My review on Great Parnassus Resort @ Cancun

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best and 1 being worst...

Resort room cleanliness - 9 on 10

Resort room size, setup - 9 on 10

Restaurants - 9 on 10 (this is overall rating as there are more than 10 restaurants in total)

Bars: 10 on 10( there is practically a bar in every corner of this resort which is great)

Bartenders: 10 on 10
This place is 200% customer focussed. Anytime, any drink is made possible by these guys... Just awesome!!!

Chef / waiters:
9 on 10 at Magnus restaurant (this is the best restaurant that is open all thru' the day)
4 on 10 at manhattan restaurant
8 on 10 at other restaurants

Pool / activities: 9 on 10
Great pools facing the beach, great ambience overall

Beach side music:
8.5 on 10

Cons:
1. Sometimes u hear kids screaming wen u r inside ur room.
I wud say for room noise, rating of 6 on 10.

2. Timeshare guys:
These guys r a pain to deal with. They r there in ALL resorts in Cancun and this place is NO exception. Be aware and stay away from them!
There is one guy called Franco who is a complete Fraud!!!

Tips based on my experience:

1. I was inclined to book an Adults only resort, but u shud think it thru before u do so. ( i eventually booked a family resort)

The reason i say this is, any resort is as good as the amount of energy/buzz/ activities happenin at the resort... In these terms, great parnassus resort was very very good, because there was lot of stuff happenin all the time and der was good crowd even with kids!

On the contrary, Golden parnassus resort which is Adults only, was way too dull and boring and looked like a senior citizen's retirement home which is not where i wud prefer to b on vacation!!!
