Paradisus Cancun – Spring Break Review

As a mother of two daughters, ages 8 and 11, I was thrilled to stay at the Paradisus Hotel in Cancun for our family vacation. The resort offered a variety of activities for children, including a kids’ club and pool, which my daughters absolutely loved. They made friends with other children staying at the hotel and were able to have fun while my husband and I relaxed.

We looked many places before deciding on Cancun, and The Paradisus. People warned us to not travel to Mexico, but we were not going to let the media scare us out of traveling. There didn’t seem to be any issues with the resorts, the crime is not with the tourists. We stayed in the resort and main stream excursions and felt safe the whole time.

One of the highlights of our stay was the entertainment offered by the hotel. Every night there was a different show, ranging from acrobatics to live music performances. My daughters were particularly impressed with the nightly shows, and my husband and I enjoyed dancing pool side at night. The entertainment was a great way to end our evenings and added to the overall experience of our trip.

The drinks at the hotel were pretty good, although we did find out that they were only made with base level alcohol unless we upgraded our stay. However, this did not detract from our experience, as we still enjoyed the drinks and the variety of options available. The hotel had several bars throughout the property, including the pool bar, which was one of my favorite spots.

I could write for days on the details of the trip, but for this first post, I’ll keep it light. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Paradisus Hotel in Cancun to other families. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were well-maintained and clean. My daughters loved the beach and pool, and my husband and I enjoyed the entertainment and relaxing atmosphere. We would definitely consider staying at this resort again for our next family vacation.

I am more than happy to answer any questions about Cancun and will post with more specific details and reviews.
