Concierge.com's insider take:
The Presidente was one of Cancún's first luxury hotels, and though it's not as sleek and high-tech as some of its competitors, it has a comfy, lived-in casualness that suits the flip-flop-and-shorts ambience of Cancun. Some of the service staff here have been gushing over hotel guests for ten years. The scarcity of balconies in sea-facing rooms is a major flaw in the '70s-style architecture; ask for a suite on the tenth floor to insure the most generous space indoors and out. Renovations in 2006 to bring the property closer to the competition resulted in cocoon-soft beds in the 299 rooms and a mirrored tequila bar in the middle of a new glass-walled lobby, with pool and sea views. There's also Wi-Fi in the lobby, plus two restaurants and an upscale palapa beach bar where you can actually watch the sun set into the sea (most hotels face east). The best reason to book is Presidente's beach, the most private and peaceful stretch of silky white sand and languid aquamarine sea in the Zona Hotelera.
