Overall I was fairly disappointed in the Cancun resort. There were a few positive things I can say but they were mostly overshadowed by the poor attitude of the front desk staff.
PROS:
Location - Close to the strip but far enough away that it's not so busy and loud
Pool - Beautiful pool area. We didn't utilize it while we were there but it was obviously popular.
Room Service - I was very pleased by how affordable this option was and the two times we did order it the food arrived in a very timely manner.
Shuttle Hours - Your in Las Vegas .. the strip is why many, many people come - your shuttle should run past 12AM. It would also be nice if they had 1-2 more stops. Perhaps one in the middle or one at the other end of the strip. It's quite a hike in the midday heat.
Bathrooms - We liked that our room had 2 bathrooms. One in the Master Bedroom with a shower over a jacuzzi tub, and another off of the living room with just a shower. It makes it great if your traveling with friends you don't want coming through your bedroom in the middle of the night to go to the restroom.
CONS:
Staff - The staff in general was my biggest complaint. I work for Marriott and in the hospitality industry so I know what I'm looking for service wise - this staff didn't have it. Half the time they passed us off to the concierge who then told us to go ask the front desk. The morning before we left I had 2-3 things to ask the desk agent. Between each of the items (may I have an envelope, may I buy a stamp, can you make this and my Netflix please) the agent left me and went behind a door to continue her conversation with another staff member. The only POSITIVE staff I had interation with was the shuttle staff.
Shuttle - It was a good to have the option but could be improved.
Room - Kitchen should be larger. Compared to the kitchen at our home resort in Lake Tahoe it was like cooking in a closet.
Housekeeping - On the day they were to service our room they knocked, we answered and asked them to return in 5 minutes so we could put on shoes etc. etc to go out while she cleaned. She said ok but when we returned after driving around for 1 1/2 hours our room still wasn't cleaned. I called the housekeeping manager and explained and told them to forget servicing the room as we were checking out 2 days early. 5 minutes later the girl arrived with her cart again to clean the room.
We are returning to Vegas in March of 2010 for my 30th birthday but I'll pay to stay on the Strip instead of wasting another timeshare week. One would think that you would get BETTER service than the average hotel considering what you fork over to purchase a timeshare.
