I was traveling by myself and was trying to stick to a budget. It was my first time in Cancun and my first time in Mexico so I picked the Hotel Zone. The Ocean Spa resort was very safe. As a single woman I was not concerned for my safety at all at the facility, on the beach or walking in the area. There were lots of friendly tourists and families. The facility was very clean and staff were friendly and helpful. My room was nice, clean, comfy with a nice shower. I was pleasantly surprised when all the meals (including the bar) were included in the price. I thought it just included breakfast. I really enjoyed the food. The buffet always included healthy options but you could dine off a menu as well. There is a walk/bike trail on the road that is clean and easy to exercise. The ferry to go to Isla Mujeres was about a 5-10 minute walk. I took that by myself and felt very safe touring around that island. The only thing I would say about the Hotel Zone is that none of the beaches seem that great. Lots of seaweed. The beaches on Isla Mujeres were pristine. The other thing is I couldn't find was a place to get a pedicure so I went without! All and all a really nice stay. I'd recommend Ocean Spa and would stay there again.

This has a nice family atmosphere. The food was good, all the staff were very helpful and it was very clean. We did not get sick eating the food or drinking the water. We ocean water was a bit murky so we didn’t swim there but took the shuttle to other beaches. Note: it did cost more upon check in than Expedia had listed (17000 mxn instead of 10000)

We stayed Sunday to Sunday. The first night we arrived late we headed to the buffet to eat and the selection was so so small and unappetizing we ended up doing the snack bar instead. Burgers and hotdogs from the snack bar are terrible. Stick with the pizza if you even dare book this place. Technically there's 1 buffet and 3 restaurants, but the restaurants are NOT open everyday. You need to be very very aware what is open on what days. The beach is terrible with tons of seaweed and rocks/concrete. The pictures are extremely deceiving. None of the furniture pictured is present on the beach. The chairs all need to be replaced as they are incredibly worn. The water is ok, you can go out pretty far and only be at waist hight HOWEVER lots of little brow jelly fish present. An absurd amount of vendors (activities, hats, cheap jewelry, sun glasses, fruit), you get pestered every 20 minutes. Staff does not bring you drinks on the beach like other resorts. Music is always too loud by the pool. Plus sides: cabanas are free, not busy at all so you never have to fight for a chair in a good spot either by the pool or on the beach. Warning for parents: ADULTS ONLY IS NEXT DOOR, if you don't want your kids seeing topless drunk breasts, do not walk towards that resort. There is a fair gap between the two resorts so if you stay on this beach it's not a concern. This beach does sit between 2 busy docs. It's loud and obnoxious between 9-11 and then 2-4 at launch and return of all the tour boats

Overall I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was excellent, the food was really good and there were a lot of healthy options which was great. The room was comfortable but very outdated. Easy access to the pool, the ocean and a nice walking path right out the door. The entertainment staff was outstanding. It is a small and quaint place and I really enjoyed my stay here.

Unlike all of the disappointing and discouraging reviews here, I would like to give them 4 stars 🌟 review for the following reasons based on ny own experience and priorities. 1- Very polite, caring and honest staffs from the front desk to kitchen to house keeping to maintenance , security and management. Hotel was always full staffed for 24/7 services and were always available and caring for any requests. 2- Cleanness, everybody cleanings that includes the cleaning of the rooms, pools , restaurants, landscaping, etc. 3- Diversity and availability of foods and drinks. Open bar and buffet breakfast with international cuisine. 3 restaurants that offer Mexican, Italian and Asian food every night from 6 to 11pm. Open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Daily hot and fresh Grill and pizza from 12 to 6 pm. 4- Close to all major activities that are offered by other recreational businesses like ferry, daily tours, shows and etc. 5- Pools for kids and adults with the open side bar. 6- kids zone with limited activities that worth trying and will keep your kids busy enough for hours. NOTES, 1- If you want to spend dollars not the pesos, take enough cash with you as the banks, ATMs , businesses will charge large transaction fees. 2- The building will look old but they have done lots of interior remodeling and painting to keep it to look updated and renewed. It worth the money you pay lesser than other all inclusive hotels that offering the same services.

The staff were great, property was clean. The pool was not the best, needs renovating, upgrading. Low quality drinks/alcohol. The buffet was ok, but the restaurant food Asian & Intalian were not good. The beach area was very disapointing. Cannot swim in the ocean, too much sea weed. The beach is not swept, cleared as in most resorts.

DONT PAY FOR A ROOM WITH OCEAN VIEW, you will not get one! I did, and my view was the playground. Was told there was nothing we could do about it, even after showing the front desk people my reservation that clearly stated “ocean view”. Other than that, the bartenders were very nice. Food came out quick at the restaurants. The buffet had barely anything to chose from. It’s a very small, not very lively resort. Overall, I don’t think I’d recommend staying here.

A nice property with welcoming and positive staff members. A beautiful location right off the beach. When I checked in they could not locate my Expedia reservation and that they were completely booked up with no information from Expedia. The staff member had me e-mail them a copy of my reservation and other supporting documents. I was asked if I could/would cancel my Expedia and book directly with them. I was told that there was one cancelation and I would be given an emergency booking for a different room. I accepted the room and enjoyed my time staying at Ocean Spa Hotel. I checked my email and saw that my Expedia information was affirmed. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The inclusive option included a restaurant and a buffet. The restaurant was very good.

I like this property. It is the third time I’ve stayed here but I do see signs of wear and tear/decline. I stayed four nights and not once did I have hot water for shower. The staff is always excellent I do have to give special kudos to everyone jumping in to clean up the debris from hurricane Grace!

Beautiful beach, if small. Nice pool and lounge area. However, the food was terrible!!! Bland and almost always undercooked!! Seems as though the chef had no idea what spices were and we were afraid to eat the pork as it always looked raw in the middle. Away from the resort the local food was excellent but when you pay for "all-inclusive," you don't expect to have to go spend a lot of money finding something you can eat that you have to pay more for. The hotel staff were very friendly and courteous but the rep for the travel agency, Ms. Leticia Molina, was extremely rude and discourteous!! It turns out the travel agency fails to disclose that you must attend a timeshare sales presentation to get the price we paid, so we ended up paying another $400 or lose a whole day having someone try to sell us something we never wanted. NOT what we went all the way to Cancun to do, and VERY deceptive of the agency!
