This is a spectacular property, representing true luxury and privacy for a 5 star hotel. The staff are the nicest people I have ever met in the industry and the accommodations are excellent. The beach, restaurants and condition of the hotel will want you coming back again and again.
Staff is perfect, service is great! Properly amazing. Amenities - more restaurants would be better. Otherwise, is perfect for couples and quiet relaxing stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We return year after year to Kempinski Cancún because the property is exceptional and all of the staff are amazing, working so hard to make your stay amazing!!!!! We love it here!!
Ocean views from all rooms.
Beautiful building in old style.
2 very upscale restaurants (quite expensive)
Large comfortable rooms.
Excellent service at pool and beach.
Great breakfast and lunch options.
Overall, my stay at the Kempinski was exceptional. The service, ambiance, and attention to detail truly stood out. The only minor drawback was the pillows, which could have been more comfortable. However, the hotel did offer alternative pillows upon request, so it wasn’t a major issue. I would still highly recommend this hotel for its outstanding quality and experience.
Excellent service, kindness, immaculate rooms/ property, attention to detail. Excellent quality food but be prepared for relatively high prices even by high ranking NYC restaurant prices as a comparison
Lovely room, amazing view. It is a 30 year Old hotel but in spotless condition. Amazing beach cleaned from weed a few times a day and a really good life saver
I've been returning to the Kempinski Cancún for years, and it continues to exceed expectations every single time. The staff are truly exceptional, warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the stay. The level of service across the board is what keeps me coming back.
The rooms are spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, reflecting the high standards you'd expect from the Kempinski brand. Breakfast was a highlight with great variety, excellent quality, and a wonderful way to start each day.
If you're looking for a property where the team goes above and beyond and every detail is taken care of, this is it. A consistently outstanding experience.
