Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Exceeded expectations!

Sandos caracol was so much more than your typical all inclusive resort. It was a unique experience that my Husband and I won't soon forget! There is so much to see and do right on the resort...I'm not sure it's even possible to take it all in within a week! The entertainment was exceptional, the cenote was so chill and refreshing, the spa was heavenly, loved the romantic boat ride...I could go on. Sandos is in a league of their own, and we will return. Thank you Sandos for providing us with an u [... read more]nforgettable experience!

Riu Tequila: very nice clean resort with beautiful beach .

The beach is what stands out in my mind from first impressions upon arrival. Check in was very quick . Next stop to our room which was clean with 2 beds pushed together with a shower , no bathtub, flatscreen T.V. bathroom does not give privacy. No coffee maker in room. Buffet for the first night was excellent with many choices, clean, great Mexican atmosphere, good service. There is no buffet open for lunch, its by the pool. A disappointment. We did not go to the a la cartes, did not want to be  [... read more]tied down with times. There is only 3 to choose from. Most of the entertaintment was very good. When at the beach we went to get a drink and where told you can,t come here to have one you have to go over there. Lunch buffet at Yucatan are open to heat and food not that good. We had a later departure and they wanted 60 us dollars to keep our room for 3 hours. We declined and had to carry our money and passport around with us . I would go back if there was a great deal otherwise there are better resorts in the area for what they charge. . It was a nice trip but we are used to an air conditioned buffet for lunch, for what we paid that is to be expected. No room service, no pool or beach service.

Hyatt Zilara Cancun: The BEST resort we have ever been too!!!

The rooms, service, food and entertainment were First Class!!! The best part for me was a 'heated' pool and I don't mean by the sun - the water coming in was warm and the pool was large. Also no long bus rides as it's close to the airport.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: clean and relaxing resort

staff are very friendly,food is good. Resort is quiet. Food was good,but they ran out of some items very quickly. Our room was next to the main road leading into the resort and the noise was awakening us at 5 in the morning.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: fantastic

everything was up to snuff great people service could use better music at pools seems like you are catering to the 18 year olds and not the people who spend money but that is minor compared to the overall picture more nightlife and kids activities

Oasis Tulum: Don't do it.

Excited for a small charming resort, no such luck. No beach chairs (people actually chained them up at night), inconvenient washroom locations. Bad service, no bottled water, no towels, room fridge never stocked. Supposed to have the honeymoon package, but declined on arrival. Entertainment staff was probably our favourite thing about this place (Benzi!). Hotel was overbooked the last few nights so we took a free upgrade into the Oasis Cancun, a better experience there, but don't plan to vacatio [... read more]n Oasis again.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Mexico Iberostar

Went to this resort in March 2014 with two children (ages 14, 7). We had a suite room with separate living area and bedroom and very large patio. Unfortunately, very, very window off the water and so not much pleasurable time on patio. The resort was very good for kids in that there were a lot of things to do in the pool every day. Also, the food at the resort is very bland and so good for the younger person's appetite. The kids program was very good for my younger son and extends into the eveni [... read more]ng. He met a lot of other kids from other places and really enjoyed that. The hotel provided two free internet accounts which was really appreciated. The connectivity was very good. It was very hot when we were there so we had trouble staying awake past 10pm at night (so never sampled the night life and never left resort). Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend to another family looking for a hassle-free experience that the kids will definitely like (especially the younger ones).

Secrets Aura Cozumel: Great Value!

A relaxing vacation. Food was excellent and service was adequate. Food and beverage service on the beach was a nice added touch. Sand was mostly broken shells, but that should be expected on a coral reef. Snorkeling was great right off the beach, and the scuba diving was serene. Overall a wonderful resort and will definitely return.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: great service

very good service, clean ,good beach and great food. the adult only pool is such a great idea.internet service could be improved somewhat. but overall a great resort and we will definetly return someday.

Akumal Beach Resort: A Fantastic First Family Vacation!

Better to write late than never. It was such a memorable vacation that that my oldest step-daughter decided to make a book out of it using Shutterfly and gave it to us as a gift last Christmas. It's entitled " Going Tropical" and the first page says " Paradise Found". Akumal Beach Resort was a dream come true for our blended family. After receiving an inheritance from my father's passing, we took 5 out of 6 of our children on a first family vacation. Regrettably, the only one missing was my 23 s [... read more]on who decided to go to Cuba with his girlfriend. We traveled April 27th to May 4th, 2013. We were a party of 8, with children ages 9, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 25. My husband and I were 49 and 46. Three out of the children had never been South before. My husband and I had honeymooned at the Grand Sirenis six years prior. We loved the smaller Akumal Beach better. It won hands down for it's superb staff, cleanliness and freshness of food, a breathtaking sheltered beach and most importantly, fantastic snorkeling with turtles and a variety of tropical fish. We had 3 rooms. My husband, our 9 yr. old and I were in section 6 on the lower level and the others were by the pool on the 1st and 3rd level. Having done some research, we had requested bed toppers upon reservations and non-smoking rooms. We honestly could not find fault with anything except for some musty smelling pillows which were quickly replaced. We enjoyed all activities on site and also visited the beautiful ruins of Tulum, did a full day at Xcaret and a morning snorkeling session at Yal-Ku lagoon. We had visited Xel-Ha on our first visit. We enjoyed shopping in Akumal village as well as the Cancun airport for authentic souvenirs. We did not venture into Playa Del Carmen. The Akumal Beach Resort staff and manager were genuinely some of the most friendly that I have ever met. Having been raised in Cheticamp, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and having grown up in the hospitality industry as my family had a hotel/restaurant, I recognize and truly appreciate great service. We look forward to going back to the newly renovated Akumal Beach in August of 2015 to see the hatching of the turtles and to visit with the Akumal Beach family.

Moon Palace Cancun: Incredible resort

Nothing to say except all is beautiful, CLEAN and absolutely gorgeous...I especially like the cleanliness of the bathroom surrounding the pool. It was exceptionally well maintain. Wifi was free which is a plus and you don't pay anything to go downtown. We will certainly try to go back.

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Great vacation

Downtown Playa Del Carmen, near shopping, entertainment and restaurants. Chose an oceanfront room that was beautiful and spacious. Hotel staff are wonderful. 2 disappointments: the beach directly in front of the hotel and the hotel food.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Amazing Resort

The whole resort was a wonderful experience, grounds were immaculate, food was amazing, we have been there twice and look forward to going again! Pools were clean, and never over crowded. Main lobby bar was great, loved the river, and the Indians great show!

Riu Flamingos: Great Resort

This was a lovely resort, We stayed for two weeks in February and the weather was perfect every day! The rooms were clean and well maintained, but we missed the coffee maker. Dining room staff were helpful and provided take out carafes so we managed. We were a bit disappointed that not all of the restaurants were available each night, especially with the long line each AM to make reservations. Food was all inclusive OK, and the buffets lacked imagination, no fancy displays, cutbacks all around.

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos: Beyond Expectations

The trip was amazing. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Spotless and well laid out. The grounds and beach area perfect. The staff are super. Had great fun and enjoyed all the hotel has to offer. The restaurants were a delight - loved the sea bass at the French and the Japanese was as delicious as it was entertaining. So nice not to have to make advance reservations. And the shrimp tacos on the beach - what a treat! Martini bar was fun. Location perfect and the walk into the village an added bon [... read more]us.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Amazing Place

Best service, the waiters are very nice, everything is clean, rooms are big, Food is perfect and you must go to all the A la carte restaurants, especial the French one. If I have the chance, I will definitely go again..

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: The absolute BEST if you have kids!

We had one goal in mind: to provide our 4 year old daughter with the absolute best vacation she could have as a child, and: we couldn't have been any happier! Special thanks to Gerardo, Virginia, Lucy (Family Concierge), and Gilberto (Captain of the restaurant at breakfast time). If you adore your kids and want the BEST, do not hesitate, just go to this resort, you will never regret it! Room Tip: If you can, definitely go with the Family Concierge service, it's worth every penny (and more)!

Ocean Maya Royale: Ocean maya

The grounds were beautiful, food was decent. They overbooked and made us stay at their sister hotel 20 mins down the road, which was a decent hotel and then transferred back the next night and was upgraded to privilege! I left my hair dryer accidentky at the first hotel and they were going to charge me $36 American to retrieve it, super disappointing. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Wonderful vacation

Had a super time...only wish we had a few more days to enjoy the catamaran trip that was cancelled on us and would have loved to have gone on the excursion to Chichen Itza. Would love to return next year.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Another Fantastic Stay

This was our 6th time at the Royal Decameron Puerto Vallarta. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles, including to the little village of Bucerias. The grounds are well kept and the staff work very hard to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms are pretty basic but very clean. Each room has its own private balcony. The food was great. You could always find something good to eat. The entertainment staff put on excellent nightly shows and work very hard. This vacation gives you good value f [... read more]or your money.
