I recently stayed at Pyramid Oasis in Cancun to celebrate my birthday from July 16th to 25th, and it was an absolute disaster. First, we were placed in a room that reeked of paint, making it uninhabitable. When we were finally moved to another room, it was still dirty and not fit for a stay. The air conditioning barely worked, and with the intense heat, it was unbearable.
We also had a terrible experience at the coffee shop, Coffee & Me. My friends and I tried to get coffee at 9:55 PM, and they refused service in Spanish. My nephew, who spoke in English, got served immediately, which was blatant discrimination against Spanish speakers and people of color.
To make matters worse, the hotel’s restaurant reservation system is terrible. They have many restaurants, but you have to book way in advance, and if you miss it, they charge you a $10 fee. The food at the buffet was subpar, and even though we had the VIP black band, the service was awful and unprofessional. Plus, there were cockroaches everywhere.
This hotel was a complete letdown and not worth the money. I would never go back.
