Hotels near Kantenah Lagoon

"Spa experience was really nice. The vip pool was nice and quiet. Food was ok, a little more variety would be nice at the buffet. The resteraunts were very good. The staff was incredible."

"I had a terrible experience with Expedia and Hard Rock Hotel Cancun. I accidentally booked the wrong Hard Rock property, then realized my group was at a different location and booked the correct one. This left me with two reservations for the same night. Within minutes, I contacted Expedia to cancel the incorrect booking and request a refund. After multiple follow-ups, I was told the hotel did not respond, and I was stuck paying nearly $600 for a reservation I booked by mistake. Expedia said there was nothing they could do because the hotel wasn’t cooperating. This is extremely frustrating. I acted immediately to fix an honest mistake, yet neither Expedia nor the hotel helped. I feel completely let down and will think twice before booking through Expedia again."

"If you have any food allergies avoid this hotel chain. They have a food legend for each item. It has the food name and it’s supposed to contain the allergens in the food. The problem is that the allergy legend isn’t consistent. Half the time it says nothing only the item like “broccoli” and then you find out later that it does contain the allergen. As someone who is gluten free, after day 3 and finding out that the legend is not used properly, I was required to ask for chef assistance every time I went to the buffet and they would tell me what didn’t contain gluten. Somehow it wasn’t until the last night that they told me the salad dressings contained wheat. They add flour to all sorts of things that is completely unnecessary like mashed potatoes, corn tortillas, Mexican rice, potato wedges and so on. They even told me they steam the broccoli in old pasta water. The room was clean but quite dated. Our first room smelt so badly of mildew that we had to change rooms. The margaritas tasted like weird chemicals and there is only one elevator to service an entire half of the hotel so if you’re on the opposite end you either take 4 flights of stairs every time you want to go to your room or you walk all the way to the lobby to catch the elevator. The main buffet is tile and large grout lines and they push the plate cart around every 5 minutes which reverberates in the entire restaurant and you’re not allowed to eat outside. "

"Catalonia Riviera Maya can be a good option if you’re visiting Quintana Roo on a budget, but there are a few things to keep in mind before booking. First, there isn’t a traditional beach—just a small bay where you can swim. It’s still enjoyable, but it may not meet expectations if you’re looking for long sandy stretches. Restaurant reservations are quite limited. For example, during our 9-night stay, we were only able to book 4 dinners. You can try going to the restaurants around 6 PM to check for last-minute availability (often around 9 PM), but it’s not guaranteed. Also, meals are restricted to one appetizer, one main course, and one dessert per person. Rooms are decent if you book a deluxe option, though they could definitely use some renovations. The resort grounds are well-maintained, and most of the staff are friendly, though we did encounter a few less welcoming interactions. Food overall is average—definitely edible, but not a highlight of the stay. On the positive side, the spa and gym facilities are excellent. The Italian restaurant stood out with great service, especially from Alejandra and Lucas. Overall: A decent budget-friendly resort with some trade-offs, especially in dining and beach quality."

"The buffets were great, rooms were large and clean. The resort was clean with plenty of activities to do for the whole family. The adults only section was amazing we will be back. Did not enjoy the pressure of signing up for a legendary package. Wasted 3hrs because we were told we had to sit there to receive our 200 per day credit "

"More comfortable beds. Place was great clean, nice neighborhood quiet. Wonderful area love all the convenience of the place in PA . But definitely needs comfortable mattresses. Loved the host. "

"The staff was excellent and the whole experience was great. Plan on booking there again next year."

"Shower master room BROKE. Bath clogged. Couldn’t take a shower first 2 days. There is no beach 5 min walking distance as offered."

"The condo was very nice, large and spacious. Had everything we needed. Would definitely choose this property in the future. "
