What guests think

Across recent reviews, Presidente InterContinental Cancun Resort stands out for its calm, beautiful beach, generally friendly staff, and relaxed vibe that many families and couples appreciate overall for low-key vacations.

Many praise the beach setup with plentiful loungers and two pools, though some mention the pools are unheated, the gym feels limited, and occasional maintenance or ant issues around outdoor areas. Rooms often feature comfortable beds and great views, but several reviews call them dated or small, with street-facing noise, inconsistent air-conditioning or water temperature, and occasional hiccups with room assignment. Breakfast earns frequent compliments and on-site dining is convenient, yet prices are high and restaurant service or dinner quality can be uneven. Expect a beach-focused stay with standout sands and generally warm service, but not cutting-edge rooms or bargain dining.

Beach setup with plenty of loungers and two pools is a recurring highlight; the spa is appreciated. Trade-offs include unheated/cold pools for some stays, a small or aging gym, limited kids’ activities, and occasional ant issues.

2023 and 2024: Excellent - 5 Stars 2025: Disappointing - 2 Stars Unfortunately, the pools are no longer heated, making them quite cold and less enjoyable. This is a significant letdown compared to our previous visits in 2023 and 2024 when we could comfortably use the pool until 10 PM. The pool area is deserted almost all day, with rarely more than four people in either pool due to the cold water, creating a rather dull atmosphere. The beautiful bar and Le Cap restaurant are also empty, likely because the pools are so uninviting. I've included a photo showing just one person in the pool, despite the 90-degree air temperature. This is a missed opportunity for the hotel and quite disappointing. Additionally, the property is currently dealing with a severe ant infestation, both around the pool areas and in the beach sand. It's advisable to keep your feet off the ground near the pool and avoid the sand at the beach.

Lovely small hotel on a great beachside location. The hotel has amazing friendly staff who all had a smile. Our rooms 604 and 608 were on the top floor of the low rise part of the hotel with access to the club lounge which included complementary cooked breakfast and evening cocktails and snacks - our teen age son made the most of this! The hotel was full but felt uncrowded with beach beds being available all of the time. The spa service is excellent as was the 24hr gym although it was quite small. There are 2 restaurants which had ok food but great views onto the beach. The beach is lovely and the sea had a small amount of seagrass. Small amount of fish - I do wish the hotel would place a few large rocks out on the sea bed to attract fish and marine life. Our rooms were large with a nice ensuite. The balcony overlooked the sea. Only negatives are at check in there was poor communication or language problems and we had to have temporary rooms for 2 of the 7 nights at the hotel. They did however put us up in thr presidential suite which is huge and very nice. We did feel they did their best to accommodate us under the circumstances and genuinely felt like they were keen to keep guests happy. It’s an old hotel and feels like you are somewhere which has aged well and was an oasis of peace and relaxation while other hotels around it would be super busy. Finally best thing about the hotel is that they keep the pool open till 10pm often longer so it was a popular spot.

We recently stayed here for 8 days and just arrived back home. The hotel has the best beach in the hotel zone. Two great pools with 3 jacuzzi's and an onsite restaurant. Staff is very attentive, especially Antonio Bandera in the restaruant for breakfast. We chose to add the breakfast package with our stay and we miss it already! Such good food. Dinner was meh and we opted to eat elsewhere. The hotel is older, built in 1975. However, it is clean and well maintained. One thing we really appreciated, was the falcon that the hotel hired to be in standby, to keep the birds from stealing your food or bothering guests. We had such a great time. If you're looking for an awesome beach experience with great pools, clean room and hotel, along with a chill vibe, this is your place!

The beach at this property was stunning...beautiful white sand, calm crystal clear blue water and plenty of loungers available. I also liked it being quiet, there was no loud music blairing at any time. The property itself was very nice too. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and well maintained. The hotel was super clean including the rooms. Service was top notch too. The restaurants are very expensive, especially for people who make Canadian dollars but this reflects prices in Cancun in general. The kids club seemed like an after thought rather than a feauture of the property as it was empty when I visited and there was supposed to be planned activities for the kids.

The lobby when you first walk in (and every time you are in it) smells bad. The shower temperature regulator did not work or there is a problem with their water supply. Was truly hard to shower as the temp would randomly fluctuate on its’ own from cold to scalding hot without notice.

Great location and very friendly, responsive staff. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, but a bit too crowded for the available space especially around the pool, beach chairs, and breakfast area. Room views were beautiful, but street-facing rooms had a traffic noise. Also, some bathroom finishes felt lower quality than expected. The beachfront bar could use some improvement too. Overall, a good experience with excellent service, but a few things could be better.

Water from the shower was either scolding or too cold. Maintenance folks could not fix it. Surprise resort fees were added that were supposedly included in the Expedia total. When I cheched in, they asked for the usual credit card hold amount; however it was not a hold charge for a real charge for $700. When I checjed out, they charged me again for the incidentals instead of deducting thise from the original "hold charge". They said the "hold" charge would be refunded in about 10-12 days. In sumnary, this hotel is a total financual abuse.

I’ve never felt more let down by a hotel stay. The reviews promised a perfect end to our trip to Mexico, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Our bags never arrived in the room despite being told they would be delivered. After several calls and mixed messages, they finally appeared much later. We also asked to borrow an umbrella and were told none were available, even though the concierge had given two to another couple just minutes earlier. Breakfast service was equally poor — the server seemed uninterested and made us feel like an inconvenience. At check-in, we were advised to ask about a day-use room before our evening flight, only to be told at checkout that no such option existed. When I shared my feedback, it was met with a blank stare. Overall, the service was indifferent and unwelcoming — a real disappointment at the end of what had been a wonderful trip.

Adrian from the front desk, Paulina and Fidel from the concierge desk, Ruben on the beach and every staff altogether at the restaurants and housekeeping are exemplary and absolutely fantastic, thank you! Another huge thank you goes out to Kristel from the Ikal Spa which provided the best massages ever and cannot wait to go back! The atmosphere and environment is by far the most relaxing experience and will appeal to all your senses!

The check-in process was smooth. I had booked a room with complimentary breakfast and a $50 USD room credit. This credit was clearly stated on Expedia at the time of booking, and I was also informed about it during check-in. However, during check-out, I was assisted by a gentleman named Adrian. When I asked if the $50 credit had been applied to my bill, he responded that it could not be used for room service. I was surprised, as this had not been mentioned previously. I explained that the credit was explicitly listed on Expedia and confirmed at check-in. He eventually agreed to apply it, but remarked that it would not be allowed next time. This was disappointing to hear, as it suggested a lack of consistency or professionalism on his part—especially since he did end up applying the credit. Clear communication and consistent policy enforcement would improve the guest experience.
