Hotel Selina di Cancun

I've been to dozens of Cancun all-inclusive resorts but there is no place like Temptation. We are American Asians in our late 20's and had a total blast at this place. Vibe- high energy party vibe with sexy employees and a topless optional pool. A totally carefree and relaxed environment for couples to getaway. Food- I read mixed reviews on food, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and options of food available! I had plenty of amazing dishes to try everyday. I loved their steak burger, octopus, shrimp cocktail, sushi and more. Drinks- also pleasantly surprised that there were a TON of choices and quality options like Don Julio, black label and more. Service- excellent service as you can expect from all inclusive hotels. I would give a shout-out to POLO who works the quiet pool bar. Everyone else was friendly and helpful too. Entertainment- yes to the SHE restaurant. Have a 5 star quality meal while watching talented dancers work the stage and pole. What an experience! Everyday in the late afternoon there is a show at the pool, and they are funny AF but very naughty. The crowd loved it and were totally down. Tips and Notes -its a naughty place. Sensual and sexual themes, smells, vibes are pervasive. There are attractive couples of all ages, many who may be open to naughty experiences together. Of course everything is up to you and everyone is respectful. But anything goes here, as long as it's in your own room. -tip everyone. It will enhance the workers life and enhance your service as well! -in bash tower balcony rooms you may see couples putting on a ”show”. We wanted to see something crazy so we booked this room and sure as heck, we saw plenty of action! -bash tower rooms give you access to the rooftop pool and hot tubs. Great for lunch and to getaway from the rowdy sexy pool. -bash night club is always poppin. It's an outdoor Vegas style club with a huge bar, led stage and amazing nightly performances from talented dancers. Don't miss it! -2 to 5 nights is sufficient here, or you might get partied out -there is a timeshare type of pitch at the beginning, we didn't do it but that's up to you. You get some freebies and there's no commitment so just depends on your time. -while there's a fair amount of younger people, the average is definitely in the 40s. I do wish there were more Asians at the resort as it skews white/Hispanic. They should make the prices on trip.com better in order to boost the Asian demographic presence. That's my only suggestion!

I stayed at the Secrets the Vine to celebrate my birthday May 27, 2022- June 01, 2022. Overall, I'd give the hotel a solid 3.5 out of 5. It honestly didn't live up to either me or my boyfriends expectations for the big price tag. The facilities were nice and my room was nice with a nice view of the ocean. Pros: staff came and cleaned every day. Shower got really hot. Bed was comfy. Cons: Only 2 pillows on the bed. I like at least two each for proper neck support and comfort. I've stayed in nicer hotels for less. The food overall was just okay. The breakfast buffet lacked in variety and the food could definitely use more seasonings and flavor. The staff in the restaurants were mostly friendly. The one thing I didn't like the most was the lack of activities on the hotel site. It rained for like 3 days straight over my vacation and the hotel offered very little to keep us entertained. There were towels, buckets, and puddles all over the lobby area from the rain water seeping in. I'm sure that was a safety hazard in its self. Bottom line: Oftentimes I found myself quite bored and had to leave the premises in search of a good time. If you're just looking to relax and kick your feet up, then stay here. If you want entertainment and fun, please continue your search.

After the trip to Cancun, I felt exhausted. Marriott's magical operation was beyond my understanding. I booked a Club 91 King Room for the first night, and the second night renewal fee increased by 1,500, and I changed to a Seaview Deluxe King Room: 1) I booked a Seaview Deluxe King Room, but found it was a twin room when I checked in, and it was very humid. I didn't bother to ask the front desk to change it; 2) Club 91 offers a free SPA, but when I made an appointment, I was told that it was just a hand, which lasted for about a few minutes, without the body. I enjoyed it for nothing, but the hand was not needed; 3) When checking out, I checked out the Seaview Room first. The list showed 6 lines including room fee and various taxes, all on the bill. Fortunately, I could speak some English, so I asked the front desk one more question. They said that I had already paid other fees except the resort fee on Ctrip, so why did I have to pay? Then I checked; 4) When I settled the Club 91 bill again, the amount I had paid was not on the bill, but there was an additional mini bar consumption. I was so busy that day that I only drank 2 bottles of free water in the room, and then I checked again; 5) I asked the hotel how many pesos it would cost if I could help call a taxi to the airport? The reply was 700. I happened to see a taxi driver waiting for passengers. I asked him and he said 500, so I got in the car without hesitation. 6) I forgot a beloved dress in the room when I checked out. After I left, I found out that I forgot to call the hotel again. They said they didn’t see it. They swore that the dress was only worn in the hotel and never left the hotel lobby. I asked for a day, but they still said no. I still feel sad. Looking back, I don’t know if these are pitfalls or coincidences? The hotel front desk and Club 91 staff are very friendly, and the facilities, environment, outdoor swimming pool, and exclusive beach are all good.

Hotel is located at the north east point of Cancun strip, which allows to have an access to the beach at the northern side as well as at the eastern side. Both of the beaches are hidden from big waves by the piers. Turquoize suites are spacious and well maintained with an amazing view of the sea. Hotel territory is big enough for walks around it. Sea view from different spots is really beautiful. Hotel has several pools so that the clients can choose one suitable for them. There are several restaurants and bars in the hotel as well, which brings some diversity of options. Hotel staff is very friendly and polite. Service is really good. Overall nice impression of the hotel. Turquoize suite also has a separate building, which is more quiet and a separate swimming pool with a good view of the sea. Definitely recommend this hotel to all sorts of visitors. The only thing that can be better is the food. I would give 4 points out of 5 for the food, it can be more delicious and special as well as the cocktails in the bars, but maybe it’s because of the “all inclusive” type of the service.

Hotel environment is good! Meals are still ok! There are 4 restaurants in the evening! 3 to book! There are 6.7 at noon, no reservation! Breakfast two restaurants! Room service actually needs to charge 5 US dollars per service fee... There is no welcome drink when you stay! Did not introduce it! Feeling less enthusiastic...

The room is quite big, and the balcony has a nice view of the sea. However, the whole hotel is not as big as expected, and the service is average. There are 4 restaurants, and the reservation time for the Italian and Oriental restaurants is limited, so you can only eat in the buffet restaurant every day. But the price is there, the cost performance is OK

Although overall it was a good stay, most of the employees are rude and grumpy. On the other hand, reservations at the best restaurants are complicated. They do not stock the mini bar even though we request it several times.

During two of our four-day stay, only 1/4 of the elevators worked properly. During the remaining two days, 2/4 of the time, we were able to go down to the lobby from the floors where our rooms were, but we couldn't go up to the guest rooms from the lobby, which was very inconvenient. Also, the food wasn't very tasty, the restaurants we could use were limited, and even though it was all-inclusive, room service and many drinks were also charged. It was quite a hassle to have to check what was available on the app, but I wonder if that's the case everywhere...? The room was clean and comfortable, but the walls were very thin and we could hear normal conversations from the next room, so we had to be careful. I don't think I'll stay here again.
