Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Unico, Mexico

We just returned from Unico in Mexico. Overall this was an excellent stay, the staff met us at the door upon arrival and handed us cool wet towels to refresh us, coming inside we were seated as staff members took our luggage to our room. We were given delicious drinks and briefly checked in with a few different staff members as well as our own personal contact Pascual who was our personal go to guy and checked in with us daily to ensure we were ok! The hotel its self spared no details, it was lu [... read more]xurious and amazing, such a boutique like feel with high end finishes. We were always drawn to look at something beautiful! The staff, what can I say they wouldn't even let me carry two plates without running to my side to assist me, even on the beach food and drinks were served to us and towels always laid on the loungers for us to sit, they worked their tails off to assist and please, they were amazing. Everyone always smiled, greeted and solved any issue you had without hesitation. The food was great, however a word of warning, my husband ate raw salmon at the buffet and ended up with a gastro intestinal issue ( going on a week now) BUT we did both eat the raw fish at the Japanese restaurant and both were fine, my assumption was the buffet salmon was sitting there a while ( lesson learned) The grounds were spectacular and the staff took great care to ensure it stayed that way. The tub on the balcony was utilized by us daily, such a great bonus. The entertainment was great and we got so many added bonus for staying at the resort such as spa services and excursions which were inclusive, as well as some paid options. Over all I would highly highly recommend this resort. We will definitely think about going back. The only one negative thing I will say is this, our welcome package was great it was informative and pleasant until the end when the lady tried to sell us on a brunch were we would get to see the new wing of the resort, she made it seem as if it was just a nice brunch with a small tour and then you would get a free gift - in other words they were trying to sell us on some type of time share which REALLY turned us off, she told us what time in the morning and we sort of smiled and nodded, we decided we didn't want to go and the staff called our room three times. My husband finally answered and told them no we were not interested and after some convincing they finally gave up and never bothered us again. For that reason we decided not to look into excursions to avoid running into the lady trying to sell us. It was a pity as everything else was so so well put together. I was there for my honeymoon not to be sold on a time share. We also told them we were on our honeymoon, we didn't expect special treatment but any means but they didn't go out of the way to do anything for us ( rose petals on the bed or what have you) That was a bit disappointing as you often hear of some Honeymoon perks! All in all it was a beautiful week away with great weather, beautiful views, pampering and relaxation. If you stay at Unico I doubt you will be disappointed.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Loved the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen

I loved the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen. We stayed there the week of March 18TH, 2019. The room was spacious and clean. The service was great, The food was excellent with a lot of choices. I loved the location with 5th ave right outside the door.

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa: Wonderful experience!!

We loved everything about this hotel!! The food was fantastic the staff wonderful everything was " a pleasure". The rooms were clean and well stocked. The grounds were beautiful many trees and flowering plants, and the sounds of the birds , so enjoyable!!!

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya: Beautiful Resort

Secrets Akumal is a beautiful resort located in Tulum - Riviera Maya. Please note anybody interested, this is almost 1.5 hour away from Cancun Airport. Kindly, factor that in based on your flight schedule. We were at the resort last week for an early anniversary trip and had a great time. It feels like you are in a rainforest with lush green surroundings and birds chirping everywhere. Occasionally, we even spotted Iguana (Huge Garden Lizard). This was our third trip to Mexico and hands down n [... read more]obody can match their level of service. Everything from restaurants to housekeeping is top notch. We really enjoyed dining at Market Cafe for breakfast and lunch. For dinner we preferred Portofino and Himitsu (they have enough choices for Vegan/Vegetarian/Seafood). Beach is beautiful with white sand and clear water - al lot of seaweed that cleaners are constantly clearing out. It's a great place if you enjoy snorkelling and other water sports. There is one point I would like to highlight - the beach is not as private as one would expect. In Mexico beaches are public and hence, you will see people from other resorts sitting right in front of you on the beach - really wish the resort staff can set some boundaries. For this reason alone, I would not want to return to this resort. Overall I give it 4.5 star rating (would be a full 5 star if the beach was even partly private)

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: The food!!!

The Fives Azul Beach Resort is THE place if you want to have delicious food. Every meal, with the exception of the buffet, was AMAZING. We didn't expect to have sushi in Mexico, but we visited the Oka restaurant twice because it was so good!! And the Italian restaurant was a 5-star too! and don't even get me started on the shrimp tacos at the beachside restaurant. Its also important to note the staff @ The Fives Azul were lovely and pleasant and always accommodating to our needs. The pools w [... read more]ere the cleanest I've ever swam in at an all-inclusive, and they worked hard on keeping the beach free of trash & seaweed. We 100% would return back to this resort as a family, and we are also looking forward to checking out other adults-only Karisma properties.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Quality Family time + Adventure = Goal Accomplished

From the moment we booked our trip until we returned, the trip central team and the resort ensured we were taken care of to achieve our goal = relaxation with a splash of adventure! Knowing we could ask rep any questions with confidence was invaluable. The resort breathtakingly clean and well maintained. The staff demonstrated that they cared repeatedly. The amenities were wonderful and kept our teenage kids moving and shaking when they wished or chilling when they needed it! The food  [... read more]was delicious. Our favourite restaurant was the a la cart Japanese - one word to describe - WOW! Overall, this is a great resort that is beautiful and luxurious, staffed by some of the hardest working people I have ever met, who prided themselves on taking care of the visitors. We wish we had everyone's name Antonio, Joshua, Samantha, Jacob to mention a few!

Grand Sunset Princess: Great Family Resort

This is our second trip back at the Grand Sunset Princess - March Break of 2018 and 2019! We loved the experience both times. The resort is immaculate, the service outstanding and this year there was a focus to keep the beach well groomed and sea weed free, which we all appreciated. Our kids, aged 4 and 6 also loved the nightly shows. We would highly recommend this resort.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico: A week in paradise

Beautiful modern and clean hotel. Excellent service and unbelievable food and drink options. Inclusive park access was an added bonus. Will certainly return at a later date and highly recommend to anyone looking for a 5* experience. Definitely worth the money!

The Fives Downtown Hotel: Amazing hotel, amazing service, amazing time!

Checked in to the BEAUTIFUL Five downtown and was blown away with the attention to detail and superior customer service. Didn’t do the all inclusive option because we really wanted to explore food options and didn’t know how good the hotel food was actually going to be... wrong move on our part. We should have had the all inclusive — The food was amazing! The service was some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere! Santiago was my favourite. So kind, warm and welcoming. Always wit [... read more]h a smile first thing in the morning... give him a raise give him a promotion! He deserves it :) The pool upstairs so beautiful so fun so comfortable. We spent most days there as the beach was a bit stinky and truthfully v douchy (and over priced) at most of the beach clubs... our pool was the best by far! Service at the pool so good too! Oh and the nachos at the pool are the best!!! Also the flank steak! Drooling 🤤 right now. Our room was beautiful of course, maid service so promt and consistent. 10/10 💅🏻🌴🌊😘

The Fives Downtown Hotel: So amazing! We can’t wait to go back!!

This was such an amazing place! We cannot believe how easy it was to book, travel and stay! We will definitely be using tripcentral next time we book flight and hotels! Thank you for making everything so easy!

Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: So clean you can eat off the floor

Every aspect of our experience was a 10/10. We felt very safe during our trip and the staff members were awesome! This was my girlfriend and my first trip out of canada/USA and we will definitely come back, that's a promise. Mucho garcias!!

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Advertised as 4.5-5.0 star, no way!

Everything, but for one very important thing, was outstanding. Our room was a complete disappointment. It seemed as if nothing had been done to rejuvenate it since its doors opened. I think it was clean, but was distracted by needing to jump into the middle of the bed to avoid sliding off the waterfall edge. The hotel staff could only offer one solution and that was to move us the following day to their sister resort, Catalonia Riviera Maya Puerto Adventuros (with a number of comps). It was [... read more] a sad goodbye to a most beautiful beach and the eco-preserved grounds and hello to a jammed packed pool and beach, with really lovely staff. Our room was an improvement and on the Privilege side, tucked at the end. We enjoyed our stay. It will hence be a one time visit.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya: Paradise

The Secrets Akumal was absolute paradise. We visited in mid March. The resort has incredible service, with a very dedicated and friendly staff. The rooms are extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The grounds are gorgeous, with very lush trees and plants throughout. There are three pools which are all very well maintained. The beach is gorgeous, and the staff keeps it clear of seaweed. There is snorkel gear available all day, and if you go early in the morning you can watch the turtles feed  [... read more]without swimming very far. The restaurants were all wonderful and the bars had a great selection of drinks. The coffee shop is lovely and has snacks available all day. The resort has a lot of activities, including a snorkel tour, kayak tour, paddle board tour, and a bike tour through Akumal which is about two hours and very worth doing! There are many fitness classes throughout the day including CrossFit, yoga, spin in the pool, and many others. I would go back again tomorrow if I could!

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Excellent resort

Lots of activities included. Different restaurants, very nice food. Very good service. The beach is kind of rocky, but bring the appropriate shoes so you can enjoy. Anyways, there are many other things to enjoy your time there.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: The Perfect Resort!

Where to begin! From the day we arrived it was paradise. The employees were always kind and helpful and would go out of their way to make your stay as excellent as possible. One fellow in particular, Marcello, who is a drink server on the beach was about the hardest working person I've ever met! He was so amazing! Luis in the Amarento Buffet was also always accommodating and even organized special beer pairings with dinners made especially for us by the phenomenal chef Roberto. The food in the b [... read more]uffet is excellent, with a wide variety for everyone. I have Celiac's Disease and they were very considerate of this. We brought our two children, and there are so many activities for them to do, including a kids club if the parents want some alone time. The pools are great, and so is the beach. I would recommend this resort to anyone!

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Disappointing and then average

We booked at the Catalonia Maroma. We were extremely disappointed with our room. It was old and grimy, dirty curtains, tiny bathroom, dingy, mattresses very old. We paid for the upgrade which cost us an additional220.00 and they had no upgraded rooms so we had to move resorts to the Catalonia Maya. The grounds were nice and the beach beautiful however, no palapa or palm trees for shade. The staff were very friendly. At the riviera the room was nice and staff very friendly. Resort was clean and f [... read more]ood was good

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Beautiful Bahía principe

This resort is very grand, the lobby and grounds are spectacular. We found that the service was professionally carried out by pleasant employees. The swimming pools are kept immaculate with no shortage of lounge chairs palapas and towels for comfort. We were delighted to be so close to the beach when we didn’t want to be by the pools. There was an amazing variety of cocktails available at the bar and a 24 hour snack bar by the beach which had a delicious assortment of foods as well as drinks [... read more]. The very well trained staff aimed to please and were always pleasant. The a la Carte restaurants provided an elegant change from the buffet restaurants; must book these in advance, well worth the short time it takes. I was a little disappointed with some of the evening entertainment and very disappointed that we had to pay for the great Mexican event in an all inclusive package. I was glad that I didn’t have to walk everywhere as the resort provides internal transport which is available readily. In our room we could hear some noise from the pool, but not enough to disturb us and never at night. I noticed that programs were provided for children and thought it would be a lovely safe resort to take my grandchildren to. Perhaps we will bring them with us next time.

Grand Riviera Princess: Incredible Resort

We just got back from 9 days at the Grand Riviera Princess. What a wonderful experience. This is our second trip in five years and we were thrilled to find the resort in excellent condition still. The pools are beautiful and there are party pool, quiet pools, swim up bars, a pirate ship pool for kids. There is a beautiful beach and the hotel does a great job keeping on top of the seaweed. The water is warm and there are many available loungers and bars and games to be played on the beach. Our ro [... read more]om was grand and perfectly serviced. We ate at different restaurants in the resort every night. We enjoyed the gym daily and loved the Pilates classes.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Amazing holiday!

This was our family’s first time at an all inclusive & we absolutely loved it! There are so many amenities for families & kids of all ages. You can be as relaxed or as active as you want! The resort & location is beautiful. Amazing holiday!

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Good resort

Overall experience was good. Cleanliness, staff and facility maintenance was in good shape. Need to include more of Vegetarian food as most of the vegetarian food has some sort of meat/fish in it so hard to find vegetarian food without meat. We had to request to Chef to cook food for us and they were friendly enough to make food for our choices but missing some spices to make it more tastier.
