Cancun Compass Guest Intelligence

Mystery guest audits, run by people who already live here

Request a programme tailored to your property, guest profiles and priorities. Scope, timing, evidence requirements and costs are agreed before an audit begins.

Local cost base

No international flights or per diems. Short trips from within the state, so more audits for the same budget.

Relevant guest profiles

Programmes can be scoped around solo guests, couples, families, accessibility, dietary needs and selected markets.

Multilingual

English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese auditors, so you can test rate and service parity by language.

Agreed reporting schedule

Each proposal sets the delivery timing and report format before the programme begins.

Photo evidence

Where appropriate and lawful, the agreed report can include timestamped notes and supporting photos.

Named standouts

Every audit flags the staff who impressed, feeding directly into the Cancun Compass Staff Awards.

What we audit

One fixed framework, eight stages, scored the same way at every property so you can benchmark against your own past visits and against the market.

Stage 1
Pre-arrival

Website, booking path, rate accuracy, email response times and a recorded reservations call.

Stage 2
Arrival

Transfer handling, welcome, check-in speed, upsell pressure and room readiness against the booking.

Stage 3
The room

Cleanliness scored surface by surface, maintenance, amenities, safe, air conditioning, noise and Wi-Fi measured.

Stage 4
Food and drink

Every outlet used at least once. Buffet freshness, a la carte bookability, dietary handling, bar service speed.

Stage 5
Facilities

Pools, beach, spa, gym, kids club, entertainment, shade and lounger availability at peak.

Stage 6
Service recovery

One staged, reasonable issue. We score response time, ownership and resolution, not the failure itself.

Stage 7
Departure

Check-out, billing accuracy, luggage, late-checkout handling and the last impression.

Stage 8
Report

Scored report inside 7 days with photo and timestamp evidence, plus a prioritised fix list and named staff standouts.

Choose who stays

You pick the guest profile. A property that is superb for couples can be quietly awful for a single parent, and you will never see that in your own review data.

Solo travellers

Single supplements, safety, solo dining and how staff treat a guest with nobody to complain to.

3 profiles
Couples

Romance delivery, adults-only enforcement, dinner reservations and upgrade behaviour.

3 profiles
Families

Kids clubs, room configurations, baby kit, buffet timing and patience under pressure.

4 profiles
Groups and celebrations

Party programming, bar service speed, noise management and duty of care.

3 profiles
Mexican and regional guests

Whether domestic guests get the same service, rate and room stock as foreign guests.

4 profiles
Specialist audits

Accessibility, remote work, dietary handling, sustainability claims and complaint recovery.

Audit results are confidential. They never buy an award, and paying for an audit does not change how you rank on Cancun Compass. See our disclosure.
