Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Resort Review

We had an amazing time at the Krystal Grand. Food was delicious. Pools were clean and the infinity pool was breath taking. It is a great location if you like lots of action on the beach with quick access to horse back riding, sea doos, para sailing, banana boat rides messages and vendors going by with jewelry, hats etc. Our room had no balcony. The window looked out onto construction and the rooms were very small. Other people we met were in other areas of the hotel and they loved their roo [... read more]ms. The roof top pool/bar that opens at 5:00 pm had has an amazing view of the area.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Excellent affordable holiday

Comfortable rooms, great pools. We stayed in the adult only pool section that was close to the breakfast restaurant and the bar. There was an area designated for smokers. The food could have had a more upscale menu and variety however I never went hungry. Many repeat customers were there. It is our third time and would definitely return!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Beautiful resort

We stayed on the adult side , great resort tucked away. Service was wonderful. We had a swim out and was very pleased with the overall look. Rooms were clean. Bar fridge wasn't stocked but we were close to all bars . Only recommendation to add disco on the adult side.

Riu Emerald Bay: Sorry to complain

The hotel was first class. The staff were amazing. A great variety of food. Wonderful Mexican dancers at the show! However the local loud repetitive music on the beach by 3 different bands at the same time playing different songs for 6 hours straight was unbearable. We could not sit on the beach, we could not sit on our balcony or have the balcony door open as all you could hear was tubas and drums for 6 hours and when that was finished, 2 hours of bad karaoke or bad audio video music began.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun: Resort

I think there should be more entertainment things for adults . It a great place for kid. The bad thing is the upgame we have to paid to use it. It should be free or one time free if you stay for a week. The bed sheet is not clean, need more improvement!!

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: the best I've been to in awhile!

Beautiful green property, renovated, upkept, clean and well taken care of. Several pools, cafe with great freshly brewed coffee, gym facing the ocean, meditation & yoga corner, so many things to do for kids and adults, or just find a quiet adult only spot to zoom out, plenty of space to walk around. Food was delicious, so much variety and fresh. The "cliff" &slide pool for kids- lots of fun. Staff so friendly too. beach is ok for sitting and building sandcastles but not for swimming due to weed [... read more]s and many sandbags placed to break off waves, but the view is still beautiful & relaxing. Staff works every day to clear off the seaweed. Our room was quiet, facing the river and surrounding jungle, my kid was so fascinated & excited watching crocodiles, crabs, turles & birds:) it's like mini zoo for her. Definetely goes on the list of places I want to come back to.

Paradisus Cancun: Great Resort had a good time!

Pros: Buffet food was good and lots of variety Entertainment: Good Customer Service - Was very good, all staff members were pleasant and helpful Cons: Strong scent located throughout the main lobby so if you are sensitive to smell this may bother some people Water leaks from patio doors within the rooms during rains and winds causing a safety issue with slippery floors Interior rooms need repairs i.e. washrooms doors off tracks, patio doors seized Ceiling leaks throughout hallways fr [... read more]om heavy rain fall causing a hazard No condiments in the buffets you had to ask for salt/pepper, ketchup etc Any drinks you can never get them to taste the same twice, that seems to be a common with all inclusive Ala cart Restaurants - Hit and miss, frequently items were not available Beach area umbrellas were missing lawn chairs (14 empty) so a challenge to find a place to sit on the beach The beautiful turquoise water was turbulent, so be aware, this could be a challenge for some swimmers Be aware of staff trying to sell you memberships to the Melia resort Overall had a great time!!

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Great resort with excellent dive shop

Great resort with lots to do. Shout out to Judit, Vicktoria and Ilana at the Kessler Dive shop on the property. Went for a wonderful suba dive with Judit. Ilana set me up with jet skiing and was super helpful. Also tried the surf rider. The beach is great in front of this specific resort, although you can use the beach at 3 attached resorts so lots of beachfront. There's also a dolphin enclosure. Date of stay: November 2023

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Great Trip

I am an avid all inclusive traveler and have been to 15 resorts in the past 10 years. This trip was just for two people both of us in our early 30s not looking for a party resort, but also not looking for something boring. I would say this resort provided a great balance. If you’re elderly this is a larger resort lots of walking, however it’s 99% wheelchair accessible. Rooms were clean and well maintained, property was also clean and well maintained. Beautiful grounds and the resort rakes th [... read more]e seaweed off the beach every morning. The water was not crystal clear blue water, however a hurricane just came through those waters and I know it depends on time of year you travel, I saw others say the water wasn’t crystal clear though during reviews so if that matters to you, look elsewhere. Beach was gorgeous nonetheless. I saw tons of reviews from people mentioning mosquitos, I didn’t see a single one… in fact I didn’t see any bugs at all except for one bee the whole week. However what I think the problem is, is the sand fleas (can’t really see them) on the beach, the resort could spray for these and I assume they don’t or maybe it’s just elevated this time of year.. however for a 8 day vacation if the only complaint is bug bites then I think we’re good to go. Staff was friendly overall and helpful when you needed it, Alex by the pool was tremendous very courteous and on the ball with his service. The resort could work on playing more upbeat current music, as we kind of listened to the same music everyday by the pool and it was a little dated. The games / entertainment team could spruce up their games in addition to their prizes. They handed out tshirts, I’ve seen other resorts hand out bottles of champagne or small bottles of alcohol. The food was good, however Royalton does NOT let you book dinner reservations unless you’re a diamond club member (I’ve stayed at a few Royalton now and it’s a trend. The way it’s featured or advertised is as a positive, however it’s very hard to get in the actual restaurants for dinner unless you go at 5pm or 9pm or later as the resort prioritizes the diamond club members which sucks when you’re being told it’s an all inclusive. All paying guests should have an opportunity to eat in the restaurants and if they want to reward higher paying guests then there should be a exclusive bars or restaurants for them, but all other guests shouldn’t be deprioritized. However again, I’m looking for things to mention, non of this ruined our trip in any way. We ate at the Italian, steak and teppanyaki all were good but not as amazing as I have heard Mexican food to be, I’d say 7.5/10. However they were good. We did eat at the buffet rest of the week though because it had more options and easier to get what you want. Note: there is NO AC in the restaurants, the resort relays on sea breeze… which sometimes works and sometimes there is no breeze. The club on the resort has AC, but it could have been cranked way higher lol and same recommendation on better music lol. Overall, I would recommend this resort for someone my age looking to enjoy themselves but not get out of control. There is a splash pad area for kids away from the “party” pool (which is just more like games and drinks and music pool, not party), and there is a few quieter pools as well. Clean and fun resort, great vacation.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun: Amazing resort

From the rooms to the staff to activities I loved this resort . It’s beautiful . The activities the rooms the pools the water park . There was something to do everyday and I had an amazing experience staying here , I highly recommend

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Resort going downhill!

I have been coming to this resort for a few years. It has definitely gone downhill! The rooms are tired looking, some of the patio doors didn’t lock and the smell of sewer throughout the hotel was not nice. The pool was quite often dirty with straws and cups and other miscellaneous items in it. The food at the buffet was not of a good quality and all of my dinners were spent off the resort!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Exceeded expecations!

The service was incredible as the staff were so friendly and helpful (especially Lorenzo). The food was amazing, the drinks delicious, the views were beautiful, and we loved every minute of the time at the beach! The weather was very hot so it was great to come back from a day on the beach or wandering around Bucerias to hang out in an A/C cooled room for an hour or two before heading down for dinner. We will definitely be back again next year and highly recommend this resort to those who would  [... read more]like to escape the cold of Winter and get to know the very cool little town of Bucerias.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Good time even with Rainy weather

So we arrived at 1130 pm, air transst did great job making sure our whole bus included all us to hotel, I had asked for ground or 1st level ,their English needed a little polishing, finally they mentioned was an elevator and got 3rd floor Jr suite. Looked great and had personal items in bathroom supplied appreciated The main lobby had multi level past bar area which could use some markings where the ceramic tiles are all same colour..00 it drops plus 12 inches ,my hubby luckily lande [... read more]d on his feet when he walked off level. Night entertainment was fine fire wand show Abba tribute and bingo /casino which was only for the French population,karaoke... Restaurants where well supplied with food choices Alot of rain and water on outdoor hallways big slip fall risk - staff tried to keep up but should have had a wet vacuum, All week had to watch not to fall around water from 3 rainy days, Reservations for a la cart were very tricky to manage, air transat rep didn't help with any of that HAD to use the hotel app and air transatapp which .y phone had no room to add another app to.. Finally I got 3 booked Beach was good once they cleaned it from the 3 previous days of rain Pools were great, drinks were very good not consist between indoor lobby bar and pool bar tho LAST MORNING AFTER RAIN STORM MOST oF NIGHT we had 1/2 room with water lying on floor I slipped and fell and hit my head I went to lobby and told them I wasn't impressed but they probably didn't understand told them I hit my head and asked 2 different people for an ice pack but they looked baffled... our ride to airport was going in 15 min Anyways went home to nurse the lump for 5 dsys Air transat - good for plane , but on way home should have handed out declare card 1/2 hour before landing poor decision as we were disembarking to give then Could have been more helpful at hotel no meeting and the timeshare people in lobby had to tell us where to find them Price was good for one week but was surprised how they didn't make their presence known once arrived Happy with trip central booking assistance thank you Wendy. Sorry fir the rant but most people have to watch their physical self to carry on after the holiday and being a nurse just me.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Nice resort!

Our reservation was with Hotel but when we got there, they upgraded us to the Hacienda with a bigger room with two double beds, which was great. We thought this is good. It’s on the quiet, side, adult side it should be quiet. During the day it was good, but at night time they hosted many corporate parties for many of the locals. So it was very very very loud at night till 11 or 12 o’clock. The music was extremely loud and it was impossible to sleep even with earplugs, so was I impressed with [... read more] this no were not, and we made it known to one of the managers. Other than that the food was good the staff was excellent. We enjoyed our walks on the beach and it was very warm hot actually. Would we come back, probably not unless they can do something with the loud music at night like why do they have to have parties right in the middle of the courtyard with all those rooms around with other guests that don’t appreciate it.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Very large property

This resort has lots of plants and animals. There is a small Mayan ruins a couple of cenote pools and a zoo. The water park will be loved by all. Several quieter pools available when the large pool gets to be too much. Ala Carte restaurants are booked on the resort website. The steak and seafood was our favourite.

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Beautiful resort

The hotel was absolutely beautiful, way nicer and fancier than expected. All the staff were so helpful and attentive. The rooms were large with comfortable beds (I had the best sleep I’ve had in a while in that hotel bed) along with beautiful views. The restaurants were amazing on a restaurant level, not just “good for a resort”. The resort is very modern and grand and aesthetic, great to take pics. We loved it!

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Aweful resort

The stay was an absolute nightmare — cockroaches and ladybugs in the room, zero water pressure in the shower, and noises from the hallway and people getting busy in neighboring rooms. As for the amenities, restaurants, and bars, they were a complete joke. The food lacked flavor, had bad quality, and to add insult to injury, they recycled leftovers like toasting old bread to use as croutons in salads. Everything shut down at 11 PM, and you couldn't even get a drink afterward. Room service of [... read more]fered a laughable three items after 6 PM. The disco club and sports areas reeked of rotten humidity, making it nearly impossible to breathe. To top it all off, the place seemed to be infested with some rat/squirrel hybrid creature. They were everywhere—on the beach, in the lobby, in the corridors, between rooms... This was a disastrous experience. My advice: STAY AWAY

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Honest Review

This is a solid 3.5/4 star resort in it's current condition. The grounds are lovely, the staff are friendly and hard working, and the food is above average. Great pools, the WIFI is strong throughout the resort (even the beach), and everything is very clean. The only real negative for us was the condition of the rooms ... they are dated and worn and really need to be refurbished! A couple of suggestions. We used Air Canada Vacations and our flight landed on time at 6:40 PM. We did not ge [... read more]t to the resort until 10 PM as it was a 2 hour transfer. The buffet was closed and we struggled to find food. The resort is massive and can be disorienting so it would be best if you can arrive in daylight. Also, while not on the beach, the beach is walkable. We stayed in villa 2 (recommend Villas 1-7) and it was a 7 minute walk to the beach and a 7 minute walk to the main complex/buffet. We stayed in PDC and Tulum earlier this year and our beach experience was ruined by the sargassum (seaweed). Thankfully, the beach here was seaweed free! If the gym is important to you, look elsewhere as the gym at Grand Coba was small and not well equipped. Finally, friends we met had a room on the 1st floor of their Villa and found noise from the room above to be a problem. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we heard nothing (noting there are no elevators).

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: The best time!!

We really enjoyed our week at this resort! The pool by the beach was our favourite, the food was great, the entertainment was good too, loved the drinks at the swing bar by the beach. We travelled with teens and recommend this resort. We stayed in building 5 and had adjoining rooms. The beach wasn’t the most amazing but it was swimable and clean. A 5 minute walk to the right there was a better beach but we spent our time by the pool! We loved the Saturday afternoon pool party with foam machine [... read more] - so fun!

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Great vacation, but the rain

Resort was great, amazing food, no need to reserve for most a la carte, staff very friendly, room very clean and new, beach area great with beach volleyball, lots of chairs free to take, bars around the facility were ok. their times were kinda not too good but we managed. the ocean water was not as clear as we wished . It rained insanely for 2 full days and that sucked! There were racoons on the corridors though that scared us LOL Pools were great as well not too crowded as there are many aro [... read more]und the facility. They didn't prepare our sofa bed for my son which we have asked in the booking so we had to call reception and request and wait for about 20 min before putting him to sleep that night. Didn't like they make you go to your room at arrival and wait for your bag. Bags took about 45 min to arrive in the room . Time of my vacation I could be enjoying the resort. The gym was the best of all resorts we've been!
