We stayed at TRS Yucatan for 7 days, our first 5-star resort in Mexico and first time in Cancun. The check-in was smooth, but the late-night buffet food was disappointing, though we hoped it was a one-time issue.
Our JR suite with a private pool was nice, but lacked privacy from neighboring suites. The butler service was fine, though with one person serving the entire villa, they were sometimes hard to reach. The resort is massive, with access to multiple properties, and both the beach and pools were great.
The food and drinks were the biggest letdowns. The bars drinks, like piña coladas and margaritas, lacked flavor and were overly alcoholic. We expected better from a 5-star resort, especially since we had a mediocre experience at a 4-star resort two years ago that seemed comparable.
The buffets were mostly terrible, with issues like moldy food, undercooked meats, and flies. Some dishes were okay, but overall, by the end of the week, we were eager to leave for better food. The à la carte restaurants were a step up, but still underwhelming.
Adding to the disappointment, we were invited for a tour and birthday gift for my partner which initially appeared really nice, only to be pushed into a timeshare pitch, which was extremely dishonest. To top it off, I got food poisoning on the last day.
Overall, we were extremely disappointed and won’t be returning.
