Because it was our first trip to Mexico and Cancun, we read all the posts about the Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort. We were not disappointed. although we came on a four-night discount package, everyone treated us as a returning guest. It is a beautiful property and very well maintained. All of the grounds were perfect. Room amenities for the Villa were great, and the view from any of the rooms is the ocean and beach. From check-in with Juan, luggage with Angel, breakfast in Oceano with Henry as our waiter and Judith Estrada as our conceirge, the staff was exceptional. Although it was very windy off the ocean every day (red flags kept us out of the surf), the pools were outstanding. And warm. With the cool breezes, they were wonderful. And the beach was not only soft sand, but never hot like Florida. Miles of beach are perfect for walking. La Isla mall is across the street with many choices to eat (including reasonable choices for us picky Americans) and shop. Even Chilis was great food and service. Westin restaurants were good, but the Steak night on Wednesdays is not to miss. All you can eat of your favorite cuts and prepared as you desire. It is a pleasure to go to a resort that understands pampering people on vacation. We took the hotel shuttle at $85 round-trip total for up to four people and it was wonderful. We did the time-share presentation for the $100 resort credit and it was a great pitch, just not for us at this time. Fabiola was attentive and listened to our thoughts and was understanding when we passed on the offer. there were fun activities, but we were there to relax and we did. While it seemed not full, the pools are huge and could handle a full house. It is in the middle of the hotel zone and you feel very safe, although the images on the way to and from the airport remind Americans how fortunate we are to live without fear. We hope to go back again, as it is a fantastic property with amazing people who made us feel very special.
