STAY AWAY!! We arrived at Krystal Grand Los Cabos on Saturday November 19th, 2022 an all inclusive resort around 4:30 pm their time for our honeymoon. They knew of our arrival, yet our room was not ready until 7:30 pm. So, we waited around with nothing to do while our room was being cleaned. Once our room was ready, we were taken to the 4th floor of the resort. This was the first issue. We had asked for an ocean front room. I told her when we booked I wanted to be able to walk out onto the beach. 4th floor is not ocean front. They refused to move us to a bottom floor room and just kept trying to upgrade us. I wasn't paying more for a room I was under the impression I had already paid for and had.
We also found out shortly after the issue with the room and luggage, that there was no place to have dinner. They closed the buffet at 3 and reservations must be made for dinner between 11 and 3 every day by standing in line in the foyer to sign up. Seeing as we did not arrive to the resort until 4:30 pm, this wasn't possible. They had a café open, so we decided to go get a snack there since we were told we couldn't have dinner because we didn't make a reservation.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the café, they were out of food and were only serving coffee! No juice, no pastries, no sandwiches, nothing. Nothing they had displayed on the board was available.
The next morning, we awoke early and went to find breakfast at around 7:30 am. They had the buffet open which had very limited food and service was horrendous. I asked 4 different people for coffee and grapefruit juice, and no one brought us anything. So, we went up to the café again instead to get coffee and juice and pastries. Our walk to the café included stepping over drunk people on the floor of the resort in the FOYER and stepping over vomit. 8 am the cafe had nothing again. Just coffee and two types of yogurts. They had nothing that was displayed on their board.
The resort was trashed from the day before. Cups and food in the pools. Trash all over the resort. I couldn't get towels for our room. They never came to clean. I had to beg for toilet paper and towels, and I only got them the one day I asked. Wanting clean towels, and a clean room isn't much to ask. It's standard service even when it's not an all-inclusive resort. By noon every day the music was obnoxiously loud, blasting obscene music that I was begging to leave the resort for some peace and quiet. All the bars don't open until 11. And they were out of everything as well. Only serving margaritas. The hot tubs were broken. All of them! When we finally made it to dinner the evening of our second night there, they had more than half the menu crossed out because it wasn't available. And the menu was small to begin with. The food was atrocious, and service was horrible.
Upon going to sleep that evening our neighbors next to us had some drunk lady banging on their door at 3 am. It woke us up. We could hear our neighbor yelling at her to leave and go away but she wouldn't leave. Security was called but nothing was done. Finally, after her partner raised his voice, she left. Now, we were disturbed and awake. I was now feeling unsafe as this resort's rooms were accessible from the outside. There was no security, there is no gate at the front to stop civilians from coming in, everything was wide open for the public to be able to just walk into the resort and bother the guests. Which is exactly what happened. Locals daily showed up and just took over the resort. They were loud, rude and made a mess of the place.
The next morning, we woke up to no hot water and again, a trashed resort with vomit on the ground. We went up to the café to get a coffee and see if they had food this time. Again, no food, just coffee. There was never anywhere to sit near the pools because of the lack of chairs and locals who took over. This place was anything but an all-inclusive resort. No one wanted to help or to fix any issues. The staff even tried telling my travel agent that they sent us fruit, strawberries and wine for our troubles. We saw none of that. Then on the third day, the day we demanded a refund and to leave, they tried to play games with us and told us they hadn't heard from our travel agent about our complaints or that we hadn't complained. We got tired of being in a filthy, unsafe "resort" with no food or hot water that we demanded a refund for the third time and needed to go somewhere else.
They finally reluctantly agreed to a refund. We went and stayed at Garza Blanca. Stay anywhere but at Krystal Grand!
