Ocean Riviera Paradise: Wonderful Experience every time ❤️

Rooms are beautiful and staff very attentive. We enjoyed the restaurants. Loved the pools especially when they had the foam party! Stunning views and the entertainment. We ave been before and will likely stay again. Thank you Oceans resort staff for a wonderful vacation.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Good value, great place!

We had a great one-week trip. Overall, I think it was the best value all-inclusive we’ve done to date. Hotel staff was excellent! And the hotel was clean and well taken care of. Lots of great food options. The only downside was the beach was quite a distance. The beach was great and the snorkeling was great right off the beach. Lots of wildlife! Recommend downloading the app for the hotel in advance.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Can’t wait to come back

Other than the musty smell in the room,looking forward to another stay in the near future. The staff all around are an amazing group and enjoyed the interaction. Cleaning staff a room cleaners did an amazing job and the restaurant/bartending personal ALL were fantastic.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Wonderful for Kids, but Not Great for Adults

Not recommended for adults without kids but great for families. The resort is small. There were 5 restaurants for dinner, with one closing once per week, so that really limited our choices. The buffet served breakfast and lunch only. The Japanese restaurant was being renovated so the buffet restaurant served as the Japanese restaurant at supper time. However, we got there one night to enjoy Japanese food only to see that the World Cafe (buffet) was closed down. There was a big "official" note on [... read more] the door, in Spanish, that basically said the restaurant was closed due to "sanitation" problems. We scrambled to get a seat for dinner at another restaurant and when we were done, noticed that the buffet had re-opened (in less than 1 1/2 hours). We were told there were sanitation code violations in the kitchen which were since rectified. Also, worth noting, is that there are "leaks" in the buffet restaurant and window ledges in the hallways. These were not patched up but towels simply placed everywhere to dry up the water leaks. No gardening staff outside at all so many of the trees/shrubs had many dead leaves on them. World Cafe had dead plants inside along the window ledge. Not a good sign when you see this - makes you wonder what they are hiding. The staff were amazing. They made our stay better because of it. However, for the reasons above, we won't be back

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Fun and relaxing

Great food and pools. Beach was very crowded but enjoyable. Restaurants were easy to get a table at. Quality of food at buffet and restaurants was very good. Location was a bit isolated, though everything you need was more or less there.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Wonderful resort...

The entire resort was very well kept clean. The public bathrooms were always super clean . The food was amazing. We ate the buffet almost the entire time. Always fresh and tasty. The entertainment staff were such a pleasure. Gretel and Hannia were our favs. The rooms were pretty decent. We needed to move rooms because of noisy neighbours and the front staff were amazing to deal with. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. All employees here were very pleasant. Such friendly people.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Wonderful holiday

A very nice laid out resort. You certainly get your steps in if you're in the Hideaway section which isn't a bad thing. Restaurants were different levels of good with Dorado and armadillo being my favorites. Also Dorado had the best wait staff- special mention of Emmanuel and Henry. Having a butler was a new experience and I have to say that Alfredo and Sarah made my experience truly exceptional- gracias!

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Great vacation!

Thank you Tripcentral and personally Natasha Spencer for helping me to find a proper vacation package and resort. It was my first visit to Barcelo Mayan Riviera and have to admit it was a great experience. I will definitely use Tripcentral for my next holiday trip.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Back to Brisas

Back to Brisas 14 years later. We came to this resort in 2010 and we were curious how it changed compared to back then. We have been to secrets, barcello and dreams since then. We love the huatulco area so here's what we thought. Pros. -25 min from airport. -Rooms were partually updated, bathrooms still need some work. We stayed in their basic room in Nubes section 3223, it was clean, a comfy king bed, ocean view with a large window, mini fridge with beers, pop & water restocked daily. A [... read more]C worked fine ( a little loud but you get used to it), ceiling fan, walk in shower. -Service was excellent everywhere, from the cleaning staff, waiters, bar tenders, sports beach workers everyone was excellent. -Drinks were mostly consistent and very good, my favorite was the mango margarita. And if you want a espresso/ cappuccino just ask at any food area. -Food at buffet was good, nice variety and always tasty. Snack bar is great for basic natchos, tortillas, burgers etc. A la cartes were very good, we tried 3 Mediterranean, Seafood and Solarium. -We didn't use pool.(we are ocean people) but we did put our toes in and it was very warm and seemed like a lot of activities happening -The 3 beaches were amazing (best in all the hotel zone), snorkel beach was full of beautiful fish, a turtle, a sting ray...again amazing. Family beach was shallow and perfect for children and more nervous ocean people. Sports beach was our main choice, great swimming area plus all the toys such as paddle boards, kayaks, Hobbie cats. There were plenty loungers and never had a problem finding a chair. There is also drink servers always asking if we would like anything. Entertainment was great, there was a live band or dj every night to dance to.. Shows were quite good as well. Cons - too many people smoking all over the resort, usually in a family resort smoking is quite restricted. -If you aren't very mobile you will struggle to get around this resort. There is a tonne of walking, there are trams constantly driving around always ready yo bring you to your room and back, but it would still be a challenge for many., But we were totally fine and welcomed the exercise. -If you want a balcony you will have to upgrade $$$. Otherwise just a window. In conclusion would I return?? Yes I absolutely would, but at the right price point, until some updating and renovation on rooms and facilities it should be kept at a reasonable price.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Amazing Resort

I love this resort! Been here 5 times! Food, beach and people are amazing. The only downside pool is way too cold. I would recommend this resort, especially the tropical or Maya colonial! I love it so much I brought friends with us on our last visit

Secrets Huatulco: Huatulco

plants and birds are beautiful, can not beat the weather and location . The time share people are unsavory . Drinks and food were great, this is our 4th trip here. will come again for the location and locals.

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel: Beautiful resort!

The grounds were beautiful encompassing forests, cenotes and beach front! Beautifully kept grounds, service and food were excellent. I loved the spa facilities and grounds which were a welcome activity especially on overcast or rainy days. Serene, peaceful and thoroughly rejuvenating!

Las Brisas Huatulco: Huatulco Dec. 2024

Always a pleasure to stay at Las Brisas. Large resort with multiple beach accesses. Good food, accomodations and great staff. Close to Santa Cruz and La Crucecita for those who wish to venture out.

Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos: Wonderful staff

The Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos was probably my favourite of the 30 odd some resorts I've been to. I cannot say enough about the staff, from the maids who come by at various times of the day to ensure you have whatever you need, to the restaurant staff, who remember your drink preference and in a few cases, even our names. The check in and check out of the hotel were by far the smoothest I've ever had. I would for sure recommend this place

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Quite the opposite of an amazing resort

The hotel was extremely outdated where the elevators were under maintenance for the duration of our trip. Definitely a good hike to the third floor everyday. From the lack of care in the public washrooms and having one vehicle for transport shuttle for an entire resort, this was absolutely disappointing. Having to walk 20 min towards lunch and dinner daily. The pools were bone chilling cold as if they never plan on heating them. The activities are free including the kayaks. "Almost free [... read more]" while tapping on his tip jar felt concerning and insulting. Didn't even feel like using the equipment after those types of comments. Many more to list however nothing nice would be added.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Bahai Príncipe Luxury Sian Khan

The hotel rooms were very nice and spacious but a little outdated. The resort is very intimate and has plenty of foliage. The food was very good and they had a good variety at the buffets. We tried five a la carte restaurants and we were pleased with the food. We were not thrilled with the beach as it was very rocky and was therefore dangerous. If you were not extra careful, you could loose your balance. We attended some of the activities held at our resort and they were very e [... read more]ntertaining. There was a very unpleasant sewers smell close to our room as well as other areas of the resort. The staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. All in all we would rate this resort a 4/5.

Riu Emerald Bay: Fantastic Hotel

The food was above average, hotel was kept clean including pool areas and lobby. This is a 1000 room hotel which is well built and the rooms have sufficient sound proofing . The room was the perfect size , nice big bathroom and closets and good privacy on the balcony with full ocean view If there is one complaint, the elevators were slow and I was on the 19th floor. As well, the mini bar fridge was not always fully stocked. A big shout out to Manuel and Francisco at the main bar lounge, they we [... read more]re entertaining .

Temptation Resort & Spa: Incredible vacation

Temptation resort in Cancun, is bar none, the best resort I've ever stayed and vacationed. Thr staff are so friendly, professional and go beyond to please. Was very impressed with the young woman at the coffee shop in the mornings, she made me feel so welcomed. Cleanliness is 100 percent, food, entertainment, and location.

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel: Very disappointed!

I have been to Mexico multiple times and I have to say this time I was very disappointed. The resort itself does not offer much although it is advertised as a five star resort. As far as the room, my husband and I stayed in a Junior suite, it was the only part of our trip that was satisfactory. Although, the running water was cold, we had to let the water run for about 15 minutes before we can have a shower and the bedding was never changed for the whole week. There were only two restaurants, [... read more] one by the beach and one at the middle of the resort. The restaurants would alternate days they operated, so we could only have one food option per day. Menu was exactly the same at both restaurants. Every day they would give us the same menu. We ate the same thing over and over and our portions were very small. For supper they would offer only four different options. I had tuna one night, all I got on my plate is a four little pieces (approximately one inch by inch and a half) and minimal vegetables. To add insult to injury, this all-inclusive five star hotel had food options on the menu but at a cost. For instance, there was a steak dish which was priced at 3,400 Mexican pesos. This is unacceptable and have never endured such treatment, we felt cheated and take advantage of. The pool was extremely small and shallow, the patrons of the hotel didn’t even bother swimming in it. We were just sitting using the chairs around it. Not to mention the entertainment, rather I should say there was none. The one operating restaurant would close at 10:00pm . After you finish your dinner you just go back to your room. There was only one little bar by the beach and only one night we had a little bit of music for one hour. The vibe at the hotel was like being in morgue. Then there is the flight —WestJet— I believe my vacation should start at the airport, but I guess that is a lot to ask. I was not seated with my husband. He was seated on one end of the plane and I was on the other end. When I got to the airport in Calgary. I asked a WestJet representative if they can put us together and she said she couldn’t. She can only move my husband a little bit closer so we can see each other which he was still quite far away but OK that is on the way there. On the way back we tried to check in exactly 24 hours before and once again we were not seated together and only could sit together if we paid 200 USD. In fact I was placed in the middle of my row and was separating a married couple how paid $89 USD to move one person to be close to their souse. This is a vacation package, why are we being charged a premium to have our travel companion seated next to us? This should be and has always been the norm. But now with WestJet, the only way you are seated beside your travel companion is if you pay of course, as far as I’m concerned this is a money grab and is disgusting. This trip was a gift for my husband for his 70th birthday which I planned for a long time. I have to say I felt pretty bad, embarrassed that I took him on a trip like this one. We both feel ripped off and deeply unsatisfied.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Resort

Buffet was not great at either location. Very repetitive. A la carte restaurants were all great! Beach is unswimmable due to rocks and muddy water. There are no where near enough loungers for the size of the hotel. You need to be on the beach or at the pool by 6:30 if you want one. There is no spa, just massages on the beach. The theatre is too hot to watch the shows.
