Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Has everything you need

The hotel was well kept and had lots of options for food and entertainment. Since the resort is a little ways from the city center it’s nice for these options to be available. Great resort if you have a family with children as they have a large water park area with slides and activities and also a separate area for adults who prefer the more quiet experience.

Grand Palladium Colonial: Very enjoyable Rivera Maya Vacay

We really enjoyed the Grand Palladium Resort. Three hotels in one compound. Lots of choices to eat, drink and swim. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were very clean and there was lots of wildlife on the pathways too.

The Fives Downtown Hotel: Amazing hotel

The hotel was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, the staff treated me like I was worth more!, the food was out of this world tasty and fresh, I will return to that hotel again and will recommend all my friends to stay there in the future, I wish I could have stayed longer,

Excellence Riviera Cancun: Beautiful place-poor front desk service

We arrived at the hotel and were informed the swim up suite we had booked was not available. We were provided an “upgrade” to a regular room. We were told we would be moved the next day. Despite our strong negative reaction, the front desk person just shrugged. Management was not informed until we had a major melt down after waiting in our room the next day for 3hours, no information was provided. We continually had to call the front desk and speak to a new person, each time we were told 20  [... read more]minutes. Then, we’d have to call them back... it was very frustrating and was a very negative start. They eventually had a manager speak to us and provided a 25 minute massage. Sorry, but it was not enough. The rest of our holiday was good. The food was just ok, very salty. Staff were very nice.

Riu Palace Mexico: Yes it is a great resort!

The staff and ground staff were all excellent. Everyday things looked prestine. The buffet had great selection and we were all very content. The steak house had very good steak which I had not really expected in these areas. The other Alcarts we did not visit as you had to have long pants,and I would think dress type shorts would be fine with most people. Weather was the best I have enjoyed in many years, have stayed at this RIU about 5 times and the surrounding RIU's another 6or 7 times.  [... read more]Overall was an excellent vacation from the snow.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

Everything at the resort was absolutely wonderful. Loved the stay and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely refer to friends and family and may even visit again in the future.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Good resort

We traveled with our toddler. It was close to the airport. The resort was small which I really enjoyed. The pools where amazing for accommodating all needs. The food was ok. I defiantly expect better food in Mexico. I wanted fresh amazing fish and guacamole and it wasn’t often found. The rooms were huge and clean. We had booked a king bed and we were very disappointed when we got there and received very tiny double beds. They said we “requested a king”. We were also told we receiv [... read more]e $200 in a resort credit, they give you a discount book and high pressure tactics to have you book treatments. The staff was very friendly, however I felt a lot of pressure to tip. Overall I enjoyed the resort but my husband did not.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Wouldn’t stay again!

The hotel wasn’t great. There was no hot water, the power shut off one day at resort, the food was awful and the beach was full of seaweed. Defiantly was disappointed. Wasn’t easy to get into the a la Carte restaraunts and the buffets were packed. Not a happy customer

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing vacation !

To begin Marnie was an amazing agent. She was extremely helpful through the whole process and her recommendation of the resort was right on! The resort was amazing and was everything she promised it would be. It was beautiful with amazing food and service. Definitely five star.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Great resort - Royalton fit program gets an A+

This resort delivers on all levels, accessiblility, greening and mostly non smoking with the accept ion of designated areas. Very friendly service oriented staff - that just want to please - restaurants that I tried were Zen (Asian) Hunter (steak) Agave (Mexican) all very good! Moreover the Royalton fit program was an added bonus and the reason we chose this resort - wanting to maintain our routines we really wanted a well rounded fitness experience, boot camp classes, kickboxing, and spin clas [... read more]ses were my go too along with the sunrise yoga - which is worth the 7:00 am wake up! They also have cross fit and cardio an classes for those who are interested. Trainers Isis, Ariel and Francesco deserve s shot out - they push with a smile! Our room was comfortable and modern - shout out to Margarita who took good care of us and our room - I will definitely return - For those who walk the beach note - there is a lot of sea grass on the beach which hinders walking during high tide time - best walks are between 10 and 2

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing Resort - Operational Goals Very Suspect

We have enjoyed the Barcelo Maya Resorts four times in the last ten years. We enjoy the beach, the buffets are good and and a la cart are okay. Holidays are for relaxing - our last stay was NOT. Between the PHISH Concert and The HEADBANGERS - Electronic Music (EMD) Concert we were woke up FIVE nights of the nine nights by roady drunk rude concert participants roaming the halls of our building once the performance(s) were over. Multiple calls to front desk to send security were placed each [... read more] of the five nights . I was told by Miranda the PHISH concert was happening after our booking was confirmed - NOT HAPPY. Why would you subject two people in their sixties to this scene. Staff told me that events are booked like this through out the whole season. Trip Central and Barcelo are both suspect in their business dealings in subjecting clients to this scene. The resort was really empty compared to other times we have enjoyed the facilities. I will be posting on trip advisor and writing to both Trip Central Management and Barcelo Mangement about our lousy experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Not so luxury

This resort actually was highly recommended to us. We do travel a lot and I have to say, for us it was not the luxury we expected. The grounds were beautiful and very well kept. The staff is nice and accommodating. The rooms need some updating, especially the bathrooms. The beach is perfect for little kids. I like to swim out a bit but that is not possible since the water only reaches your waist if you are lucky. It is kind of fenced off since the waves are very high.The water however is cr [... read more]ystal clear. They have a mexican celebration evening but you have to pay to attend which was very disappointing. We refused to do so since it was quite expensive. We figured at a luxury hotel this should be included. The food was ok, for everyone something but no wow factor either. The shuttle buses between the resorts are a nice touch. All in all, i would not consider this resort a 5* Luxury

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Crappy Resort - False Advertisment

If you like a pool party drinker resort with 20 somethings running around drunk all hours this is your resort. I go for beaches and this one was fill with rotting seaweed with flies. I fell completely ripped off. The beach was filled with a strong odor of rotting fishy seaweed. It made you want to gag. I took pictures to provide proof. They had 1 or 2 workers trying to combat the problem with rakes and wheel barrows but this made no different. You would think for a resort this size and suppos [... read more]edly classy. They would have a machine like the other resorts to clean this stuff up. This forced people into the pools. These were kind of kept by staff. They would just add approximate amounts of chemicals to the pool. My daughter got sick. Was is from the pool or the fact hand sanitizer was not used by guests when entering the dining area? She was sick enough that when we arrived at the airport on our way home she threw up blood. This as parent is a super scary thing to see, especially in a foreign country. BLOOD ..Let that sink in I would never in a million years recommend this place to anyone other then party college kids.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Awesome Resort

Incredible service; friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely detailed to customer service staff. The swim-up room was an absolute luxury. Very modern and relaxed atmosphere. The beach was a little bit of a walk however the main pools more than made up for this small inconvenience.

Riu Yucatan: Awesome time

We stayed at the Riu Yucatan from February 15 till March 1-2019 We arrived about 11:30 pm and check in was quick and simple. Rooms are a little small where we were, but you don't spend much time in them. Our maid was great left us a little towel animal pretty much every day for the first week,. In the front lobby for the first week we did not have drink service at your table which was no big deal. But the second week we had great service from Karen. We ate pretty much every day at the buffet,  [... read more]lots of choices food was great and plenty of it. What i did notice was at breakfast they dont custom make your omelets. They have 2 different pools you can go to, one a little more quiet and one that is hopping. We stayed at the quiet one and also on the beach, you will have no trouble finding shade if that is what you need. Staff at the entertainment bars were great. I would recommend this resort. Thanks,

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Decent & Enjoyable

The BP Akumal was a very good place to call home for a week. The accommodations were reasonable (beds a little to be desired though - at least in our unit. They were twin beds and not comfortable); property overall very good - everything was easy to walk to and close; you could always find a lounger on the beach; staff very friendly and accessible. The food, especially in the main buffet restaurant, was very good. There was plenty to choose from and delicious. We would have only 2 things that we [... read more] didn't like about the resort (apart from the beds). 1) Although we tried to book our a la carte restaurants as soon as we got there, everything was pretty much gone (unless we wanted to eat dinner at 10pm - which we didn't!. and sometimes that wasn't even an option). We had to settle for 4 a la carte nights out of the 7 nights we were there. The Mexican option is poor - stick with the buffet for dinner. Also, 3 of the 4 options for a la carte dining were not on our property - we had to go over to the Coba resort for 2 of them; the other was up at the Sian Kaan (Japanese restaurant). The only one that we could get on our property was the Italian. All the a la carte dining were top drawer (again - except the Mexican). Our 2nd concern was the beach with the lack of ocean access. Your only option is to swim in three tiny lagoons that they have marked off. The water does not get any deeper than waist height. This would be an issue if you have children as they will become quickly bored - there's no playing in the waves, etc. Your only access to the ocean are these little lagoons - and they are filled with people between 10am-5pm. My wife loves to swim and had to go down very early in the morning for a short swim as no one was in the water yet. It was a short swim because of the size of the lagoon - not because of time. Other than those few issues, the resort is very good and we'd be happy to go back. I'd give it a 4.25 out of 5.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Enjoyed my stay.

I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The food was fine and the beach was fabulous. For me though, the evening shows were hit and miss but I was there for the day time. All in all, a good week.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Beautiful!

We had an awesome experience for our first all inclusive destination holiday! The resort was beautiful, food was great, and the staff was amazing! We would recommend this resort to our family and friends.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Exceptional treatment of clients

I will start off by saying there are no negative comments on anything in particular but there's one thing that really stood out for me. My friend got an ear-complication after diving. Woke up at 2am and went to concierge. They immediately arranged transport for him with security to the medical centre. While there, the security guard stayed with him (a good 40mins) while he received treatment. Afterwards, he made sure my friend got back to his room and the next day, we were able to get the medic [... read more]ation the nurse had prescribed from the on-site pharmacy. It didn't stop there. While we were enjoying our meal at the Mediterranean restaurant (fantastic meal - highly recommend the lamb), a representative from the medical team stopped by our table. She came to check up on my friend and asked if he needed anything else. That means, a) they couldn't find us in our room, b) they went through all the trouble of tracking us down since we had booked our reservation, c) came all the way to check on us. That, to me, was incredibly impressive and I highly recommend this resort for their quick response, personal treatment, and follow through with their guests. Also, the food was amazing. :)

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Great family vacation spot

This resort ticked many boxes for our group. Food, pools, service, location. All very good. Lots of wildlife which my child loved. Small downside would be the beach as the water is rocky and there was a lot of seaweed but no other complaints aside from that.
