Barcelo Maya Tropical: Amazing resort. Top notch.

The resort was fantastic and the staff did what they could to ensure that our vacation was enjoyable and memorable. We were able to use the facilities of all 4 member resorts. The food was superb and the drinks were refreshing. We both gained some weight during our trip. One week was not enough and we can't wait to go back.

Occidental Tucancun: Fabulous service

This was our first time in Cancún as we usually go to the riviera maya. We loved it. There are a lot of stairs so might not be a good choice for people with mobility issues. The hotel is on the upper level with the three pools staggered down the stairs to the huge beach area at the bottom. We were there for the last week of February and regardless of the pool or beach we could always find a lounge chair. That was a nice change. There was often a line at the family pool bar but the other two [... read more] pool bars were rarely busy. Pablo did a good job running around the resort keeping everyone hydrated. The rooms and grounds were very clean and well kept. The room was well stocked and comfortable. We were travelling with another couple and the desk was very accommodating and ensured that our rooms were beside each other. This never happens! The food was very good and considering it is a smaller resort than we are used to the variety and themes in the small buffet kept dinners from being too repetitive. The two a la carte restaurants did a great job and offered a good menu. My daughter did not travel with us but she is vegetarian and I often looked at the food choices to see if there were options for her. I don’t think that she would have fared well. Mexico likes their meat and seafood. The biggest treat for us was the friendly service. Omar and Fabian and Nancy and Tomas and Karyme and Antonio just to name a few made this trip extra special. The location is great. The hotel is on this wide expanse of beach but when you walk out of the hotel you are across the street from a huge shopping mall and steps away from the local bus that goes by every other minute to take you into town. If you want to grab a meal off the resort there are many nearby options.

Occidental Tucancun: Very enjoyable holiday

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating--right from booking in to the time we left. We had an ocean view room with a balcony--my wife couldn't stop saying how much she loved it !! There were plenty of pools--including an "adults only"--not overcrowded--plenty of loungers--it wasn't necessary to get up early to put in a "claim" on them. All had close by bars and there was a bar "runner" if you were too lazy to get up! The cleaning staff did a wonderful job not only with the  [... read more]room--but were constantly cleaning all furnishings --for the most part everything looked spotless. I would rate the food 8.5 out of 10. Not a lot of restaurants--but a good variety of choices--and theme nights (seafood,Italian, Mediterranian,Mexican,Asian) and a 24 hr snackbar. Overall a wonderful holiday--we would return.

Occidental Tucancun: Great resort would recommend.

Second visit. Resort well worth the money. Great location. Great beach front. No free wifi. No line ups. Easy check in. Definitely recommend. Food is repetitive but always find what to eat. great service. Second visit. Resort well worth the money. Great location. Great beach front. No complaints. Definitely recommend.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Awesome Time at Barcelo

We just spent a week at Barcelo PVR it was awesome. 5 star hotel with tons of fun and features. Lots of great food and plenty of choices. Staff very professional and friendly will meet your every need.

Occidental Caribe: Great resort!!

Would go back to this resort. If you’re looking to hang out in your room, probably not the resort for you, as rooms are dated. We didn’t care about that. Food was good, beach was beautiful. We had a great vacation.

Barcelo Maya Palace: awesome resort

the hotel and all the are awesome, so beautiful. Had a really relaxing vacation at the beach and pool with my daughter and her family .Great food and entertainment everything was fabulous. The pool was great although people would put their towels on the chairs early and you would not get enough chairs to sit together. There was not enough shade at the pool was very hot at times .

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Great food

Quieter resort, rooms were clean, food was really good and the drinks were well made. Wifi seemed to be an issue for those who wanted it. Rooms are a bit small but the showers were hot with good pressure.

Barcelo Solymar: Great resort

The hotel is pretty good. They did have some damage from hurricane but not too bad. The rooms were clean. Food wise it was ok could be better but it’s cuba. I like this hotel because it’s close to downtown and the beach is excellent.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: great Hotel

Good hotel Service is excellent Beach is horrible rocks all around toes get banged up from walking in the sand or swimming in the sea . Pools are great lots of chairs no worries about reserving chairs early in the morning. Not all drinks are included in the price you must pay extra for Zambuca or ryes these drinks are Premium according to them.Great people staff is friendly. No rules for restaurants they let you in with jeans and t-shirts. They let you smoke pot around the pool not im [... read more]pressed at all this is not an adult only resort .

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Fantastic vacation

We had a really good time at the Barceló Maya Colonial resort. All the staff were really friendly. The resort is kept very clean. Food was good, drinks were good, weather was awesome. We usually don't go to the same resort twice, but I would probably go back to this one.

Allegro Cozumel: Great Experience

Staff all so incredibly friendly and helpful Grounds were immaculate Great walking beach and excellent snorkeling at the resort as well as trips that leave right from the pier - so convenient - no taxis needed Buffet Restaurant near the Pools was the best. Consistency in dining and selections.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: good value

WELL KEPT, VERY CLEAN, WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SMOKING AREAS AS PEOPLE SMOKE EVRY WHERE WITH NO REGARD TO NON SMOKERS. FOOD IS GOOD, VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE. NO WIFI AVAILABLE FOR THE WEEK WE WERE THERE. very windy week for the beach

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Amazing resort

We have been at the adult only for 5 or 6 years in a row, we love the staff and resort. Very big resort if you want too be entertained an can also be quiet if you stay in the adult only. You pick what you want! Beaufitful Bavaro Beach! My husband also loves the Sport Bar can go for wings anytime. Will go again!

Barcelo Solymar: Great people, great service!!

This was our third time at this resort, and we really like it. That being said, this was also the most we've spent to go to this location. If it wasn't for the outstanding service from the front desk and concierge (ask for ONAY) we would think twice about booking there again. We were travelling with our 3 month old son and everyone really helped us get as comfortable as possible. The location is amazing, great to be within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beaches though!!....the mo [... read more]st beautiful and SAFE beaches!!! We had a fantastic time! We'll be back in 2020!

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Lots of things to do!!

This hotel was big but not too big. It has lots of things to keep the adults and kids entertained. Bowling, golf, mini golf, laser tag, escape room, casino etc. Lots of water sport activities. The food was good, and the beach is close to all the pools. The layout of the resort is very nice. I would recommend this hotel to all ages.

Barcelo Solymar: Amazing Beach !

The Hotel itself is showing its age and is in need of basic upkeep, but room was comfortable. A short 30 minute drive from the airport which was nice and close enough to walk into Varadero for some nice restaurants and nightclubs. Food was edible with some choice, not chosen for the cuisine but rather the beautiful beach. The ala carte restaurants we chose were ok with the exception of the Chinese where the service was brutal. Did I say the beach was awesome.

Occidental Caribe: Awful experience

The hotel itself, the room, the view and giving us complimentary champagne for our anniversary was lovely, unfortunately that was the only nice things about the experience. We arrived late Monday evening and went for something to eat on the buffet. Later that evening I was ill, it could have been from the full day of travel but I have traveled many times in the past and did not have this happen. It was apparent from the first morning going down to the buffet for breakfast that the service was [... read more] not the best. Almost every morning this would happen, we would get a table, we could never find one already set with cups, napkins and silverware. Then one of us would wait at the table to get a cup of coffee. Most of the wait staff spoke very little English so communication was quite a struggle. If you were Spanish speaking you received excellent service, sometimes more than one server at the table. I am not too sure if the staff were hesitant to approach due to the language barrier. On the Wednesday we were at the pool swim up bar, I am not too sure if this was due to having too much sun or having a reaction from the liquor they call Mamawanna but I became very ill and had to be assisted back to my room by wheelchair. Again, I would say that my husband and I have traveled many times to Cuba, Mexico and cruises and have not had this happen. For two days there was no cold water in the room, therefore you could not flush the toilet or take a shower. Then we had no hot water for one day. We usually love to sit on the beach and enjoy the ocean. Unfortunately it was far too windy to be able to enjoy that, the pools are kept very clean and we did enjoy the quieter pool that had wonderful service for lunch at the restaurant. It was helpful that we were able to have a la carte restaurants almost every night as we found the buffet quality of food not very good. Things did improve slightly when we had a great experience on an excursion. We were stopped in the lobby daily to try to get us to buy into their vacation club and found this very annoying. We went to try to purchase souvenirs at a local market within walking distance and found the people very aggressive, we did not return and purchased things at the airport instead. On the day we were leaving I called for assistance with our luggage and they did not understand at the front desk. My husband was returning the towels so I attempted to bring the suitcases down, I was struggling to bring them to the front desk and was not offered any assistance. I asked the front desk where we could store our bags, the girl simply pointed to a door. I went to the door, it was locked, when going to get assistance from one of the bellmen I tripped and fell, again no assistance from anyone. We had our beach towels stolen from poolside not once but twice. I spoke to the manager regarding this and he did assist me to get new towels. In the advertisement for the package it said there would be a robe, slippers and a bottle of rum in the room, this was not there upon arrival, when trying to speak to staff or the Sunwing rep again there were things lost in translation and understanding. It is customary that the cleaning staff leave a decorative towel design, ensure that there are fresh towels and restock the bottles of water as needed unfortunately this did not happen as well. This was out first experience in Domincan Republic and I do not think we would return. For the amount of money spent I really felt like I was an inconvenience to the staff and they really did not like the tourists at all. A very different experience from when I have traveled in other countries where they are so very polite, friendly and approachable. This was a vacation that I wanted to leave to go home instead of feeling sad for leaving. The flight was excellent and staff on the flight very friendly.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Dream Vacation in the Dominican!

The hotel, staff, service and setting were phenomenal--we'd go back in a hot minute! Avoid the lobster (smaller and mushier than Canadians are accustomed to) but otherwise the food and drinks were amazing and the presentation of it showed pride and attention to detail in all aspects. The ocean-front rooms allowed us to fall asleep to the sound of the surf and the wind in the palm trees--and the rain which only seems to fall (conveniently) at night! The excursions were phenomenal (I plan to re [... read more]tire ON the Dr. Fish boat) and the image of those turquoise waters and white sand beaches are seared into my imagination to hold me over until my next vacation. I would never have picked the Dominican (too touristy I thought) but I'm so glad I went--do it!!

Allegro Cozumel: Good resort

We stayed at this Hotel for 2 weeks..overall everything was good. Grounds & pools very nice, rooms a bit small, beds very comfy.. food wasn't the best..beach very good..downside. beware.sales reps for time share there own staff though were all quite good..
