El Dorado Royale: fantastic spa resort

Excellent staff and the rooms were spotless. The food and drink were exceptional and our suite with private pool was a real treat. The gormet dinners in the evening were well done with the Italian restaurant one of our favourites. You could not beat the Sante Fe for breakfast. The pool bar staff and beach staff were freindly and attentive.

Riu Tequila: Excellent resort

This resort was excellent the grounds, beach, food and hospitality was exceptional. The staff very friendly. The only small negative would be the dimly lit entrance way to your rooms in the daytime. Overall we will return to this resort.

Riu Flamingos: Excellent Resort!

I really think this hotel served out purpose top to bottom. Well organized and a good place to stay with the family. This being my first time in Mexico gave us great joy to want to come again and spend such quality in Mexico with the same hotel and flight arrangement. We enjoyed from the hotel rooms to the food, to drinks to environment and pleasant service from everybody involved. Highly recommended!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Incredible resort!!

This hotel is AMAZING!!! And the food OMG!! I can't wait to comeback next year!! My boyfriend didn't want to go to mexico at first, but when we got there he was like " I don't want to go back to canada!! This place is incredible!!! :)

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: another great holiday

We have stayed at the Valentin 8 times, and it never dissappoints. They have definitely lost a little extravagance since the first few visits, but it is still great value. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is very good, and the pools are beautiful. The swim up rooms are our favourite. Will definitely be back.

Villa Del Palmar Cancun: Great Resort

Beautiful Resort, Very well maintained. Hotel is about 30 minutes from the airport and the hotel zone in Cancun.That was a problem if you want to go out at the Hotel Zone in Cancun. Taxis are hard to find because they think it's too far. We had the one bedroom. The kitchen was fully equipped. If you wanted to cook you had everything you needed. Nice Quiet resort.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Good Food, Good Beach, Well kept grounds

The Food was good chef cuisine type quality but signage could have been easier The beach was nice but swimming was somewhat limited especially towards nightfall as security would direct you out of the ocean The grounds were well kept really well

Grand Sunset Princess: Got better

2 male friends in playa del carmen to do some fishing . Repeatedly asked before we left for 2 double beds, got a king and one of us ended up on a cot the first night. Next night got 2 double beds but were over looking construction (noisy). Went to the sports bar one night and the hamburgers were raw , told the bar tender and he could have cared less as all he wanted to serve was beer . if you asked for a drink that he had to mix , he avoided you. Buffet restaurants were great, food was good , st [... read more]aff were great . Front desk and cleaning were also very good. Booking the specialty restaurants was not very easy as you had to book 3 days ahead and most were booked up. This was my second time at sunset princess and i'm not sure that I would come back.

Hotel Castillo Huatulco: Warm and friendly

It is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff and an outstanding beach club! The rooms are clean and well maintained. Food is average only, but the pluses well outweigh this. It is such an outstanding area for cuisine and the restaurants are just a short taxi ride away and very reasonably priced. We felt very safe there

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Fantastic resort

8 of us did a week at Akumel in March 2014.: The place is absolutely fabulous......can't waitto go again. If I were to say anything negative. .....it would be that we are so spoiled now that anywhere else we wouldn go would not live up to this!!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: A premium resort on the Mayan Riviera

We've stayed at many places along the Mayan Riviera coast and this resort is right up there. The beach is beautiful, rooms and service are great and the food was excellent. The only caution I would have is that is an adult only resort so it's on the quiet side--and a taxi to the nearest town for nightlife is expensive. We knew that going in and loved it!

Camino Real Zaashila: Camino Real Zaashila - Beautiful

Everything about the Camino was great from the room to the food. Some tips for Huatulco. Money. Take pesos. Your best bet for tips, purchases, etc. Everything is priced in pesos and they deal in pesos. Right now, CDN and US are the same so no point in taking US accept for one reason. Tips. US $1 bills are easiest. Unless you get a lot of $10 pesos coins. CDN coins are useless there as their banks don't take them. Pesos dollar bills are 20 and up so unless you want to tip $2 each time, the US $1  [... read more]works.Tours. We did the Bay and Snorkel tour. Long day on the water looking at similar bays. Snorkeling was awesome (only one stop though). Perhaps just a snorkeling tour is best. Then we did the Croc and Turtles which we enjoyed. Full day 9 to 4. Only down side is 1.5 hour drive there and back. At least there was A/C Shopping. Right across from Dreams is a little strip mall with a few shops, restaurants, small hotels, etc. Prices there are same and better than in town. We walked there a few times. Very safe...no worries. actually no worries anywhere we went. We went into town $45 pesos one way so a $50 works for tipping. Drop off in the middle of market. Lots of shops, way more than I would have thought. Look for the orange walled market place...quite the surprise. Again, the items across from dreams are there but same or more, but way, way more stuff. Silver, shoes, etc.Have a great trip. No bugs and lots of heat!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Awesome resort.

This resort had great rooms, fantastic food, lots to do, very clean pools and grounds, friendly staff and overall very well run resort. This was out second visit to the resort and will go again. Mexico also has great excursions.

Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel and Romantic Getaway: Villa Premiere

This is an excellent hotel close to downtown Puerto Vallarta. It is a small hotel, so you often get to know the other customers. The staff are great and seem to be well trained in customer service. I love the swim-up bar.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Wonderful

The resort was small beautiful ,clean, secure and very good entertainment. The food was great. There are many lounging area for quiet reading. We enjoyed everyday. There is shopping close by with everything that you can need.

Catalonia Yucatan: Nice resort

The resort was very clean! The beach was small - lounge seating was too close. We took water shoes for the ocean and glad we did! There are rocks for the first ten feet or so. They had 'privileged' services that were not included in our booking price. They up sell these services at check in. We were travelling as a family (6) so would have added $$$ to a budget that had already been set. Felt like two classes of people. Would have liked to have known this when booking. The staff were very friend [... read more]ly and happy to be of assistance. The ATV Explorer excursion was a blast! Would definitely do that one again. The shopping excursion was fun but went to a jewellery factory first (told we would see how jewellery was made) It was just a hard sell on over priced jewellery The shopping was fun. Overall a fun family vacation. Great memories were made!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo Maya Colonial Beach

While this is a huge resort they manage to keep the entire grounds pristine at all times. The staff here are top notch and willing to go above and beyond to ensure their guests enjoy a memorable vacation. Snorkelling here is better than anywhere else in the Mayan Riviera.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya: Great Resort

This resort was very customer focused, very friendly and quaint. Food was amazing on all counts... breakfast, lunch and dinner. Made some good friends there and still keep in contact with some of them....

Las Brisas Huatulco: Very relaxing

The location of this resort is perfect, a quick ride from the airport, removed from the main resort area (private beach so no beach pedlars) yet close enough to the resort area to walk. There are MANY stairs at this resort, which I personally loved as I could incorporate some fitness into my vacation. If you are travelling with someone who has difficulty with stairs or walking this might not be the best resort for them. The wait staff are wonderful, just like I read in previous reviews. This is  [... read more]the first time we signed a bill every time we ate/drank ( like in a restaurant here)., even though you don't actually pay the bill, you just sign for it. The nice thing about that is it gave us a reference point of how much to tip. If we didn't have or didn't want to carry cash with us, we could add the tip onto the bill. At the end of our stay we simply paid up what ever extra we had signed for. The food was very good, we loved that you ordered from a menu for lunch/supper. The breakfast buffet is awesome, be sure to ask for bacon if you don't see any out. The coffee is served in coffee butlers that kept it piping hot! We just loved that we could order our lunch, snacks and eat right on the beach! Even with eating in the beach and pool area it was very clean. Beer was served in bottles, not plastic glasses. I recommend you go for a walk to the massage huts at the end of the public beach, if you walk it'll take about an hour, we took our time. For 300 peso's my husband and I could each get a 1 hour massage. It was lovely and a great way to get out of the sun for a bit. We walked one evening to Frank's for supper, that's a must. Again took us about an hour to walk there, it's a safe walk. We also went to Mama Norma's for Key Line Pie, but they were all out. We had banana cream instead and it was good. We were there the first week of April and it was very quiet both at our resort and in the resort district. Easter was the weekend after we left and it was getting very busy, so be aware of when Easter is if you go. All in all a great stay, we were looking for a quiet and relaxing get away and that is exactly what we got.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort

The Barcelo Colonial is great resort the service is excellent the rooms are getting up there in age but are still good the food is great very wide assortment the pools and the grounds are very attractive and we would go back in a heartbeat!
