Welcome to a world where Hollywood meets the Caribbean – Planet Hollywood Cancun. Nestled along the pristine shores of Costa Mujeres, this cinematic-inspired resort promises not just a vacation but an immersive experience that blends luxury, entertainment, and the mesmerizing beauty of the Mexican coast.
We made the reservations through Costco travel which was very convenient and one stop solution for flights, resort and commute from the airport. The resort is about 50mins away from airport and far from the hotel zone. It works if you do not plan to do any activities outside the resort and just relax at the resort. As soon as you enter you are immediately transported into a world of luxury and you will feel like a celebrity. The roof of the entry walkway lights up with loud music, you will be greeted with claps from the staff and other guests in the lobby.
There are several room and suite categories at the resort. The resort is a large space so the closer you are to the ocean and beach, the longer you will have to walk to the main area where the restaurants and entertainment is located. We stayed very close to the ocean, 2nd building from the water and it would take us about 8-10mins walk to the lobby which we didn't mind at all. Just another good way to spend all the extra calories from all inclusive dining.
The one bedroom directors suite we stayed in was very roomy and located on the highest floor with the resort view and wonderful ocean view. I couldn't help but appreciate the thoughtful touches inspired by Hollywood's golden era. The chic décor, coupled with modern amenities, created a comfortable haven. There is a microwave in the kitchen in addition to the mini bar, refrigerator and coffee setup which is nice to have especially if you are traveling with infants.
This is a view of the resort from our suite. One thing to note is that the suite obviously comes with a separate living and sleeping areas so the balcony is two times longer than a regular room which is really nice when you are on the top floor. The swim suites are all on the ground level obviously so that's one thing to remember when you are booking your accommodations.
Dining Delights: Planet Hollywood Cancun isn't just about the scenery; it's a culinary journey. From themed restaurants featuring global cuisines to stylish bars serving signature cocktails, every dining experience is a star-studded affair. Whether you crave international flavors or local delights, the resort caters to every palate. The specialty themed restaurants often have a large wait times ranging from 1-2hours. We did wait 2.5hrs to get a table at the Indian restaurant Sutra. The wait was totally worth it because of the whole experience, we got to taste very good food and also watch an Indian Bollywood dance performance.
East sushi and teppanyaki bar was a great experience as well, we were lucky and got a table in 15mins. The trick is to start lining up around 4PM for dinner even though the restaurants only open at 5. Star class members get an advantage and can reserve the table ahead without any wait. Hibachi tables have a longer wait but worth it to see the performance of the chef.
There is Guy's burgers which is very convenient, Gusto's Italian for casual Italian Dining.
For the days when you are not in a mood to wait there is always SoCal Gourmet which is Buffet dining serving continental breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Resort Facilities: Dive into luxury with multiple pools overlooking the turquoise waters, or pamper yourself at the spa that promises relaxation in true Hollywood style. The resort's facilities are designed to make every guest feel like a star, with fitness centers, entertainment areas, and more.

The staff, reminiscent of backstage crew ensuring a seamless production, goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable.

They truly care for the guests, the concierge went above and beyond to get an emergency medicine for my infant daughter.
