Alessandra Gonzalez is absolutely incredible. Her service is top-notch, and she genuinely cares about her clients. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. An amazing experience from start to finish!

Experience Summary – Le Blanc Cancún First, credit where it is due. The New Year’s Eve white party on the beach was exceptionally well executed—truly beautiful and memorable. The Japanese and French restaurant - excellent. We also still have one specialty restaurants remaining, which we are looking forward to. That said, several aspects of this stay have fallen short of expectations—particularly given Le Blanc’s pricing and its long-standing reputation for service excellence. This is at least my fifth visit, and compared to prior stays, the overall service experience feels meaningfully diminished—by roughly 30% across the board. Food & Beverage The buffet is fine, but noticeably below the level I recall from previous visits. In the past, the buffet was a differentiator; currently, it feels average relative to comparable luxury resorts. At times, the resort appears understaffed. At the International Café, dishes routinely accumulate before being cleared. One afternoon at the back pool, there was no dedicated waitstaff present. The bartender was simultaneously tending bar and serving guests. That should not occur at this tier of resort. This is not a staff issue—it is a resourcing and execution issue. Sales Presentation / Membership We attended the sales presentation with an open mind. My wife and I are experienced, frequent travelers and were genuinely interested to evaluate whether there was a compelling value proposition—particularly related to Turks & Caicos. Quite simply, the numbers do not work. While affordability is not the issue, the presentation failed to demonstrate clear, tangible value at any level. The structure and substance of the presentation require significant refinement. I would strongly recommend reviewing how competitors such as Grand Velas position their offering. Their approach is coherent, logical, and value-driven. This presentation was not. Additionally, the sales representative’s tone came across as condescending and snarky. Regardless of frustration, that demeanor is unacceptable and detracts materially from the overall guest experience. Operational Issues I paid a premium specifically for a beach vacation. As of day three, I have still not been able to lie on the beach due to a persistent shortage of chairs. This occurred multiple days in a row. That is NOT acceptable under any circumstances at a resort of this caliber. Beach access is a core part of the value proposition and must be addressed immediately. Spa services are priced at a premium, which is reasonable—however, basic infrastructure must function properly. Most lockers in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms do not lock. That should never happen. Finally, being asked about food allergies every single time we sit down—multiple times per day, over several consecutive days—is unnecessary and frankly irritating. There needs to be a more elegant system to capture and retain guest preferences once they are established. Closing Le Blanc does many things well. Historically, service execution has been the brand’s defining advantage. However, leadership in luxury hospitality requires relentless attention to detail. At this price point, expectations are uncompromising. Core elements—staffing, beach access, infrastructure, and guest interaction—must operate flawlessly. There is a strong foundation here, but meaningful operational and service-level improvements are necessary to maintain Le Blanc’s position at the top of the luxury market. We’ve always loved Le Blanc, but recent shortcomings would find me exploring Four Seasons, Ritz, St Regis, etc.. The biggest kicker , no enough chairs for beach unless we paid 500$ for cabana which we ultimately ended up doing

We are visiting from NYC for long weekend. The room was nice and the beach was nice. The staff are professional and helpful as you’d expect for an AI in Cancun. The food is mediocre. The drinks are weak. The bread is stale. The sushi rice is still raw at Yuma. It is also quite frustrating that despite rooms at $2k per night, there are not enough beach chairs for the occupants. Unless you go to the beach at 630am to claim a chair or pay $600 for a cabana, you will be sitting in the sand. Prepare to be upsold on everything as soon as you enter the property. There are so many excellent AI in Cancun with a better value proposition at this premier tier. Previously had much better experience at xcaret arte for half the rate.

Rooms were great, but what really made the experience special was the quality and variety of the food offered as well as the professional and devotion of the staff to making the stay unforgettable. Cannot recommend Le Blanc highly enough.

Love the staff at Leblanc, They go above and beyond to make your stay special. They have five wonderful restaurants Italian Asian French Mexican steakhouse and a morning and afternoon buffet. The entertainment in the lobby bar. There's also some around the pool. They have the quiet pool where you could do morning exercises. Healthy shots. The beach is beautiful with its cabanas.
