Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful Resort

it is a great resort all combined it is a very large resort We would go back to this resort food was great and everything was very clean from the rooms to the pool to the beach There was lots to do around the resort if you were looking for activities

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great experience!

Hotel and grounds were very clean and well staffed. The transportation around the resort was very handy. The sports bar was a pleasant surprise, would have made a great hangout if the weather had turned ugly. Overall the food was great!

Barcelo Maya Riviera: New hotel

The hotel opened two months ago. Everything is new, clean, contemporary design inside and out. Great service. As opposed to other Barcelo resorts here we did not have the stress to be in time for breakfast or lunch. When we were late at the buffet they gave us a la carte. The dinner is free at the restaurants. Strongly recommend the Japanese / best meal and the French / best service restaurants. You need water shoes as there are corals in the water and snorkeling equipment/ lots of fish near [... read more] the shore. On the minus side (most of them preventable) is that when we booked the room at the travel agency we asked for ocean front premium level. We did not get premium level, I should have checked as it was no mention of premium on the papers. Also the room was ocean view not ocean front. When we complained at the hotel they told us that they consider all the rooms ocean front which is not true. The travel from the airport to the hotel was included by Sunwing. Unfortunately they put the carrier on luggage together with the large luggages and it got broken. I should have taken it with me. When we came back from Mexico at the luggage pick up we realized that the zipper is open and a bag of cosmetics was stolen. This was my first vacation in Mexico. I will be better prepared next time as I will definitely be back.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Will return!

Large rooms amazing for families. Resort not too big or overcrowded. Staff lovely, especially Dulce and Quetzal. Food surprisingly great for an all-inclusive. Beach lovely but entry very rocky in parts.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Love this place!!!

This is my 5th time to this resort and it won’t be the last. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are spacious and kept Immaculate by the housekeepers. Everywhere you go the staff is attentive and gracious. I did find it difficult booking reservations this time but the food at all the restaurants was outstanding.

Grand Sunset Princess: Incredible and resort on

First time in Rivera Maya Great food, clean rooms, helpful and professional staff, fun events, restaurants galore. There’s not really a reason to leave one you arrive on property though the staff with help arrange excursions too . Love the swim-up bar - frozen margaritas while floating in one of the many pools. Love the steakhouse and Italian restaurants both - fantastic food. Entertainment every night - acrobatics, music, circus. Fun activities all throughout the day. Would def come again!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: still love the resort

We still love this resort and this was my second visit in just a few months. However I was a little disappointed that the Coba buffet was closed and under renovation and the 24 hour snack bar was no longer 24 hours...wish I had of known that in advance9oh and the main store in lobby with snacks and sundries was also closed for renovations. Wouldn't summer months be a better time for these renovations??

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Barcelo Caribe

Overall, my family and I really enjoyed this resort. Rooms were nice, fridge stocked daily with water, snacks and beer. We were located close to the buffet and Mayan mall so it was super convenient. So many pools including kids pools made it easy to find a chair. Water warmed up in the afternoon and there was both quiet pools and then those that had entertainment and activities. The only negative here was that the no smoking in the pool rule was not enforced which was gross, especially for us  [... read more]with young children. The beach is a little rocky but it didn’t bother us as we prefer the pools. We found the food mediocre compared to previous experiences at other Mexican resorts. That being said, we still enjoyed our meals and we really enjoyed the teppanyaki a la carte. We did enjoy all the activities on the resort including the arcade in the sports bar as well as the merry go round and skating in the mall. We ended up spending more money to do these things but it did keep our kids entertained. Loved the dolphin experience although was concerned by the lack of space in the pool. We didn’t see the night shows but there was something happening daily. Overall, it was good resort with lots to do for our family. We had a great time.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great resort

Was at the Oceans Riviera in Feb /20 and had a great time.The resort was fabulous and the staff were very helpful and friendly.The food was good and the entertainment was second to none.The pools were well kept and the grounds were spotless.There is nothing bad at this resort and I definitely would go back.Some people complain just to hear themselves complain so have fun and go with an open mind.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Amazing Resort

I thought the resort was outstanding on all issues and aspects except the chairs around the swimming pool and ocean. They were old and outdated and too low to the ground for some people too. The restaurant, activities and service was fantastic.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Great resort.

We were two couples who went for a 2 week stay. We had been there previously 15 years ago. The other couple had not. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.....loved the fact that you didn't have to book for the a la carte restaurants. Upon arrival, our rooms were to have been with king size beds and we were initially in rooms with 2 double beds. However, as soon as they were able to change us over, which was 2 days later we had our rooms with king size beds. The other couple had an issue with th [... read more]eir air conditioning and that too was rectified. We partificpated in various activities and noted that their entertainment in the evenings was much better than any other all inclusive we have been to. Overall it was a great vacation!

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Vegas style resort

If you like the modern minimalist look this resort is for you. The rooms are outstanding, the food is very good with lots of choice and the service is excellent and friendly.For dinner the French and Mexican restaurants are the best. Swim shoes are a must as there are lots of exposed and broken coral in the water. Lots of fish so goggles and a snorkel would be a good thing to pack.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Resort!

Good rooms, decent food, beautiful grounds, fantastic staff, the gym needs some work a couple of broken machines and the floor is slippery. The a la cartes are good, avoid the Gourmet (not that great), Mediterranean is really good and the Hibatchi was one of the best I've ever had!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Akumal did not disappoint !!

Everything was perfect starting with our booking with Carole Williams from trip central who made it flawless for us , check in was less then 15 min. greeted with sparkling wine. This being our second time to Akumal we really enjoyed upgrading to the adults section where the rooms come with a huge whirlpool tub ,adults only infinity pool overseeing the ocean. Beaches are absolutely amazing , the man made barriers made for calm waters no matter what the conditions were , snorkeling was an every d [... read more]ay excursion we didn't half to pay for as the fish are everywhere ( keep a piece of bread from the buffet the fish eat out of your hands ) They host shows every night which are top notch . We played tennis every morning and beach volley ball throughout the day. Food from the buffet was good with a great variety , the A la cartes are second to none and plentiful as you have access to there 3 sister resorts . We were able to book 9 different A la cartes on our 10 day vacation ( Don Pablo restaurant at Tullum was buy fare the best ) We even spent a couple hours cooling off and had a couple drink at there casino while playing 3 card poker ( won $ 200 bucks lol ) There are to many perks to list but here are our top ones . 24 hour room service , free shuttles to anywhere of the 4 resorts every 10 min , 3 beach bars , beach alcohol servers ( no waiting in line ) adults only infinity pool with a private bar , adults only restaurants and Ala cartes . The one thing i would change if i could would be the room temperature is not cool enough at night ( temps. are preset at 22 degrees )

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Bercelo Maya Colonial

This was our third time to this resort since 2014. We have found that since that time there seems to be less and less service after each subsequent visit. The towels in the rooms feel like sandpaper rather than the luxurious towels we had in 2014. They seem to hang on to the towels until they're ready to fall apart. The food at the pool was somewhat boring as the same offers were available day after day. We stayed at the Colonial but the food at the Caribe seemed to be much better with more vari [... read more]ety. The staff was generally friendly except for a few who seemed to be having a bad day. After this recent experience, I doubt we will return for the fourth time. One good thing about the resort was that all the a la carte restaurants were very good.

Grand Riviera Princess: Great resort

Large resort with great pools and beaches. Food was good. A la cartes were great. Staff was very friendly throughout the whole resort. Rooms were nice. Could use a bit of an update on the rooms and hotel itself.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Fantastic Resort

Very beautiful and clean resort. Having access to the 3 other resorts on the Bahia Principe grounds is a bonus. The only negative is that the resort does not allow the rooms to go lower that 22 degrees which was uncomfortable to sleep in.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Fantastic time

The hotel was very clean and well kept. by far the best sleep I have had on a vacation the mattress was very comfortable. Food at buffet was decent but the Ala carte food was amazing. Pools are very clean ocean is warm but bring ur aqua Sox’s lots of Coral

Grand Sunset Princess: Had a good time - travlled with family

This resport was huge and we've stayed at many big reports before. First time in Mexico and travelled with 2 kids and parents. Beach was great compared to neighbours and many many pools. Rooms are sizable, beds kind of hard. Lots of restaurants, buffets and food was good, nothing to rave about. Lots of selection. Great drinks all day and good coffee. The service was impeccable.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Everything was fine

The resort was clean, rooms and grounds. It was a very large resort so you waste a lot of time walking or waiting for a golf cart to take you where you need to go. It was a fun atmosphere at the pool, but not very relaxing because staff were constantly walking around trying to get you to buy a massage or a tattoo, and music was constantly playing. The food wasn't amazing but there was nothing wrong with it either. Nothing fantastic but no complaints either.
