Escape to Paradise: Cancun's BEST Tequila Hotel! (Puerto Morelos)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re about to jump headfirst into the tequila-soaked paradise that is Escape to Paradise: Cancun's BEST Tequila Hotel! (Puerto Morelos). Forget your perfectly airbrushed Instagram feeds, I’m bringing you the REAL DEAL. This isn't just a review, man, it's a love letter…or, at least, a slightly tipsy, sunburnt testimonial.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Honestly
Alright, let's address the elephant in the (potentially margarita-stained) room: accessibility. The hotel does claim to have "facilities for disabled guests," and they advertise an elevator. But honestly, I'd call ahead and confirm exactly what that means. My buddy, who uses a wheelchair, found navigating the resort a bit…tricky. Some pathways were a little uneven, and while the staff were super helpful, it wasn't exactly effortless. So, buyer beware, confirm those specifics!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe, Even After Too Many Margaritas
Okay, this is where they shine. COVID-19 got me stressing, but Escape to Paradise gets it. Like, full-blown, over-the-top, "your-Grandma-would-approve" levels of cleanliness.
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Yep.
- Daily disinfection in common areas? You betcha.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? Absolutely.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere? Seriously, you could bathe in it. (Don't, though. Probably not smart.)
- Staff trained in safety protocols? They were like ninja-cleaners, swift and efficient.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Yep, pretty good, though it's easy to get a little close when chatting with the bartender about the best tequila.
- Rooms sanitized between stays? Okay, I mentioned it before, but it’s impressive.
- Safe dining setup? They even, like, asked if I wanted to skip daily room cleaning. Top marks!
I'm a germophobe at heart, and I actually felt relaxed. Even after sampling a few too many shots of tequila at the bar, I felt safe. They took all the precautions seriously.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Oh, the Tequila! (and Food)
Now we're talking my language. This is where the "tequila hotel" part really comes in.
- The Bar: This is where I basically lived. They had a Poolside bar (crucial), Happy hour (even more crucial), and a selection of tequilas that would make a sommelier weep with joy. The bartenders know their stuff, and frankly, I became best friends with several of them. They even had the good sense to offer water alongside all those shots.
- Restaurants: There are Restaurants serving a mix of International cuisine and some seriously good Asian cuisine in restaurant. I had a killer Pad Thai one night.
- A la carte in restaurant: Yes, and the prices were not absolutely crazy.
- Breakfast: Breakfast [buffet]! I’m a sucker for a buffet, and they had a solid one, with a decent Western breakfast and some of those Asian breakfasts too. There's Coffee/tea in restaurant, and Desserts in restaurant if you've got that sweet tooth.
- Room service [24-hour]: Because, sometimes, you just need a burger at 3 AM.
BUT… here's my one slight grumble: the food, while good, wasn’t mind-blowing. It was consistent, reliable, and tasty, but not an epicurean adventure. I kind of wished they had pushed boundaries in that kitchen.
For the Kids (and the Childlike): Family Fun
- Family/child friendly is advertised, but I didn't personally see many kids.
- The hotel is, however, great for getting in touch with your inner child.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Concierge: Super helpful. They booked excursions for me, and helped navigate my limited Spanish.
- Daily housekeeping: Excellent. They’re so thorough, and leave charming little towel animals.
- Luggage storage: Essential, because I did more shopping for tequila bottles than I would have liked to admit.
- Laundry service: Saved my life. Let’s just say I spilled something on my favorite shirt. More than once.
- Currency exchange: Convenient.
- Cash withdrawal: Good to have.
- Gift/souvenir shop: for all of your tequila-related needs!
Internet: Wi-Fi's Okay, Could Be Better
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Awesome!
- Internet access – wireless: Yep, it worked.
- Internet However, the speed wasn’t always lightning fast, especially when I was trying to upload my masterpiece sunset photos (that took about 4 hours).
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Where the Magic Happens
Right, let's be honest, this is where the "Escape to Paradise" part should REALLY kick in.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Ah, yes. The pool with the view. Beautiful, honestly.
- Spa: The spa was pure bliss. Yes, absolutely get a massage. Massage is the key!
- Sauna: I'm not a sauna person, so didn't try it.
- Gym/fitness: I only peeked in the gym. It looked clean and functional.
- Body scrub, Body wrap: The spa also offers these and other fun things.
- Pool with view: The pool is amazing!
- Shine in the Pool: I actually, sat in the pool and just stared at the view for a little bit… It’s that good.
Cleanliness? Top-Notch
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I am an anxious traveler, and this hotel put my mind at ease. The cleanliness was exceptional.
The Rooms: Comfortable and Well-Equipped
The rooms were great.
- Air conditioning: Because, duh.
- Blackout curtains: Essential for sleeping off that tequila.
- Coffee/tea maker: Perfect for the morning after.
- Free bottled water: Always appreciated.
- Hair dryer: Because, hey, you need to look good even when you're sunburnt and a bit tipsy.
- In-room safe box: For all your valuables (and maybe that emergency bottle of tequila you bought).
- Mini bar: stocked.
- Bathrobes, slippers: Luxuries!
- Seating area: Great to relax.
- Window that opens Okay.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy (Mostly)
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Parking good.
- Airport transfer: Offered. Convenient.
My Unsolicited, Honest Opinion (Because You Asked)
Okay, here it is: Escape to Paradise is a solid choice. The tequila selection is amazing, the cleanliness is impeccable, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the pool is heavenly. My only (minor) gripes are the food (it's fine, but not amazing) and the accessibility could be improved a little bit.
Quirk Alert!: The Squirrel Incident
One morning, I was sitting on my balcony drinking coffee and trying to meditate (don't judge). Suddenly, a squirrel, a bold squirrel, decided my balcony was a buffet. He started eyeing my breakfast pastry. I tried to shoo him away, but he just stared me down, like, "Dude, you gonna share or what?" It was both comical and, frankly, a little intimidating. The hotel staff, when I told them, just laughed and said it happens all the time. It became a running joke.

Luxury Escapes Await: Country Garden Phoenix Hotel, Chuzhou!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized brochure itinerary. We're going to Tequila Factory Cancun Hotel in Puerto Morelos, and trust me, you're in for a ride. Prepare for a schedule… or, well, a suggestion, really. Because let's be honest, actual plans in Mexico? They’re more like helpful suggestions tossed into a hurricane.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Margarita Hunt (and a Whole Lotta “Uh-Oh”)
- Morning (ish - Let's be Real):
- 6:00 AM: Wake up to the shrieking alarm, already regretting that last "one more" beer at the airport bar. The flight's…mostly on time. Miraculous.
- Around 11:00 AM (give or take a hurricane delay): Arrive at Cancun. Humidity smacks you in the face like a wet dishrag. Taxi negotiations begin. My Spanish is rusty ("¿Cuánto?"), and the driver's English is… well, let’s just say it's a conversation largely conducted through dramatic hand gestures and the universal language of pointing.
- 12:30 PM (hopefully): Finally, glory! Pull up to the Tequila Factory Cancun Hotel! Check-in. It's prettier than the pictures, but the "ocean view" from my room is… a sliver of ocean if I lean precariously out the window and squint. Score!
- 1:00 PM: Drop the bags, immediately regret not packing lighter (why did that sequined jacket seem like a good idea?). Time for the first glorious mission: The Margarita Hunt.
- Afternoon:
- 1:30 PM: Hit the hotel bar. First margarita. It tastes like sunshine and freedom and slightly stale lime. Perfect. This is the life.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Poolside chilling. Sunscreen applied with varying degrees of thoroughness. Try convincing the hotel staff to let me use a pool noodle.
- 4:30 PM: Realisation: I forgot to pack deodorant. This could be a problem…
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Exploring the hotel grounds. The little shops, the quirky bits of art.
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. The food is… edible. Let's be charitable. The mariachi band, however, is fantastic and worth the overcooked tacos.
- 9:00 PM: Back to the bar for "one more" margarita. It's never just one, is it?
- 9:30 PM: Decide to learn a few basic Spanish phrases from a very patient bartender.
- 10:00 PM: End up attempting to sing karaoke in VERY broken Spanish.
- 11:00 PM: Stumble back to my room, convinced I'm fluent in Spanish and planning to revolutionize the tourism industry.
Day 2: Puerto Morelos Adventure (and Avoiding the Tourist Traps)
- Morning:
- 8:00 AM (more likely 9:00): Wake up with a throbbing head and a vague memory of karaoke. "¡Hola mundo!"… followed by a groan.
- 9:30 AM: Breakfast. Scrambled eggs that taste suspiciously like they came from a pre-made mix. Coffee. Plenty of coffee.
- 10:30 AM: Hire a taxi to Puerto Morelos town. The driver tries to convince me to go to a souvenir shop. I am not falling for the classic tourist trap! I want the real experience
- 11:30 AM: Wander around Puerto Morelos. This is exactly what I was looking for.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch in a random local restaurant. Fresh seafood!
- Afternoon:
- 2:00 PM: The Beach! Stroll down the beach and feel the sand between your toes.
- 3:00 PM: Snorkelling! It was great, but now my mask is leaking.
- 4:00 PM: Drink a beer.
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the best restaurant in town!
- 9:00 PM: Head back to the hotel.
Day 3: Relaxation, Regrets, Repeat (and a Near-Disaster with a Chicken)
- Morning:
- 8:00 AM (again, likely later): The sun is relentless. I am relentless.
- 9:00 AM: Another breakfast of questionable quality. I start eyeing the fruit selection with suspicion.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM: Poolside again. This time, I'm armed with a trashy novel and a healthy dose of self-loathing (about that karaoke).
- Afternoon:
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at the hotel. It's getting repetitive.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Naps! Needed.
- 4:00 PM: I decide to go for a walk on the beach. I come across a chicken. I think.
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Another attempt at dinner. I go for something safe: Pasta.
- 9:00 PM: The Margarita Hunt continues.
Day 4: Departure & The Promise of Return (or at Least a Detox)
- Morning:
- 8:00 AM: Wake up in a panic. Did I even pack?
- 9:00 AM: Final breakfast. They seem to be out of coffee.
- 10:00 AM: Check out.
- Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM: Airport.
- 5:00 PM: Home.
Overall Notes:
- Bring: Deodorant. Bug spray. And a healthy dose of patience.
- Budget: Flexible. See "Margarita Count." Factor in impulse souvenir buys fueled by tequila.
- Spanish: Learn a few phrases. It's helpful. (Though, let's be honest, you can get by with pointing and smiling.)
- Expect: To be surprised. To laugh. To get a little lost. To have moments of pure, unadulterated bliss. And to maybe, just maybe, vow to drink less tequila next time… but let's not fool ourselves. There WILL be a next time. Mexico has a way of getting under your skin.
Okay, so... "Escape to Paradise: Cancun's BEST Tequila Hotel"? Really? That's a BIG claim. What's the deal?
Alright, deep breath. "Best" is subjective, obviously. But after a week there? Yeah, I'm leaning *heavily* towards "possibly." Look, the tequila flows like the river of… well, tequila. I’m a tequila newbie, honestly. Always thought it was just… *that* stuff. Turns out, there's a whole damned world. And these guys? They *get* tequila. They *live* it. There's tasting, there's learning… there’s falling head-over-heels in love with a specific Blanco that tasted like sunshine and… wait, was that a hint of mango? They don't just *serve* you. They educate. And the pool? Heaven. The beach? Even more heaven. This isn't just a hotel; it's an experience. A slightly wobbly, potentially regretful (in the *best* way), but ultimately *amazing* experience.
Puerto Morelos? Isn’t that… far from the party? Is it even worth it?
Okay, so, Cancun proper? It's a bit… much, sometimes. The Spring Breakers, the relentless vendors… Yeah, Puerto Morelos is a *blessing*. It's quiet. Chill. Perfect for recovering from a night fueled by… well, you know. The hotel is on the beach, the sea is calm… I spent a whole morning (or was it afternoon? Tequila, remember?) just staring at the turquoise water. Thinking. Not thinking. Just… *being*. Worth it? Absolutely. You *can* day-trip into the crazy if you absolutely *need* it, but honestly? I didn't. I needed the peace. And the tequila. Mostly the tequila. Oh, and the ceviche by the beach. Never had better. My taste buds are weeping with joy when I just *think* about it.
What's the food like? I'm a picky eater…
Okay, I'm *also* a picky eater. I like… uncomplicated food. And I’m the kind of person that is afraid of eating something they don't like. BUT listen. The breakfast buffet is killer! Seriously, I’m not one for buffets usually, but this one was... surprisingly good. Fresh fruit, amazing pastries (that chocolate croissant still haunts my dreams!), and, blessedly, they had a made-to-order omelet station. Dinner? A la carte. The seafood was… *chef's kiss*. I had the grilled fish and you're gonna roll your eyes, but *it was perfect*. Crispy on the outside. Flaky on the inside. And perfectly complemented with a perfect margarita. Because of the perfect tequila they keep on hand.
Now, I *did* try a dish one night that involved… a sauce I didn't quite understand. Let’s just say it didn’t… agree with my palate. (Mostly, I think my brain was trying to protect my stomach from further tequila-related damage!). But honestly, that’s on *me*. There were plenty of other options. Don't be shy to ask if needed!
Everyone raves about the tequila, but what *else* is there to do? I can only drink for so long...
Okay, fair point. Although, as the days went on, my tolerance surprisingly increased! But, yes, there's more than just tequila. The beach is amazing. Seriously, just… *amazing*. Walk along it. Swim in the turquoise water. People-watch. The hotel has a pool (hello, swim-up bar!). They offer excursions. I did the snorkeling. I swear it was like being in a different world. Or you could just… do nothing. And that’s perfectly fine. That’s *what* I needed too. Spa treatments are available. I’m not usually a spa person, but after a few days of sun and… celebratory beverages, a massage felt *heavenly*.
And let's be real, some nights? I just sat on my balcony, staring at the stars, contemplating… life. With a glass of tequila, of course. It was a good plan.
What are the rooms like? Are they… nice?
Yes! The rooms are lovely. Clean. Modern. Balconies overlooking the ocean? Yes, please! I booked a room with a view, and it was worth every penny. Waking up to that view every morning… it was just… *sigh*. I'm going to stop talking about the view, I'm getting emotional and maybe that is from a night of tequila, I do not know. The beds are comfy. The air conditioning works. All the important things are covered.
I had a slight issue with the safe not working. (Minor inconvenience, I admit. I’m sure I was just doing something wrong, possibly after another tequila tasting. They fixed it within five minutes, and were super apologetic. Which I did not need to apologize for!)
Is the hotel staff friendly? I'm terrible at languages.
Yes. The staff were *amazing*. Seriously. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs. My Spanish is… well, let’s just say I know how to order a cerveza and that is about the extent. But everyone spoke enough English to help me navigate the tricky waters of tequila tasting (and other things!). They were patient, they were smiling, and they made the whole experience feel welcoming. I remember that especially, because during one particularly spirited tequila session (more on that later), I accidentally *tripped and spilled an entire glass of expensive tequila all over myself*. Mortifying, right? The staff didn't even bat an eye. They cleaned it up, brought me a fresh drink (the *same* drink, bless them!), and made me feel… not like a complete klutz. That’s a level of service I’ll never forget.
Tell me more about the tequila tastings! What makes them so special?
Oh. My. God. The tequila tastings… are an *experience*. They’re not just a quick shot of tequila; they’re an education. You learn about the different types of tequila – Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and beyond! You learn about the agave plant itself. You learn about the history. You learn… a lot. And you get to taste a *lot*. I remember this one tasting specifically: There was this guy, maybe the head of the Tequila Program (I didn't catch his name, sorry, tequila, remember?) who was… just passionate. He talked about the nuances – the notes of citrus, the hints of vanilla, the… I swear, one tequila tasted like freshly cut grass! It was insaneBook Hotels Now
