Grand Oasis Cancun: OASIS IS NOT GRAND!!

We went to find rest and relaxation and hopefully enjoy a stress free week of CHILL VIBES, but what we got instead was a less than grand experience. Day 1, we me(male) and my female cousin were booked in a king bed even though I asked for a double room. The front desk were not friendly, I should have known then that this was going to be a bad stay. He provided a room with two beds, but we walked into what I call a 1 star room and here is the list; DIRTY, BATHROOM WAS NOT CLEANED VERY [... read more] WELL, NO COFFEE MAKER, NOTHING IN MINI BAR, NO BEACH TOWELS , no garden view, AND THE A/C WAS NOT WORKING. All the things on the list were promised in the booking. We left it for the night, but after a restless sleep because we were both hot my cousin said we will go later to the concierge. Day 2:Towel lady told us to go for a walk as it towels were coming at 9am, it was 905a, because she was busy talking to some old man who seemed like he was trying to date her. They told us 4 times to go away, it was already 910am, we stayed and waited . We asked two employees where lunch was and they said, too far 1 mile then started laughing, so no lunch on this day. eat. My cousin went to concierge to get room changed, at first they were just going to put in order to fix the A/C , but we said no and they gave us a king room. Room good accept it smelled like sewer the bathroom and looked like it was in the middle of a repair. It was not a very clean room and the mirror had something written on it, like someone gave up trying to clean off lipstick. The tub was nasty. We were done at that point and we're not chancing getting a dirtier room. There was two restaurants for supper and one was better than the other, but the restaurant closer to the Pyramid was much cleaner, and better food. All staff seemed unhappy, and if you were not Caucasian u were seated far from the food. The first night when the server asked if we wanted drinks, we both said pop, and they said no, You can get yourself. That was pretty much our treatment all week. We are native Americans from Canada and we were treated horrible. The saving grace was we were treated good at the coffee and me place, so I loved coffee even more this week. This place caters to the Pyramid guest, who paid about $150CAD more than we did. This was not what I expected when we paid $1889 CAD. For this trip. The grounds were pretty dirty. It was not a great overall experience. I would demand a refund if I paid directly to the resort, as I came home jaded.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Sandos Playacar

The beach and grounds were absolutely lovely! There were always enough chairs available by the beach and at all the pools. The rooms were great with a pool and a hot tub behind each hacienda. We had a few water issues...one day only cold water, and one day only hot water. Also the hot tub was not hot for a few days. Repairs were carried out fairly quickly after a service request was made. One of our group required medical services, which was prompt and excellent quality. We fou [... read more]nd that food which should have been hot was sometimes only luke warm. Cold foods were consistently cold. Food was tasty with the exception of the Mexican restaurant which was, with the exception of the appetizer, quite bland and served luke warm. The beach lunch buffet was particularly good. We used room service twice which was also good.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful resort!

This is an absolutely amazing resort. The rooms were as stated, large & clean. The service was great. We had a problem with our safe and someone came within 5 minutes to help us. Always had clean towels, fridge was stocked daily. The main buffet was huge, clean and had wonderful friendly staff. We ate at a different restaurant every night and every one of them was fantastic. Beach and all the pools were great. The infinity pool was our favorite. Can't say enough about this resort. We loved it.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: It’s an okay place to stay

the Decameron Los Cocos in Guayabitos is an older hotel that appears to be under renovation. the rooms are old but clean and ours was freshly painted. staff were pleasant but had little english when we had requests or to ask questions. Breakfast omelettes are amazing as is the chef! She was delightful, singing and dancing! The rest of the food is okay but not a lot of flavour and not very hot. Beach is great but very busy!

Barcelo Maya Tropical: 2 nd time there!

I have travelled to many resorts all over the Caribbean… but this resort by far stands out… enough to return a 2 nd time! So clean/food is good/staff is wonderful But above all it is stunningly beautiful!

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel: Perfect getaway from it all

If you need to completely unwind from the world, this is the place. Quiet and secluded. No loud music or annoying entertainment. Clean, very friendly staff, beautifully presented and tasting food. No buffets. You feel like you are alone on an entire resort.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Stop and think

I’ve been to many resorts in my time and never had stayed at a resort that’s a 5star rating with no late night snack bar for late arrivals , crazy wait time for dinners do to no reservation allowed, no dinner buffet open (at least when I was there) , very limited lounge chairs around the main pool (beach) , very limited to little night life and or shows . I can keep going on but I believe this resort is more geared and favoured to the timeshare/residences at the resort. As for the cleanliness  [... read more]and rooms were good and big but I don’t go to spend all my time in the room , food was good just make sure to eat good throughout the day cause you don’t know how long you’ll wait in the evening (average 2hrs) it seemed. I felt that for what you paid for there’s so much more out there for the price with a lot more options.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Great travel agent support

Thanks to Tammy for her great support in accommodating our request not to use the outbound flight included in our vacation package. Despite having an uncommon request, Tammy managed to make our vacation work seamless.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Great Resort fof Kids!!

It was such a beautiful, well kept property on lots of beach. Lots of different dining options that you could easily reserve on the royalton app. Check in was a little rough, one of the two rooms weren't ready and with kids at 11pm, it makes it a challenge. Very responsive concierge on the app, anything you asked for came promptly. It's a very large resort and sometime, on weekends, when the properties open to locals, it does make buffet line ups extra long. You just have to be patient, the [... read more]re was lots of food.

Riu Dunamar: Pretty nice! Great pool, good food, not great beds.

It was pretty good! The food was pretty good and the pools and beach were great. One of the servers at the buffet, Maria, was AMAZING! She was so happy and kind the whole time. The beds were very small and very uncomfortable though. The bathroom also had an annoying window where everyone could see you shower and the light would shine so bright in the night through it that we couldn't turn it on because it would wake everyone else in the room. They also didn't have blackout curtains so it was pre [... read more]tty bright in the morning (which was ok for us since we rise early but wasn't ok for some of our other family members). The entertainment was also great - I couldn't believe how hard the entertainment crew worked day and night. It was pretty wild to see. I hope they get paid very well.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: excellente

tres bel endroit la plage est agreable quelques petits cailloux sur le bord mais l eau est chaude les vagues sont fortes mais au large jusqu a la taille elles sont tres agreable.La nouriture est tres divercifiee et tres bonne il y en a pour tout les gouts les resto a la carte sont excellent il y en a plusieurs mais vous devez les reserve rapidement sinon les places sont apres 9 heures pm ce qui est un peu tard pour moi.Le service est excellent le personnels sympathique et respectueux.Les chambre [... read more]s sont propres avec toutes les commoditees .Le seul hic c est le matelas qui n est pas parfait et les draps ne sont pas a mon gout ,j y retourne le mois prochain et j apporte mes propres draps.L an prochain j aimerais aller au riviera maya qui est adultes puisque tu peut manger dans les 6 Barcello et la plage est plus douce a marcher ci le prix est competitif au tropical qui est mon preferre

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Beautiful Resort

My husband and I stayed at this resort from January 9th/25 to January 16th/25 and had the best time. The resort is beautiful and there is so much to see and do right on the resort. The food and drink was very tasty with so many options. The room was spacious and clean. The service was fantastic!!

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Average Resort

We enjoyed our time at this resort. The rooms were nice and the resort was clean. The pools are nice and so is the beach. However, initially our room was not what we had reserved and paid for and could not accommodate our family size. Guest services resolved this but this was frustrating when arriving very late after a long travel day. We also ran into issues booking dinners at restaurants, especially around New Years, they do not have the space to accommodate guests who are not a preferred m [... read more]ember (i.e. time share) UNLESS you spend money on wine...once you spend money on wine you will get into the restaurants. This shouldn't be the case. I wouldn't stay at a resort again that operates this way with tiered memberships around restaurant bookings.

El Dorado Royale: Will not go back

This resort is spread over three sections. It is very large and not what we are used to. The food was excellent which is one of the only things I would rate highly. Staff are very disorganized and at time double booking rooms. I suffered from bites of some sort and could not go near the beach. This is not a resort for swimming at the beach. The feeling is they are to large and cannot care for guests. There was also no greeting from the resort staff or travel rep on site. Our room overlo [... read more]oked the back of a restaurant for a swim up beach view room which cost more. Golf cart everywhere that you were constantly moving out of the way for.

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun: First time in mexico

I was so impressed with the quality of accommodation and selection of amenities including the spa and gym which we used daily before our 1 hour walk down the beach. The resort staff were above and beyond and very friendly. The restaurants were amazing and the food was the best I have ever been served at a resort. Mexico has a 8000 year old history and there are archeological site you can also visit.We look forward to our next visit to margaritaville in cancun !

Grand Oasis Riviera: Cozy family resort!

The most important is the sea and the beach. The beach area is too narrow and not enough spaces for all. They have the large areas for the swimming pools, but they are far from the beach. The staff at the reception desk is very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff at the restaurant is not trained enough and it seems the service was deteriorated or was never at the high level.

Occidental Tucancun: it was ok

beach was beautiful not a big selection of food to sum it up you get what you pay for price was reasonable great location paper cups all loungers with no chairs to sit in around the pools but the drinks were good

Vamar Vallarta: Has potential but not that great, i'd recommend to spend a bit more and get a better resort

Rating: 2.5/5 I recently stayed at this resort for 7 days, and unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. Here’s a breakdown of my stay: Entertainment: The entertainment was disappointing. They only showed three different shows during the entire week, repeatedly playing the same ones. For example, the Thursday show was a repeat of Monday’s. The quality of the shows was poor, with little talent on display—just girls in skimpy outfits showcasing their bodies. There was no entertainment [... read more] at the pools either, which made the overall vibe dull. Staff & Customer Service: The staff was not particularly friendly or accommodating. My experience with the receptionist was frustrating. The resort provides old, damaged room cards. One of mine cracked when I kept it in my pocket, and they demanded I pay 200 pesos ($20 CAD). When I refused and asked for my luggage, they made it difficult, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Customer service was definitely lacking. Food: The food selection was limited, though the taste was pretty good. One day, they served a steak, and it was excellent. However, aside from that, the food overall was average—I'd rate it a 2.5/5. It wasn’t bad, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Resort Management: There was no information provided about activities or their timings, which made it hard to plan the day. With better management and organization, this resort has potential, but it’s currently far from being a great destination. Also you can't go in the beach (there is crocodiles and wild animals and so there's no beach chairs to even view the beach). After 10PM everything dies down as there's no entertainment such as a night club or no activities whatsoever.. after 10PM there's only a snack bar that serves only Hamburgers and Hot Dogs (no French fries or anything else)... The room doesn't even have a balcony and it's so small and outdated! Overall Experience: I’ve been to over 20 resorts, and this one ranks among the worst. I’ve even had more fun at the worst resort I visited in Cuba, which speaks volumes about this place. While the food taste was decent, everything else—from entertainment to service—left much to be desired. I wouldn’t recommend this resort unless significant improvements are made in management, staff training, and entertainment offerings.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Beautiful resort!

We recently visited this resort in January 2025. This was our first resort experience so we don’t have anything to compare. It is a beautiful resort with amazing grounds full of trees, plants, flowers and wildlife. Lots of shade for you fair skinned folks like me. The resort is very big so make sure you have good shoes but we loved being able to take a stroll and enjoy the scenery. You have the choice of two pools depending on your mood. Both were great but we preferred the quiet golden pool [... read more] or the beautiful beach on most days. The beach shore was a little rocky when you walk in however, it was only for a few feet. The staff were amazing and friendly. They were always hustling and working very hard. We were in a golden junior superior room which was beautiful and spacious. Housekeeping and room service were always 10/10. The only thing I would’ve liked was to be able to pump the A/C a bit more. The lowest you could go was 19 degrees Celsius however, the room still felt humid especially at night. The food and drinks were good. A few stand outs was the sushi at Ginger, the warm steak salad at La Hacienda and the French onion soup at L’Alsace. We only had to wait to be seated for dinner on one occasion due to the terraces being closed in case of rain. We loved the coffee shop and Churro cart. The entertainment was awesome and never lacking. There was always something to do whatever your interests. The excursions and spa were also 10/10! We would definitely recommend this resort to everyone!
