Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Nice Resort - VERY large

The grounds were well kept. Food was excellent. The resort is nice but very large with lots of vegetation with a lot of wild animals. The resort is very spread out requiring a lot of walking. There are regular shuttles if you are not able to walk. Service was good. Would not recommend if you are looking for a beautiful beach. If you enjoy pools then this resort would suit you well. The black and white bar was excellent.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Decent, but not good for what it's meant to be

The grounds are amazing and there are so many animals around. A lot of activities for kids and a nice splash park. The multiple cenotes were the highlight. That said, everything else was less than impressive. The food is just ok (and mostly all lukewarm) and the service is far from good for a 4+ star resort. There always seemed to be a long line at the check in counter. The food at the a la carte restaurants was not much better than the buffet and I was outright refused service at the Brazilian  [... read more]restaurant by a terrible hostess. The hotel concierge tried to make up for it but at the end it was too late. Everyone seems to give conflicting information or non at all unless you press and ask more questions. Everyone seems to want to give the basic service but hardly anyone goes above and beyond. Our room was outdated, musty and no water pressure.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Wonderful resort and amazing beach

We stayed at the Lindo last week. Room decor was a bit dated but very clean. We didnt spend much time in room anyways. Beds are very comfortable. Staff are all very helpful and extremely friendly. The entertainment group was fun and encouraged participation from our teenagers. We had the best stretch of the beach by far. Most other resorts have coral in front and are not suitable for swimming. They do a very good job at clearing the washed up seaweed each day to keep the beachfront clea [... read more]n. The water is clear and no coral for a long stretch so the swimming is great. Food was great with lots of variety. I would recommend this place for families with small children or teens.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya: Fantastic resort

This hotel is wonderful. There is a wide variety of restaurants which allowed us to try a different restaurant every day of our stay. The food was always delicious and they clearly care a great deal about making sure everything is both tasty and well-presented. They don't have a lot of vegetarian options, but they're clearly working on it and have more than other places we've been. The pools are great too - they have a couple of pools with more noise and activities, but they also have a beauti [... read more]ful one that's the designated quiet pool for peaceful lounging. The poolside drink service is top notch. They don't provide straws due to the local sea turtle population, so we brought our own reusable metal ones which worked great. Speaking of sea turtles, we saw four of them snorkeling off the beach, so they're definitely around. The location allows for day trips to Mayan sites, including Tulum and Chichen Itza, which are worth visiting. Overall, we had an incredible time.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Absolutely Beautiful Resort!

This hotel was beautifully designed. Each space was well thought out to make it amazing ! From the marble floors to the water features everywhere you walked.Beach was so pretty , white sand and snorkeling with turtles ! Service was great, food was delicious. I highly recommend visiting here .I would go back again.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Iberostar

Pros: Beautiful grounds, room was clean, staff were welcoming and always willing to help. Pool area always had available chairs. Entertainment was good. Cons: Like many other "all inclusive" hotels the food was mediocre at best. There were options for vegetarians/vegans however when the concierge assured me that the "a la carte" restaurant had "options" she essentially meant that all of them had the typical "salad bar". Trust me when I say that vegetarians/vegans get tired pretty quick of th [... read more]e "salad bar". Mixed drinks were pre-made blends mixed with alcohol which is done for speed and convenience (I understand that). Tour company for excursions were over priced. With the knowledge of the price of gas, the cost of food and of wages...a 200 USD excursion for one person seemed a bit exorbitant. Will be returning to Mexico again to explore other areas.

Grand Sunset Princess: Such a lovely Resort

The Grand Sunset Princess is a beautiful, clean, hospitable resort. The beaches were clean with lots of comfy seating and entertainment. I wish the main eating facilities were a bit closer to the center of the resort but the walk was pleasant from our room to the lobby The food was delicious and plentiful The service was fast and friendly We would love to stay with this resort again some day it is 100 out of 100 for us

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Amazing resort, beautiful in every way!

Sandos Playacar resort was amazing in every way!! We loved the gorgeous beaches and pools! The adult areas were superior and the staff were so friendly and professional. The restaurants were amazing too and every meal was so delicious! Not one complaint here. We loved it and cannot wait to go back!!

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: The most amazing vacation

We loved this resort. The beach, the food, the staff, the pools, the rooms, on & on & on. Mostly we loved our butler Gustavo. What a pleasant & helpfull man. “Same time next year”!!! By the way the “Diamond Club” is the only way to go!!!

Allegro Playacar: A great place to relax!

Beautiful, clean, quiet, resort. Beach is lovely. Lots of good food. Lovely atmosphere. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation this is the place. Also has a good location that is within easy distance to do day trip to see ruins at Tulum and Coba.

Grand Sunset Princess: Nice Resort - No Complaints!

Overall this was a very nice place to stay. Two resorts in one - the Sunset and the Riviera - facing each other. People wander from one to the other using pools, beach areas, and eating establishments. The food at the buffet is good - enough variety on a daily basis to find something appetizing and filling. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bars rarely had lineups and I did not notice a difference between them. The pools are nice and get to a warm temperature by mid-afternoon. They are not t [... read more]raditional pools (no laps) but rather meandering waterways throughout the resort. There are small wading pools as well for the little ones. No bugs when I was there. Lots of wildlife - too bad some visitors cannot read the signs and feed them. My room was great, had everything I needed and was cleaned every day. Had nightly entertainment - show at 8:30 in theatre and live music around 9:30.

Grand Sunset Princess: Excellent Bang for the Buck

The resort is less than an hour from the airport. It's meticulously maintained. Service is great. Very short line ups at the bars and restaurants. We loved how the boardwalk to the beach typically had wild life singing in the trees including monkeys.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Beautiful spot!

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda. The first room they put us in was terrible. There was only one bed despite the fact that we booked for two beds. The room was filled with mosquitoes and smelled very moldy. We arrived late and had to stay in this room for one night until they could switch us the next day. That night the air conditioner leaked onto the floor all night and we woke up to a flooded room. It wasn't an awesome first impression. The next day we got moved to build [... read more]ing 5, and we had no more problems. Our room was good, and we were happy with the location. We genuinely enjoyed our vacation and would consider going back to this spot again. The food was great in the main buffet, and in the buffet down by the pool. Some of the a la carte restaurants weren't the best, but it didn't really matter.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Grand Oasis Tulum

Hotel was clean. Beautiful area, but beach had alot of algae. Since this resort is a family resort, it was not the best for 3 single ladies travelling together. It announces dancing every night...at 11 pm sorry but no one there dancing. Buffet closed 2 nights during the week, so it caused long line ups for supper for the 3 restaurants. Staff were very accommodating to all requests. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone but families.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very good experience

Overall, we had a very good experience at this resort. The food in the main buffet was good, without being great. The speciality restaurants we ate in were very good. Although this resort does not have a beach, you get access to the beach at the other resorts in the complex via free shuttles than run almost continuously between the 3 resorts. The pools are large and clean. We liked a lot of the entertainment that was put on before the main shows. We only attended the one main show (Michael Jacks [... read more]on) and it was okay. The best aspect of this resort is the staff. Everyone was super friendly and always seemed to ne happy.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: The best vacation spot ever!!

This was the best resort we have ever stayed at. We typically vacation once a year, but it’s only our second time bringing our kids (8&4yo) We all had a blast, it exceeded all of your expectations. The pools were perfect and there were a lot of areas to choose from. The kids splashpads were perfect. The resort was busy, but we always found a spot for the day. The beach was beautiful as well and the sand was soft. We didn’t book any of the a la cartes, (although our friends did and bragged  [... read more]about how good they were) but we stuck to the buffets and we’re very happy with the variety and quality. There was a lot of walking so we definitely worked our big meals off. As if the basics of an all inclusive weren’t enough, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of extras around the resort. The kids loved the bowling ally and the arcade. We watched the dolphins and the kids got henna tattoos. We are planning on making the trip again with our entire extended family within the next few years. It was top notch in every single way.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Great vacation

We had a lovely time at Hilton Royal Playa del Carmen, We loved the location, the hotel, the food, but the most prized commodity are the people that work there! All of them were outstanding, our room was cleaned every day, there was always a cute animal waiting on our bed, my clothes folded carefully!! The food was tasty, a bit repetitive, but always tasting great, drinks were great too, the hotel is just the right size, not to big, not too small, just perfect! They are upgrading the resort, [... read more] witch is needed, especially the rooms, as the decor is outdated, but clean! Would be nice to have some liquor in your room, but not that essential. Would like to add more shade at swimming pool, not nearly enough!! Want to mention Claudio at the Pelicanos restaurant, Inna at the hotel lobby, both of them very knowledgeable, extremely helpful, in my opinion a great asset to the hotel, thank you!! We will be happy to see you again in the near future!!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: A Solid 4*Resort

We were impressed with the well kept grounds, clean pools, hardworking, attentive and courteous staff, above average food, and our accommodation. We were disappointed with our location close to the main pool. It was very loud from 11:00am to 5pm. We wish we had researched a little more before booking.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Will definitely be back!!

AMAZING resort!! Everything was top notch. Good for all groups from girls trip all the way to family vacation. Resort was impeccably clean. Food quality and variety was great. Staff and room were great. Pools and splash area from kids was so fun! Beach is beautiful! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Something For Everyone

This resort is a quiet resort that is adjacent to several very busy resorts that you can investigate. Adults only and not on a beach, it has several pools and even though it was high season, there were plenty of chairs. There are trolleys that are frequent to take you to the other resorts and an adults only beach area. The excursions are expensive, we went on a day long trip to Coba, Tulum and then to a cave. It was great. Food was excellent and the service was generally very good.
