Just finished up a very nice stay here. Used a combination of 5 night travel package cert plus additional points to book a premium ocean view room which included Club 91 access. Club 91 is still in a temporary location on the 14th floor, and they hope to open the remodeled club in the original location mid April.

We thought the Club 91 food, drink, and service was very good. The evening service is called “Discovery Hour” where they present a few menu items from a selected JW or adjacent Marriott Cancun restaurant. It was very convenient to have dinner there for several evenings. Even though our room on the 14th floor was not renovated, it was in great shape, and we enjoyed our huge balcony. The concierge told us that the club level room renovations start next month. We heard some construction noise for a few short periods of time, but it was never bothersome. No problem with the elevators. We hope to return after all the renovations are complete.

I just called the hotel and was told that indeed Plat+1 would get continental breakfast! That’s some unexpected great news. Also was told that upgrades would be to the premium section of the hotel, but he wouldn’t be any more specific than saying higher floor (above 5th or 6th floor) offering more
premium views and room types. I asked about Spa discounts but he said those details would be provided at check-in.
Club 91 was offered at $125 per adult + $75 for our 12yo and free for our 3 year old.
I am traveling using a 7 night travel package certificate so wondering if I can upgrade any part of my stay using points (ie room type or to Club 91)?
For those who have stayed recently, do the rooms all have pull out couches to accommodate our two kids (they sleep together as it is so they could make do on a pull out couch with a double bed). Thanks!

I am on the property right now for a couple of days. Used my suite night upgrades to a Grand Oceanview 1 BR, and received a newly refurbished room on the 11th floor.

The new look is nice, but a bit austere. Lots of construction ongoing, but not noisy or really disruptive at all. They intend to be fully completed by Dec 10th, for start of Xmas season.

As a Plat Premier, I was presented with a list of choices as my welcome gift. You could have a couple of drinks and snacks (2 beers, water, fruit plate, etc.), the points, or continental breakfast for 2 (which is what I chose). Proactive offer, didn’t have to ask.

The continental breakfast is a set plate, not limited access to the buffet. You get a fruit plate, cereal, pastries, coffee and juice. I upgraded to the full buffet, a little sticker shock at the end, as the upgrade was $19USD ($364 MXN). I think I was expecting somewhere in the $10 range, but it is a good buffet, so not totally outrageous, especially for Cancun.

For upgrades, I think really the quality of the view is all that can be expected. The rooms are very similar (with the exception of the suites, of which there aren’t a ton), and every room in the place has an oceanview, so higher floor and closer to the water is all one should legitimately expect.

One final thing, the minibar fridges now have a side compartment, that seems to be left open for guest use. So walk down the driveway of the Marriott next door, and cross the road to the 7-11 to stock up on beer, soda and water. You’ll get a 6 pack of Dos Equis for the same price as one in the hotel.
