My stay at Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun was a mixed experience. While the location is convenient and the staff was friendly, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired. The rooms were small, and ours had a musty smell, which made it hard to feel completely comfortable. However, the beach access was a highlight, and the food options, although repetitive, were satisfactory for a budget all-inclusive.

My stay at Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun was a rollercoaster of experiences. While the staff were overwhelmingly friendly and did their best to make me feel welcome, the accommodations and overall management left a lot to be desired. The construction noise during meals and the persistent issues with my room really hampered what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation. 😔

Rooms

5.0

The room had issues with the air conditioning, which was not very effective despite looking new. I also encountered persistent plumbing problems, including a leaky shower and a continuously running toilet. Additionally, my requests for an ocean-facing room were not honored, leaving me facing a parking lot instead.

Service

5.0

While the waitstaff and service personnel were friendly and eager to help, the management was disappointing. I faced some distressing interactions that left me feeling victimized, particularly when trying to resolve issues with my accommodations. I appreciated the efforts of the staff, but management's approach was a stark contrast.

Location

The hotel is ideally located right on the beach and near the ferry to Isla Mujeres, making it convenient for excursions. However, the surrounding area had some garbage that detracted from the overall experience.

My stay at Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun was incredibly disappointing. While the grounds featured beautiful greenery and some friendly staff, the overwhelming issues with the rooms, service, and dining options left much to be desired. I encountered multiple problems, including a lack of communication and poor room maintenance, which severely impacted my stay.

Rooms

5.0

The room was outdated, had a persistent smell, and I experienced issues with the air conditioning and plumbing. Additionally, I found cleanliness to be lacking; the linens and towels were old and stained. It felt much more like an afterthought than a welcoming accommodation.

Service

Service was inconsistent. While some staff members tried to help, others seemed unbothered by my complaints, particularly the front desk staff. I faced unnecessary confrontations that made my experience feel even worse.

Location

The hotel is situated near beautiful gardens and close to a ferry station to Isla Mujeres, which was a plus. However, that couldn't make up for the poor service and subpar room conditions I experienced throughout my stay.

Dining

Dining options were limited, and the food quality was generally poor. I was disappointed to find that the menu offered the same selections daily, and I was left hungry at times due to unclear service hours and inadequate meal planning.

I had a great vacation at Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun. The warm welcome during check-in eased my initial worries, and the food options were enjoyable, especially the made-to-order omelets and amazing tostadas. However, my room faced the street which was a bit noisy, and I did notice some limited communication regarding amenities.

The resort had nice pools and a snack bar, though there were a few maintenance days that limited access. The bars near the pools offered a good selection of drinks.
