Ocean Riviera Paradise: Exceeded expectations

I don't really have anything bad to say about this place. It was clean, great atmosphere, great food. Beach was nice, could use some more chairs though. I read mixed reviews before coming and honestly didn't know what to expect, but I would return. Great for families and couples, maybe not the best for singles.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Awesome

The Yucatan resort was beautiful we stayed at the 3000 swim out and it was nice, we had some good times. A few things though.. our key for door didn’t always work, had to return 4 times to get a new key. We did play games at the pool but I found the night life very quiet, ya a few times band playing but for an adults resort I expected more happening crazy fun parties I guess. We did a catamaran excursion n it was quiet, only 20 people on boat had to sit no room to dance or move around to pa [... read more]rty it up, very disorganized, we ran around for our tickets n they brought us back late to miss our boat back so had to wait an extra hour. I found the price expensive for such a quiet ride n not much to do. All around I found it beautiful just very quiet n reserved. The food was awesome the people working were too. Just found too much walking. As in the other resorts, the sister resorts had better stuff like bars n casino n they have kids there, we were adults only n nothing like that. Too far to go at night. Not really our resort also.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico: Mixed experience

Very nice and clean rooms, grounds and pools. Very attentive service. The problem is with the food. We both got sick after eating at a brunch. The rest of the vacation was lost. My friend stayed at the same resort the week prior and her husband got sick. I met a couple at the resort and when I mentioned our illness, she replied that she and her husband also got sick. The food safety is not up to North American standards.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: Amazing resort for our honeymoon!

From the moment we got to the resort (which was at 230 am) they were waiting for us with towels and champagne! We had the swim up room which was incredible and would highly recommend. The staff was great (Juan was our waiter that came around to our room everyday) and so friendly! It was windy when we were there so spent most of our time at the pool and lazy river. The coffee bar was great along with the martini and cigar bars. 10 restaurants with all different types of food ( lobster, Mexican, I [... read more]talian, French, hibachi, Indian etc). They had a turn down service every night with the next day schedule! Overall best resort we have been to!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Fair for price

Poor entertainment, beach has a lot of weeds, food is good, was misinformed on a excursion which was not worth the money ( cataraman ) good staff and friendly. We were told that there was a 3 hour delay to board plane and was not offered any compensation not good.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Fabulous

We had a great time at this resort. There was 12 of us and all loved this site. The only thing we would have enjoyed more would be some outdoor dining, especially at the buffet. We also didn't understand why you had to pay extra to eat outside at the Rodeo Grill. We have never encountered that anywhere else.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Great resort, terrific loction

Good hotel, clean, grounds nicely kept. Food was good, buffet lacking variety but tasty. This is the first or one of the first Hilton's to be all inclusive. They still have a little work to do (ran out of food at the pool BBQ a few days) also advertise Bud Light and Coors Light which was non-existent, ran out of Spiced Rum our second day there and never saw it again. We purchased the oceanfront room/premium package, there are extra charges for Grey Goose etc, not sure what the premium package  [... read more]extras were. The staff are terrific, very friendly. Just a few blocks from 5th Avenue with lots of shops & restaurants and entertainment. Overall a great resort with a super location, we would go back again!

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Barcelo Maya Caribe Beach

Probably the best all-inclusive vacation we've been on. The food was excellent, the resort/rooms were very well maintained. A lot of options for restaurants and pools. The beach had an area that was mostly sandy (hardly compacted) but was a little rocky in some areas to very rocky in others. We spent more time at pools (personal preference) and one of our six preferred the beach with no complaints. (Long drive from cancun airport).

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Fantastic Resort

This is definately one of my favorite resorts. I've travelled to different parts of Mexico on numerous occasions and found the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda my favorite! The concierge , Sophie, will do everything she can to make your stay comfortable. The staff is friendly and efficient and any repair problems in your room are attended to immediately. The food is excellent, fresh jumbo grilled shrimp ( on the buffet!), filet mignon at the restaurants, as well as an abundance of fresh fruits and veget [... read more]ables! I shared a suite with my brother and sister in law, which had 2 large bathrooms and was beautifully maintained and cleaned daily. Carlos, our attendant created amazing sculptures made from towels and linens! There are 5 restaurants and 2 different pools to choose from. ( one is a quiet, more private area) There's something for everyone here, and I look forward to returning!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Great Family Resort

We took our 2yr old and 9m old; there was lots to do for our toddler. The shopping center has an amazing playstructure and you can get ice cream, iced coffee, and crepes all included. It was a great place to go and play. The shows were a little too late for us as we were in bed at 8pm; we did watch 1 show and it was very cool. They had swimming lessons for the kids (mine did not participate) but there were well structured from what I observed. Staff was amazing and accomodating to us with the ki [... read more]ds. There was ALWAYS a chair available at the pool and we went at a very busy time. There always seemed like lots of space because there are so many pools. We will definatley be visiting the same resort again when our kids are a bit older to appreciate the amenities available!!

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Heaven on Earth but smokers beware!

We only get away to the sun every two years. When we do we want a smallish resort and a calm beach. We want coffee in our room. Dreams Puerto Aventuras certainly seemed to fulfill all our needs. Dreams Puerto Aventuras gets its highest accolades for its staff, and deservedly so. We wish we had better memories for names, but we will say almost without exception the staff went well out of their way for us and made us feel incredibly welcome. Two people we will remember for a long, long time are R [... read more]onnie and Sharon. Along with many, many more staff whose names we unfortunately cannot remember: thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful. Our room was nice but we had next to no drawers, shelves or hangers on which to put our clothes and ended up with all our suitcases open on the floor. No robes or slippers, no remote for the TV. I’m sure those would have been provided had we asked but we really could have cared less so we didn’t. We’re not fussy eaters. We’re not big on sushi or Mexican, couldn’t be bothered to dress up for Italian, but quite enjoyed the fare at the Oceana and the Seaside Grill. We never came away from the buffet disappointed. The CoCo Café is a really nice touch and was very much appreciated. The rest of this review concerns those of us who still smoke. I know there are fewer and fewer of us every year but we still exist. If you really don’t want smokers at your resorts perhaps this should be stressed on the many, many websites advertising them and singing their praises! We met many other guests who (along with us) were very surprised to have to sign a form at registration agreeing not to smoke on our balconies. Most smokers would like to have a cigarette along with their coffee out on their balcony before heading out for the day. It’s the only reason we look for resorts that have coffee machines in their rooms. On top of that Dreams Puerto Aventuras only has four designated smoking areas. Only one has more than two seats, only one shaded, none protected from the rain. If you’re not the least bit interested in our comfort perhaps you should plainly tell us upfront and let us choose someplace else.

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: Paradisus is paradise

Very clean hotel! Staff are very friendly and helpful. They try to make your stay pleasurable and enjoyable. Great food and restaurant choices. Lots of loungers poolside and at the beach. We wished for more umbrellas for shade, especially up around the pool. People tend to stake claim on those shade spots early by leaving their towels. Otherwise would highly recommend the resort! 👍🏻👍🏻

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Ocean Coral and Turquesa

I thought the hotel was very up to date, comfortable and friendly. I realize it is not the newest hotel in the area however I thought it would then have more ambiance and I was primarily very happy with my decision. The hotel however should update their beach chairs and their chairs around the swimming pool. I was down at the ocean beach most of the time and the chairs were rather uncomfortable and heavy to move around and low to the ground. The chairs are a main part of an ocean vacation an [... read more]d it is my opinion that the Ocean Coral and Turquesa is definitely dropping the ball in this regard and may lose repeat customers because of this oversight.

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: Beautiful wedding venue

We were a group of 40 or so attending my daughters wedding and it was beautiful!! Excellent resort for children as my grand kids were all there. Rooms, pools, service, and staff were awesome! The biggest problem we encountered at this resort and would cause me to never visit again was the food. Not that the food tasted terrible but was always cold!!! Taste was good but buffet food temperatures were horrible and the al la carted we visited were not quite as bad but if you didn’t eat quickly you [... read more] were eating some of it cold. I am not the only one in our group that complained about it we all did.

Grand Riviera Princess: Excellent vacation

The hotel was amazing. Good service, staff very friendly, clean rooms, restrooms clean, beach beautiful, lots of towels always available. Food and drinks excellent, no complaints. The a la cart restaurants offered great food and service. Overall was a great experience. We had 7 travellers aged 10-47 activities for all ages! No one was bored!!

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Beautiful Resort

Rooms and grounds were beautiful. Food and restaurants were excellent. Service was great with very friendly staff. I will definitely plan a return visit. The location was wonderful and within walking distance to Fifth Avenue.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Outstanding Resort!

So much to do! We never left the resort and wished we had booked our stay for longer than a week. Staff were kind, happy and very attentive (to be honest, the best service we've had at any resort and we did not book as premium members). We travelled with our 7 year old and he was treated like a prince. The grounds are massive and gorgeously well kept. Rooms are spacious and luxurious. We explored and hiked through natural trails around the property. We discovered a cinote and an inlet where fre [... read more]shwater and salt water meet- was some of the best snorkeling we've ever experienced. The beach is not forever white sand, however has many entry points and tons of fish, turtles and sting rays to discover. Food and drinks were everywhere and staff were never too far away to refresh our beverages. Pools are massive and incredible! The lazy river was too fun...went on it several times each day! Only complaint is they need a beer trail for the float haha! Only resort we'd consider visiting more than once. Night shows are well done and disco is easy to get to. Sky bar has some talented evening entertainment and the entire resort is brightly lit up. We liked that there were so many options and if there was an evening you wanted to chill, the rooms are private and you don't feel you're in the middle of the party. Monkeys and wildlife are very exciting and loved visiting the dolphins. Was more we could have experienced ...never made it to the spa, didn't have a chance to try the biking or even see the other half of the resort! We have been home for only a few days and are already telling everyone we know that it's the most amazing resort they could choose to go to!

The Sens Riviera: Great Resort

When reading other reviews prior to leaving I was a little nervous. There really is nothing to complain about. The beach was beautiful, the food was good and the wine was even better. The best part of this resort was the staff. They went out of their way to try to accommodate you in any way that they could. If they could do something for you they would. The only complaint I would personally have is that the resort is a little on the small side.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Beautiful bahia

Very nice resort ,the grounds are stunning . The staff are sweet , the rooms are big and very clean . Great entertainment . Will be returning , thx for a great vacation . The food was very tasty also the alacarts the service was fast . Friendly animals on the property . Thank you for a great time .maureen and Hank beekmans
