Our second time in two years staying at this resort and we'll make a third attempt next year. If your a family with kids make this resort your only destination. All the staff are fabulous. As long as the weather is sunny which in two years now we been lucky, then you'll have a great time here. Really. More

Went for a family vacation, and we enjoyed ourselves for the most part. While we were at the resort, a floor flooded, the power went out (for hours), we had things stolen from our room, there was only transportation from the airport to the resort and then back to the airport, we got sick from the food one day, we...

We went to the great Parnassus from Jan 20-27, 2012. I just read the 10 most recent reviews written while I was away and am convinced they stayed in a totally different hotel than we did. I have only 2 complaints, which are probably the most minor things about the vacation. First, the fridge in our room was empty. At... More

We just got back. We took our three kids (3,6,8) and had a really nice time. It is not a super fancy luxury hotel but it was nice and our room was clean. The buffet gets old quick but the restaurants and outdor grill were good. No Mexican restaurant, which was kind of strange. Take your own cup for drinks-their's... More

Just got back from the Great Paranassus and we had a blast. We went with 2 other couples and none of us had any complaints. No this is not a 5 star resort but this is a very nice resort.We met some great people and had a lot of fun. The beach was beautiful and so was the pools. I... More

Wow...I am so tired of hearing all the complaining!! I initially booked this resort since we have 3 children, our oldest was 18 at the time we travelled and it was nearly impossible to find any place to accomodate 3 adults and 2 children without booking 2 rooms. After booking I began reading reviews and was immediately regretting wasting our... More

I traveled with my husband, a friend and her two boys. My first experience of the Great Parnassus was standing in line waiting to get my room keys after 1:00 p.m. I was speaking to this woman who came to the resort the night before at 9:00 p.m., she went to check in and the resort did not have a...

We were at the Great Parnassus again in January- this is our 3rd year we have 3 kids and it is great for the kids- the kids clud staff is great. The rooms are okay.. the beds are terrible, like sleeping on wood but the family rooms have a decent lay-out to accomodate families with the bunk beds. The food... More

My wife and I just returned for our annual warm vacation. We’ve been to Cancun many times in the past and decided to stay at the Great Parnassus due to the price. Initially, we wanted to stay at the Golden Parnassus but it was booked so we had to settle for the Great. We arrived before noon which is well... More

The Great Parnassus looks like it is about ready to crumble. The walls leak in many areas. The ceilings are all patched. The mattresses are beyond old. The rooms are sparse. The towels are frayed and stained and you only get those if you beg. The Michael Jackson show could have been OK except there was no air conditioning and... More
