I recommended to my family and friends to stay at the Great Parnassus because I heard that it was a new hotel and had a great service. I read some of the reviews and after booking our trip, I had a mixed feeling about staying at this hotel. I have stayed at other hotels in Cancun, like the Riu Palace... more

We just got back from our 2nd visit to The Great Parnassus and I still don't get what all the negative reviews are about! We went June '07 with my husband, & 3 kids ages 19, 15 & 5 and stayed in the family room and had a blast. The service we received was great. A little tipping goes a... more

So I read all the reviews before going and actually thought about changing my hotel because of all the bad ones...but we're pretty easy going people, so I figured at the price we could just make the best of it. My boyfriend, daughter (8yrs) and myself were staying for a shorter vacation of 4 nights. The first couple days we... more

This was our fifth trip to Cancun and as usual we were not disappointed. Our previous visits were spent at the Crown Paradise, which up until 2005, we had really loved. Unfortunately, the hotel is under new management/ownership now and was not quite the same. On our previous visit in 2005, we had seen the Great Parnassus under construction and... more

I have to say the hotel itself is very pretty. The pool was great but my overall stay was terrible. Every time we went to a restaurant in the hotel we watched how theY reused the same place mats and table cloths OVER AND OVER. Each time I sat down to eat I almost had to leave because my stomach... more

Great Parnassus June 29 – July 6 ‘08 My wife, myself, and 4 children (ages 17, 15, 13, and 11) stayed at the Great Parnassus from June 29 – July 6 ’08. It is a very nice moderately priced all-inclusive family resort. It is not the Ritz, but you are not paying anywhere near what some of the other resorts... more

Well let me start off by saying, take most of these reviews in with an open mind. We have been to Cancun now 5 times now and this was the best hotel yet. Some people just like to complain about everything. Yes there are some imperfections to some of the tile and grout work. If you are traveling to inspect... more

I stayed at Great Parnassus July 9-July 14th 2008. Me and 6 other females. The resort is very very nice, the whole architecture of it is beautiful. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The rooms were spectacular we had a balcony with a view of the ocean..simply breathtaking. We had one incident where they cleaned the room and forget... more

I've just returned from this hotel yesterday and I want to share many of its shortcomings so other Tripadvisor readers would not suffer the same fate as we. It does not have any redeeming value to make it a viable destination. The location is towards the lower end of hotel zone between the Hilton and the Royal resorts. Therefore it... more
