Las Brisas Ixtapa: Las Brisas Ixtapa

The Las Brisas Ixtapa was very nice but it was interesting that even though we paid for all inclusive they did things much differently than we were used to for all inclusive. You only had buffets for breakfast every day and Saturday and Monday nights. Other than that you ordered off a menu. You didn't wear a wrist band and had to sign a chit for everything you ordered. There were items on the menu that you had to pay extra for. In the A la Carte restaurants there were many items not included in  [... read more]"the plan"! We had to pay cash for lunch before we left as you get lunch the day you arrive and only breakfast on the day you leave. This does not make much sense since we didn't get in and settled in time for lunch when arrived and had to wait until 2pm to be picked up to go to the airport. The staff was awesome and meals were good. The other thing is this hotel has feather pillows and feather ticks on the bed. Not so good if you are allergic to feathers. The West Jet rep we had down there was reasonably helpful but told us we should have been able to have lunch before we left. All in all it was a good place to stay.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Only two complaints

Resort was exceptional We were given an upgrade to get into the building we wanted. Food was very good. Ocean and beach were beautiful. Pool was exceptional. Entertainment was mostly very good. Wildlife was wonderful Negative. Air Canada Vacations would not accept our $100prepaid card. Julie Renaud from Air Transat Vacations got it approved for us. The hotel did not send the transport to get us and the luggage even though we had booked it the day before. We were the last on the bus to the airpor [... read more]t.

Secrets Huatulco: Close to 5 Star but not quite!

This was our second stay at Secrets and the service, food and location are top-notch. However, for the second time in two years the shortage of palapas , umbrellas and shade is a nightmare with guests booking space at 6am on a supposed relaxing holiday. Bottomline-we won't be back until they add shade via more palaces and umbrellas. The 30 minute reservation rule is unforced and impractical since it takes more than 30 minutes to go sailing, eat breakfast or whatever. We saw "reserved" spots vaca [... read more]nt the whole day by folk who had either left or changed their minds - the beach staff need to be more proactive in spotting this and bottomline - more shade. Having to rush down before sunrise to get a spot is not a holiday!

Canto Del Sol: Amazing resort

I have no complaints. It was a friendly and clean resort. Jorge and Allen did a great job with the activities. The food was excellent at the specialty restaurants. The staff were very good. I would recommend this resort.

Posada Real Los Cabos: A wonderful little resort!

This is our second visit to this great little resort and once again it did not disappoint. The staff is amazing and always friendly and playful. Benito at the pool bar is absolutely amazing and never lets a drink run dry. Jesus is also wonderful and informative. We will look forward to a return visit! All of the staff is wonderful and the rooms well maintained by the maids. Love this little gem!

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Most enjoyable vacation

I was pleasantly surprised by this resort. Classed as a 3-star, the grounds, service, facilities, entertainment and food all exceeded my expectations. The simple, tidy room lacked an ocean view, but little time was spent there. Conveniently close to the beach, restaurant and bar, apart from the sound of waves, it was relatively quiet. I liked the yoga and zumba classes and bicycles offered by the resort and the always friendly and helpful staff. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful resort

We just finished telling our daughter and her friends about the resort. It was one of the best experiences we have had. The bus service, hotel, food, room, pool, everything was amazing, staff. Thank you for your services. It was a dream worth waiting for, our first honeymoon experience, although we didn't share this with anyone. My husband and I have been married 27 years, this was the first honeymoon we had. We most definitely are thinking of going back some day.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Beautiful Resort!!!!

The resort was beautiful! The food and staff were excellent!! The beach is very choppy and stoney, as is expected in a bay, but there were always plenty of comfortable lounge chairs available by the pool. The only negative comments ~ We were disappointed in how we were treated with our a la carte reservation, and were told restaurants were booked up though they were never full and found out too late you could just show up for a table without reservations. Also we found it very unusual that when  [... read more]booking our excursion they did not include transportation and we had to cover the cost of our own taxi to and from?? This we have NEVER run into before!

Barcelo Karmina: Nice resort

Excellent rooms, food was great, service was great. Check in was terrible. Not much of a beach. The golf balls flying into the swim area from the golfers was extremely dangerous and scary. Should have been free wifi somewhere in hotel for those of us who only wanted to contact home 2-3 times per week.

Riu Santa Fe: Good

The resort was very clean, but there was no waiters around the pool to take your drink borders.There was a lot of flys at the indoor restaurants and at the pools, we covered our food with napkins and our drinks with a napkin as well as a hair elastic. we had a great time... And would definiatly go again!

Barcelo Karmina: Awesome resort!

Rooms were huge! Very clean. The beds were a little hard but actually very comfortable! Amazing amount of pools and areas. We were still finding different areas the day before we left! Food was very good with lots of variety. Would definitely come back!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Amazing resort

We just came back from a week in Iberostar Paraiso Beach in Mexico first the rooms were really nice beds great and the maid did and excellent job we had room 3244 top floor and when you go outside if you go out back way you just walk few steps to the pool and poolside bar they organize activities everyday and shows every night. The food was excellent and service too the ala carte resturants we tried Japanese, steakhouse and Mediterranean very good, snack bars on beach and bar of course -friendly [... read more] staff always willing to help we had been to Mayan before so we didn't do tours we were down for a rest so it was nice to relax we enjoyed our stay very much and 30 deg every day who could ask for more.. My only disappointment was that we could only use the del Mar iberostar next door and I wanted to use the lazy river at Lindo iberostar since I can't swim and you can't use their pool but otherwise great ocean just beautiful can't wait to go back.

Secrets Huatulco: Highly recommended resort !

Beautiful resort, fabulous pools, service staff are second to none! One thing to keep in mind is the over use of salt in all the food you serve. I recommend your chief allow the guest to salt their own food to taste. A large part of your guest are over 40 and salt is a big concern. Our sunwing rep. gave us very little info regarding your wonderful facilities. Ex. the wonderful coffee bar (we found it by accident on our 3rd day) , or that you had an activities screen and that menus where availabl [... read more]e to view. (that little service was a very nice touch!!!) When you only have a week, this info is important. If possible a little more shade would be helpful around the activity centre and beach area.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Fantastic Time!

Resort was at max capacity and the staff could still manage to please everyone. Rooms were very nice, modern look, everything worked, free wifi in the room. We went to the beach most days there is always carts available to take you where you need to go, we also never had a single dinner in the buffet we ate in the a la cartes every night, booking was tight but they managed. It is a long drive from the airport but its all along one highway so the transfer is relatively painless. Beach staff are g [... read more]reat there is a section strictly for the guests at the sian kaan and drink service is available. Would definitely go again!

Riu Palace Mexico: Beautiful Resort - Medium Food

The resort was beautiful. The beach was gorgeous. There was a fair amount of cigarette buds on the beach which was pretty gross, and a bit of garbage too from people not cleaning up after themselves. I didnt like our room very much, only because it was right beside the theater so on the night we went to bed early, we couldn't sleep cause there was constantly loud music. The room was also very moist. Clothes that were dry, became damp and nothing every dried unless you put it outside. The food wa [... read more]sn't the greatest either. There was alot to choose from but nothing tasted good.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Great Resort!

We have no complaints about this resort. Staff we're great and we're right on top of things. My only personal preference was I prefer music by the pools and in the restaurants. Have one pool be the quiet pool. None of the pools we went to had any music. Besides that it was lovely!

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Amazing honeymoon !!!

We absolutely love this resort! We just cane back from a 1 week honeymoon and could not be more thrilled. As mentioned previously you should bring water shoes as the beach has pieces of coral in it. ...which means amazing snorkeling! The food for a 5 star was not top notch compared to riu or bahia principe however the resort itself made up for it. Also make sure that you visit the spa! Wow! Absolutely amazing. Please note that they will try selling you a membership. We did sign up for the member [... read more]ship which has many added perks.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Wonderful Resort

Right on the beach which is a must. Colorful colonial style architecture and beautiful grounds. All open air restaurants which I like. Lots of friendly staff and efficiently run. Ocean view rooms in building one were rather small but clean and beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed having the sliding doors open all night. There were no privacy walls between balconies but we had nice chats with our neighbors. The nightly dance revues were really good and the best I've seen in my all inclusive resort [... read more] travels. The hotel is larger than I like and there were lots of guests. One had to get to the beach really early to claim a spot. Beach and surf were great.

Riu Tequila: Good value resort with some limitations.

Clean, efficient resort with charming Mexican decor. It has great food, attentive staff and good overall value. It is co-located with a few other Riu resorts where you have limited use of facilities. The pool area is somewhat small and not very deep but is fine if you just want to cool down after lounging in the sun for a while. The beach is probably 400 to 500 metres away, which means a hike of 10 mins or more. This was a bit of a stretch for senior citizens like ourselves. Although, there is a [... read more] small golf cart "trolly" to ferry people back and forth at selected times during the day we never used it once over a 9 day stay because it never seemed to fit our schedule. One irritant for us was the WIFI set up which only allowed access for 90 continuous minutes once a day in the (at times) very noisy lobby. This was very inconvenient, so to keep contact with our family we many times had to walk minutes down the street and sit outside the Starbuck to use there WIFI signal.. In contrast the Riu Playacar and Riu Yucatan which were close by allowed their guests 24 hour WIFI from several areas on their property

Sun Palace Hotel: Great location and amenities

Beautiful beach with very comfy beach beds, room was attractively decorated, food was good, resort credits were a bonus, staff were very accommodating and happy to provide great service. Would rather have a sitting/lounging area instead of the large in-room Jacuzzi in the middle of the room, and don't love the open concept bathroom. Had a concierge level room with a larger balcony, many of the concierge level rooms only have a small balcony with 2 chairs. Italian restaurant was our favourite, di [... read more]sappointed by the Mexican restaurant. Art of Wine event was wonderful. Enjoyed a massage, manicure and seaweed wrap at the spa. Great quiet adults only resort. Hotel was full but never seemed too crowded.
