Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Beautiful resort

this hotel is quite big, but it offers a lot. Dining in the buffet resturant is amazing, the 24 hrs snack bars are convinient, pools and beaches very nice - great place for a holiday. Nice and big suites, too. Great service and very friendly staff!

Hotel Castillo Huatulco: Great central location

Location - excellent if you want to be in town! We were a short walk to the marina and Santa Cruz beach and shops and many restaurants. About a 15 minute walk into La Crucecita. Shuttle bus every half hour to take you to their beach club on Chahue beach, although it is walkable but about a 10 minute walk. We booked this hotel mostly for its central location. Felt very safe walking about in the area and in the hotel. Beaches - beach club is on Chahue beach - there was a red flag up the whole week [... read more] that we were there, but had no problem getting in and out of water. Not great for little kids or non-swimmers - steep sloped entrance and goes deep quick - so some undercurrent although there was a small beach on the eastern side of the beach that was much calmer but well away from the beach club. Santa Cruz beach and La Arrocito are much better for kids. La Entrega and La Arrocito are both great for snorkelling and a short cab ride away. Food - reasonable choice of local dishes, quality was good. Fruit juices seemed a little watered down. Great to have an egg and omelet station! Beer and wine was good. Cocktails and mixed drinks were lighter on the alcohol, but that was preferred by me. Coffee was good. Rooms - simple and clean. No conditioner supplied - bring your own if you use this. Soap and shampoo supplied. Room safe worked fine, but was on the smaller size - did not fit our laptops. Security lock on door. Staff was friendly and helpful and most spoke reasonable english. Pool area - clean and comfortable - plenty of chairs.

El Dorado Royale: Amazing trip

I love this place...the food is over the top...even the room service is great at any time of the day....staff are exstreamly polite, always saying hello..the only person that was rude was a hostist in the Italian resturant by the lobby...the pools were great...if I would criticize anything it would be the ocean with the cement blocks and large black bags....I will be coming back

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great time

This is a big resort, but easy to get around. The trolleys will take you anywhere you need to go. You may have to relax and wait a minute, but that is what vacations are for. The food was great...something for everyone. The staff are extremely, helpful and friendly. The grounds are very well kept. Lots of chairs on the beach. I recommend this resort and may actually go back, since there were parts of the resort I did not have time to experience.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Quiet and relaxing resort:)

Everything was so easy to walk to compared to the Sunset and Riviera resorts. To go out in the water at beach you must wear shoes but you can walk long distances in either direction. The room was very uninviting and super impractical but we weren't there for the room. Just one mirror and no privacy. Big tub in the middle of the room. Made no sense to me. Separate "room" for toilet. Such a crazy waste of space. Drinks and food were the norm nothing really over the top. Staff were most hospitable.

Barcelo Karmina: beautiful resort

The hotel is amazing ...food was great ..very clean and the service was excellent...as for the disco we would go every night and dance till it closed ...the entertenment in the evening was also very nice ...thx for the wonderful week ..looking forward to seeing this resort again.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great Resort for the Entertainment

We stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Beach Resort on the Maya Riviera Novembe 12 to 20/14. We booked an all inclusive package which included 3 a-la-cartes. The free shuttle with our package was a short 15-20 minute drive south of Cancun, with Playa Del Carmen a 15 minute ride further south of the resort. The resort grounds were beautiful and the pook was huge with waterfalls, bridges across, winding and about 6 apartment block in length. There were about 40-50 grass canapies with 2 custioned loung [... read more]ers under each, many swinging canopied beds which you had to get to early and no shortage of seating. You cannot see the ocean from the pool area which is unfortunate, although the beach once again has at least 100 loungers and lots with canopies for shade. The entertainment team was at the pool every day, doing water exercises and then pool games and teaching pool patrons many different types of line dances. This fun and always smiling entertainment team also participated in some of the nightly entertainment and after the nightly show, about seven of the team would encourage showgoers to join them in more line dancing on the dance floor. The nightly entertainment was excellent with acrobatics, high wire acts, hilarious show with audience members participating, professional dancers. The steak a-la-carte was rubbery and grizzly. The Italian raviloli was doughy, the cannelloni good. The Japenese was well worth the show cooking, definitely recommend. The main smorg was huge with great selection of salad, fruits, veggies, meats, seafood, suchi and deserts with a smaller smorg near the pool and beach. We did try the Mediteranean or Brazilian as used up all of our a-la-cartes. Tip - Pay the waiter at a-la-carte for reservation and you will likely get table. Next trip we will book an Iberostar resort likely on beach in Cancun just for convenience of shopping and airport. Excellent service at all restaurants/smorgs/bars, staff always appreciative of our tips and always smiling no matter who you were. We eat out alot and have never had such excellent service at a resort/restaurant. Our tv stopped working the night before we departed and I called front desk. Within 10 minutes a worker came and checked tv, took it out of room and replaced it in another 10 minutes, even though most resorts likely would not have seeing as we were checking out the following day. We stayed at the Melia in Puerta Vallarta 2 years ago and the food choice, staff friendlines s and entertainment were not even comparable to the Iberostar Paraiso Beach. The room was okay, except for the extremely bad ceiling florescent lighting which shone a shadow over you head. As we had at the Medlia in Puerta Vallarta, there were very tiny bugs on the dresser (you have to look at one spot for a few seconds to notice them moving) so we spent some time killing those and wouldn't dare leave food on it. We kept chips, etc. in the fridge which was well stocked with beer and an assortment of pop and water bottles (large one on counter for your coffee machine). B. Pich Alberta, Canada

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: so so hotel and beach

the hotel just so so, its beach is not good, too many stones, which injured my feet. On the beach there is not much activity. So the peoples just lie on the chair for sunbath to get the color. their room, service and food just general.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Great Resort

Great resort with amazing amenities. Our room was spacious and clean, however our beds were very uncomfortable. The resort grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Food at the buffets were good, however staff had a hard time keeping up with the amount of guests dining. The a la cartes were amazing, especially the Japanese. The lazy river, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor are a great added touch to the resort. The staff at the resort were amazing.Our Concierge, Manuel was very helpful through [... read more]out our stay. And Angel, at the Lobby bar was the best bar tender ever.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Love this place!

I have been to this resort twice now and will definitely be going back! I love the staff who accommodate your every request and make your vacation experience amazing! The location is excellent and the weather is perfect.

Catalonia Yucatan: Beautiful Place

All the Restaurants were superb; the food was delicious The Restaurants and Resort itself was kept in immaculate condition.. The Service was great, the Staff were friendly and hard -working - We were treated like Kings and Queens, staff was always happy to help us in any way possible....

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Beautiful,Immaculate Resort

We thought the Iberostar was absolutely lovely with many beautiful birds,a long, well shaped pool, immaculate grounds and rooms and very good food as well. We did find the front desk person lacking in any warmth or attention to us upon our arrival..He did not look us directly but continued shuffling papers,trying to deal with 3 couples at once and made no pleasant, friendly attempts at welcome. It was a disappointing first impression. However the rest of the staff made up for that in their frien [... read more]dliness, attempts to please,remembering our names, etc..Special congratulations to the entertainment staff who were amazing. We were also impressed with the welcome and friendliness of the Iberostar Cozumel staff.as wespent a day there Back at the main Iberostar we enjoyed walking around this huge property, eating in various a la cartes and taking advantage of the many activities offered. The beach was a bit windy that week but we enjoyed long walks and getting a swim in the waves.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Beautiful Resort

This resort is beautiful with very well maintained grounds and a wide and very tasty selection of foods in the many alacarte restaurants..The two downfalls to this resort was the lengthy check in process and the amount of walking involved to get anywhere in the resort...

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Relaxing, Friendly, Variety of Activities On Site

We had a very enjoyable time at this resort and are considering going back with family (Grandchildren etc.). Only minor things were exchanging money and would suggest more fresh vegetables to choose from (i.e. fresh fruit was excellent). Also found Trip Central an easy and thorough business to book this trip.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: great beach

A great resort. Excellent service and food. I appreciated the fact there were covered walkways so even when there was rain at night we were able to go to restaurants without getting wet! Also there were lots of chairs on the beach so there were no towel game being played.

Temptation Resort & Spa: Fantastic holiday

The hotel itself is in need of an upgrade and renovations. It is kept very clean. The staff for the most part are very friendly. It's the guests that make me want to return. Each time i have gone i have met wonderful open minded people. This trip i found way to many single guys!!! And not enough couples.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Treated like royality

Best vacation ever would love to go back! Food service rooms and beach/pools were out if this world Want to return anytime I can, as this place was more than I could have ever expected. The room service was an extra special treat too

Grand Palladium Colonial: Great Resort

We travelled with our daughter, son in law & 2 grandchildren(ages 3yrs & 6 months). The grounds of this resort are stunning and extremely clean. The majority of the rooms have been renovated,and were sparkling clean as well. Although we never made it to the a la carts , they were always full, so the food must have been good. We dined at the buffets due to the grandkids as it was easiest for us and we have no complaints there. They served different dishes each night and everything we had was deli [... read more]cious. The staff are very attentive and friendly. This is a great vacation hotel for families with kids as there is so much for them to do. We thought our grandson (3years old) would like the kiddie play area & pool the best (which he did) but he loved the beach even more. I would highly recommend this hotel ,but would WE go back? Not on our own as I feel it was more for families....as it was a very busy hotel even in the off season (we travelled Nov 19-26/2014) The staff are also accommodating , as our kids changed buildings after asking, as they were still doing renovations in the building we were in (Bldg 20), and the noise was a little loud when she took the kids for an afternoon nap. Any building is great and there is covered walking area in case it rains which leads to all of the buildings. Only negative is the hour and a half bus ride. Book it and enjoy! :)

Moon Palace Cancun: Nice place for relaxation. Good srevices

A large variety of possibilities: bars, restaurants (both inside and outside) great pools and nice clean beach. Very helpful personnel. Excellent place for relaxing vacation as well as good facilities for business meetings

Riu Santa Fe: Great place to go!

This hotel had great views, great staff and a good night life. Also, close to town and all the great things of Cabos! The buffets where good and both close to the large pool areas. The view from the infinity pool facing the mountains and marina were spectacular.
