This hotel needs a lot of upkeep which my husband and I were well aware of, however, our 3 kids (9, 8 and 4) thought it was wonderful. Our room was old, shower/tub and toilet were moldy and ugly. The pool and beach area should be spotless since that's where most of your time is spent. There was plenty of... More

I have never written a review before but I stayed at the great parnassus jan 22nd thru 26th and it was the worst experience ive ever had so I felt it was my duty to warn people.

This resort provides a great vacation experience for families. But those seeking an "Adults Only" experience (or who just want to get away from the kids for the afternoon) can find age appropriate company at the adults only pool & bar, and several other "adults only" venues within the resort. This is a fairly new resort (opened in 2007-2008) and... More

I recently returned from a trip to Cancun and stayed at the Great Parnassus. I read several of these reviews prior to leaving and had some last minute panic about some of the awful experiences people have had at this hotel. I'm glad to say I didn't experience many of them. So, when we got there our room wasn't ready,... More

My first room had absolutely no hot water. Hot tub didn't work the shower was broke and the hot water never came from the shower but the sink got hot water. Beds were uncomfortable to the point of a back and headache every morning. Second room was much better and the staff was very understanding and we will go back. More

This was our first trip to Mexico, and we found that the Great Parnassus more than met our needs. One area where the hotel needs improvement though is at the check-in phase. Check-in was very slow and poorly organized. We waited 2 hours for our room, and were asked to come back 4 times during this period (needing to get... More

We returned back to the Great again this year.We knew the rooms on the north side were quieter so we asked the girl at the front desk for that side. She said they were full and she couldn't tell which side we were on.So when our room was ready we hoped for the best but we got a room again... More

We just got back from staying there for 1 week. It is a great hotel for families. The staff was very nice and friendly. There are just some small problems the buffet resturant needs to change things up a bit they had the some food day after day they need a little more variety. I highly recommend Big Ben and... More
