IC Presidente Cancun Resort

IC Presidente Cancun Resort

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King InterContinental Signature Balcony, received King Club Ocean View Balcony 9n Club Floor

How are the rooms?
Great oceanfront views and balcony. Room amenities are back to pre COVID, everything you needed was there including aloe!
​​​​​​

How is the exec. lounge?
The lounge was open this time. Breakfast now has made to order eggs but the buffet is served to you by the chef. They never get the quantities right and some days there wasn't a sign to let you know what was there. Had to ask for toast, sometimes they would forget. Not sure why they can't give plastic gloves and let you serve yourself.

Cocktail hour was great but sometimes service was slow. No self serve like pre COVID. Snacks are pre plated but better than when we were there in January.


Did you receive a welcome gift?
Fruit and a glass bottle of mineral water. But the hotels provided a lot of bottled water every day.

How was the minibar?
The minibar was empty but the front desk sent up room service attendants to fill it on request. Still basic -4 beers, 2 JDs, 2 rums, Perrier, sodas.
I went across the street and bought wine for less than $10.


What was good and what was bad?

-Good
-- The beach is one of the best in Cancun
-- Hotel room views
-- Bartenders at the outdoor bar were fantasticday
-- It wasn't crowded at all and we felt extremely safe the entire time-- covid test back to US was booked/done on site and was free. Results were emailed a few hours later

-Bad
-- No self serve in the lounge for Breakfast or cocktails

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Yes, the room rate was great and it included $50 per day for food/beverages. We had a lot of Cheladas on the beach every day!

Would you return?
Yes! Can't wait
