OK for the price.

The greatest strength of the Beach Paradise was its staff; all were very friendly & helpful. The food and drinks were OK, but not great. The location is at the far south end of the Hotel Zone; nothing of interest is close.
The biggest weakness was the room. It was very sparsely furnished with cheap, old furniture. It was in dire need of an update. This is the only hotel that I can recall staying at that has hollow-core doors; we could hear every sound from the hallway and from the nearby rooms.
Although Beach Paradise is economically priced, I think that several other hotels in Cancun are better overall values. My wife and I do not plan to stay here again.
2 star at best - No way a 3.5 star

The rooms are terrible, the food mediocre, and the staff is only somewhat helpful. My sliding door to the balcony whistles in the wind all night because there is no weather stripping. If you open the slider to stop the whistling, the door rattles (apparently there are no rooms they can move me to). The pipe fittings to the toilet leak so I have to put a towel down behind the toilet to absorb the water. The air conditioner kind of works, but never really removes the humidity nor cools the room to something comfortable. The cleaning service doesn't clean. Used plastic glasses are not removed and spoons that were dropped on the floor (and left so the staff knows they are dirty) are placed back on the counter after maid service. If you awake at 6am there is no coffee available ANYWHERE. No coffee maker in your room and the restaurant doesn't open until 7am. BUT, you can get snacks from Midnight to 3:30am at the bar. Only one computer with internet service in the entire hotel and they charge you to use it. This is an all inclusive hotel, so the drinks are watered down and the food is buffet style. If you don't show up for food right when the restaurants open, the food sits in steamers and just wastes away until you arrive. The beach is almost un-swimable and the man in charge of entertainment for the day doesn't seem to realize how microphones work because he yells every word into it. And don't even get me started on the all day construction in neighboring rooms. BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID. RUN! RUN!! RUN!!!
Great Place

My wife and i had a great time. For a three star resort the food was better than average. The staff was very friendly and helpful we didn't have to wait very long for anything. The room we had was very nice mostly new and very clean. Great place.
never going back

This place is so misrepresented. Told it was a 4-star resort. Its a 2.5 at best. Small pool area and limited seating. Filthy bathrooms and front desk staff not willing to help you and they will actually tell you that.. Go somewhere else in Cancun -- trust us!
Disappointed

The room was not complete when we arrived!!! There was no T.V. or alarm clock in the room; never fixed the problem, gave us a broken T.V. The bathroom leaked, we had to spend way too much time in the room waiting for things to be fixed. The only thing that was good was the service from (the pool bartender and waiter at the Medditeraneo)! The entertainment directors were good too. The only person who tried to be helpful was X at the front desk. The night crew was useless!!! Wouldn't go back and would definitely not recommend it!
