Avalon Baccara is a beautiful and charming hotel completely unique. It is a converted villa so the scale is tiny. Avalon Baccara looks and feels like it is in Mexico, but with all the comforts and amenities you would want. Highlights are the beautiful white sand beach with crystal blue water and the swim up bar in a lovely shallow swimming pool with gorgeous tile mosaic design including a grotto with a waterfall. The views from the beach facing rooms are gorgeous, but even the lagoon facing rooms are a treat as they provide a stunning sunset every night.

The hotel is quaint and I actually enjoyed the decor. Something different from the typical resorts. And we knew from reading some reviews that there was no elevator. We can use the exercise. HOWEVER...at check in the bellman was nowhere to be found and while we saved tip money it was a long trek up to the 4th floor schlepping bags. Thank goodness we pack light (saving room for the tequila we had to take back,lol). Then the toilet stopped up. We had to call every day of our stay to have it plunged. Now they knew that room had plumbing problems before we got there. Fix it before renting it out again. The hotel is older but they need to close it - renovate - and reopen with it up to par with the Avalon down the street.

It is not what it seems in the pictures. Pictures look beutiful! NOT. Are room was pretty dumpy and we had a suite!!! My parents room was located on the 5th floor (no elevators) by its self next to a broom closet??? The staff was not helpful what so ever. Beach front was not even accesable and the entertament was cheesie. I have been to cancun before and was a great time. This trip was terrable. Spent all of our time outside of the resort. Sorry Avolon but Im not the only on that thought this way, every other guest there was also complaining about everything. And they really only have one pool with pool bar. The rest of the bars and all the restrants where at the avlon baccara Grand which is at least a block down the road!!!! To really top it all off travel agent messed up our booking and didnt give them our all exclusive info. Spend two days of our vaction trying to figure it out and no help from travel agent or The Avolon. And now we have a lawyer!!

The staff was friendly as usual but it was really disappointing. We stayed in a standard room. The spa was a hole in the group, out on the patio, covered in tile. It looked very old and unsanitary. There are no windows; the walls have the think foggy tiles that you see in showers. That�s how you get light into your room. There were no curtains so we could not dim the room during the day. We stayed one night and changed hotels the next day.

We booked a 2-bedroom suite in August for a December trip. On arriival we were told that our rooms were not available and we would be accommodated next door at the sister property, The Avalon Grand. We specifically chose the smaller Avalon Baccara for its Mexican decor and size. We were given a very nice (but very plainly decorated) 2 bedroom suite on the 4th floor (with no elevator). We had to climb 4 flights of narrow winding stairs each time we returned to our room. I definitely got the feeling that we were the victims of bait and switch. For a hotel with only 27 rooms, it seems to always be available to book on Online Travel Website. I guess they know they can always send them next door. I would definitely not book again at the Baccara or the Grand because I feel that we were deceived.

I wanted to get waway from the big Cancun hotel scenario and stay at a quaint smaller property...This is exactly what the Baccara is! Room 405 A will leave you with a wonderful view, nice size balcony with a hot tub and sore legs. You have to climb three flights of stairs to get there but is is deffinately worthwhile when you do. It's all stairs folks so be prepared for that if you do stay at the Baccara. Room 403 is the other best choice if you plan on staying at this hotel. CONS: Stairs, no blackout drapes in bedrooms, small beach, minimal food options, Jacuzzi's usually dont work but do have good hot and cold running water. PROS: Specific rooms mentioned are incredible with wonderful views and a feeling of privacy, kitchenettes, nice quaint small property feel. If you want something low key and want a unique old world feel suite feel for a low dollar....this is a great choice....considering all said in this review. If your looking for small, quaint, private and unique try the baccara but you got to get one of the rooms I mentioned or it just wont be the same.

First let me start by saying, the staff was extremely nice, but the accomodations are what are most important, especially when traveling with children. First the beach was closed, so from there it was just not going to be a pleasant experience. i enjoyed the old world charm of the hotel and its atmosphere, but the rooms do need to be repainted, retiled, etc, i think you get the point. The beds are horrible! cant' stress that enough and there are no elevators, so wear comfortable shoes. We checked out on the third morning, we needed a hotel with beach access for our girls or it would have been a long and miserable experience. But as I said before, the staff was very very nice, so we left not because of them, but because of the lack of beach access.

The Avalon Baccara @ Cancun was the perfect hotel during our stay. We ended up with the best room of the complex right on the very top of the hotel in the middle. We had a patio overlooking the lagoon and also the Caribbean sea. Our room was tremendously large and clean !!! The bathroom was a bit small but that didn't bother our stay. The hotel staff were helpful but could be a bit more attentive. The location of the hotel was great, right on the beach !!! Bus stops nearby, shopping malls were a walking distance and couple of places to eat nearby as well. The only complaint I have with this hotel is that, there's no elevator. But then again, considering all the food we ate it was a good idea to just walk up and down the complex instead of taking an elevator. The Avalon Baccara @ Cancun is a great place to stay.

We have been to many beach getaways, but few can compare to our latest adventure. First and most importantly, this hotel is not the typical huge resort that is found in the hotel zone. It is rustic, charming and the staff there could not be friendlier. From the front desk to Juan our pool bartender, everyone was truly glad that you were staying with them. We did not do the all inclusive plan, but decided to eat at the restaurant one very rainy evening. We had the place to ourselves and everything from the sushi appetizer to my duck breast, was great. We are very picky about our dining experiences, so take it as a fact ...this was good food, prepared well, severed by our attentive bartender/waiter in a pretty location overlooking the ocean. (the A/C was not working that evening)Now that I've mentioned the ocean, I have to tell you our only disappointment... there is no beach to speak of. On all but our last day, the ocean waves came right up to the sea wall. This is a problem all along the coast and not limited to just this hotel. Appears hurricane Willmar wiped the beach away 2 years ago.

The room was uncomfortable - the curtains did not cover the window and the one window that did open was in the bathroom and it overlooked (overheard) another room's hot-tub. The mattress was 'very' firm, was like sleeping on a wooden plank. In general, the hotel is very run-down and tired looking, and the staff were 'crusty'.

We found the Avalon Beccara to be exactly what we expected...older colonial style small hotel. The room was small by modern standards, but the large balcony gave us all the space we needed to relax in the lovely weather. The bath area was good with spacious vanity and dressing area including shelves & hanging space. Air conditioning was excellent & easily manged by a thermostat. Hot water took a few minutes to reach our upper floor, but we were in no hurry. Towels & toiletries were excellent. The common areas were spacious and the pool and sun deck good. The dining room was charming and the food excellent and reasonably priced. Our only surprise was that the beach in Cancun has been completely eroded away by the hurricanes. We watched the waves crashing against the sea wall several times, but not the same as walking on the beach. Other hotels had no better luck....apparently you can take city buses (not air conditioned) some distance to a beach, but we did not go as shopping & dining were close by in easy walking distance.

The Avalon Baccara was simply amazing. The hotel was very clean and everybody was very nice. The pool and all the other amenities were kept up very well and the room keeping was working non stop around the clock. The hotel staff and front desk was 24/7 if you needed anything and security was there as well. The beach was very clean and private and I recommend this hotel to anyone. Overall I was very satisfied and will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Cancun.

I loved this hotel. It was unique and had an individual style. It is not a cookie cutter hotel at all. The room was a 2 bedroom suite with 2 full baths, a living room, a dining room and a small kitchen. We had an ocean front balcony with a large tiled jacuzzi. It was private and very relaxing. The staff was great and did everything possible to make our stay the best. Just a couple of heads up items. There is no elevator, so be prepared for lots of stair climbing. The beds are VERY firm. Water was turned off a couple of times, but never for long. The last 2 nights the air conditioner just would not cool off the room, the windows in the bedroom did not open to let in the sea breeze so it got hot and uncomfortable. Just take a cool shower before bed and you will be fine! Dining options are limited but here's the good news... the sister resort Avalon Grand is almost next door. They have theme nights at the beach and their pool, a really good Mexican restaurant, a good breakfast buffet, a sports bar and menu service for dinner... and if you go all inclusive at Baccara you can do it all at the Grand. You can also use the facilities at the Avalon Reef on Isla Mujeres. All and all it was a great 7 day stay. We loved the staff and the hotel. The few complaints that I mentioned above did not take anything away from the wonderful time we had. I would recommend this to anyone except those that want super luxury accomodations or those with handicaps that may make all of the stairs impossible. Otherwise, go and have as great a time as we did. If you are laid back and looking to relax at a one of a kind place... this is it. We will definitely be going back!

The Avalon Baccara is a small (27 rm.) property right on the beach in Cancun, in the quieter area about a mile or two (quick bus ride) from the action. The resort has an all-inclusive option which allows guests to use the sister Avalon Grand next door. This is a good thing since restaurant choices are slim at the Baccara (1 cafe for breakfast, cafe or poolside for lunch, fancy restaurant for dinner). THe Grand had a good 3 meal buffet and an excellent Mexican restaurant (as an all inclusive guest, you can take the ferry to Isla Mujeres and spend the day at the Avalon Reef. Worth a daytrip to explore this charming little island). The Baccara has 1 and 2 BR apartments. We were upgraded to a 2 BR, oceanfront, with a blue tiled jacuzzi on the oceanfront balcony. Heavenly! The apt. was a great size for a small family, rustic-chic with interesting furnishings.

Staff was great. Bed were very hard, considered moving to the floor to sleep on something less firm. AC was a wall mount but worked well, no hot water the first day and water was off the second day for an hour while the gardener watered the plants? Hotel would'nt allow outgoing calls and pay phone was to static-e. Also no internet service. Nothing i ordered tasted good but my fiances food was very tasty.
