나우 에메랄드 칸쿤

Spent a week at the Now Emerald Cancun in the beginning of June. We usually stay in the Riviera Maya area, but tried something new to hopefully get away from the sargassum. And in that regard, the resort was fine - little seaweed and a nice beach. But the resort itself was dated, services were inconsistent, and food was sub-par. Room: we were in a Preferred Club Premium with Plunge Pool room. We were on an upper floor with a nice view. Some people we spoke to said that the couple of thunderstorms we had in the evenings flooded their floor, so I would definitely not have liked to be on a lower level. The room was OK, although the only furniture other than the bed was an easy chair. It would have been nice to have either a second chair or a small sofa so that both my wife and I could have a place to sit other than one having to be on the bed. The privacy lock on the door didn't work, and when I put in a maintenance request to fix it, even though the app said the work was complete, it still didn't work. There is no safety chain or anything, so I was a bit leery of not having some sort of additional lock. There was a Nepresso style coffee maker in the room, which we thought would be great since we're both big coffee drinkers. But the machine barely worked, sometimes making a full double shot of espresso but other times only dribbling out a few drops of coffee and making a mess of leaked water on the tray under the machine. And housekeeping only brought coffee pods once during our week long stay - we had to ask for them most of the time. Housekeeping also was inconsistent about replacing towels, so we had to ask for more on a couple of occasions, and one day they didn't make up the bed. Pools - there is only a swim-up bar at the main pool. It has a waterfall that cascades over the entire length of the bar, so if that's operating, you can't really walk away from the bar with a drink easily. The swim-up bar is also separated from the surrounding pool such that you need to either hop up over the pool wall or get out and re-enter the bar pool area if you want to go there, which I found annoying. The adults only pool is 8 or 9 feet deep for about half of the pool area, which might be ok if you want to swim some laps for exercise, but which was mostly a waste since no one really used that part of the pool. Bar service at the pools was mostly good, although better at the main pool than the adults only. Food - probably the biggest area of concern at the Now Emerald. The buffet was typical of Cancun all inclusives, although somewhat small and with less selection than I had expected. The Italian restaurant was a complete fail, bringing us the wrong food, then not bringing the appetizers we ordered, then finally bring the correct entrees after a long wait. And it struck me that, for an Italian place, they really had no Italian entrees on the menu. We had once nice meal at the French restaurant, but it was only open one night out of the 7 we were there. We wa

Overall the resort was very nice. The hotel is a little outdated but I didn’t have any major issues. I wasn’t sure if they were preparing for renovations like other Now resorts. The restaurants were also very good. I especially loved the Asian restaurant. The sunset views are spectacular! The restaurant is on the upper level with no fans or ventilation so it does get hot. But it did not prevent me from dining there several times! I loved the Mexican restaurant also! Excellent menu, great service and atmosphere! The French restaurant was very good as well! The entertainment was also very good! There was a fire show and Mexican Night featuring traditional songs and dances. I met wonderful people from all over the world and my fitness classes were popular and everyone seemed very easy going and accommodating.
