Grand Palladium Kantenah: Great Family Resort!

We had a great time at this resort in April 2014 with 2 adults and 2 kids aged 5 and 3. We truly really enjoyed everything about the resort. The kids had a blast at the splash pad, on the waterslides and at the kids club. We all loved the nightly shows, the food and the grounds. It was clean, well maintained and large enough to keep you busy. Yes, there was a lot of walking, but we like larger resorts. There was so much to do.... the beach is gorgeous, nice and long, and we loved all of the wood [... read more] walking trails. I would definitely recommend this resort to a family travelling with young kids. We are already talking about going back next year.

Riu Vallarta: Good place

A very good all inclusive spot. The best part about it was the staff, but everything else was great. The shows, restaurants, scenery.... it's the total package. I highly recommend this place to anyone going to Vallarta.

Allegro Playacar: LOve the resort

Really nice resort, small and very clean. Food was good, not too much variation for vegetarian. Loved the guacamole and salsa. The beach is sooo nice , you can walk for hours, enjoyed going to the very end for a Yoga session. 20 minutes walked to the Fifth Avenue, lots of shopping there. Enjoyed the ambiance and the VIP treatment. Staff is very pleasant. I recommend this resort.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Fabulous Time, Gorgeous Resort!

The hotel was gorgeous, very clean, friendly staff, the a la cart restaurants were fabulous. Beach was clean and lots of room and chairs. The room was exactly as seen on the internet, very clean but agree the bed was hard... we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others to holiday at this resort and I would come back :)

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: great resort

Hotel is very clean, excellent drinks, food. Rooms nice and clean. Have to take trolley to beach. Private area for adults only. I never found it an issue. Always ride available. I never golfed so cannot rate it. I am a bahia principe fan and have been to slot of the resorts. Can never go wrong.

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa: Fine

We were very impressed. Grounds were extremely well groomed and the staff could not do enough for you. It was so nice to be able to walk about and not have to rely on a trolley system. Only negative was the distance from the airport.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Fabulous Resort

The hotel is clean and welcoming. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Excellent beach and great snorkelling. Good food and entertainment. Very family oriented but also excellent for the younger crowd as there are two pools on either side of the resort, the family pool and the party pool! We have stayed here 5 times now and have taken friends and family here and we cannot wait to go back.

Secrets Huatulco: Very nice pool staff, rude management.

I booked a two week stay oceanfront, didn't get it! They made a mistake with my room booking and the hotel told me it was my agents fault. They informed me there is only ocean view at the resort. I booked two beds got one. The lady was rude and told me just go to my room. They changed my room number twice before I even got my room key. I found the management staff unorganized and rude. I found the staff that did all the labour wonderful. The spa was great. Many restaurants to choose from, good f [... read more]ood too. Now pool chair hard to find and if you get one you won the lottery. Staff would look for 30 minutes and sometimes no luck. That was upsetting, on vacation in the heat but no lounge chair to lounge in. The weather was great. I even filled out a review to the resort and never got a reply to my concerns. I guess staying at a resort for two weeks doesn't rank a response. It has put secret's resorts off my list of go to resorts.

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos: Thoroughly enjoyed this resort & Cabo

Modern touches, well maintained, no restrictions for a la carte, love the martini bar - the weather was awesome along with the luxury sailboat excursion. If travelling to Cabo, I recommend considering this hotel choice.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Nice Resort

We loved the pool and the fact that you could swim later into the evening. The buffet's had a great variety of good foods. We wished that the room service was covered in our package, as well as a few other little things. The rooms could have also been a bit cleaner and more modern.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very Nice Experience

This is our fist time in Mexico but definitely not our last time. The staff in this resort are very helpful and friendly. Our son got sick during our stay but with their help and quick response my son was able to get to the doctor fast enough. The food was great with lots of varieties. Would like to go back sometime in the future.

Catalonia Yucatan: Wonderful place

We had a wonderful week away from Canadian early spring weather. The location is great, - very secure, clean, not far from touristy attractions (Tulum. Rio Secreto, amusement parks), plus it is in a gated community with a little marina, museum, and dolphinarium, - you can have a little walk to see dolphins, local restaurants, and shops (we did) . The resort has a nice little lagoon, which is a big bonus for families with kids or when the ocean is rough and swimming is difficult. The beach is gre [... read more]at, yet rocky, watershoes help a lot. You can buy them in a little store right in the resort. The reef is dead though, not so much to see if you are a snorkeler. The staff is very helpful and hardworking; oh boy those little Mayan people move fast!!! My husband is a hard tipper, but he could not resist to express his appreciation. We had lovely dinners in a la carte restaurants (Japanese, Mexican, and Italian); menus were not very big, but food was great. Cooks in Japanese restaurant are very entertaining, worth to see. Do not forget to ask for deserts! They were pieces of art in Italian and Mexican restaurants, and very delicious too. The crepes in a little cafe were very good too, we had them for few dinners, also this crepe cafe had a very nice cappuccino. Sadly, there are not so many places (better to say almost none, only the crepe bar which was open after 5 pm only) to get a decent cap of coffee. We stayed in a basic room, which suited our needs (we went there only to sleep), beds were comfortable, no problems with water, cleaning, towels etc. Overall, we have been very happy with our resort choice, and highly recommend this resort.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Decent resort

The place was nice. The rooms were clean and the food was good. The beaches were a little crowded, and it was often hard to get a chair/hut on the beach. I would go again, but likely at an off-season time (I went over March break).

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Our Mexican home away from home

“Our Mexican home away from home” Stayed November 14th to 25th (Celebrated both our 33rd wedding anniversary & my birthday) My husband and I stayed here on our very first all inclusive vacation back in 2005. This past trip was our 9th GBP vacation and we will be booking #10 next spring. We have also been to the GBP Puerto Plata location once, and Punta Cana's Luxury Ambar four times. What we know for sure is this hotel chain knows how to treat their repeat guests so well that they want to [... read more] return to "their home away from home". We are still very impressed with the whole layout and beauty of the hotel, rooms are clean and they have all the basics things you would expect. There is a large selection of both the buffet food, and also all the a la carte choices. We like that so many activities are available, and that the nightly shows are so enjoyable. The staff is always courteous, and the service is always quick. The only cons that we could come up with is that compared to 10 years ago the hotel has really cut back on the selection of toiletries you used to get in the optional upgrade "Golden Section" rooms that are located near the quiet pool that we always book, you can no longer have wine or cava (sparkling white wine) at any of the beach bars, and as of this year you can no longer prebook your a la carte restaurant preferences in advance via e-mail. Some vacationers feel that the hotel is too far from the airport and I do get that a 90 minute transfer is longer compared to hotels located closer to the airport, though what you learn after visiting just once is that there are so many things nearby to do that it's really an excellent location. We take the local collectivo and do things on our own rather than paying a higher cost of booking a tour which gives us the freedom to do things on our own time schedule which we much prefer. Even if you never leave the hotel there are many things to do. Here are some suggestions for first time guests: - Sign out a bicycle and ride around the resort - Climb up the lookout tower (take a selfie just for fun) - Play a game of ping pong, or pool - Go see the free short dolphin show (ask for the show time) - Treat yourself to the Mexican Fiesta show (additional charge) - Lay in a hammock (place your beach towel done first) - Get on a tram just to ride around and see more of the hotel layout. - check out a different pool just for a change of scenery and different ambiance. - play water volleyball (consult activity schedule for the time) - sign out snorkel equipment (or just stand in the ocean around the pier and the fish swim all around you,) - follow the shoreline going south and you will come to a bay that is very nice for photos and you can cool off in the water. (must wear shoes and bring water) - sip a drink and "people watch" - talk to other guests they may have some suggestions or helpful tips. The staff really are fantastic and very hardworking. We highly recommend and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Temptation Resort & Spa: Very Nice Resort!! The party all day evey day

Everything was clean and in very good condition. Food was not bad, imo not great. They have everything set up to have a blast. Nice swim up bar. Topless pool. But what ever you do don't go for the morning breakfest thing with them, Recommended!!.

Grand Palladium Riviera Resort And Spa: Great resort

Super resort. Great food and beach was breath taking. Of all the spots we have been over years, (12) this resort is the best. Great selection of restaurants. We were a group of six and everyone truly enjoyed themselves.

Costa Club Punta Arena: Great Location!

At first; this hotel seemed very dated; scarey in fact when we first saw the dining room which was more like a cafeteria in a homeless shelter than what you might expect of a hotel dining room. Having said that and after the initial shock wore off, I have to say that the dining room although in desperate need of updating, had a great selection of food and the staff was among the best we've ever had...and we've travelled a bit in recent years. The staff even took the time to help me learn a new s [... read more]panish phrase each day, because they knew of my interest in learning. The room although dated was very clean and large and actually consisted of a livingroom, diningroom, kitchen with an outside adder room with a place to rinse out and hang your clothes to dry. Our unit also consisted of two bedrooms and a balcony overlooking the pool area. The air conditioning was great and the water was hot and ample. The location of the hotel is superb and within very easy walking distance of town. We went down to the Malecon most mornings.The hotel grounds were directly on the beach and also beside a lagoon which was populated with an abundance of wildlife including huge iguanas. We had a great time and met many nice people. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone... just be forwarned that the dining area will probably not be what you are used to.

Riu Santa Fe: Great Resort

Overall a good resort. The grounds were clean, rooms & dining areas clean. Friendly staff. Food was good, however my husband did get food poisining. So because of this we were not able to enjoy the trip as much as we wanted. Enjoyed the Baja coast

Riu Palace Peninsula: Stunning Resort!

Everything was top notch. The food at all of the restaurants was awesome. We stayed in the adults only section and it was a fabulous upgrade with a nice private pool and drink service at the pool. We will definitely stay here again.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Much more than we expected

We enjoyed an truly all-inclusive package to this first class resort. Had a spectacular view of the bay from our room. Great food included 3 special live entertainment open air shows and buffets. Very clean and beautifully maintained. Walking distance to the old town. Good security.
