Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Family friendly resort

Friendly staff work hard to help you enjoy your stay in this gorgeous resort. Enter from the open air lobby, through pillared walkways, down winding paths surrounded by lush vegetation, into airy immaculate rooms and massive pool area, we were wowwed. The beach was also wide and lovely, and the waters fun to body surf through. There is food for every taste, and options from buffet and open air seating, to more formal dining rooms. Be sure to try some side excursions to learn more about Mexic [... read more]o!

Catalonia Yucatan: Great Value, fun times!

Our first time to Mexico. This resort was a great size and with its sister resort, the Riviera Maya, there were good choices for food, drinks and pools. The beach is a little small and a little rocky. There is a breakwater, so the waters are typically calm for swimming, and there is a reef to snorkel right off the resort beach. The resort is dated, but the rooms were comfortable and clean. The resort is close to some fun spots to do excursions, i.e. Xcaret and Rio Secreto.

Azul Ixtapa Grand Resort: Great spot!

This was a lovely hotel. Great large rooms with balconies that all face the ocean. The pools are all lovely with 3 options of a pool with lots of action and music. Another pool with music but no games and exercises and the 3rd pool that was quieter. The food was quite good with the restaurants being excellent. However you only get to eat at the restaurants 3 times for every 7/8 days which means 4 nights of buffet food. We were definitely getting tired of the buffet food by the fourth time. Woul [... read more]d be nice if they opened up the restaurants more times for a 7/8 night stay. The beach was quite small but there was a lovely beach close by within walking distance. I would definitely go back to this hotel

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos: Fantastic Resort- especially for kids

We had the best trip to Hyatt Ziva. This resort had unbelievable food options, and many restaurants had a kids menu which was so appreciated. The pools were beautiful and very clean. The service was stellar. Can’t wait to go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Vacation

Food was great especially the fruit and the Tala Indian Restaurant. Great for families, always something to do! The insight shows were good also, coffee in the lobby was great. Some things overpriced though. $26 for a small ball to through in pool etc

Oleo Cancun Playa: Olea is Okay

It’s a small resort. The buffet restaurant surprisingly so. The reviews about the food are accurate. The buffet is on par with Cuba. The a la cartes are not bad The beach is very nice. Not a lot of seaweed if any. Pool area is very small and the resort does t have enough loungers. They were all gone by 8 am. Rooms are dated. We had the Inspira. It’s not worth it. Top shelf booze is $50 a day more. Area of the beach for Inspira guests is too small. No other perks really. Some small discounts [... read more] on the Bali beds. We had robes the first day in our room but then they disappeared. No slippers. No chairs on our balcony. Resort seems understaffed. One day our room wasn’t tidied until 4 pm. We had a good time as it was March Break and it was affordable. For the price point next time I would choose the NYX.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Truly a 5 star resort

From the moment we were greeted at the door to the moment we left, everything was 5-star at this resort. The entertainment around the pool was exceptional, including Israel, Carlos, so many others. Incredible dancers, all of them, and so pleasant. The saxophonist, violinist, guitar player were exceptional. And the food! Oh my God! Just delicious. We also took in all the evening shows and particularly loved the Three Tenors.

Ocean Maya Royale: Nice resort

My son and I went on a week long trip together at the Ocean Maya Royale. The grounds are beautiful, the beach was great to the right of the pools. (In front of the volleyball net). We found the other part not as nice due to the seawall that they have built I assume to protect the beach. The food was fairly good. I enjoyed getting a nice cappuccino from Mike’s coffee house each morning. The store had nice shopping. We didn’t see the shows. Only issue we had was we got pretty bad food poison [... read more]ing from the excursion we booked from Margarita at the resort. It was the Isla Mujeres excursion- do not book this one!!! My son threw up on the catamaran, in the cab home and in our room. I didn’t get sick until our plane ride home it was just awful :( . If we forget about the excursion we had a nice stay. Our room was not in good working order. Each morning the shower seemed to leak into the floor. We had to use our towels each time to sop up an enormous amount of water. We loved the Japanese restaurant. The Italian was beautiful, right on the ocean and was our favourite. I would stay again!

Haven Riviera Cancun: Perfect Getaway!

The perfect couples getaway! We had a four day stay at Haven Cancun Riveria and it was just what we needed to relax and recharge. We enjoyed using the gym, the yoga classes and spent lots of time at the quiet pool. We also had fun at the "party pool"! It's a beautiful, modern and clean resort. The staff work really hard to keep the grounds immaculate and to meet your needs. The circus style show was fantastic! The food was great at the buffet, Olios restaurant and we really appreciated the cafe  [... read more]and the food avaliable near the round pool. The beach was the only downside, as it is not well kept. Obviously the seaweed issue is out of their control and we knew that when choosing this resort, however more care is definitely needed at the beach. The sand could be groomed and garbage on the beach could be picked up. Overall, this low key resort is perfect for couples looking to escape!

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya: Wonderful resort.

The Hyatt Zilara is a beautiful medium sized resort. It is a well maintained facility in a natural setting. The food was excellent, Staff were fantastic, hard working and very polite. The beach was well maintained however lacked sufficient shade areas to sit/lounge and relax for the day. 7days would be perfect. We went for 10 days and found the resort on the small size to explore beyond 7 days. The night entertainment was good but usually finished by 9:00pm.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun: Good times for all ages!

Beautiful resort. Lots of options for food, pools,/waterpark/lazy rivers and the beach was great and easily swimmable. Took advantage of an excursion which was worth the extra $$. Lots of nice people and the place was hopping ! It was completely booked up(busy time of the year) . They left a lovely little cake for my bday in our room. Sweet surprise! Very clean and well attended resort . The staff were very helpful. Wished we had the 2 queen beds that we booked instead of the king and a pull out [... read more] sofa. That was disappointing. No option to change the room without a 1000$ upgrade. Otherwise it was a very nice basic room with ocean views. Would go again but not in March.(Sudden onslaught of a large group 18 year year olds exercising their new drinking talents. Just doing 18 year old things. I wasn't expecting that spring break energy-We have been to the neighbouring Royalton at least 4 times and that wasn't the case)

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Catalonia Playa Maroma

The hotel was great. Awesome service everywhere, beach was incredible, rooms were nice. We were in the “privilege” section…. Do not feel it was worth it. Everything was great but would not pay the extra for privilege a

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Barceló Maya Tropical

Forth time visiting will be back for a fifth! Clean and Fun!! Great value and the food is very good, pools are clean and we were with 4 other couples everyone loved it! Rooms are bathrooms are clean and the grounds are magnificent!

Riu Emerald Bay: Good Resort

This resort is a great place to take your family. The pools are very clean and are not too full. They do a great job at cleaning the bathrooms and rooms. The food selection in the restaurants is also amazing.

Selection Riviera Cancun: Great relaxing resort!

Hotel was very clean and the rooms/ patio were larger than most. Buffet was mediocre but the other ala carte restaurants were very good. Service was good. Quite resort, which is what we were looking for this trip. Terrible beach but the pools were good.

Grand Park Royal Cancun: Excellent stay!

Beautiful hotel with great food (lots of choices with Italian, Japanese and hibatchi as well as buffet) and amenities. Adult pool is great with swim up bar!! Beach is beautiful and really nice ocean breeze blowing to cool down when out in the sun.

Sun Palace Hotel: Amazing Adult-only All-inclusive

We can’t say enough good things about Sun Palace, Cancun. Beautiful facilities, great staff, super pools, great views and beach. Food could be slightly upgraded but overall it’s good. What is lacking are the number of restaurants,; they need at least one or two more restaurants and get rid of reservations only.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Amazing Resort, Pools and Beach

It is not a 5 star, but bang for your money. The hotel has changed hands and it is gradually being upgraded over time with paint, new chairs etc. (not enough staff - one person said, they were about 200 staff short) They are trying to invented it as a destination wedding venue. They were taking the activity crew away and having them do different things for weddings and event planners conference, we did not see the activity crew until almost noon.(2 days). So we took charge of our own stretc [... read more]hing class and then another gent took charge the next day. There was always something to eat if you did not like the looks of something. When we had a problem with very very stinky pillows, we just left a note for cleaning staff and they changed them -- that was the only issue we had . The activity staff had things for us to do all day - stretching, crazy game, bean toss, darts, water polo, beach volley ball, water acrobics etc.

Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Run down

Everything that was actually working was run down. Went for March break, no zipline, no water slides. Electricity went out, elevator didn’t work Food was 2* at best. Everything was deep fried or reused hot dogs.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Great value for the money

We stayed 1 week at El Cozumeleno in Feb 2023. The resort lobby and grounds were very clean. The staff were amazing. The food was what you would expect at a Mexican resort - buffet style; one dining restaurant that was tricky to get into. Drinks were plentiful and cold. We snorkelled, played mini golf, corn hole, bingo by the pool and dancing lessons. The people that stayed here were very social. When we walked the beach, we thought we had the best place along the strip. We had a great  [... read more]time. The room itself was cold (19 degrees - day and night). The first day we were there there was no hot water. But all in all it wasn't that big a deal.
