This property is highly affordable for couples and family with small children. All inclusive so drinks were endless and the food was okay. The food and meals were nothing too fancy but every night there was a theme to the meal. Lots of activities to do around the resort and the beach is walking distance with private seating just for dos playas people. Please tip these people! They do their best to serve the customers including the drunk hungry ones who wonder in last minute. The hotel room on the other hand was not the best. Me and my fiancés hotel room toilet constantly leaked and we woke up with a puddle in the bathroom every morning of our stay. The room also smelt of mildew but nothing too gross. The shower water is also Luke warm takes a moment to warm up in general but doesn’t get hot. We didn’t mind that since we were sun burnt and wanted nothing to do with hot water. Can’t say that’s everyone’s preference so make sure if you’re looking for somewhere that will give you the basic Cancún experience nothing over the top fancy you stay at dos playas Farandas. There is also wild peacocks and iguanas that wonder around the property they are domesticated peacocks please don’t feed them as the employees take care of them. Also bring an extension cord the hotel rooms have 1-2 outlets in the room itself max.

Bring snacks with you. You’ll need them. Good budget property if you don’t expect any frills. Very small pools. Beach full of seaweed. EXTREMELY pushy salespeople. The bartender Appolini was the highlight of the trip. He’s wonderful. Trust me if you’re not in a rush, wait, save $200 more and stay somewhere else.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My stay at Dos Playas by Faranda was the worst hotel experience of my life — and I’ve never felt so humiliated while traveling. From the moment we arrived, things were wrong: no one helped us with luggage after check-in. We climbed stairs in the dark because the hallway lights kept shutting off. Our room door barely closed, the bathroom reeked of sewage, and there was no fan or ventilation. My friend has allergies and struggled to breathe because of the strong sewer smell. There were no toiletries — not even shampoo. Just one towel per person, expected to be used for body, face, and hair. They didn’t even replace it daily. The pillow had a black stain. The closet was tiny, had only three hangers, no shelves, and worst of all — an open electrical breaker box inside it. The pool smelled horrible. The food was even worse: cold, bland, and the vegetables were often spoiled. Reception staff were shockingly rude. One night I lost my room key, and they refused to give me another, making me wait over 30 minutes outside while my friend slept inside. Worst of all — this was meant to be a birthday gift for my best friend. I planned it with love, and instead I felt ashamed and helpless. This hotel ruined everything. Do not stay here. It’s not just bad — it’s depressing, unsafe, and a total scam.

Good location, good food, friendly staff, our room was cleaned well every time we got cleaning service. Beautiful green landscape. Nice beach with plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. Smaller resort but we liked that about this place. Good for a laid back vacation. Just what we wanted. Keep in mind there is stairs throughout the resort and no elevator. Our room had a good working AC which was a plus for us. The entertainment was great!

We had a nice stay, this is a smaller hotel on the hotel zone, but it has everything you need and is a great choice for the cost. Pros: - The staff were really friendly and helpful - the rooms were always clean with plenty of bottled water given each day and AC - the private beach was nice with activities nearby - the pools and grounds were well kept. - they had great food options that changed every meal - The bartenders were great, lots of alcoholic and non alcoholic options and snacks around. - bus station in front of the hotel for easy transport Cons: - The walls are a bit thin so you will hear music outside and people in the hallway. Not an issue if you don't want to spend vacation in your room anyways!

The beach a absolutely beautiful Soft sand, waves but no riptide. They work very hard to clean up the seaweed. The food is local Yucatan. If you're looking for gringo food rhis place isn't for you. But they do have hot dogs and pizza snack bars. It's very clean. Upgrade to the ocean view, well worth the money. The activities are fun. Remember that its not a 5 star and you will be please.

This place has a beautiful beach located right outside your door, however the rooms were not super clean. The beds had stains all over them and were rock hard. The staff were ok, many of them ignored us and prioritized those who spoke Spanish over us. Overall it’s not a super boujee place but it’s ok if you are looking for somewhere neutral to stay.
