Friendly Fun Vallarta: Beautiful resort with some disappointments.

Have been there 6 times, this last time was with new management. Beds replaced many loungers which left many people without a place to lounge . Need more of assortment of genres of music. Activity board, we were there 14 days & never saw an activity board until the last 2 days. Food was warm at best at La Palmar Buffet. Lacking activities, during day and night entertainment. Had to redo our Door key/ Pass key 6 times. Mirror in bathroom only. Bar fridge , we ha [... read more]d to call everyday to get it refilled. Everyone had trouble with their TV . A smart notice would appear / disappear approx. every 2 minutes. Frustrating. Many other guests had the same complaints.

Riu Tequila: Some good...some bad

The Riu parties are fun, the performances were as expected, nothing special. The entertainment always got pushed later sometimes almost 11pm so there were times when we just ended up going to bed after a few minutes of the show. There were quite a few things to do throughout the day. I tried three times at three different bars to get a decent margarita, no such luck, they were all rimmed with table salt and had no flavour. The food at the buffets are good, service is decent but I didn't find  [... read more]much of the staff overly friendly. It's nice that you can get food and drinks 24 hours a day. The beach is okay, albeit crowded with little shade. The walk does not take too long and is shaded and there is a shuttle, but make sure to check the times posted as there are times during the day it doesn't run. The rooms are comfortable and the mini bar is stocked every other day, although you can request more if needed. There is serve your own alcohol (bottom shelf at best) in the room. Pool areas are clean, I stayed away from the party pool as not many people leave that pool during the day even while drinking and it can be very loud. I heard the disco can be busy but watch your drink!…I know of two people being slipped something in their drinks! It takes over an hour to get to the hotel from the airport. I would return here if I got a good deal.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Lovely Stay

All-inclusive in every sense of the word. Hardly any reason to stay when considering the various beaches, many restaurants, and sights to see within the resort grounds. Look forward to returning to Huatulco.

Ocean Maya Royale: Great low key resort

This was a great resort. The activities team made sure there was always something to do, but there was also a very chill vibe if that's how you wanted to spend your time. Great food and nice staff. Also a good location - not too far from the airport or Playa del Carmen. Not a flashy place, but clean and comfortable rooms.

Villablanca Huatulco: Very busy Villablanca

Second time here this year. A different vibe from our February stay. More Mexican families, possibly due to their big holiday in November, also lots of Canadians, mainly repeat customers. Good value for the money paid. The location is central and walking distance to the lovely Chahue Beach. Yes you can walk to town but the heat is exhausting and taxis are only 35 pesos. We had a third floor room, #323, lots of stairs but that was ok for us as it’s top floor so no overhead noise. There is an el [... read more]evator on one side. The ground floor walkout rooms are the most coveted being that they are the only ones to have a sit out patio. Unfortunately the balconies on the rest are too small to sit out. Rooms are very basic. Staff are excellent. The included breakfast is plentiful. There is a tour desk so take advantage of that. We did the 7 bay tour and the coffee plantation and enjoyed both. It’s very hot in Huatulco so be prepared. We spent a lot of time around the pool. Enjoy!

Secrets Huatulco: A great holiday

We had a wonderful time at Secrets. The resort was clean and the staff was most accomodating. Food was good. We got the preferred package and the room was beautiful but you dont get much else so I cant recommend this package. Al in all we would most likely return another time

Riu Emerald Bay: Wasn’t overly impressed

The resort is nice, however, we had booked three rooms on the bottom floor all together. When we arrived all three rooms were scattered on three different floors. They couldn’t accommodate us with the rooms we requested until the next day and even then it wasn’t what we had booked. The adult pool bar was so cloudy and gross we skipped it and went to the other pools. Water and coffee was never replenished in our rooms (even though it says in the room pamphlet it’s stocked every two days) 4  [... read more]people out of our group got food poisoning and were laid up for two days. Couldn’t get any reservations for the restaurants. The food was average.

Riu Emerald Bay: Great family getaway

Traveled to Riu Emerald Bay on Nov 24th with wife and 2 young grandkids. Transfer and checkin were seamless and we were given a room in the new 4 storey building. The room was great but would have appreciated one that was not facing the air conditioning cooling towers as they run all day and are noisy when patio doors are open. Otherwise resort drinks and food were great, staff were helpful and beaches were awesome . And got those taking young kids the kids club was great with ball pits, dedicat [... read more]ed kids water slides and care workers . Yes we would go again .

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Wonderful staff

The hotel itself is fairly small and share grounds with vacation condos. Despite that, we found the pools were adequate--2 out of 3 heated--and there were many lounge chairs with umbrellas around them. We are 'beach' folks and enjoy dipping in the pool but sitting the days away watching the ocean--unfortunately, the beach only has a few palapa umbrellas so to secure any shade, one must go out early and put your towels on a chair. Not ideal. (there is no bathroom very near the beach and the one  [... read more]that was closest was closed for 2 days so we had to go to the lobby) We liked the food--always found something enjoyable, rooms were fairly large and clean, a little entertainment in the evenings, fairly quiet atmosphere--best of all, the staff were friendly and helpful at all times--shout out to young Samuel, who took my hand whenever he saw me and ran after my friend to say goodbye when we were leaving--

Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton: Lovely resort

We had a fantastic family vacation. We read a few bad reviews but the hotel exceeded our expectations. Good food, beautiful beach and good service. We didn’t do star class and still had a wonderful experience.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Perfect Week

The property speaks for itself. Every inch is in great shape, from the beaches to the restaurants. There is an amazing choice of food for every diet. Not a single thing I wouldn’t eat again. But better than all of this was the service. Every single member is genuinely there to help and make connections with all guests. The smiles were real , the kindness was unmatched. Well done to the entire service staff.

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort: Lovely resort

The food, staff, grounds and facility were all fantastic! I personally found the firm mattress to be hard on my back. The tablet outlining activities was also great, however we didn't get ours until 2-3 days into the visit. This tool is helpful, although changes to the location of the yoga not being reflected on the tablet was frustrating.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Ticks all the resort boxes

Geographically beautiful and natural. Well manicured grounds and gardens. Rooms and facilities very clean. 4 beaches, 3 for swimming with ample lounge chairs and palapas provided. Friendly, helpful staff. Generous availability to booking the a la carte restaurants. Easy access to the bars and servers were constantly available to take drink orders on the beach. The buffet had a huge amount of food choices, none of the main courses offered were repeated during our 7 day stay. The evening shows are [... read more] small scale but entertaining. Highly recommend this resort and looking forward to a return visit.

Riu Playacar: Great resort and atmosphere

We stayed for a week. Facilities are good, beach is beautiful, service above expectations, food is great, entertainment was above expectations ( we are in our 40 and we danced almost every night). The option of using other Riu hotels around added a lot. The only 2 items I would upgrade are the fitness center/Gym - equipment is very limited and outdated. Secondly, more shade option on the beach ⛱️ would be an asset. Overall, we definitely want to come back. Cheers

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Been before; will go again.

We've been to this hotel a few times. Our room was exactly as we hoped; oceanfront 3rd floor. Breakfast good. Love the salsa. Dinners only so so. Used Block 5 adult pool perfect. Staff great. Overall seems a wee bit tired. Would I go back? Yes.

Riu Flamingos: Great Food!

The Riu Jalisco was great! There was an excellent selection of food places and the buffet had pretty much everything - always fresh. There was entertainment every night - sometimes excellent (Michael Jackson) sometimes just so-so. There were 4 elevators and it seemed only one was ever working. But the stairway was bright and accessible. I would not recommend the Puerto Vallarta city tour at all. It was more geared to selling things (shopping, jewelry and tequila), and only saw 2 sites worth  [... read more]mentioning - the church and the malecon. One could just take a bus and go to both places from one stop. There were plenty of chairs at the beach & around the pools. I would definitely return!

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Adult Only Resort ???

18th time at this resort, ( Gran Porto Real - Panama Jacks ) The staff is amazing, the food up & down, no beach anymore. Junior suits are spacious & lovely. Nice size pool, hot jacuzzi, very nice sushi bar & small pool. Two minute walk to 5th ave, shops & restaurants etc. The outside pool bar 11am - 7pm !!! Adult Only Resort ? The lobby bar at 11am - 11pm !!! Adult Only Resort ? Having to be crammed into the “ inside & often noisy “ lobby bar every night a huge problem for us & not r [... read more]eturning friends (30-40) Most people we heard from & talked too want to be outside where you can feel the ocean breeze & mingle. Inside the few tables & chairs are separating everyone. We are always treated & looked after incredibly well. Gracias.

Decameron La Marina: Not for everyone but… Jen for older people

This is a Mexican vacationing resort so their are lots of nice Mexico. Service was amazing, struggled with employees speaking English and the rooms were nice. Looking for a party area please don’t come here, looking for relaxing low budget vacation come here

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Not a great resort

The staff were all amazing. The food was very low quality and not alwaus warm.. The overall issue we had was the rooms. They are in poor shape and needs much repairing. The bathroom has a huge leak in ceiling and black mold. It start dripping on our second day. Our fridge never got restocked. We always had to ask for water and coffee. It is no where close to a 4 star. The only 4 star would be the staff

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: One of the worst vacation!!!

Aircanada flight delays. Had us waiting in plane while they fix their "safety" issue. Resort was mediocre. Worse customer service ever. Everyone was just looking for tips. Could not find baby milk from 11pm to 6am, had to call room service took 1.5 hours to bring, called front desk they were useless. Half of people dont speak english. Food was nothing special, 3 out of 10. Kids got bored after the first 2 days. Will not recommend this to anyone. Embrassing that this is a Marriott brand
