Dec 03, 2024Amazing Birthday trip, great people beautiful beach!
We stayed at the Magestic Elegance Costa Mujeres from Nov 25 through Dec 2. We had a fantastic time! The employees here really make the experience! We had never been to the Cost Mujeres area previously, though we have spent a lot of time in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. We selected this location for the beautiful beach and were not disappointed. Good selection of various restaurants Pros: The beach is expansive, the sand is soft, and the water is gorgeous. The water is fairly calm so swimming is enjoyable. The rooms, rooms are gorgeous and well kept. Housekeeping was great, always ensured the room was clean, replaced the towels and drinks and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a rooftop plunge pool on the club side and we really enjoyed the swim in the evening! Food was good, no complaints here with one exception (I will touch on that later) There are lots of day beds to lay on and enjoy the day Really enjoyed the Christmas decorations. Cons: Ok this one is a very strange observation, but for some reason the toilets are really high off the ground. I'm 5'5 and my husband is 5'8. My feet couldn't touch the ground on most of the toilets around the resort and my husbands barely did. Not the end of the world but a bit strange. Chair game. The chair game is strong here. There are plenty of chairs and day beds but if you are prone to burning like I am the shady spots are hard to come by and are mostly gone by 8am. Some extra umbrellas or shade screens for the day beds would be helpful. The plunge pool on the roof is amazing and gorgeous, but I would recommend placing a railing to go down the steps from the pool. There is a railing to go in and out of the pool, but the steps coming down from the pool to the main deck do not have a railing. The tiles get wet from swimming and I slipped and fell. Again not the end of the world, just some bruises but a railing would help ensure people don't fall going down to the patio area. Special Shout Outs: Manuel, Moises, Giovanni, Abraham they really made our trip special. They always remembered us and what we liked to drink and brought them over without even asking. On my birthday Manuel and Abraham gave me a big surprise while we were off getting massages, by decorating a day bed for me and then brining over champagne to celebrate. It was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! It meant a lot to us. Our Butler was Chris and he was really helpful and sweet throughout our vacation. He also arranged a big birthday surprise for us in our room that evening. Other Details: Most of the resort is about 70% Adults only, only one building is family. The family side is the most lively pool, the adults side is more relaxed but they do have some fun activities over there also. Only 2 restaurants require reservations, the French and Asian restaurants. We didn't really have any trouble getting into the other restaurants, no long waits...but could be the time of year we went. You can arrange a day pass if you have friends from elsewhere to come and visit you. The cost is $140.00 USD, however it is not very easy to get the approval. Would definitely come back. Overall it was a great trip!

Dec 03, 2024Urge you to focus on the bad reviews and don’t be fooled by their fake ones which is scamming tactic
I cannot stress enough how much you shouldn’t be fooled by the “amazing reviews” across all reviewing platforms, pay close attention to the bad reviews and then cross reference the good ones. After personally being there, I don’t believe their reviews at all. Even if we didn’t have the room issues, the food, facilities and treatment from the staff overall was the worst I’ve ever experienced. 27th of November * Arrived to an uncleaned room with stains and hair on the bed, brown stain on the toilet and hair in the bathtub and the room does not look like the photos, it’s run down and we’d been given a disabled room * That evening we called for the butler and nobody answered, eventually got through to somebody and we told them that we don’t have a plug for the hot tub outside, maintenance came 30 mins later, looked at the tub and said he will bring a plug tomorrow (28th of November at 8am), we waited until 8:30 the next day and nobody showed up 28th of November * Went to reception to speak to a manager and told Mariana how disappointed we have been so far and she said there’s nothing she can do about it apart from send someone to clean the room which was basically room cleaning that day which should have happened anyway, I also expressed we still had not received a plug for the hot tub but nobody came still with the plug * Spent the day at the resort and when I went for lunch a male waiter leaned inappropriately close to me while standing behind which made me feel super uncomfortable, that along with the food being the worst quality we’ve had the whole trip drove me to go back to Mariana and express our concerns again and I asked if it’s possible to get a refund for the following two nights if we leave and she said she’s unable to grant any refund, I mentioned the hot tub again but nobody still had no plug that day 29th of November * A cleaning lady knocked on our door first thing in the morning to randomly gave us a table and I expressed we still don’t have a plug for the hot tub and she said she will send someone (no plug was ever given) * We went to breakfast at Il Botaccio and both found a hair on both our plate, I had a small black hair and my partner had a longer black hair stuck to his fork, I get this can sometimes happen but the hairs we found in the resort was consistent which is so odd * We never planned to leave the resort but as we felt so uncomfortable we went to Isla Mujeres and before we left we noticed there was a damp dirty cleaning towel left on our table * The least we expected was to come back to your room being cleaned and stocked up which every standard hotel does on a daily basis, given we raised issues with the cleaning you’d expect for our room to not be missed but we came back to no room cleaning being done or even at least the fridge being stocked Overall the quality of the place is nowhere near a 5* resort, I was made to feel uncomfortable the whole stay when you are meant to feel the opposite on holiday after playing for 10 hours to a country, we stayed in Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Balcar and Valladolid and all of the accommodations were stunning and clean so we knew this wasn’t the standard, I complained on the second day and was offered nothing then on the very last day as we checked out they said they could offer a massage or something within the resort which was useless as we were leaving, we deserve to be compensated, please don’t waste your money like we did, you can get much nicer places in other parts of Mexico and way better food & hospitality.

Dec 02, 2024Wonderful experience with the staff and facility.
We visited in March of 2021 and loved it. We came back in late Dec 2024 and it was even better. The restaurants have fun decor and really make a great experience. Oliver, Eduard, and Diana - Animation/entertainment team and kids club!! The 3 of them each bring something special to the guest fun. Oliver's dancing and balloon art were so fun! My daughter loved kids club with Diana and Estrella. Esther kept the drinks flowing by the pool. Santos makes the best Margaritas - over in the Tequleria at the Mariachi Loco. Guadelupe was our favorite server. He was attentive and quick to make sure we were greeted as soon as we entered his section (or anyone else's). We stayed in swim ups both times in the family section. We found building 6 to get the best sun to keep the plunge pool warm for the suites. In November.. building 5 swim up jr suite was shaded all day and cold. Safety Passports are checked at the gate. Don't be surprised.. be thankful for the security!! Food & drinks We did not try the Bistro. We didn't like the food at Il Bottaccio [italian] The restuarants - Kabuki, El Mariachi, and Don Juame would be our top picks - in order.

Relaxing and wonderful resort. Great for couples and families.
The Majestic Elegance was a fantastic resort for the family. Our trip was for a destination wedding and the entire facility and staff was wonderful. The restaurants and entertainment were great addition, keeping the entire family engaged and happy. Victor, at the Tiki Bar was a treasure with his charm, wit and personal service. The remaining staff was extremely attentive, polite and responsive.

Family vacation
What an amazing trip, the restaurants were great, the food was super, the service was OK, but the best part of all was the kids club. Man, I have three kids 8, 5, and three, and they did not want to leave the kids club. Diana and Alondra are just superb. They made art and crafts. They hung out, they went to the pool, they just had a super time. Thank you Diana and Alondra.
