The Pyramid Cancun: GOURMET PREMIUM ALL INCLUSIVE
Booked: We booked this resort via CheapCaribbean. They offered transfer from/to the airport but we decided to rent a car.
Hertz car rental: Free airport pick up to/from hertz. About a 10 min drive from airport.
CHECK-IN: We literally had to wait until about 4p for our room to be ready. Mimosas, little sandwiches and desserts are in the check in rooms. You get your resort band, to fully explore the resort, even if you need to wait for your room. Kind of a long wait to check in, there was only 2 persons doing this. We left our luggage with concierge. they also brought them across the resort to our room, which was great!!
WRIST BANDS: So, apparently, you get a different color wrist band depending on the type of room you get. We had a suite so we got a BLACK wristband. Unknown to us, that meant we had access to Everything on site. For those with blue band, they were limited to food options and/or had to pay a premium fee. Make sure you understand this before paying so you don't feel tricked when you book
PARKING: Free, onsite
ROOM: We stayed in the Pyramid Master Suite. "Made up of one comfortable bedroom and a spacious living room, this is the ideal option to enjoy with a wide array of amenities and huge picture windows to amire the Caribbean scenery. Jacuzzi (subject to availability, not guaranteed)". Bed was super comfortable. Two large TV's (bedroom and living space). 2 bathrooms with showers. Kitchenette in both spaces. Mini fridge was only stocked with coke / diet coke, beer and water. Coffee and espresso was in both rooms too. We had a jacuzzi outside of our room, with privacy. The Jacuzzi water was maybe 75 degrees, it was cold to me. There was also a 2 person table , 2 pool chairs, and a "cushioned" bed in this area. We were able to control our own room temperatures. The room was great! Room service at night or in the day were also offered here
Housekeeping: We did not get our room serviced for 2 days. It wasn't until the last day , we called housekeeping and stopped a house keeper to make sure they serviced our room. We ran out of towels, wash clothes etc. Thankfully we brought a set of our own. Would have loved the trash to have been removed...etc.
FOOD: Food is scattered throughout the resort. Buffets are at either side of the resort, so be prepared to Walk. Food was very mid. I often left food places still hungry
Tatish buffet: Good selection. They do NOT offer mimosas during breakfast
White Box: I left a review on their page. Tapas style entrees
Black Sens: Pay extra for this, dining in the dark. This was pretty cool and fun!
Le Buffet at Marketplace: Good selection of breakfast and dinner. Mimoas are available and other drinks.
Hippie Chic: Little area open mid day to early evening. The food was hella salty or bland (depending on what you got). Bar area here. Food options of cerviche, tacos, chicken, fries, burger, hot dogs
RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS
Most evening restaurants, you have to reserve thru the app
OTHERS:
Fontaineblue: This was only open in the evening. Nice bartendars. During the day, this space was used for people to purchase packages
Cigar lounge: You can purchase and smoke inside. You can also smoke outside of here
Gelato and me: Good ice cream and gelato
Kinky club: Open on weekends, they are just shows
Evening activities: There were nightly events planned, but we didn't make any of these
BARS
Most had long waits, especially around the pool areas. Drinks seemed watered down
POOLS
This resort is about 90 percent pools, so if that's your thing - this place is for you! Plenty of open pool chairs/lounges that you didn't have to fight for one
There is 1 adults only pool. Long bar wait. This area was fun tho.
SPA
We had a spa experience. Easy to register. Massage was an hour. Included in our package was a facial masque. Then we spent time in the sauna, steam room, dipped in freezing water, and spent time in the indoor pool. Afterwards, we laid out on the beach cabana, where there was also a bar
ACCESSIBILITY:
This resort is not handicapped accessible. No elevators, anywhere that I saw (and even looked for). You can walk across the resort pools using a long/high "bridges" that connected everything together. Many ramps were too short for a wheelchair to use. There were many "drop" off sidewalks, where you just fell down without warning to the sidewalk below
CHECK OUT
Come to find out, there was a concierge in our building. We were not told about it. Every time we needed help, we trucked to the main lobby which was a nice little walk. We were able to check out in our building. They cut your wristband off and you're good to go
OVERALL
This is probably a great relaxing resort if you're interested in hanging out by the pool, reading a book, getting some food just to not be hungry. It was largely quiet, which wasn't bad. This is not a turnt up spot, if that's what youre looking for. You have to walk far for food/events.
