Golden Parnassus on vacation from March 9 to 23, 2012

Positive :

We spent 2 weeks at the Golden Parnassus for a second time at this hotel, the staff is always attentive, courteous and helpful. Everything is quickly accessible, the room was clean, the maid was good at her job. We were on the 6th floor so the sea view was beautiful, it's the quietest floor and the bed is very comfortable. The beach is now larger, there are sun loungers for everyone but palapas for one quarter of people, so book early in the morning at 5: 30hrs. For quick service restaurants and the food is good everywhere.

Negative :

For our second time we noticed a decline in quality of food, less choice in general, the steak very hard choice for lunch is reduced. They have not corrected the problem of air movement up to the hotel, yet so easily by closing the roof, the restaurant Paradise it sell a lot because of it. At the lobby bar square tables are poorly made one can not go below the knees is very tiring, also theater tables are too low and knees on the edge supports. We were on the 6th floor and the bathroom is tiny, one at a time before the mirror and air conditioning is much ado about the freshness of it can give. And like everywhere people throw their glasses, food, cigarettes on the floor in the morning it looks like a dump, fortunately there are an employee who takes away, but you must watch where you walk because I have seen plastic cups break, it can hurt you severely under foot. Good thing this is an adults only, the atmosphere is relaxed and entertainment are available, we did not always have children who are quick to take all the places before us. This is a 4 star no more.

:

Very pleasant hotel for a dream holiday!

Positive :

Everything was perfect, the beach, the food, service ... If you dream of a place to bask in the sun, this is ideal! It offers fine choice of excursions with TMR. The grill restaurant is excellent, the ribs are a must ;)

Negative :

Lacks some soundproofing! In the rooms, they bring us bottles of water each day, but there is no fridge to keep them cool.

Comments from rozy on Golden Parnassus
:

Pleasant trip ... first time in the south. Was not hot enough the first few days to enjoy the pool unfortunately. We did a lot of activity: Chichen Itza (the pyramid), the catamaran and coco bongo. But beware the guide Sunwing is somewhat mixed in its details of times. The activities were good in general.

Positive :

Nice room (bed but very short). The food was really good, all good and several restaurant. Nice view of the dining room (but the benches are too recessed). The bartender makes the right job, the cocktails are all pretty good. And you have the beach service. The pool is fun because it is just before the beach and has a beautiful view. You can be a dip in the pool and return you to the beach sunbathing. But it was not much enjoy the pool was not warm enough the first few days. The beach is beautiful (hotels must descend a hill about 5 feet and more to go to sea, but not this hotel). No kids (nearby the great parnassus is more pleasant and less crowded), so activity related to sex and alcohol (but not necessarily fun for adults, it's more for young people).

Negative :

In the evening, there is always a restaurant that closed and the buffet, so sometimes we had trouble to get seats in a restaurant (it was a good gang also must be said). In a couple of restaurant service was really slow. Buffet a few times you do not have service at all, you have to go get you to drink yourself and get your utensils. Beware of the Chicken ... This happened three times that it was undercooked. Another negative, perhaps because it was in January, but was not hot enough (except for 2 days), lots of wind, cloud, always a red flag to the beach, you could not really go swimming in the sea ??with big waves, you would close and it's not pleasant. And another downside, there was a building under construction next to the hotel, that hides you from the sun from about 3:30-4am.

Positive :

Staff very courteous and aceuillant. Opportunity to get out in the clubs in town with them. Activity on the beach and pool. Room very well cleaned every day. Quiet evening for people who want to sleep. The bar closes at 2am. Very large beach. Not need a reservation for a la carte restaurants.

Negative :

Red flag almost every day to indicate that the sea is agitated. No fridge in the room! If you want water you have to buy at the store in the lobby.

Positive :

We TIME AND my wife and I from 6 to 20 February 2010. This small complex of 214 rooms are very welcoming, the staff is super friendly. We really enjoyed them and Guilberto Pascual, servers at the buffet. Pascual is very dynamic and he forces himself to speak French, tell him the Chinese pie, you will laugh. This hotel is a typical Mexican and clean copy. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained. The service is very friendly to all points of view. For the beach, it has just been redone about a month ago, that the beautiful fine white sand. As for swimming, they are not deep, barely 3 1/2 feet of water and cold enough. Also, there aa free transport to all hours to get to another hotel Great Parnassus we're going to dinner four times. As at the Golden Parnassus, you do not need to make reservations and there is always room. We enjoyed the food is excellent with 2 locations. Our favorite restaurant was the Pier12, yum for coconut Schrimps (at Parnassus Golgen) We preferred the Golden Parnassus hotel since it is an adults only and we appreciated this little side more relaxing. We speak the same to return.

We stayed at the Golden Parnassus from January 26 to February 2. The weather was cool the first 2 days, but after the wind fell and it was hot. At the hotel you can eat very well, no need to book for a la carte restaurant. Also we just enjoy all the services of Great Parnassus, which is located about 10 minutes, the shuttle is back alley. By cons, at Great Parnassus, c is achalende and many children, while Golden is for adults only. In summary, good food, caring and smiling staff, comfortable beds and very clean hotel. For the beach, you have to love the adventure, as there are big waves.

Positive :

food

Negative :

swimming in the sea
