We went to Cancun and stayed at the Girasol. It was the best location we could have ever found! We walked to EVERYTHING!! And the beach was amazing. The night clubs were about a block away, and were so much fun. And you couldn't hear the music from the condo, so it was perfect! I would definitely recommend this condo for any families with children, college groups, or adult couples. It was perfect. The staff were very friendly and even served us our food and drinks down on the beach. If you want to experience a piece of heaven, this is it. Thanks Teresa and Jay!!

We had a great time in your condo! Went with a group of ladies for a girls weekend away and had a very nice time. Felt very safe in and around condo at all times. Front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. Restaurant had good breakfast and excellent drink service on the beach! Beach view is fantastic and can walk to shopping and restaurants (recommend Natura next to the OXXO station!). Would definitely come back and rent again!

Needless to say, our experience at the Girasol complex was truly unforgettable! All of us had a great time with the amazing view, friendly staff and unbelievable location. There is NO better location if you are looking for nightlife and entertainment. I think we were the envy of many people we met due to our privacy, location and spacious abode. I highly recommend this place while staying in Cancun! Without doubt, if we return to Cancun sometime soon, we know where to stay!

CANCUN TRIP 2009 BEST OF FRIENDS, BEST TIME OF OUR LIVES!! Our trip to Cancun this year was one we will all never forget! We rented out Penthouse four at the Girasol which was located right on the strip downtown in the middle of all the action. The condo was perfect for our group. Clean, comfortable and beautiful! We enjoyed every second of our time staying there and we will be back! The breathtaking ocean views and the amenities our condo had made us all feel right at home! One of the concerns we all had going down to Mexico was that of the whole safety issue. All of us were coming from the U.S. and all we had heard was how dangerous everything was down there. We were wrong. At no time were we at any danger while we were at the Girasol or in Cancun for that matter. This was really amazing because it made for a really memorable vacation despite the conflict portrayed in the media. On behalf of our whole group we just want to thank Teresa for all her hard work and wonderful hospitality she showed us from day one. Thank you Teresa for making this trip possible for us!! We will all never forget spring break 2009!:} We will be Back!!!:} BEST REGARDS, Jeff,Matt,Charly,Casey,Kellie,Kristy,Mike,Jason Thanks so much!!!

Review Submitted: 03/25/09
My friends and I loved staying at the Girasol! The penthouse was very large and definitely accommodated our large number of people very well; perfect for what we needed. The beach was wonderful and we felt very lucky because it seemed that many beaches in that area were mostly rocks. As far as location: could not ask for better! We were thrilled that EVERYTHING worth going to was a 5minute walk or less w/ the exception of a couple clubs that were maybe ten. The condo was very laid back and the food and rather large drinks downstairs by the pool were very cheap and very good. Overall, all ten of us were very happy with our choice and would definitely do it again and recommend it to others.
