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!

El Dorado Seaside Palms: Happy with our stay

This was a nice place to stay, facilities were beautiful, food was okay, and the staff were friendly. Best meals were the lunch walk ups (tacos,burgers, hotdogs, nachos) because the food was cooked right infront of you, and got it fresh off the grill. Breakfast at the beach BBQ was also great. Food was very satisfying. I wasn't as impressed with all of the dining meals however, although that doesn't mean the food was bad. I would go back here. Alot of falling coconuts, nobody was inju [... read more]red, but there was definitely a few incidents that made everyone go "that was close". Maybe harvesting a few before they get to that point would be a good idea. At least the ones above walkways. 4/5 because our experience was good overall

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Awesome Resort

Oceans is a fantastic resort. The rooms are well appointed, the grounds are immaculate, but it’s the people that make it so great. Samantha at Mikes Coffee is so sweet. Maria also at Mikes, Carlos at the burger stand and Buffet as well as Benny the cart driver. Always friendly and smiling. The food at the buffet and at Route 66 we found to be the best. The food at the a la carts is fine but the variety at the Buffett is fantastic. If I had to name an issue it would be the loud music [... read more] at all 3 main pools Eden, El Beso and even the Daisy. Music started in the late morning and went in all day. A little quiet time would be nice. We were at this resort in 2018 and now in 2023. Sadly half of the beach is gone. They have placed sand bags out to try and keep the beach from disappearing, but that’s not the resorts fault. There’s plenty of beach and lounge chairs.

Riu Latino: Five Star Experience

The hotel amenities are top notch! Foods and beverages are consistently good and there are variety of choices in all the restaurant (buffet and a ala carte) I also loved the bar inside the room.I also enjoyed the zumba and other games everyday. There splashworld slide added more fun at the pool. The beach view and atmosphere is relaxing.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Nice place

The hotel and grounds are well taken care of for its age. The food was good nothing fancy seemed like a favorite spot for northerners of Mexico as well. I will admit the beds could have been a bit softer but overall it's a good location and some very nice people work there.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun: Royalton splash riviera

I missed the Spanish culture; the “Mexico feel” Amazing restaurants and good food Service was good everywhere but never particularly noticed staff going above and beyond. Was disappointed with the extra pay activities ie jump zone bowling and laser tag… overall well kept resort and I would return

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Great location

Left and right you’re minutes away on foot from malls, shops and grocery stores and a short drive to downtown and Malecon. For a 3 star resort, food and drinks are great; all the staff and I mean every single one who works in this resort is incredibly polite and attentive. I think they are the main reason this resort thrives despite the hotel being old. Our room was clean but part of the ceiling was leaking, shower door won’t close well and shower water not draining well; this needs to be [... read more] addressed immediately. Overall, we are happy with our stay in this resort.

Riu Caribe Cancun: Loved every minute spent at this resort

I'm not sure why this resort has any bad reviews. We spent a week with our teenage daughters and they had an amazing time. The beach is absolutely beautiful, the resort is clean, nicely decorated and the food is so diversified. Yes, there are some food items that are repeating, but when you have over 100 types of food, I'm sure even the pickiest person can find something delicious. The only thing I wish they will change is the timing for RIU Party. Because that's adults only, our kids lost 3- [... read more]4 evenings with no shows because of this party. Riu, please keep in mind that the shows are nice in the evening and some people prefer a show instead of the party. Maybe find a way to offer both? The rooms are spacious, fridge is always full with beverages, we will go back to Riu Caribe.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Nice place

The hotel and grounds are lovely. Food excellent. Staff wonderful. Entertainment great! Saw a fire show on the beach and a Michael Jackson show which was outstanding. We had a "jungle" room and fed monkeys on our balcony which was 3rd floor and very private. Beach is beautiful and there was no sargassum. Pool is nice too. This resort shares beach and pool with the Tucan so there are tons of people. Had a very hard time getting a lounger on the beach which was very frustrating. The resort is a $1 [... read more]0 cab ride from Fifth Ave for shopping and there is a little mall 5 minute walk from hotel. You have to fill glass water bottles in the room for water. Super eco friendly. Also they do not have any coffee mate in the rooms. Dont know why. Also, if you are a smoker its a nuisance because its banned in Mexico. They have 2 small areas set aside which were always packed but nothing near the beach. The advisory for Mexico says bring eco friendly sun screen but no one checks. Its like paste lol so didnt use it. We were sent a link to pay a new "Vista tax" but didnt pay it and wasnt asked for proof of pymnt. On the whole its a nice place if you dont mind ton of people. Myself I prefer smaller resort.The jungle rooms were the best for nature action. Monkeys swinging in trees and feeding them bananas, apples and pears was an experience of a lifetime. Enjoy!

Riu Santa Fe: Great Resort

I highly recommend this resort. I was overall happy with my experience. The food was amazing and the rooms are renovated. The room service was good as well. This is both a party resort for young adults and a family friendly resort for children.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great service!

Staff was very accommodating, moved me to a ground floor room because of Mobility issues. Service was great, meal service was great, food not so much. Several days the choices were so poor we left the resort to eat. Thai dinner was good. Japanese dinner was so bad we left halfway through. Overall a good experience, I will be back. West Jet people were great.

Tropicana Hotel: Great location not so great hotel

We stayed in their economy room which we will refer to as the dungeon The air conditioner at night would sound like a squealing plane so loud I recorded it and played it for them but would be fine during the day latch on the door had been broken off poorly kept room hole in shower ceiling. The hotel staff didn’t seem very happy that we were unhappy with our room told us the hotel was full yet walking around say loads of empty rooms the only positive was our maid super friendly and did a grea [... read more]t job also for a no smoking hotel staff was eager to hand out ashtrays by the pool and in the restaurant. At check in we had to request our wristband for our paid breakfast and were given the wrong tv remote we had to have someone come to our room to figure that out. Back to the air conditioning when it squealed at night we would turn it off turn on the ceiling fan which made a loud squeak on every turn

Riu Vallarta: Lovely resort

Excellent outdoor activities and great facilities Excellent room service and love the bathroom and king size bed . Our balcony gave us an excellent view of the outside including the ocean even though it was a partial view. Nice bar overlooking the beach and great view of the daily sunset. However would love to have that bar open until 7pm instead of 6

Riu Tequila: Amazing vacation experience

The Hotel is great! We went as a family with kids, they are activities at night, beach was beautiful and foods are tasty! Lots of choices! The buffet is always fresh with updates! Workers are friendly! We will be back for sure!

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Lubeck Shoemaker wedding

Not happy: We did not receive confirmation regrding our trip until the day before we were to fly. this caused much anxiety. Our son was getting married so we brought 80 people including kids age 2- 15 to Mexico. We paid high price for our flight which was supposed to be a direct flight. That’s what we paid for. We ended up having to leave Edmonton at midnight and flew across Canada to toronto. Then flew from toronto to cancan and arrived in cancan got a bus to the Hotel. When we arrived [... read more] we had to wait for our hotel rooms, because the resort wasn’t ready for us.. Our room was ok, but i had requested an adjoining room with Our daughter. Instead she got an adjoining room with a sister in law. We had requested that we all be close together as we were travelling with young children. Our son ended up approximately 2 km away. Not good. Every thing that was organized for the wedding set for Nov 3 turned out to be a disaster. No one can control the rain, but there should have been a back up location for the wedding reception, we ended up getting delayed for supper due to the rain, but when supper was served the table was soaking wet, and we all ended up drenched with the water leaking off the tables. Supper was miserable, people were getting shocks from the metal spoons, when we told the workers they all acted like they couldn’t speak English, very frustrating. Everything was way too expensive, not worth what we were charged. We ended up getting stranded in Montreal on our return flight. This cancelation caused my wife to miss a very important surgery which she had been waiting for for 2.5 years. No idea when she can be rescheduled. We had to get rooms for 35 people whom were on this flight. Absolutely not acceptable. I will not be recommending this travel site or the hotel

Riu Palace Peninsula: Great place.

Good food and rooms. The resort is clean and lots of staff working all day for the upkeep. We took the city bus to Mercado 28 and down to CoCo Bongo. With taking the bus for sure. Cheap and not a far ride. The area is very safe for walking as well.

El Dorado Seaside Palms: We will be back!!

El Dorado Seaside Palms is a great resort, great food and a great entertainment team - Luis is fantastic and such a pleasure! Tons of people we met have been repeat guests for years which speaks volume
