Comments from bermude on Great Parnassus :

Very nice, it seems to be in a boat. Beautiful beach and sea with strong waves. Park water slides. 15 minutes from the airport.

Positive :

Spotless, the park water slides, three pools, the appearance of the hotel, a la carte restaurants not need reservation, buffet, crepes, pottery workshop. This was the second liver we were going and we were all happy as the first.

Negative :

Waves in the sea are strong.

Comments from chandelle on Great Parnassus :

The atmosphere, the service and the atmosphere is really Hereafter my expectations. The staff is discreet and smile is always present, except the butler of one of the restaurants. He told s hang smile and he pulled out a pictogram smile from his pocket ... it was certainly not the only comment to him! The rest is perfect! A family trip that we never oublira.

Positive :

One has the impression of having lots of servants to our service. The maid was always a little extra to put the blanket and stuffed our granddaughter, she used originality every day. Very clean, I walked barefoot in the room without fear. The buffet is good, lots of choice, there is something for everyone. Children are served in the club Baby section. Plenty of slides and games for them. Things to do on the website of the hotel: painting, photo taken by a professional, can be photographed with either a monkey, parrots, higouane. I would definitely return.

Negative :

Theater performances are not very varied. Internet a bit expensive. but hey, we not spend our day on that, we go to give news to our loved ones.

Comments from lurochele on Great Parnassus :

Fantastic Voyage! A very nice hotel, great staff, very well maintained and with many possibilities.

Positive :

A big plus are the a la carte restaurants with no reservations required. The beach is beautiful, well maintained. We always have had a palapa on the beach to alternate between sun and shade ... We attended one show but we enjoyed. Many families with facilities for children but also corners reserved for adults. It was a favorite, we will return for sure!

Negative :

The architecture of the hotel ensures that sounds are amplified, especially at night. We had a room on the side because it seems odd that it's quieter. For people traveling with infants, there is no microwave to warm milk or regular fridge in the rooms which is a drawback for some ...

Average score (4.4/5):

Comments from marcthibault on Great Parnassus :

Very large complex, very chic. A bit cold for really high end. As against this, can occur in all restaurants in a casual (at least at night for men long pants and sleeve). Room very nice and comfortable. Beautiful view from the room on the lagoon side.

Positive :

Travel in November is to have chairs on the beach without a fight, bars where you can discuss. Have all services without having to queue and reservation in the a la carte restaurants which were all excellent. Everything you need is inside the complex (pharmacy, restaurants, shops)

Negative :

Very large complex which does not lend itself to meet people (every man for himself). Look very impressive.

Average score (4.4/5):

Comments from annecourrier on Great Parnassus :

Excellent value for money ($ 2,300.00 2 adults and a child of 4 years) for a week. Very family friendly hotel, everything is designed for children to be happy (waterfalls, pirate ship, baby club, kids club and teen club, mini golf, entertainment staff and caring educators, bedroom with three bunk beds in a small separate room. The hotel says nothing about the outside but beautiful on the inside.

Positive :

The rooms are very large and the furnishings are tasteful. The bathroom is spacious and functional. All rooms have a sea view but the view is much more beautiful in the odd-numbered side of the hotel. The even side, that is the hotel Iberostar (former Hilton) that they are currently renovating to open in décembre.Géographiquement, the Hilton Cancun is located. Very beautiful and impressive inside it is reminiscent of Vegas hotels, or the inside of a cruise ship luxury. No waiting for a la carte restaurants (no reservation needed) there are always chairs available around the pool and the beach â regardless of time of day (I do not know if that is the period of the year rather quiet). Many food choices. General cleanliness, they collect the dirty dishes instantly and our glasses around the pool. The staff is friendly and very outgoing again, they know how to be discreet. Different pools. Section for adults only (restaurant, pool, hot tubs (2) and bar) allow adults without children to rest. In addition, adults have access to the Hotel Grand Parnassus in their package.

Negative :

The aspect "food court" may appeal to some but I haven 't been charmed. The food is good no more. I have already seen better â Cancun but it's really superior to anything that we eat in 5 star CUBA. The crockery is chipped and could not be used in restaurants in Quebec. The hotel is showing signs of aging (yet we see maintenance men work hard and constantly). I would give 4 stars but no more in all I am very satisfied and I find that there are people just too harsh in their comments. I repeat that is an excellent value for money!

Average score (3.6/5):

Comments from mbouchard98 on Great Parnassus :

Beautiful hotel in appearance but lack of finish on all points. It is very laborious to get your hands on a bottle of water and it's even worse to have towels in the room. The food is ok but not wow. For the kids club and water slides for cons, it's definitely a wow. It is important to note that everything happens inside: access to the kids club, restaurants, bars, etc.. To be considered for a stay of one week but not two.

Positive :

The rooms are spacious and all have sea views Access to a la carte restaurants easy and not limited (but quickly done around the menu.) Slides, pirate ship and Kinds club. Free safe in rooms. Beautiful beach although very strong waves.

Negative :

Hard to get bottled water. Extremely complicated to have towels in the rooms (which is a primary need in a hotel enough!) Hilton Rooms are very bruillantes side. Inside the hotel is very echo expect to be awakened to the sound of the blender, for partiers and slamming doors. The elevators are slow and always breaking down.

Comments from brusims on Great Parnassus :

WoW Super hotel, very clean room and saw how its sea worth of book after sea view, this is the most beautiful room we had in the south (11 trip to our credit). We had the whole family and we all find our interests. The staff is very outgoing we wanted for nothing except the room you have to phone for anything (even towels) in 10 minutes but the problem is resolved. The beach is superb rendering (white sand and stumbles over to go beigner). I strongly recommeded cxette meirveilleuse hotel.

Positive :

All

Negative :

Lack of towels in room
