Love your sense of humor and how candid you are about the pros and cons. Great review!
Wow this video was very helpful I’m glad you included the good and bad 😁
Yes! I think it’s important to do so if it’s gonna help people 😄
Very helpful review as we are looking at this resort for our anniversary trip next year.
The restaurants (especially the Italian one) has a very romantic vibe to it! The live music is what rlly made a difference tbh. Thanks for your comment, safe travels, and enjoy!
This review is phenomenal. You should really do more of these!
I appreciate the kind words! I’m looking to being recording new material soon so keep an eye out. Thank you! 😄
@@loncherita.diaries that will be great! We need honest reviews
Going end of septembre and what count for us is food and luxury and seem really 👍and for the buttler, usually I prefer book and do the thing by myself, can't wait
This resort definitely screams luxury, so this sounds like a great fit for you! Safe travels and I hope you have a blast :)
Really really really!!!!nice hotel all around, food and service was amazing. Drinks could have been. A little better, but man it was a great stay.
I’m glad your enjoyed your stay! I think my favorite part of the resort has to be that spa. It was incredible 🧖🏽♂️
Thank you sooo much for this review!
Absolutely! My goal was to provide an honest and full review of the resort to help out as many people possible :)
Thanks for the comment!
Great Video! thank you for it
I appreciate it. Of course! 😎
Hi! My friends and I are considering TRS next summer but you had mentioned having been to a couple of other resorts with better service. Would you mind sharing those resorts?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your comment!
To be quite honest, my best experience has been with the Riu Palace, specifically the Costa mujeres all inclusive resort. Riu palace Las Americas also is great. My experience with Riu Palace has been far greater and pleasurable than this one @ TRS Coral resort.
One thing you should also keep in mind is that there is currently a large amount of seaweed close to the Cancun beaches and shores. From what has been monitored, the majority tends to be in the southern part of the coast (towards Tulum). You can view this FB page that monitors the seaweed situation in Cancun : facebook.com/RedSargazo/
I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions and feel free to follow on IG @loncherita.diaries. Safe travels! ✈️🇲🇽🏝
Very helpful review!!!! Thank you
Absolutely! Thank you for your comment 😁
We’ll be there next month. Can we blatantly opt out of the 3 hour timeshare presentation?
Absolutely! I regret not doing so myself. They’ll try to convince you by offering so vouchers or other items but I’d def skip out on it if I knew how uncomfortable the conversation would of been.
Hope you enjoy your stay and safe travels!
Would you recommend travelling during the first week of September? And when you went, what currency were you using to pay for the spa, paddle board, tipping, and other things? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
Hello! I believe that hurricane season is still going on during the month of September. I did a bit of research and the chances of your vacation being impacted by one are slim, though. So id say you'd be good going during the month of September. Personally, I've never went during that month but id say youd be fine in terms of the weather.
I paid using my credit card (a US bank credit card), but they accept USD and Mexican pesos at the spa. The paddle board activity was free but any place or activity at the resort that you have to pay for can be paid in USD. Id highly encourage you to tip in USD (which is what I did) so that you can easily keep track of how much you are tipping. Now if you plan on going outside of the resort, most likely they will not take USD and you will have to pay with the Mexican peso
No worries at all! All of those are great questions and I hope this has helped you out. Safe travels.
How long did you stay at TRS? I have my first ever visit to MX resort scheduled there for Oct. 24-28, 2022. I definitely want to avoid the timeshare spiel. What other resort (that is nice for that price) did you have better service?
Thank you for your comment! We stayed there for 7 nights! They will ask you if you would like to attend the timeshare conversation, but will try to sweeten the deal by offering spa coupons and other incentives for doing so.
We’ve stayed at RIU palace that was slightly cheaper and much better customer service, imo. Although, TRS does have a more luxury feel to it. Definitely worth looking at that option for any future trips.
You will have a blast regardless! Enjoy the stay and safe travels!!
Great review, so all a la carte you need reservations?? And you try chic cabaret, seem really nice
Hello! Yes, with the exception of some lunch a la carte restaurants (Helios and Capricho did not require reservations).
Unfortunately, we did not get an opportunity to experience the Chic Cabaret, which is one of their most popular spots to get a bite to eat and enjoy the night show. This was due to the the place being completely booked (per our butler) for the week that we were there for.
My suggestion is this: if you plan on going to the Chic Cabaret, contact TRS Coral Resort to see if they can make the reservation ASAP. That way you don't have the same problem we had with not being able to book a spot for the experience.
Thank you for your comment and please let me know if you have additional questions! :)
Que tal? como estas? Muy valioso video, mencionas los pros y cons. Mi pregunta es si en el check in, solicitan algun tipo de deposito o baucher. Agradezco tu respuesta en español. saludos!!
Saludos amigo! No, no me pidieron ningún Boucher, pero cuando andábamos haciendo el check in, si nos dieron la opción de elegir una habitación mejor, so pagamos la diferencia mas los recargos de tax/otros cargos.
Lo que si pidieron fue nuestros pasaportes/identificación. Pero afuera de eso, no, ningún Boucher.
Gracias por su comentario amigo y disfrute su vacación! 🤝🏽
@@loncherita.diaries saludos amigo
Great job.🤓💯
Thank you!! 😁
Would there be another resort you would recommend more highly for a romantic couples, adult only vacation?
Thank you for the very honest review and tour! I’ll be going there in 2 weeks. Did you guys get a taxi from the airport or did you book transportation ahead of time??
Hello! I always make it a point to book the transportation ahead of time for a couple reasons.
1. It can be overwhelming once you arrive at the Cancun airport due to the sheer amount of people offering services (taxi, activities, tours, etc.).
2. The locals can spot tourists a mile away and although I've personally have not experienced it, you could get different rates because of that.
My suggestion would be to book a transportation service through a trusted 3rd party ahead of time (I always use Expedia). The trusted 3rd party should provide instructions before booking or email you with instructions and meeting points. The rate of that can range from $20-60 USD (depending on the company) but totally worth it imo.
Thank you for your comment! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions :) Safe travels!
See you there
@@loncherita.diaries thank you so much!!!!
I’m going in two weeks as well and I booked transportation through the resort.
@@LuxBasicsBabeI'll be going in a month for my bday... How was the experience with the transportation thru the resort... I was torn between getting a rental , using a 3rd party or going directly thru TRS
Hey thanks for the video, are the spa facilities free? Like the spa pool and cold room? Or pay extra?
Hi! No it is not free. I believe it is $50 per person to use the spa facility (massage pools, sauna, etc).
If you book a massage session with them though (~180 per person for an hour), the spa services shown in this video are all included for the 180 price. Thanks for commenting! Please feel free to ask any further questions 😁
@@loncherita.diaries thank you! Sounds V expensive!
Hi 👋 gracias por el video ! Queremos ir a ese resort pero ahora estamos indecisos por tu vídeo :( queremos saber si vale la pena porque no esta muy caro comparado a otros en Cancún queremos un adult only ! Fuistes al Paladium despues ?? O solo te quedastes ahí? Maybe you have a recommendation for a better hotel let me know
Hola! Gracias por su commentario :)
Comparado a otros adult only resorts, tal vez no sea tan caro. Creo que el simple hecho de que sea un resort de adults only, lo hace un poco mas costoso que un resort para todos/familiar.
Si fui al lado de Palladium pero nada mas para ver los shows de noche, visitar los bars, y para ver los puestos que ponen en la noche donde venden artesanías. Pero la mayoría del tiempo nos quedamos en la parte de TRS (el lado adulto).
The best experience that I have had has been with Riu Palace Costa Mujeres. Their buffet was unmatched and the food was as authentic as it can get in resorts. Their customer service was immaculate. So id say that Riu Palace Costa Mujeres is definitely worth checking out!
This was our experience and we wanted to share both the good AND the bad! I don't think it would be fair to only include the good (or the bad) and give the audience a false perception of the experience :)
Let me know if you have any further questions! I am here to help
Amazing the Riu is for adults only?
@@bruno123wine It Is not. But they do a great job having separate pools, activities, etc for them!
Can you only make a reservation once you've checked in? I downloaded the app, but it's asking for a room number. Also, are all the restaurants included or only a few?
Thanks so much!
Hey! I believe that you have to check in to make reservations BUT I’d def reach out to them if you want to attend the Chic Carbaret experience (night show and dinner) as they fill up very fast (we were there for a week and could not get a spot, as they were already booked for 2 weeks ahead).
All the restaurants are included with the TRS Coral resort stay, along with the restaurants over in the Grand palladium side. They also have juice bars and other snack and food options in the grand palladium side that you have access to simply by staying in the TRS Coral Resort side.
Thank you for your comment! Hope this helps. Safe travels :)
@@loncherita.diaries thanks so much!!
🤩👍❤️
Thank you!
What app are you talking about to download for reservations?
Hello! And thank you for your comment. On the App Store, it is called "Palladium Hotel Group". From the app you can access a map of the resort, book premium experiences, do dinner reservations, and even spa reservations.
Apologies about the late reply! Thank you again for your comment :)
What made you choose the more expensive trs side and not another side of the resort?
By staying at the TRS side of the resort, you are given access to the Grand Palladium side also. The TRS side also is an adult only zone, which was a huge plus for us. You get access to all of the restaurants, activities, and amenities on that side also.
If you stay at the grand palladium side, you won’t have access to the things on the other side of the resort (TRS). I’d say it all depends on what type of experience you want and who you are going with. If you have a family, then the clearer choice would be Grand Palladium.
I hope that answers your question! Let me know if additional clarification is wanted. Thanks for you comment 😁🤝🏽
Me personally, I don't want to be around a bunch of annoying kids all day when I'm on vacation. I don't have kids so I'm biased. With the TRS side, it's adult only and you still get access to the Grand Palladium family side and choose to be around kids if and when you feel like it.
is the gaia beach bar all inclusive aswell?
Yes it is! Real good spot to go to if you want to get a drink from the beach too cause it’s very close to the area where you can lay down and relax
What did the night life look like at this resort? Any parties or is this more of a "laid back" vibe?
Hey! Thank you for your comment.
There were night shows at the theatre (located at the Grand Palladium side) every night I believe, and countless bars around. There are countless bars where you can socialize with others. Most of them play music that you can dance to.
I’d say that it’s more of a laid back vibe compared to other resorts that known for having parties and their night life.
@@loncherita.diaries what do you recommend for more nightlife
@Pink Pink, My suggestion is that If you want to experience the Cancun night life to the full extent take a visit to the "zona hotelera" which is also a tourist zone that has tons of clubs and bars. You'll definitely have your fill in partying if you visit that zone.
You can simply ask for a taxi from your resort to the hotel zone and they can coordinate that for you. I’d actually encourage you to book the taxi through your resort, they’re usually nicer and more hospitable. Some of them will even come back for you once you are ready to go back to the resort. But that’s all up to the tax driver himself. Hope this helps!
What month was this and what was the weather like?
Hello! I went on the month of May and it was very warm and sunny. I’d say it was consistently in the upper 80s and low 90’s and it did not rain any of the days I was there (I was there for about a week).
Hi there. For majority of the video I couldn’t see anything. It was black. It was right after the restaurant tour. This was very helpful, but wish I could have seen more. Thank you!
Im sorry to hear that you couldn’t enjoy the video. I tried it with several different devices/browsers and it worked on my end. Hope you were able to go back and get the full vid!
Do they play music by the pool?
Hello! Yes, they do. They also had a live DJ there on some days.
My bad 😥 I already booked it, what is the app to reserve the restaurants ?
Hello, the name of the app is “Palladium Hotel Group”. Hope you have a blast and safe travels!
@@loncherita.diaries thanks 🙏
Is the main pool heated?
Yes! Or at least it felt like it was cause the water felt great.
How is the party scene?
Hello! The party scene is okay. Tons of bars and they have night shows in the Grand Palladium side of the resort (some footage shown in the video).
My suggestion is if you are looking for a better party scene, take a trip to tje “zona hotelera” (translates to Hotel Zone) and they have a much better party scene there. We just requested a taxi from the butler/ front desk and they got us one to different parts of Cancun (like parque de las palapas in the Street food vlog). Hope this helps and safe travels!
what is the app called may i ask ?
Hello! And thank you for your comment. On the App Store, it is called "Palladium Hotel Group". From the app you can access a map of the resort, book premium experiences, do dinner reservations, and even spa reservations.
Apologies about the late reply! Thank you again for your comment :)
I agree with most of your critiques. Nice rooms, nice resort. Terrible beach. Butlers are absolutely worthless. We didn't see ours for 2 days. They were supposed to make the reservations and didn't make them most of the time. Very frustrating when you show up to a restaurant and they don't have your reservation. Had $40 stolen out of the locker in the spa. Would not return or recommend TRS Coral. Plenty of other resorts with better service around the playa Mujeres area for less $. Just MHO.
That’s unfortunate that you had cash stolen from you :(
Just out of curiosity, What about the beach did you not like?
Hopefully people see these reviews so that they are aware of the cons and not just blinded by the beauty of the resort. Thanks for the comment!
@@loncherita.diaries They only had a few umbrellas available. They didn't keep the seaweed cleaned up very well. Service on the beach was very poor compared to around the pool
Which other Playa Mujeres resorts would you suggest instead??
How was the nightlife?
Hello! And thanks for you comment.
The nightlife in the resort itself was decent. They had live music playing, DJs at each of the several bars that they have at the resort. If you stay at the TRS side, you have access to all of the bars in the resort, including the ones in the Grand Palladium side.
My suggestion is that If you want to experience the Cancun night life to the full extent take a visit to the “zona hotelera” which is also a tourist zone that has tons of clubs and bars. You’ll definitely have your fill in partying if you visit that zone. You can simply ask for a taxi from your resort to the hotel zone and they can coordinate that for you.
Hope this helps!
How is the beach? Good? bad?
The beach was beautiful and little to no seaweed! PLENTY of seating, beach chairs, and tables.
Keep an eye out for the seaweed out there because there’s huge amounts of currently along part of the costa Mujeres shore (mainly the southern part).
@@loncherita.diaries Thank you so much for answering. 😊
@@junkfood25 of course! Any further questions feel free to msg me on instagram @loncherita.diaries 😁

@@loncherita.diaries wow that wa such a quick response 😄 thank you so much, I’m currently watching your video. Need this review
Of course! Keep an eye out for more to come but for now, enjoy the vid and safe travels! :)
@@loncherita.diarieshighly appreciated.
@@loncherita.diaries any recommendations for other All Inclusives with better service but reasonable price ?
hello, are there many lizards?
Yes there are lizards throughout the resort but they stay away from people :)
what is the App called?
Hello! The name of the app is “Palladium Hotel Group” in the App Store
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
Absolutely! Safe travels :)
Dicen "mexican" cuando el tipo es MAS mexicano que el nopal 🤭🤭🤭
