Sol Melia Vacation Club at Gran Melia Cancun

We just spent a week at the Gran Melia and found this to be an excellent resort. Our room was a one bedroom unit in tower two which was one of the older vacation club rooms. The room was nice with two entrances, a master BR area, living area & two balconies. However, we took a tour of the resort and the new vacation club rooms in tower one (which is dedicated for vacation club owners only) are MUCH nicer than the older rooms. Overall we found the resort to be quite nice and considered buying into the vacation club while we were there. There were a couple of things that steered us away from that and are listed below. Overall I would rate this resort as 4 1/2 stars.

Positive - Beautiful hotel with gorgeous lobby. pools, grounds, etc. The new rooms are awesome. Outstanding restaurants that are reasonably priced. All staff we encountered we extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the classy, relaxed feel of the resort.

Negative- The steps in front of the hotel might be tough for older people. Older vacation club rooms was nice but was disappointing after taking the tour of the new rooms. We did encounter some fruit ants in the kitchen area of the room. I understand this is very common of tropical areas and was a minor annoyance that forced us to keep the kitchen area spotless. The all-inclusive option seemed way over-priced at $85pp per day.

Overall very nice resort with a high class relaxed feel.

Just got back from Gran Melia Cancun Resort. Beautiful in every way! We were treated like royalty. They just added a 5th pyramid for Time Share guests and the rooms are exquisite. The restaurants, music, food, staff, pools, beach and spa are wonderful! ***** Pat in Chicago

Had a great 1 night stay here, room was clean and so was the resort... there is a smell of mold when you walk in the front door but that may be from all the plants.

Really top location in Cancun. Extremly friendly staff. Clean, Excellent Food, Golf course on site

Only down fall is long walk from road and many steps up to lobby.

Stayed at this resort twice and loved it. It caters to hotel guests including conventions, but has a new wing for T/S guests. The hotel lobby is huge with a fantastic tropical garden. Three pools overlooking a very nice sandy beach. Top maintenance and housekeeping. A service oriented resort in prime location. Three restaurants, exercise facilities, all services. Definitely rates a 5 star. MikeS
