Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Beautiful resort

Well maintained buildings, grounds and pools. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was mainly buffet and ok. Short walk to restaurants and markets. A shuttle service to Puerto Vallarta would have been a nice touch but the taxis work well.

Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Not really suitable if you cannot do stairs

Clean and well kept. They take care of everything and are always working on something. As I use a walker to get around, even though they had ramps I found it very difficult to use. They were too steep and if my daughter had not been there I would not have been able to get around. I did have an accessible room and would spend most of my time on my balcony looking at the water and enjoying the sunshine. Weather was great all week.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Fun trip!

I read a lot of mixed reviews and overall the resort is really nice. I found our room spacious and clean, but we did pay extra for a better view. Our friends view over the ravine was not as great. The staff was great, I didn’t experience anyone who wasn’t pleasant and friendly. They we’re all amazing This resort is not a true “adults only” there is one portion of the result (the hideaway) that is adults only and it only has only one restaurant there. You have to venture to  [... read more]the other areas to eat at the buffet and the other restaurants which are all kid/tween shared areas. The food overall was really tasty though! The beach the week we went was not as bad as I have read it can be. But if you are a beach person it may not be the best choice as it is not a guarantee. You can see the seaweed coming in and see on parts of the beach how bad it can get, which is unfortunate. The main pools were always busy and lively which is great if you are looking for a party and if you are not there are other pool areas that are less busy. With multiple bars available and staff who walk around taking drink orders.

Hyatt Zilara Cancun: Wonderful Resort!

Overalll, this resort is absolutely lovely. The vibe is professional, happy, and well run! I found the grounds and property to be super clean and well run. There was always ample staff around to take care of any requests or needs. The food and drinks were top notch. There are always certain things that need to be improved but overall, this resort will definitely please.

Crown Paradise Golden: Nice Resort

Grounds were well kept, resort was clean, views were amazing from our oceanfront room. Bar outside the oceanfront room was really noisy until very late. Food was good, lots of variety although I did pick up some sort of gastrointestinal bug 3 days in to our 7 day trip. Tables in the buffet restaurant were dusted off with a dish cloth between diners - no spray sanitizer or proper wipe down. Servers were very slow in bringing drinks or clearing plates. Hand sanitizer units around the resort w [... read more]ere empty. A few bar servers and restaurant staff wore masks - never saw any travelers with masks on. We’d been to this resort on several different occasions over the years - this time it appeared tired and in need of some sprucing up (pool tiles chipped, etc). New roof top pool area was very nice although all the locks on the bathroom stall doors were broken/missing.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great

Was very nice pretty clean but there were no COVID adaptations. No sanitizer no spacing of seats. We didn’t expect anything else but I’m just answering your question. The shows could be improved upon but we’re pretty good. Theme nights in the buffet and towel art is nice but just an observation. Overall we had a great week.

Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All Inclusive: Very nice and clean

Rooms are very modern and nice decorated, food is very good but the dinning sets are a bit odd. Two different buffets that are not working everyday. You need to look for its schedule which day which one is open. Beach is not good and we couldn't use it. No place for walking at sunset.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: the worst resort i have ever been to

this resort is a 1.5 star at best food is not good i did not eat all week line ups a buffett tables not cleaned one bar tender at pool were not able to book resturants nothing available we heard we had to slip the matre d a 50 american to get in in 45 years of travelling this is worse than a cuban resort the worst part of the trip was the attitude of staff could not speak to managemant as they were never  [... read more]available stay away from this resort if u read reviews they are written by staff

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Great resort and location!!

We had been here 4 years ago and loved it! We were very pleased to see the resort and staff were still awesome! The grounds, pool and beach are great! Our room was very nice, we had the king size bed with the living room. The restaurants were very good! Only downfall was having to get up early to book the reservations for the next day!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Everything I Needed!

This is the 2nd Grand Palladium I have been to (Mayan was the other-MUCH bigger but the seaweed beach was icky!). Once you have a day to get situated with the grounds, it is quite easy to navigate the huge property because everything is spaced thoughtfully with many paths and walkways (mobility issues could be a problem, but you should know this already when booking) to get where you need to go. The property is kept immaculately clean! I appreciated looking around and not seeing any trace o [... read more]f the nonsense we've been dealing with for the past few years. It was perfectly 'normal' and for someone that was 'not allowed' to travel out of her country (or within for that matter) for 3years, I welcomed not seeing sanitizer/masks/signs/arrows at every turn. We were even able to serve ourselves at the buffet-it was GREAT! Which brings me to the food! Amaaaaaazzzzzing! There are many restaurants to choose from, and unlike other resorts, you could book one every night if you'd like (through the concierge or the app), but honestly, you would not be missing out if you just did the buffet-which is open late as well! (men need to wear shirts that cover their armpits-and they do strictly adhere to that policy which is appreciated! Other than that, you don't need collared shirts or dress shoes which is nice to not have to pack!). Mexican- La Adelita- was my favorite. It also had breathtaking views especially if you are able to book around sunset! Italian-Portofino- I heard many people were disappointed, but I had the Sea Bass and it was delicious! Bamboo- Asian- everyone I talked to said this was their favorite. (I don't really care for sushi but enjoyed the Asian buffet day!) International- Las Terrazas- one of the best (tasters) of french onion soup I've had! The Nest- you need to be in family selection to book this restaurant (or talk to Isis in conceirge) The pools: Adult infinity: is heated and has a look over ledge where I got to see whales jump every single day! It is not too busy, has a bar and you can usually get a lounger if you go down by 9am. (I was visiting at spring break) The main pool: this is where the swim up bar is. Didn't seem overly busy, the music is a bit too loud, the aquasize at 12pm was fun every day! (this is also where the app says most the main activities are, yet I never was able to find them, which was disappointing. I tried for yoga, stretching, healthy drink classes, eco tour- and I never found anyone in 10 days that knew what I was talking about even though the app listed it as an activity daily. That was unfortunate.) Kid pool: off the main pool with slides and sprinklers, as well the family selection has its own pool for kids too! The ocean :) Rolling waves, warm salty water, all the free water activities you could think of (surf, boogie board, paddle board, kayak, catamaran etc). There's also an area rocked off to avoid the waves and be able to wade with the little fishes that gets high tide and low tide and is great for the kids or people with mobility issues that don't want to play in the waves! The spa: Hydrotherapy is a must before getting a massage! It is a small circuit with different pressured waterfalls, hot sauna, hot tub and freezing cold plunge to get your muscles ready to relax! Highly recommend! (there are huts on the beach for massage as well, but I would pay a little extra for this experience!) All the staff is friendly and will do what they can to accommodate. The night shows are pretty decent (8pm for kids and 9pm for the main show). All evening noise shuts down between 11pm-12 which is really nice for those that appreciate their sleep and not hearing pounding music into the middle of the night! It was nice to have access bracelets to the room without having to carry around key cards! The only cons: Because this resort is so far from PV, if you are booking excursions, be aware you will be paying EXTRA for a cab to get there! I have never been to an all incl where you had to pay travel on top of your already costly excursions. It is at minimum 500pesos (for CAD that cost me $40 ONE WAY) to get to the tours.( There are buses a short walk from the resort, but I was recommended to not take them solo going to the places I needed to be on a time restriction because they said it can be tricky with transfers if you don't know. That being said, if you know the area better and have the time, the bus is definitely the cheaper way to go!) I traveled with WestJet. The hotel rep Epi was not as helpful as the other reps. He was only there for an hour and a half in the mornings. He did not explain the cost of cabs on top of the excursion until after I already booked the tours! He never did answer my emails with inquiries (since he was hardly ever at the desk). The only thing he did at the 'welcome meeting' was give me my ticket for transfer back to airport- no tour of the grounds or even explain what excursions they offered-I had to figure that all out for myself. (not GP problem, just making note) *Not impresssed with Concierge at the stairs: When it was time for me to leave, I had to checkout early so had them store my bags. I was over an hour early to wait for the bus. I told the guys I was waiting for WestJet. I sat right in front of them on the couch for my transfer that was at 2:!5pm. At 2:25pm I got up and asked if the bus usually arrives lates. They informed me the bus was already there! What?! I was sitting right there the whole time! Why wouldn't they tell me? They said I had to take a cab. I asked to speak to their manager. They said no, it wasn't their fault. They asked the bus how many it was picking up and he said 7, not 8, so I wasn't on the list. ..I am pretty sure he made that up! I again kindly asked for a manager because I felt they should pay my fare and again I was denied. They said I could pay for it and deal with WestJet at the airport for reimbursement. I got them to call a cab and asked for a receipt. They said they don't do receipts. (so of course, WestJet didn't care for my story). So I had to pay 600pesos (nearly $50CAD) to go to the airport that I already paid for with my travel package. I was very disappointed in the way my trip ended. I have never missed a shuttle in my life and I have never not been told that my shuttle was there by the guys at the front. (there were at least 5 of them that watched me sit there and wait!). Do NOT rely on these guys to help you out. (they ironically are the same ones that told me not to take the bus which I would normally attempt to save money - so I am not sure but maybe they make commission from the cab drivers?) All the rest of the staff was amazing! All in all- this was a much needed rest type get away for myself. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend for family or for solo trips, it's perfect as long as you are ok with walking/hiking/peace and good food :) In fact...I liked it soooo much, I am booking to go back next month and take a friend! Thanks Grand Palladium!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Royal Decameron PV

We enjoyed an ocean view room from our rather basic hotel room The grounds are pretty and the many pools are clean and well kept. The rather thin wifi in our area didn’t allow us to log on with everyone else to obtain reservations for the restaurants of our choice each am. The main buffets.. we chose the flamingos as it was near our bld#2 seemed quiet.. the food was just OK.. Don’t expect gourmet..Many local dishes which is fine However having been we didn’t expect the 5 star experien [... read more]ce.. the staff and other guests ( largely Canadians pick up some slack..)

Selection Riviera Cancun: Simple Laid back resort

Nothing extraordinaire , low key , very clean ……butler service has declined since Covid thinking it’s a staffing issue , this has been our third time to visit this resort , the service has changed but again so has the rest of the world ! We sat at the beach palapa for the sound of the ocean & breeze , the seaweed is plentiful definitely not appealing to go in the water , pools are very enjoyable with lots of variety. Tough to get a 7:00pm reservation but the food in all the restaurants was [... read more] bang on. The one server that stood out for outstanding service was Antonio beach butler …he goes above & beyond to make your stay amazing !! Room service was bang on , great service & selection

Paradisus Cancun: Nice resort

Resort was nice I would give it a 7 out of 10. Only the steakhouse was excellent food, but you had to book reserve to dine there or pay extra. With reserve you were allowed one visit but a lot on the menu was also extra charge. As was the case at most restaurants. Lemon Fish was a good restaurant but again extra for most of the menu. Entire resort did not have Pinot Grigio wine which I found very annoying. Bali beds are nice but you only get them once per 7 day stay per person. You have to go o [... read more]n waiting list for the rest of the week

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Ahhh...could be better

Way too crowded Too many kids Not enough chairs Great food Rooms not so good Lots of mosquitoes Staff amazing Pools puss warm by 2 Hard to find peace and quiet Too far from airport Akimal much better

The Westin Cozumel: Beautiful resort

Great hotel with amazing snorkeling! Nice and close to the airport so you aren’t spending a lot of time travelling. Close to town, about a 5km walk, or a short bike ride. Don’t expect a great beach, Cozumel is not a beach island, it is a snorkeling and diving spot. Very safe to go into town and walk around. Rent A Bike Cozumel is a great business to rent bikes from if you want to cycle. Again very safe for that as well! Adult pool on the top floor is great!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar

This was our 3rd trip to this resort and we weren't disappointed. Checking in was a breeze, no problems. This is a large resort with transportation (golf carts) available, if needed. However, it is a comfortable walk from one end to the other. We enjoyed walking over to the plaza and checking out the stores and restaurants there. The whole area is similar to a small village. There are numerous beautiful pools, i.e. pool for activities, "quiet area", families, lazy river. The grounds are lush w [... read more]ith vegetation. Peacocks, Flamingos and other tropical birds add to the beauty of this location, also the funny little Coties. Although the rooms are a bit dated, they are very comfortable and clean. The whole resort, including the various buildings, are very clean. The staff are constantly attending to the walkways and grounds. The food and service was very good with a great selection at the buffet. We did dine at 2 of the available restaurants, and again the food was delicious. The beach is a beautiful wide and long beach with soft white sand. Unfortunately, while we were there the Sargassum seawood created a bit of a problem but we were still able to walk the beach and get into the clear, warm water. We enjoyed participating in some of the pool activities but mostly watching people having fun. The "animation" team was great. Leonel, Nare, Daniel, Alexander are some of the team that I can remember. They really got the pool hopping. In the afternoon we participated in the Zumba class with excellent instructors, Armando and Laura. The only thing I would suggest is that the "main" evening entertainment should start earlier. We found the 9:45, 10 pm start a little late. All the staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome. In summary, we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to going back next year

El Dorado Seaside Palms: Amazing time, very relaxing and great food

Amazing trip, super relaxing. Great hotel, friendly staff, amazing food. Will definitely be returning in the future. Liked the Facebook page as well, very informative, the app is also good. We are very satisfied. Pool staff was great, especially Nuala, so sweet. :)

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Top notch resort!!!

The resort was beautiful. Well maintained, clean. Service in all areas was wonderful. Food was delicious, I have food allergies and it wasn't a concern. At all meals I was accommodated. Would highly recommend.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Krystal Grand - Excellent accommodations

The staff was amazing. The Altitude upgrade was well worth it! Having your room access on your wrist bracelet was awesome, no more keeping track of your room key. I preferred eating in the buffet to the restaurants as it had more selection. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely go back.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Beautiful Resort

Hotel was clean, restaurants had good selection of food, service was wonderful. The grounds was well maintained We had a great 7 days. The beach was clean and the ocean was wonderful when the waves was not very strong.
