so I was happy while staying at the hotel.

I absolutely love this hotel chain. The value for money is excellent. The food is decent, nothing fancy, but there's a huge variety. The staff are attentive. The entertainment is great. This particular hotel has a venue called 'Riu Party' where guests from all Riu Cancun hotels come for parties. The beach is okay, not the most beautiful, but at least there wasn't much seaweed in the water, just a little bit on the shore. The cocktails are alright, though the Margarita was certainly strange; they only made a good one at the Mexican à la carte restaurant. The evening shows aren't that good, they can be a bit boring, but you can always grab a taxi and head into town.

We stayed here for 4 nights, and overall our stay was very good. The buffet breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options. The on-premises restaurants were also good. The rooms are spacious. The pools are lovely, and the beach views are breathtaking. The concierge team was helpful, providing great recommendations for nearby restaurants and sightseeing. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at the spa regarding an appointment issue. We scheduled a massage 1 day in advance for a time that was given to us. When we arrived, there was no record of the appointment, and the time slot had already been given to someone else. The spa also seems to have limited availability for a hotel of this size. What upset us most was how the situation was handled. The receptionist, Amanda, who had made the booking and was also on duty at arrival, didn’t apologize and instead implied that my wife had not made the appointment. We asked if they could trace the call from our room as proof. It was frustrating that such a mistake occurred and that no responsibility was initially taken. We requested to speak with a manager and met with Hector. Unfortunately, he came across as arrogant and difficult to deal with. He stated they would investigate “if the problem was on their side.” When we mentioned the communication difficulties due to limited English, he responded, “You are in Mexico, sir. We are not English, we are Spanish.” Our point was that, at an international hotel spa, basic English communication should be expected. When we asked to record his statement, we were not allowed to do so, and there was some unnecessary sarcasm during the conversation. In the end, we rescheduled the appointment for the following day and Hector offered complimentary hydrotherapy treatments and a later checkout as compensation. We won’t lower our overall rating since aside from this incident, we had a very good stay. However, management should seriously review how spa appointments are handled and how staff—particularly Amanda and Hector—communicate with guests. Having to defend ourselves in this situation left a very negative impression and took away from an otherwise excellent stay.

I highly recommend Oleo Cancun. We had a fantastic time from start to finish. The hotel is not big but rather medium but is the ideal size if you prefer to stay away from those massive resorts that feel more like malls than hotels. However our room was quite spacious with lot of storages and a beautifull view, The staff was extremely friendly and not pushy at all, which was greatly appreciated. The food from our all-inclusive package was delicious, with a variety of restaurants and buffets to choose from. They offered a range of international, Mexican, and Asian cuisines, with plenty of options for meat, vegetables, fruits, and cakes. The hotel is quite peaceful at night, which is nice if you're not looking for a party hotel. The staff was attentive and remembered us, making us feel valued. Our room was clean, and they always tried to accommodate our needs. We paid a small fee for a late departure, which gave us continued access to the facilities and food for a very good deal, perfectly matching our evening flight schedule. I would definitely come back and recommend this place. The location is very convenient for the airport and is situated on the strip.

To start with, this wasn’t my first trip to Cancún, and I’d stayed at a few hotels there before—I’m talking about budget options that were still in good locations. This time, I chose Crystal Cancún; it was much more expensive than the other hotels, even though the difference in location wasn’t that significant. For some reason, when I booked the hotel, (Trip.com) it was listed as all-inclusive, but it turned out not to be. Upon arrival, the hotel asked me to pay an additional $600 USD for the all-inclusive package for 3 nights. The room I was staying in had a door leading to the neighboring room where other people were staying. It was open. There was absolutely no soundproofing. The window facing the street didn’t close tightly, so you could hear everything. But I’d like to give a special thanks to the staff and the housekeeping team. The service was excellent.

It was an all-inclusive hotel for families. There are many types of restaurants and the food is delicious, so I was able to spend time without getting bored of the food. I was able to leave my luggage, change my clothes, and enjoy my meals before the check-in time, and I was grateful for the flexibility.

The room was quite spacious, but clearly very old. Even with a 'sea view' room, if it's located in an unfavorable part of the building, you'll only catch a glimpse of the sea in the distance. The hotel's beach was spotless, no seaweed in sight, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Breakfast was a buffet with a decent variety, though the taste was just average; my favorite dish, surprisingly, was the oatmeal cooked with milk.

The check in process may take a while. There are only 2-3 employees and only one of them has the access to check you in. Nonetheless the workers are all very warm and welcoming. The food was decent too. There’s 2 restaurants, 3 bars, and 2 snack areas (pizza, and hotdog/burger stand). The beach itself is very clean. There was a truck that cleans off the seaweed so it was clean. They also have activities everyday MAKE SURE U STAY UPDATED. I feel like some people does not know about it. (P.S when you arrive to Cancun airport. Uber is not allowed to pick you up but they ARE ALLOWED TO drop you off.) When I arrived at Cancun alot of taxis/ shuttles are trying to upsell me their service. So make sure u have a transit to get from the airport to your hotel!

The room was comfortable and had a balcony. The front desk staff were very welcoming, and check-in was efficient. All the service staff were friendly and made us feel very comfortable. The hotel's location is great, and it has a private, unbeatable beach.
