Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: fantastic resort -

This hotel was amazing, very clean and loads of food options to choose from. The beach had a little seaweed but was quickly cleaned up. Entertainment was great in the evening and daytime always had stuff going on - drinks are great and staff are very friendly

Riu Playacar: Great Resort!

Enjoyed very much staying in this resort! Great food, very well kept resort grounds. Attentive and great customer service at the desk. Rooms are very clean and resort looks like new (not sure how old). Very safe place to stay at, was able to go for a walk to the town of Playa Del Carmen. Resort staff was tiresly working on taking care of the see weeds on the beach and it was the cleanest beach, compared to other resorts. Would go back any time and definitely would recommend this resort to all my [... read more] coworkers and friends.

Riu Yucatan: JUST WHAT WE NEEDED.

Excellent resort. Very clean, beautiful large beach, delicious food, great service. Also perfect size resort. Not oversized which is great. The chill pool was an excellent idea. Relaxing, quiet. Would recomend definitely.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: This resort is HUGE!

The grounds are very large, bring comfortable shoes to get around. The food was great for the most part; the chicken wings in the pool buffet were excellent! Xavier, the Yoga instructor at the Gym, was just terrific (9:00am) and the spa water treatment was great too (we did a day pass). The only irksome thing we found was people putting towels on the lounge chairs and never coming back to use them. This is NOT acceptable people. If you are going to reserve a chair you must also leave a perso [... read more]nal item (book, hat, etc) to indicate that you WILL come back, otherwise the towel doesn't count. Generally the staff are great, the shows are actually really good (the singers and dancers are the best I've experienced at a resort). The rooms could have been re-stocked better. I went with 2 other couples and they had amenities (bathroom stuff) that we never laid eyes on. Also, asked for a face cloth, got it, but didn't ever get a new one. The above are just cranky comments, otherwise the place is great and would recommend.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing resort and service!

Everything was so clean and very well maintained. We have recommended this resort to all of our family and friends! We will be booking some more time at this resort in the near future! Food was absolutely amazing. Hard to find in a lot of resorts. Very accommodating. Beautiful views on every corner of this resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful resort and great value!

Sian Ka'an is a beautiful resort. The grounds are well kept and lush and the buildings are very well maintained. The beach is not the nicest I've seen but they do the best they can with what they have. However, the pools are lovely and numerous which makes up for the beach. Plus the attentive lounge side service can't be beat. The Lobby Bar was my favourite morning spot for latte / tea in the morning. They have an unusually wide variety of quality loose leaf and bagged teas which was awesome f [... read more]or me and my boyfriend was happy with the lattes made to his specification. The rooms were large and nicely appointed. Only real downside was that the A/C was loud but you got used to it. Really enjoyed the food...especially the a la carte restaurants (both at Sian Ka'an and the sister Bahia resorts). Favourites were Alux (Sian Ka'an), Arlequin (Akumel) and Tequila (Tulum). The buffet was good. There were items that were repeated daily (or things very similar) but the selection was broad and as long as you rotated through the offerings, you didn't get bored. Another great thing about the resorts was the staff. Unfailingly friendly and helpful. Most were great...those that were not great, were still good...so no complaints there. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed my 9 day stay and would happily come back. Definitely a lot of value for what you pay. I'm actually considering a family vacation next at one of the sister resorts in a couple of years.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Amazing Resort Catalonia Royal Tulum

We loved the CRT because of the beautiful beach and pool, amazing service, cleanliness of the rooms and grounds, service and food. If you are seeking a quiet and relaxing vacation then this is the place. We will return for sure!

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: No bech in this hotel...

I would not recommend it to anyone. Room, food was good. Service was excellent . Pool,to many people, as I indicated not for retired people. We would not go beck there, because wee could not swim in the Ocean.

Ocean Maya Royale: very nice resort

my wife and I just spent a week at this resort, it was great. staff is very friendly and fun, food is good and rooms are very well kept. little disappointed with the seaweed on the beach but its expected this time of the year, it cleared up completely on our 4th day so that made up for it. we would definitely recommend this resort ( and have) to friends.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Fantastic Resort

Best resort I have experienced in the 10+ years we have gone to the Cancun area. Top notch service and consistant service/entertainment. Very clean resort, pool, room, restaurants. Do not like the requirement to write at least 200 characters.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing resort.

Just returned from our 7th visit to this resort. I think this says it all. We are beach people so cannot really comment on the pools. The beach is wonderful and we never have problems finding a lounger on the beach at any time during the day. On most days seaweed washes up on the beach (seems to be a problem at most resorts in the Mayan Riviera) but resort staff diligently clean up the seaweed daily and it does not pose any problems. One can always find something good to eat at eith [... read more]er the buffets or a-la-cartes. Service is generally good and rooms are spacious and comfortable. The only negative is the nightly entertainment at the theatres. The entertainment staff work hard but the quality of the shows seems to be worse every year.

Tukan Hotel Playa Del Carmen: Exactly what we expected

Our two weeks spent at El Tucan Hotel we’re just as expected. The location was perfect, the staff were amazing, and the breakfasts were yummy. We would go back again anytime. If you go there say hello to Ramon For us

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great resort

This place was very nice. The food was great, grounds well kept, rooms very nice but showing age. I would definitely return. The beach is not the greatest but usable. The only thing I found strange was that there was no server on beach or at pool for the bar, first time I seen this at a resort

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Yes to Barcelo

Staff were very friendly, grounds appeared to be very clean and exceptionally well kept, food was excellent with lots of variety. Only slight criticism was the bathroom in our room had some mold/mildew around the handles in the bathtub.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Fantastic Resort !!!!

Food, resort, accomodations and the service was 5 star / awesome. We will definitely return again next year. We HIGHLY recommend Blue Bay Cancun. Best server was named Eric (steakhouse)......top notch service!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Loved it all!

This was our first visit to Mexico and most certainly won’t be our last. This resort was a perfect, luxury adults only experience! The resort was nice and quiet and if we wanted evening entertainment, there was tons available at the other resorts. The food was fabulous, the service was impeccable and the golf was glorious! We will definitely visit this resort again!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Exceeded expectations!!

Amazing pool options, beach is fantastic, proximity to airport is perfect. Large property so a little confusing at first, but you quickly learn to orient yourself. Lots of food and bar options. Staff are friendly and engaging.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Amazing

Absolutely gorgeous and very well looked after!! Staff were all very friendly. Would love to return!! Lots of Entertainment Signed up for catamaran trip at the building by the pool area. That was rather poor and would not do again. Catamaran was way too small and uncomfortable. Staff were awesome tho.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Met expectations

Overall my trip went really well, as I researched some tips about the hotel before arriving. Knowing how to get around on the trolleys, and bringing a powerbar was very useful, as well signing up for the 3 allotted dinner reservations upon arrival. Also the cheaper costing internet ($9 US) was excellent, though I had to talk to the front desk how to get it, as the prompt for it went away after the initial signing on the free wifi. The front desk was helpful for our few concerns, and the app was  [... read more]also useful to inform housekeeping of what we needed. The grounds were very nice and the sprinkler water does have an odor, but very likely from being standing water somewhere. The beach was very good, I don't expect a perfectly clear-of-seaweed beach as it is part of nature but they (very slowly) worked at clearing sections. The food was good, surprisingly the fish buffet dishes were excellent, desserts were lackluster, but I had something good to eat everyday. Cozumel, don Pablo and Portafino restaurants were adequate, though I wasn't blown away. Don Pablo had the best service. I was definitely consider coming back, for the right price.

Grand Sunset Princess: Wonderful vacation!

My husband and I had such a great week at GSP. Weather was perfect and the resort was absolutely beautiful. Pros to this resort: Absolutely gorgeous grounds. Kept up so nicely. We barely saw any garbage or a thing out of place. Everything was very clean. We has a swim out room and I highly recommend it! The resort was big, but we enjoyed walking and getting in some exercise. We both liked the size of the resort. The entertainment was great. Entertain staff was super fun and the nighttime [... read more] shows were fun. Downsides: Not your resort if you want a beautiful beach. Honestly, the beach isn't that bad...it is just very seaweed filled which didn't bother is too much but it's not that gorgeous white sand, turquoise watered beach. Not the resorts fault of course! It was still nice to hang out on Food: Our review for the food is kind of neutral. For a resort, it wasn't bad. For a 5 star resort in Mexico, we did expect a bit better. The lunch and dinner buffets were not great. Breakfast was hit and miss. The ala cartes were pretty good. We enjoyed the steak house, the french, the teppenyaki, the seaweed, and the Italian. We didn't enjoy the Mexican. However, at every restaurant, and desserts were terrible. :( Ive had better desserts at every other resort (even far less than 5 star) we have ever been to. That was disappointing. There wasn't a ton to do a night, but that's not a big deal. A quiet night isn't the end of the world! The WORST thing about this resort....which isn't really the resorts fault.....the smoke!! Smokers everywhere. It was overwhelming and stinky. I wish there was designated smoking areas. Especially for a family resort, not nice. Overall, we had an amazing time. Loved the staff, Shout out to Manuel from sunset breakfast buffet. Miss it already!!
