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.

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 had a great vacation at Hotel Dos Playas Faranda Cancun.
