We had a great time at the Great Parnassus. We paid a very good price for this hotel. Bars - excellent. If you tip the bartender a few bucks, he will pour you some pretty strong drinks. They had a huge variety of beer/wine/liquor available. Rooms - beds are OK, not the best, but not rock hard either. The rooms... More

Cannot compete with other Cancun resorts. Infrastructure is falling apart. Roof leaks whenever rains. Food is awful. On surface appears clean but small touches not taken care of. Corners dirty, closet floor not swept. Needs overhaul. More

I won't be long. I have never written a review in all of my travels,...never thought I had to. The staff and location of this resort are wonderful. I do not have enough good things to say about the people that work there. As is expected, a little tipping goes along way to get you whatever you want or need.... More

Thought I would share my experience on this wonderful place called Great Parnassus. Since May 2011 I have returned to Mexico six times and each time I returned to the Great Parnassus, the staff there are so thoughtful, kind and amazing. The food was great, so much to choose from. Italian, Japanese, Mexican and American Cuisine, I really enjoyed the... More

We arrived at this resort unhappy having been bumped from Golden Parnassus due to overbooking. We had an idea that this would happen so my girlfriend and I decided that we would make the best of it and have a good time anyway. After some wrangling, we were given an 11th floor club room with a balcony hot tub( took... More

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

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
