Guest Rooms and Accomodations - Club Med Cancun
The biggest improvement to the guest rooms made during renovation are new mattresses and linens, not to mention pillows. Very nice, very comfortable. I no longer feel the need to bring my own pillow.
Room descriptions and photos are typical - I have stayed in several buildings plus peered into lot's of rooms while they were being cleaned. I usually try to stay in the Topacio building - all buildings have been re-named something Spanish for a rock or gem - Jade, Obsidian, etc. For a map with building names, go to the Aerial & Map page.
However, here are pictures taken from the awesome room I had in December 2007 - Topacio top floor ocean front.
The Jade building (previously known as Opera) is where the luxury suites are. In Jade, the oceanside rooms have been converted into double-wide suites, inside rooms are the same as before only renovated. The Jade building has it's own Concierge desk, plus it has a dedicated room service kitchen.
As you can see by the photos, there have been numerous cosmetic changes to the rooms as noted:
- All new nice furniture
- New color scheme
- Flat screen TV's (mine had the same poor cable reception of the old tv system, not that I turned it on more than once) - downside is that TV's no longer function well as t-shirt dryers
- Mayan style cube-art blocks are gone and currently can be found throughout the village public areas
- Very nice mattresses, linens and pillows
- Nifty little adjustable bedside reading lights
- Rooms are made larger-appearing by removal of headboard wall projection, and replacement of the foot-wide half-wall on the balcony side with a wrought iron railing
- Glassed in shower instead of solid wall - some couples thought this was sexy, others had a problem with it
- New bathroom sink and smaller counter space
- Vanity and hair dryer moved to desk under the TV with a hard-to-use slanted mirror (hair dryer is in one of the desk drawers)
- Silly wall mounted light switches - you can't tell by touch whether they are on or off
- Renovated buildings have new (different) outdoor balcony guardrails, as well as new outdoor lighting fixtures
- Nice Teak balcony furniture
- New floor tile color throughout the rooms - pretty
- Hallway mirrors are gone but there are two in-bathroom mirrors
- Refrigerator is hidden in a little cabinet next to the balcony door
- Fresh liter-bottle of water in the room every day!
- Nice puffy, absorbent bath towels
- Dual shower heads - conventional, and overhead
