IC Presidente Cancun Resort

IC Presidente Cancun Resort

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

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King InterContinental Signature Balcony, received King Club Ocean View Balcony on Club Floor. These rooms were showing unavailable the day we checked in and they initially upgraded us to a King Oceanfront suite with no balcony. I prefer a balcony room vs the larger space and they eventually switched us.

How are the rooms?
Great oceanfront views and balcony with lounge chairs. It was a mix of toiletries, some Agraria and some occidental but they also provided aloe and lip balm.
Housekeeping and turndown service was automatic every day, did not have to be requested.

​​​​​​

How is the exec. lounge?
Back to self serve! Breakfast had made to order eggs; cold selections of fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, salmon, meat, cheese; hot selections of scrambled eggs, pancakes/waffles, potatoes, meat, sauteed vegetables, etc. Bagels, bread, and a lot of pastries are also available plus fresh made tortilla chips and multiple hot and cold red and green sauces to choose from.

Cocktail hour was great with attentive bartenders. Food choices are back to pre-covid so there are enough options to make it dinner, if you want. 2 hot appetizer selections, 2 cold appetizers, plus cheese, meat, crackers, chips, etc.


Did you receive a welcome gift?
Fruit and a glass bottles of mineral water.

How was the minibar?
The minibar was empty but the front desk sent up room service attendants to fill it on request. Basic but with about 6 different beer options. Didn't get any hard liquor this time and they never offer wine in the mini bar.

What was good and what was bad?

-Good
-- The beach is one of the best in Cancun
-- Hotel room views
-- Bartenders were fantastic at all the bars!
-- Covid test back to US was booked/done on site and was free - we paid $10 each for expedited results in case we had to scramble to find another test. Results were emailed within 15 minutes.

-Bad
-- Still stingy on room upgrades

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Yes, the room rate was great and it included $50 per day for food/beverages.

Would you return?
Yes! The bartenders and concierge all know us by name now
