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

I enjoyed the friendly service from the staff, particularly Eduardo and Victor, who really made my stay special. The beach was lovely, but the hotel as a whole felt like it needed some updates. While the food offered a decent variety, it wasn't always the best quality.

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

The room was outdated, had a persistent smell, and I experienced issues with the air conditioning and plumbing.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 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.

While the grounds featured decent facilities, I encountered significant issues with the cleanliness of shared areas, such as restrooms by the pool. I also experienced decent amenities but was often left without basic necessities like fresh towels.

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.
