The hype
Families love the massive pools and kitchenettes, but everyone complains about the expensive on-site food.
The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort And Villas
$250-450/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a massive, self-sufficient beach villa directly across from Cancun's best shopping mall.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Zero resort fees (a rarity in Cancun)
- Villas have full kitchens and washer/dryers
- Directly across the street from La Isla Shopping Village
Snel Overzicht: It’s a high-end timeshare masquerading as a hotel, which means huge rooms and great amenities but a constant, subtle pressure to attend a sales presentation.
Beoordeeld door @Kjbland1: I celebrated my birthday here and the staff went absolutely above and beyond. The flaming coffee show at our table was the highlight of the night—totally unexpected, delicious, and so much fun!

Reality check
The 'ocean view' in low-floor rooms (especially Building 1) often means staring at a rocky hill or a bush.
- You are traveling with kids and need a washer/dryer
- You prefer buying groceries and cooking over eating out every meal
- You hate hidden resort fees
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough, but some reports of missed dust in high corners. Daily service is standard.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout is usually well-maintained, though humidity can cause minor mildew in older units.
- Maintenance: Good, but watch out for 'soured' smells from the in-unit washing machines.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and high quality, but sensitive noses might find the bleach scent overpowering.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of white tea (Westin signature), but hallways can be musty due to humidity.

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
If your washer smells musty upon arrival, run an empty load with hot water immediately—it's likely stagnant water in the drain.
- ✨
The 'Kids Club' offers a 'Parents Night Out' service where they watch the kids so you can have a romantic dinner.
- ✨
Bring your own pool floats; buying them at the resort shop is a 300% markup.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The tap water is safe to brush with but tastes weirdly soft and salty due to desalination.
💡You can walk to the Interactive Aquarium across the street and see dolphins without paying admission just by standing at the railing.
💡The 'concierge' desk is often a front for timeshare sales—be firm if you're not interested.
💡Building 1 has a 'sunken' feel on the ground floor where your balcony might face a retaining wall.
💡The internet speed varies wildly by room; the wired connection near the desk is always faster.
