Secrets Huatulco: amazing area

The area that we stayed in was wonderful cant wait to go back weather was perfect. Only complaint and not a real biggie was the wait staff had trouble taking our order not fully understanding what we asked for most often was the drink orders

Canto Del Sol: Good value

This resort has all the basics covered. It's clean, friendly staff, decent food, rooms are nice and well-maintained. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done at a reasonable price. The beach in PV is terrible however. Dark, rocky sand, polluted water and I got stung by a jellyfish. So if you only want pool-side action, it's fine, otherwise, stay on the East Coast.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Spectacular Resort

We stayed at Iberostar Hotel and Resorts in Puerto Vallarta Dec 4th through to Dec 11th and really enjoyed ourselves. The resort was very new and was very well kept up! Staff were very friendly and always there to assist you with anything we needed. We were questioned by staff several times during our stay whether our stay and our room was meeting our expectations and they were open to any suggestions for making anything better.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Just ok

Our kids (aged 6 & 8) had a lot of fun at the water park, kids club, the petting zoo, and exploring the whole resort and the adults found it a relaxing holiday as well, but I don't think we would come back. As soon as we come off the bus that transported us from the airport to the resort we were bombarded by a hotel worker 'Franklin'. At first we thought he was being helpful and offering us welcoming drinks, etc. But soon he was taking our information down and our 'welcome' was lasting an hour a [... read more]nd we hadn't eaten a good meal since breakfast (and it was now past supper). The last thing he did was request that each couple give him $10 to hold our spot for our breakfast and 'tour' the next day. This was the final clue to us that it wasn't a welcoming it was a timeshare deal. It made us mad that they weren't upfront with what they were actually doing and that they catch you at your most vulnerable time- when you barely have your feet on their grounds. In general their sales pitch for their timeshare deal was WAY too pushy. We ended up not going on the tour on our second day and Franklin harassed us every day he saw us in he lobby about booking another spot with him. He made it so we avoided going to the lobby. We found the other guests at the resort to be extremely rude- we've never experienced this at any other resort we have visited. I know his isn't the resort's fault but it did have a big impact on our holiday. There is no bottled water or straws at the resort because they are being Eco friendly. There are water coolers everywhere including your rooms but it is all warm water. Luckily we had empty water bottles with us that we filled from the water cooler and placed in the fridge. The beach at this resort leaves a lot to be desired. Our kids refused to go in the water and only played in the waves that came onto the beach. Without water shoes you couldn't comfortably walk in the ocean. By the end of our eight day stay we were tired of eating at the buffets. Because you are limited in how many times you east at the restaurants you can end up eating at the buffets three times a day. This is where the other guests were the most rude. The food at the buffets are practically the same every day - it would be nice to have a different choice now and again. Our last night at the resort we were shocked to find a baby tarantula in our room - I am not exaggerating! It was two inches in diameter!! The same night the other couple we were with had a mouse in their room at about 3:00am. It wasn't like they just found it running around in their room, it was eating crackers under the pillows they were sleeping on. All I can say is Thank god this excitement was on our last night there. The employees at the resort for the most part were great! Christina, the lady who cleaned our room was great!

Riu Caribe Cancun: Very satisfied with the resort

Riu resorts have a good standard and would recommend. The room, food, service, beach was all great. I had to wait much to long to be transported to the hotel because we had to wait for another not organizes couple

Canto Del Sol: Awesome people!

The people were amazing and went out of their way to help you. I had troubles with my door lock, both inside and out, as well as with my safe, but everything was fixed very promptly. One of the maintenance men had to even jump from a neighbouring balcony! My daughter and I will be going back!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great all-around resort

We liked everything about this resort. The buffet food was very good, while the taco restaurant and creperie in the mall area were fantastic and a daily treat. The pool is huge and always a shaded place to relax. It's a bit chilly but great for a cool off from the hot sun. The beach was the highlight, tons of shaded huts to sit under. Turquoise water, mostly sandy bottom (watch out for the few rocks), and nice big waves to play in. We spent most of our time here. Entertainment was really good [... read more] too, with the MC Edu running the show most nights. Overall great value and great location 30 minutes from Cancun.

Plaza Pelicanos Grand: Simply Ok

Amazing staff , food was basic except for breakfast which was very good, Very clean rooms, pool was small but nice. Hotel occupied by mostly locals from Guadalajara.. Recommend this hotel IF you get a great deal NO GUACAMOLE ........

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Family Resort!

The resort is impeccably maintained and the pools are large and child friendly. The water park is amazing. There is a good variety of dining options and the food is above average. The house red wine is very good quality. The entertainment is geared to all age groups. This resort is very good value and I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Decent hotel, great people.

Barcelo was pretty sleepy and lacked any on ground night life. also no swim up bar. The staff made it a great week - you have to join Rubi, Kenia, Angel, and Sebastian - they'll take great care of you. Also thanks to Natalie from Tripcentral for coordinating our unique trip. everything was perfect!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: staff excellent and complex wonderful

I have been there four times and each and every time was better than the last I have taken people thete and recommended to everyone The staff go out of their way to make sure you are well looked after Frendly clean and always happy to mske sure you have a great experience Lots of pools and restaurants

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Amazing resort.

The hotel was beautiful,clean and the staff was always there to help. The pool was a little cold for my liking but everyone else thought it to be refreshing.would recomment it for a R&R.great value for your money.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Great vacation

Awesome food, you must go see Roman at the little colourful Mexican diner upstairs, his service is simply extraordinary. Avoid the Steak House at all costs however. Italian is great too! Cleanliness overall was really good, from bathrooms to rooms to pools. it was a great holiday, only downside is the service at the reception desk, employees have no clue how to manage issues and the manager I spoke with regarding a malfunction of our room key was sooooooo arrogant and didn't care at all our ke [... read more]ycards stopped working 3 times over the stay (during one of these occurrences my 3 yo daughter was sick outside our room... major inconvenience that she didn't even care to address)

Riu Santa Fe: Great resort

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riu and were impressed with the friendliness of the staff and and the lovely grounds. There was a good selection/variety of different foods and it was nice to eat at the speciality restaurants. The only issues we had were that the beds were really hard and there could have been a better selection of red wine!

Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa: Another great trip to the Mayan Riviera!

This was our first time at the NOW Sapphire and we had a nice trip. The weather at the beginning of Dec is always hit and miss, nut even when it rained, the lobby bar had entertainment and great bar service! The rooms were nicely equipped, tipping your maid service goes a long way. The restaurants were all good, the food is nicely presented and plentiful. Try and go to the hibachi show at the Lemongrass. Very entertaining! The preferred lounge was a nice touch. Yummy snacks and treats. You could [... read more] walk forever along the beach, yes there is seaweed but nothing you couldn't get around. Lots of chairs, palapas and towels. Never had a problem finding somewhere to sit. But be aware, the preferred pool has limited seating and Bali beds, and you must reserve them the day before. And don't be late claiming them or they give them away (trust me). Overall, we had a nice time at this resort. It's big enough to find things to do with plenty of choices for activities, food and bars. But it's also small enough to get around without issue.

Allegro Cozumel: amazing resort

probably best all inclusive resort we've ever stayed at ( and we've done many over the years). From Mimi and Ivan at the front desk check in to the open to the stars pizza and taco late nite restaurant upstairs with Francisco making the specialized coffee. Daytime activities with daily snorkeling from the beautiful beach, and Kayaks and sailing. The secondary highway for access to resorts only traffic was a walkers dream!!! Resort grounds and evening roosting of the birds absolute paradise. The  [... read more]quiet pool separate from the activity pool is like lounging in an all day spa. Go again in a heart beat!!

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: the Best resort

The location of everything was the best, and you couldn't get better service. The staff couldn't do enough. It was close to everything great walks on the beach. Clean the rooms were in perfect condition, the Maids were fantastic. Lots of different foods, to choose from , breakfast lunch and dinner. Location for walking into town, and other restaurant, never needed a cab. would go back in a second with out hesitation.

Ocean Maya Royale: Okay Resort

This resort was okay but I wouldn't rush back to it unless it was a real great deal; the grounds were beautiful, the public areas were also very nice and the rooms were beautiful but the food left me a little disappointed, the food was always cold and the only time I could get a hot meal was at the a la carte or the pasta station. Breakfast was not anything that was appealing to me, I like to make a bacon sandwich but the bacon wasn't cooked it was terrible and the days it was crisp you couldn't [... read more] bite into it. The pillows in the rooms were terrible. We travelled there in late November 2014 and maybe it was the time of year but we were mostly disappointed in the beach!! The water was so brown that some days I wouldn't even swim in it.

Posada Real Los Cabos: Cute and relaxing!

The courtyard was a cute little desert with some streams and fountains that was very well maintained. The food was VERY GOOD although not the biggest selection. The pool was nice although we spent ALL our time in the AMAZING ocean! The waves were SO fun and you can see jumping manta-rays and fish a lot! The walls are quite thin but it wasn't too but since no one was up too late, probably because the bars close at 11:30pm. Not a young, partying resort.

Grand Palladium Riviera Resort And Spa: Great times!

Great service throughout the entire trip. Food was great. Drinks were great. Rooms were spectacular and always clean. Great layout for the resort. It was at full capacity approx 8500 -9000 people on the resort and it felt like no one was there because of the way the resort was designed. This was our second time back to the resort and we enjoyed it as much as the first and will probably go back again. Honestly, we had nothing negative to say hence probably go back again.
