This is another suite review for those on a budget looking to vacation in Cancun–this time it is an adults-only resort. Don’t let Golden Parnassus Cancun fool you; it may be a smaller and less well-known resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, but it has a devoted following. If you’re 30+, on a budget, and are looking for an adults-only resort with a party atmosphere, this may be the resort for you.
The beachfront pool is the heart of GPC along with the infamous poolside Tiki Bar (open until 2 a.m.). Many happy hours and fond memories have been made at this spot by many vacationers–the bar is so important to the resort that it was fully redone a couple of years ago. There is also a beachfront Jacuzzi down a level from the pool–also a vacay hotspot for guests. This resort offers a buffet restaurant, four a la cartes, a poolside snack bar, creperie (also serving coffee 24/7), four bars (including a sports bar but no swim-up bar here), and a small spa, gym, and theater.
If you are thinking of booking here, I would stick to the Club Room With Sea View or the Golden room categories. They are very much the same in layout and view both with an in-room Jacuzzi. The Golden room category offers a few more perks including an in-room bottle of sparkling wine and a dinner for two served inside your room (have to make a reservation for that).
Below is a short video of the Golden room, but as I said, the Club and Golden room categories are very similar. This video was taken several years ago; note that the room has a lagoon view. This featured room is probably now under the category of Club Room.
What do you think? Would you stay here?
