Majestic Mirage Costa Mujeres Trip Review
TLDR:
Absolutely worth the money. I wouldn’t be surprised if this place is in the top 20% of “Bang for Your Buck” Resorts given our context of who we are and what we enjoy.
Definitely not a party place. Population is older crowd and parents w/teenagers and kids. Very minimal younger couples with no kids.
Higher occupancy could yield trouble with access to cabanas, seats, by the pools and beach. Restaurants definitely could be a pain when higher occupancy.
Context: 30 Years Old Introverted Couple. Don’t like large crowds and don’t drink alcohol. I have enough things I get addicted to and don’t want to add alcohol to that list lol Just love to relax without having to think about much hence AIs. Resort Priorities: 1) Room, 2) Food, 3) Pool.
Occupancy (Per Butler, Receptionist): 60%-70%ish
Weather: Perfect 72-83 F everyday. No rain. Minimal Sargassum.
Price: $2369.60 for 5 nights (4/5-4/10)
Room: Base - Mirage Club One Bedroom Suite Outdoor Jacuzzi 18+. All rooms are suite/club level.
Previous Resorts We’ve Been: 1) Excellence Plqya Mujeres, 2) Grand Velas Los Cabos, 3) Xcaret Arte.
Pros:
Rooms - Large, Spacious, Clean, 1.5 Bath, Decent Sound Proofing.
Value - Amazing for what you get..
Infrastructure - Opened 12/2025 so feels clean and new.
Lounges - Multiple lounges for more options
Quiet - Adult side is quiet. Resort is basically mirrored and split in half with the family side on the left, the adult side on the ride. There’s a wooden walkway at the beach leading to majestic elegance. Way busier when we went to look.
Neutral:
Food - Average. Slightly below Excellence which was one of the downsides of our stay there. But considering the price, it’s good. Also, food at these resorts tend to be less salty than the US. But this resort definitely is the closest food we’ve had in saltiness to the US.
English Proficiency - Large variance in English proficiency, even for customer facing staff, but not too bad. Likely due to a lot of new hires.
Swimming Pools - There’s 4 pools, 2 for families (including main), 2 for adults. Main pool closed all day for a day because some kid pooped in it.
Butler - Not sure what the need really is. Reservations for the 2 required restaurants can be done on the app by yourself. No turn down service. They forward an agenda of activities for the day. That’s about it.
Activities - Resort-common. Pool group stuff, some shows, etc. nothing special, would have been fun if there was some arts & crafts like hats, painting, etc.
Cons:
Restaurant Wait Times - Expect 1.5 - 2 Hours for Dinner. 20 minutes to order drink, then another 20 minutes to take order. Saw multiple people walk around trying to find their servers during the meal. Staffing seems to be a big issue at restaurants.
Infrastructure - The resort is somehow already showing its age at 5 months old. Wall cracks, chips, paint, water marked floors everywhere. Not sure how it’s going to look in a few years when it already feels a few years old.
Pool Towels - 4 Main Pools, 2 Pickup Stations. How is there not 4 Pickup Stations. It feels like common sense.
Bakery/Cafe - Breads, pastries, coffees. Lot of variety and looks pretty but taste definitely falls short.
Housekeeping - They don’t restock amenities unless you specifically ask. Food, drinks, shampoos, etc.
