"Best beach on the hotel strip" The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort Tip by laura4n8

The Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort, Cancún: 1,587 reviews and 6 photos

I stayed in the old section of the Sheraton Resort and Towers. It was clean and the staff was fabulous. Of course, we were there in the off season and I think they were so happy have people to talk to. The lifeguard staff was delightful, the butler and concierge desk was always helpful to suggest places to go to eat and dance. However, if you want an experience out of the tourist mainstream, ask them what THEY would do -- not want they think a tourist would want to do. It was when I asked them that question that we got the best suggestions.

The price was good because it was the off season and Sheraton was running a discount on its Web site.

Unique Qualities: The Sheraton was positioned at a spot on the hotel strip that provided the best beach. I walked up and down the beach and saw most other hotels had a very narrow stretch of beach or had lots of rocks. Sheraton featured amble space for lawn chairs and play with a great view of the lovely water.

Comparison: about average
Directions: Its in the middle of the hotel strip -- across from the mall/shoppinr center.
Price: US$40-80
Theme: Hotel
