We had a great holiday at the Mexicana. The rooms in the hotel were spotless and to our suprise cleaned every day including new bedding and towels.
The breakfast was ok with plently of choice from fresh eggs and omelete's, salad, pancakes, cold meats, cereal and a little fruit. We normally stuck to the eggs and toast but the hotel tried to cater for all nationalities.
The staff were really friendly and always seemed to be on hand if you needed them.
The location was ideal for us and was only a short taxi ride into Naama Bay (Don't pay anymore that 20 or 25le).
We didn't use the hotel bus as the 1st one into Naama Bay was at 9pm. We knew before hand that there was no entertainment so this didn't bother us. They did have some entertainment on Monday nights and there was always a DJ on around the main pool during the day.
Whilst we were there it was my girlfriends 21st birthday and the hotel even brought her a birthday cake to our room which was a nice touch.
A word of warning though... the Italian restuarant at the front of the hotel was awful, everyone who ate there said the same so I would avoid this and go into Naama Bay.
The Pool bar had really nice pizza's if you got hungry in the afternoon. I wouldn't recommend All Inclusive here though - according to people who were there they didn't rate it highly as it was repetative and they didn't seem to grasp the all inclusive concept.

This is the second time we have stayed at the Mexicana and will definately be returning.
Very chilled and relaxed atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff.
The spacious rooms are spotless and are cleaned daily.
The pool with swim up bar is perfect for cooling off, plenty of sunbeds. Pool side massage well worth a visit.

My wife and I stayed in a one bedroom apartment on B&B basis. We requested, and got, a pool view, upper floor apartment (hotel and apts are all only two floors but we still wanted an upper one). There are two pools, a smaller one which is surrounded by the Apts. and a large free form pool where the hotel rooms are situated and the 'pool bar' and main restaurant where breakfast and main meals are served.
Each pool is only a couple of minutes apart, through the beauitful gardens, which are very well maintained. The whole place is spotlessly clean and plent of sunbeds plus free towels for pool or beach use.
The apartment was clean, well furnished, large fridge and individual air conditioning in the bedroom and living room. Bathroom (shower only),was basic but clean. Room was cleaned daily and fresh towels, and bedding changed regularly. TV with multi channels, and plenty of electric sockets. Large balcony with table and chairs.
Breakfast was very nice and we never had to queue, there was the same things each day, but ample choice for a good breakfast, No 'English Breakfast' available, other than fried eggs or omeletes (as many as you wanted!), plus fresh bread, unlimited tea or coffee. staff were very friendly and efficient, with plates etc cleared away quickly. You can eat inside (cooler) or on the terrace by the large pool.
The hotel has four restaurants, the main buffet restaurant, an Eygptian, a small 'Steak House' and a newly opened Italian, both next to the reception area.
There is a pleasant terrace bar just beyond the reception, and a pool bar (at large pool), with "swim up" seats one one side, this bar also serves snacks, pizzas, burgers etc, all very nice and quite cheap (

Rooms were cleaned every day and staff were very friendly sometimes over friendly to our daughter(15) but in the main felt very safe.
The wine was very good and there was always red, rose and white with your meals. Being all inclusive we thought that everything would be included but snacks were not and ice creams were not. Also it ended at 11 or 12 at night.
There was no evening entertainment, but round the pool through the day there was music and massage (payable).
Overall we found the hotel to be clean, friendly and the food was good with a good selection.

We stayed one week in the Mexicana Hotel on B&B. The food was buffet style with a good choice for breakfast.
The hotel was very clean and staff friendly and helpful.
Hotel was very quiet, lot of sunbeds available around pool.
Bedrooms were large and kept very clean.
Swimming pools were fab, but one a bit cold the other heated. Pool bar had excellant pizza's and burgers, very cheap and good.
Taxis into Naama Bay cost about

This was a late deal booked via the internet and we had a wonderful time.
The hotel was very nice and clean and the staff were very friendly. Could not ask for more.
I would return to this hotel and resort.
Breakfast was a little hit and miss but the pool bar was excellent value for money and good quality.
It's a short free bus ride from Naama bay and I would say go.

Nicely kept hotel. Food was alright. Staff are freindly. Absolutely no entertainment. Beaches were poor, more hassle on the beach than in the resorts.
Don't go.
Don't go.
