The Vibe
The resort’s overall feel/vibe is sophisticated luxury. It caters more to adults than families and children, from our experience. When staying on the adults-only side, the Elegance Club is the way to go for nice added extra touches, amenities and perks. The swim up suites were a huge hit and make for a very convenient and relaxing stay as they are centrally located and so easy to access. The pool space on the family friendly side is limited when occupancy levels are high so having a swim up was a nice reprieve from overpopulated areas around and in the water.
How I Felt
Upon entering the lobby, I felt welcomed and quickly refreshed as staff offered us cold towels and a chilled beverage. It was clear by the incredibly spotless appearance of the modern and well-sanitized open space that we would undoubtedly enjoy our stay at this sparkling gem. Every staff member was friendly, eager to please and helpful.
The Digs
We stayed in a two-bedroom oceanfront suite that included a fairly private jacuzzi on a very lengthy balcony and a jaw dropping spectacular view of the ocean and beach. The suite was perfect for larger families as the living room housed a murphy bed and a pullout sofa sleeper couch. One of the bedrooms had a king bed and the other two had doubles — both bedrooms had sliding wooden doors for privacy. There were also two bathrooms, which was very handy.
The Agenda
The family friendly side of the resort is home to a phenomenal spa! The treatments & services were top notch and the massage I received was truly one of the best I’ve ever had.
There are no water slides, jungle gyms or kid’s splash pad areas, but the kid’s club staff was very attentive and offered fun, engaging activities throughout the day. The entertainment staff always put smiles on faces daily at the pool with silly, fun games, dances and music. The only drawback we encountered was there weren’t enough pool chairs and certainly not enough shade/umbrellas to contend with the strong sun. After relaying this feedback, the staff initiated plans to plant more palm trees and to have more umbrellas by this summer.
The beach did have sargassum while we were there in the beginning of April. However, it was cleared often. The sand is gorgeous and the beach is long and wide making it perfect for nice long walks. There was beach beverage service, with umbrellas and chairs which we would have used more if it wasn’t so windy.
The Eats
Food at all the restaurants was truly very good, no complaints at all. Portion sizes were good, variety was a non-issue, service and timeliness were also on point. The main buffet for breakfast and lunch by the beach was always quite busy, but never ran out of a nice variety of offerings.
Why I Would Go Back
I was impressed with Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres! It gets two thumbs up, most especially spectacular for a destination wedding as the view from the pool terrace is an absolutely stunning location to host the most glorious, celebration with all your family and friends. Value for money is truly second to none. Majestic certainly knows how to deliver elegance in Costa Mujeres!
