15 Surprising Facts About 5 Star Resorts In Mexico

Close your eyes and picture this: the warm Mexican sun on your face and the salty smell of the Pacific Ocean in the air. You can hear the waves softly making their music in the background and you can hear the bartender making his way towards your private cabana with your sweet pina colada.

Do you think maybe it's time for a vacation? Well then, look no further than the popular destination of Mexico. Before you contemplate which resort to spend your hard-earned money on, read on for 15 surprising facts about Mexican five-star resorts that might help you make up your mind.

15 Food, Food, And More Food

Yes, at a five-star resort, you expect five-star quality food, but most patrons are actually still quite shocked by the quantity of food there is. There is definitely no shortage of food at a Mexican resort and hopefully, they never run out of tacos.

14 You Still Need Your Wallet

Not everything is included at five-star resorts and surprisingly even at all-inclusive resorts. If you want late-night room service or even a small souvenir, these costs are not factored into their pricing. Expect to pay quite a lot out of pocket for even a small key chain, so do not forget your wallet.

13 Get Out And About

As gorgeous as the five-star scenery onsite is, Mexico has lots to offer outside the boundaries of the property. Mexico has some of the richest culture and most beautiful landscapes, so there is so much to see than just the resort beaches and swim-up bar.

12 Do Not Disturb For Real

Believe it or not, that little door sign is actually a contract between you and the hotel staff. They actually cannot enter when you have a Do Not Disturb Sign hanging on your doorknob (unless you are supposed to check out or there is a fear for safety).

11 Here's A Tip

As with all customer relations jobs, tipping is encouraged and definitely helps with the way you are treated by the workers at the resort. So here's a "tip"; tip the staff assigned to your room and even at your soon to be favorite bar when you first arrive, and you will definitely get more than five-star service.

10 Loyal To The Core

Many five-star resorts belong to chain hotels and they all have loyalty and/or reward programs for repeat guests. What better way to benefit from a top of the line vacation than to be rewarded monetarily for your trip?

9 More Affordable Than You Think

Between reward and loyalty programs, discounts during off-seasons, and everything that is included in the price, staying at a five-star resort is surprisingly affordable. Guests who stay at lower star resorts can end up paying more for the amenities and excursions not included in their pricing.

8 So Many Options, So Little Time

From family-friendly to adult-exclusive, there are so many different five star resorts to choose from. As Mexico is a popular destination for vacations, they have cultivated and created an array of five-star resort options that will definitely suit your relaxation or adventure needs!

7 Craving Some Late Night Eats

After a relaxing day at the spa then a fun night taste-testing local tequilas, coming back late to your room noticing the restaurant is closed is no big thing at these resorts. Room service is 24 hours and probably just as good at 3 a.m. as during the day.

The beauty of being at a resort with five-star chefs is that guests can go off-menu and they will do whatever they can to accommodate them. Guests always come first, and they will do whatever they can do help make your wish their command.

5 Get Off Your Tush

There is so much more to do than just swim-up bars, beaches and infinity pools. Resorts are infamous for relaxation, but there is an array of activities from family salsa dance lessons to zip-lining through the lush Mexican landscape.

4 You Better Be Nice

Believe it or not, but your behavior is recorded in a database for future reference. If you're an unruly guest, you may not be allowed to come back. Five-star resorts are about the experience and if you're intruding on their other resort goers' experiences, then you may have to look elsewhere for your next vacay.

3 Worth The Upgrade

There is a big difference between a four-star and five-star resort. As luxurious as four-star resorts are, that extra star includes top of the line amenities, state of the art facilities, and innovated activities for guests that do not compare.

2 You Just Have To Ask

There is actually a list of extra amenities that are free but not advertised available to guests as long as they just ask. Staff have literally orchestrated thousands of surprise proposals, brought champagne to guests in their private cabanas, and help plan the most beautiful weddings.

1 More Money, More Amenities

Surprisingly, you do pay for what you get at resorts. If you settle for a few stars, then you should not be surprised to only get a few star quality treatment and amenities. The star rating system exists for a reason, so if you're looking for the best vacation you should stay at the best resort.
