Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Needs an upgrade

Overall we had a great time. Our first visit to this resort was 6 years ago. Love the location-close to Sayulita and downtown PV. Staff were wonderful. Our room was clean but dark. The pot light above the toilet in our room started dripping halfway through our 10 day stay. We reported it to the front desk 3 times and it was not fixed. The food was not the best sometimes lukewarm. The bathroom at the flamingo buffet was dirty and had black mold on the ceiling. The bathroom by the main pool was st [... read more]inky and gross. Seemed like there was never enough places to sit in the evening at the bars or to watch the show at the main pool. Not sure if I would go back.

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf and Spa: Very Average for the price

The Hotel was very average, food was very average. Paid for the Preferred Stay and nobody told us what we were entitled to ( waste of money). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Found there was not enough restaurants for the dreams side.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: A Lovely Vacation!

We stayed at the Hacienda (adults only) side of Krystal Grand. This hotel was not perfect, with the reservation system still a work in progress (while we were there, showing up at 5:15 PM to line up to reserve a place in 1 of 3 evening seatings, worked well for us), and my fellow tourists hogging loungers and chairs with towels for many hours. As well, the housekeeping can come anytime up to 5 PM, which was not always convenient for us. However, we found that the resort's benefits far outweig [... read more]hed these minor inconveniences. The resort's location is convenient, close to the airport and Marina, and a short Uber ride to the Malecon and Old Town. There is a nearby supermarket within easy walking distance (Chedraui). We absolutely loved the food (we could not understand some of the prior reviews--different tastes, perhaps?), both in the buffets and the a la Carte restaurants. There were many healthy and tasty options, including delicious soups, salads, cerviches, and main dishes with fish, chicken, pork, and beef. The room included a daily stocked minibar with beer, water, and soft drinks, a huge shower, quiet A/C and fan, large safe, satellite TV with many English channels including Hockey Night in Canada, and a very comfortable bed and linens. The pools on the Hacienda side were relaxing, with plenty of shade available as well as sunshine. We also enjoyed the views from the resort side's rooftop sushi bar. The room key on our wrist bands was super convenient, and staff were very friendly and helpful. To obtain a chair or lounger, ask the towel concierge (do not take chairs from the nearby restaurant); the concierge may remove towels from unoccupied loungers (as for the people who later returned, after we had been enjoying them for over 90 minutes, I advised them to speak to the concierge). On our last day we were still allowed to use the services after we vacated the room, enjoying lunch and refreshments before our wristbands were cut off before our transfer arrived. Wonderful value! We hope to come again!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Excellent

The grounds are spectacular and mature. The beach walking south is exceptional x2 hours a few patches of rocks all the way to Maroma Beach. . The food was very good. The service was very good but the ice cream wasn’t good. The fruit and vegetables, baked goods and deserts were great! The rooms are fresh and up to date. Lots of fun activities for families with children. Only 30 mins from the airport.

Hotel Dos Playas Faranda: Amazing stay

Had a wonderful time at dos Playas Faranda. Weather was warm, people friendly, food varied and tasty, activities from 10-9 everyday. Close to the city, and just great all way round. Will book here again

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Great Resort

The hotel needs to enforce its policy of not allowing people to reserve seating with towels or personal belongings...most mornings by 9am, all seats had towels. Also, as the resort said 100% no smoking, this was something that was also not enforced by the staff. Otherwise great place to stay, clean rooms, lots of choice for food and all tasted amazing.

Krystal Cancun: Worth the read if you’re planning on staying here

It’s tough writing this review because the ground of the hotel were stunning and the beachfront was the best I’ve experienced in Mexico! Sadly, there are a lot of negatives to my review which others should be aware of as I wish I was. To start, we booked an all-inclusive oceanfront room for 1 week. When we arrived into our room at 1am after our delayed flight, we were very disappointed by the quality of our room, the obstructed ocean view due to a palm tree close to our balcony, and the very  [... read more]loud noise coming from the club next door which also had our room vibrating. Night 1 we got zero sleep. The next day we requested to switch rooms to another building and were told to come back the next morning. We figured we would catch up on sleep during the afternoon, but when we tried, a beach party at a club started and was even louder than the night. Going into day 2 we were exhausted from a lack of sleep. Finally we were given a new room in building 1 (the building furthest on the right when looking at the resort from the beach). This room was incredible and we couldn’t have been happier with it. Now onto food and entertainment. Again, we had all inclusive, yet we ended up spending a lot of money on food and entertainment outside the resort. Night 1 we arrived late and expected to utilize the late night snack options which were extremely limited to a couple of pre-made sandwiches. The next morning we hit the buffet and were shocked at how small it was. It was probably 1/3 of the size of any other buffet I’ve experienced. The options for breakfast were very limited and sometimes very random and not meant for breakfast. They consistently had pancake, waffles, French toast, eggs, and fruit but they never had bacon which was strange and they had cut up hot dogs which they referred to as sausages. Sometimes they had random things in the eggs like mushrooms and peas. They would also have pork chops, broccoli and carrots, and roast potatoes at breakfast which I’m thinking were leftover from dinner the night before that they were trying to use up. Lunch was the only meal I looked forward to but make sure you go to the poolside buffet for this as the main one was constantly disappointing. The poolside buffet consistently had fries, pasta, pizza, chicken fingers, nachos, fish strips, and fruit. I survived off of this most days. Dinners were strange. In the small buffet, they had theme nights which isn’t a good idea. Two of the nights during our week stay they had seafood nights. During these nights neither one of us ate as I don’t eat any seafood and there were no other options like pasta, potato’s or fries that I could have had. I never understood why they didn’t have things like pasta, fries, and chicken as daily items. There was no entertainment unless you consider them hooking up a karaoke machine in the lobby as entertainment. Also no poolside entertainment unless you consider an hour a day of them blasting music and doing a bit of Zumba or three rounds of bingo. Expect to go into town on the main strip if you want entertainment. All in all, while the grounds were beautiful as well as room change (make sure you get building 1!), and the staff were friendly, I would not stay here again because of everything listed above which is really disappointing.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Best Resort to Stay

Barcelo Maya Palace was an unforgettable place. The staff, didn’t matter where you were or what you were asking for, staff was there to help at all times of the day. The food was amazing. We dinned out 3 restaurants, visited most of the buffets. All were clean, well maintained and food was excellent. The pools are the greatest I have ever seen. Especially the pool side bars. Now for the Spa, WOW we go on vacation, all inclusive to be pampered, they came thru with just that.

Paradise Village Puerto Vallarta: Great Resort!!

The resort is extremely clean and well maintained. They are in the process of renovating there buildings and rooms. We were still in the non renovated building and room. It is definitely time as the room is dated and furniture and mattress are old. This is our second time to this resort. We loved the addition of the Sky Bar. You do get 1 Ala carte in the sky bar part of the All Inclusive. It is not part of the all inclusive if you want to go there for drinks or a snack. There will be a charge.  [... read more]We were fine with this as it was a great place for an evening cocktail. Paradise Village in my opinion has the best spot along the beach. Great for swimming and boogie boarding. Lots of palapas on the beach. Never had an issue getting a spot for 4 people. We had no issues with our food selection at any of the restaurants or the snacks during the day. The staff at this resort were amazing during our stay. Will definitely be coming back again to Paradise Village.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Friendly staff, terrible resort.

Grand Park Royal Cozumel: Beautiful Resort

Resort is Beautiful, great to sit in the Infiniti pools while the watching the cruise ships come and go. If you like going for walks on beach this beach is too small for that. Staff are friendly , food was great, rooms were clean. There are many trees and bushes around the other pool if you want shade. But there should be more lounge chairs and regular chairs should be added as not everyone can get in and out of the lounge chairs.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Great overview and snorkelling

Bar service is the reason this hotel recieved this rating. Rooms are ok but no bar fridge and inconsistent cleaning even when requested. Ocean view was un-comparable though... Location is about 90 minutes walking distance from the centre of town... A long walk but duable. Buffet Food is not great... Not great at all. A La Carte was tasty but difficult to get a reservation. Finally figured out the menu at the buffet restaurant and was able to order shrimp and steak on the last night. Pool w [... read more]as cold as were the hot tubs. Both unusable.

Haven Riviera Cancun: Beautiful resort.

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. A very clean modern looking hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Customer service is outstanding .The Flavours Market Buffett is excellent with a wide selection of food for any meal. Various pools to suit your needs. Beach had seaweed in water on some days.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Good resort

The grounds were kept beautiful. The food was very good, with lots of variety. Overall clean but rooms could use updates, especially bathroom. The pools were very nice and warm with plenty of chairs everywhere.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Awesome Resort

This older resort boasts beautiful manicured landscaping, lots of shade with mature palm trees. A great selection at the buffet and 5 star a la cartes; beef Wellington and filet mignon cooked to perfection. With the additional resorts there was plenty of walking and exploring the many facilities on site including dolphinarium, mall, casino, the option to travel the resort by double decker buses are also available. Service was top notch. Although the rooms were dated, the rooms were very clean [... read more] and the bed and pills very comfortable.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort

We had a family trip to this resort last week and had a very positive experience. We booked a room at Barcelo Maya Colonial but were given a room in the premium section of the Barcelo Tropical (with privileges that Colonial guests have) because the Colonial part was all occupied when we arrived. We liked the room very much. It was very close to the beach, clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. They also provided robes and slippers, which was convenient. The balcony had a drying rack, which wa [... read more]s also very convenient. The resort is huge, but it was quite easy for us to find everything that we needed. Grounds of the resort look great. One can tell that money is invested in keeping grounds in good shape. The beach was amazing. No seaweeds. Sand is like powder. There were strong waves the week when we were there, but these waves were clear and looked very beautiful. Of course, swimming wasn't possible, but jumping into waves was fun, and just being in the crystal clear warm ocean felt great. One absolutely need water shoes there though because it is easy to hit toes against rocks at the bottom of the ocean. The beach has plenty of beach loungers so we haven't had a problem to find a spot under the palm tree. Swimming pools are beautiful and water there is very clean. Food in buffets was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but we were always able to find something tasty to eat. We have also booked three restaurants (Kioto (Asian cuisine , Santa Fe (stakes) and Marenostrum (sea food)). All of these restaurants have very beautiful décor and tasty menu. We enjoyed them. Staff at the resort is also pleasantly attentive and polite. They try to help with everything that they can. Evening entertainment at the resort is great. They offer decent quality shows each evening. Overall, we are very pleased with our vacation to Barcelo Maya Colonial.

Riu Tequila: Riu Tequila : Perfect for me .....

The best asset this resort has is the STAFF. No matter what area you are in, front desk, buffet, bar, room service, pool and beach areas and yes even ground keepers They all seem to really care, they help you in feeling comfortable, relaxed, secure and happy. The location is excellent, heavily secured gated community in the heart of Playacar. Easy access to gorgeous beach and 200 pesos taxi ride gets you to 5th Avenue.
