Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Excellent Family Resort!

Resort was clean, staff super friendly and so many great activities for all ages. The Kids club was a huge hit! We have been to a few places as a large group with kids over the years and so far this resort was our favorite!

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Adequate not excellrnt

The staff were good and friendly. The food was particularly bad, The cooked meat was tough to eat. I would not return nor trvord this. Place. Saw d number of people fall on the slippery tile floors. Several appreared serious falls! The pools and beach were very good and easily accessible , clean and well maintained.

El Dorado Casitas Royale: El Dorado casitas Royale

check in at the hotel was great very fast, received luggage very fast after check in, grounds and area was very clean service of staff was excellent, very was excellent nd well presented and the service staff were very friendly and helpful if you needed anything.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Very relaxing !!

This was our first time in Mexico and it was beautiful !The food was very good and lots of selection. My husband has a cane due to a recent knee replacement so our room was on the ground floor to make things easier for him. The ocean was warm and the sunrise was spectacular! I would be happy to recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Excellent Resort!

The resort was fantastic overall. Was safe all the time. The staff are friendly, helpful and so accommodating. We enjoyed the morning, afternoon and evening activities. The food were delicious. The restaurants has wonderdul service and the food are exemplary. Would definitely go back. We love the beach. The morning zumba and the yoga is my fave! We highly recommend this resort!

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Gorgeous Resort

Pros; Wonderful resort. Great restaurants. Best Buffet ever. Have stayed at Riu’s, Iberostar’s,Bahias, Palladium’s and Barcelo’s. The H10 chain of resorts are the best. We stayed at the Paradise last year. Also, excellent. Staff fabulous! Always cheerful, helpful, and would go the extra mile for any requests. Cons: Need more elevators in the far reaching blocks 1000-3000. Getting older and the knees and hips aren’t what they used to be. Had to walk from the 3000-5000 block from [... read more] the 4th floor to take one. Too far, especially at the end of the day. However, will definitely be back. Room also, was beautiful!

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Excellent vacation!!!!

We booked this resort last minute, and it was an excellent choice! The room was pretty and modern but still had a tropical feel, it was very clean. The check in was quick and the bell boy was friendly and informative as he drove us to our room. The drinks were delicious, seriously yummy!!! And the service everywhere was the best. It is a huge resort so we could always find a quiet corner. Even the other travelers we met were friendly and interesting but not intrusive. The beach is beautiful,  [... read more]and it has a couple of shallow areas great for little ones or people who take a little longer to get comfortable in the ocean (I’m a bit of a chicken) but once you do it’s pretty shallow quite a ways out. You will need water shoes, it’s a small inconvenience to prevent your foot from getting hurt. But seriously as nervous as I was I loved the beach and we spent most of our days there. There is wait service on the beach, and those girls work their buts off (seriously tip your servers) we would order 2 drinks at a time and drink one and put the other in a to go coffee cup (bring one on every all inclusive) Love the beach. The quiet pool was another good spot, you feel surrounded by jungle and there is lots of shade, great spot if you need rest from too much vacation. The lazy river and ice cream parlour were bothe delightful!!! Just awesome!!! Oh ant the 2 person jacuzzi tub in every room was delightful. Now the stuff that wasn’t the best. The food.... The buffet was, well buffet. Everything is kinda plain and over cooked but there was a few good items every night. Some of my favourites were, the salmon, the wings (delicious) I can live off bread and cheese and there was some every meal, all the fresh fruit especially pineapple!!! And desserts are always good. The biggest disappointment was the Mexican food, it was not good, it was bad. Just bland and soggy and it all had soooo much refried beans and it was all you could taste. This is something I think the resort should fix ASAP. The specialty restaurants were only mildly better. We went to the steakhouse, my salmon was over cooked, my BF steak was good but they just had a buffet of sides similar to the buffet. It was ok. The Brazilian.... it was ok, they served the chicken wings from the buffet but stuck them on the squewer but after they were done so they were mangled chicken wings??? The other meats were ok but they only give you a small piece of each, the sausage is the same from the beach bar b q.... just not terrible but not great. The last one was the Japanese, just a little to salty otherwise good,and the cooks were entertaining, dessert was fried ice cream. Not exactly Japanese but really good. Another miss step was although the rooms were beautiful the mattress was bad the springs were very pokey and my BF is a tosser and turner and always manages to wreck the bed and ours had a huge stain... like I’m pretty sure someone was murdered or gave birth.... again something that needs to be fixed, the maid did give us a mattress cover.....(I understand some people would throw a fit in this situation but really the mattress had been cleaned, and what’s the point, you might get a different room? It’s gross but it was fine) We loved all the wild life so cool to see iguanas and Coati, there are monkeys but we didn’t see them..... but the cats 😕 I love cats I really do and it is genius to bring cats to the resort to keep away rats and mice... but some of these little kitties were in rough shape, and were way to thin. They also need to be fixed, there was several kittens, and the population could get out of hand quickly. These cats are not feral and like a little attention but do not pick them up, just a couple of pets on the head and We gave them fish and chicken when we could. And they do bite when scared so keep your kids away. Don’t go to the travel club presentation no matter what they offer you it’s a waste of your day. Just don’t! Well there is so much more but I’ll end this here. I would recommend this resort to families and couples, and party people!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful

Food was awesome! Buffets and the a la carte restaurants had outstanding food selections. Great service. Beautiful facilities. Clean. Easy to access all the different venues. Would return tomorrow.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very nice resort

Resort was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly. Food was good. Not on the beach, but the beach was a short walk away. Royal Golden Lobby Bar staff were very attentive, even brought drinks to the pool for us. Try the Mexican Guiness!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful resort

It’s location is away from the beach in the “jungle” the setting is amazing - lovely winding pathways through natural trees and plants. All kinds of birds singing. Wonderful swimming pools. Shuttles to beach and restaurants were fun and no waiting. Food was terrific and the service was excellent . Planning for next year already

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Very nice resort

The resort was very clean, eco friendly which is important to me. Friendly//helpful staff, good food, nice rooms, pools nicely maintained, beach was nice and the entertainment was great. I loved that there were lots of wildlife free to roam the resort. My only concern was a few had been caged, and they didn’t seem to have much room or greenery etc (upsetting).. I hope this is something the resort considers to change. Example deer, few birds and farm animals. Overall a wonderful  [... read more]time

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Excellent resort

I traveled with my elderly parents the last week in January 2019. When deciding on a resort I specified that I wanted a smaller resort with easy beach, pool and restaurant access and Nicole Deforest recommended this resort. We were extremely pleased with everything! Clean, friendly staff, excellent food, easy access. I would very much recommend this hotel.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Great value

Stayed at the Grand palladium in Akemal January 2019.Very well maintained resort with lots of pathway options. Very safe feeling resort. Shows have been updated this year with a great dance troop providing entertainment. most nights. The paths through the mangroves are like a free eco adventure so slow down and pay attention. Food was plentiful with lots of choices. Rooms were lovely and the beach had good sandy areas and fish to see. especially late afternoon. Not a party resort.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Nice resort.

Grounds very nice an clean, well maintained. Nice, relaxing public areas (especially the one by the main lobby). Clean rooms, but facial tissues Not provided! We would expect from this kind of resort complimentary fridge refill and free safety box. There was only one complimentary bottle of water per person upon arrival and empty fridge. Additional water available at high price in the lobby store. Standard buffet with No organic choices. Butter replaced with margarine. Dress code fo [... read more]r ala carte restaurants required on website but not enforced at all, same with kids age limitation posted on the sign at the main pool. On the positive side there were sufficient amount of lounge chairs around the pool as well as on the beach. So you could find the lounge chair even around 10 -11am. Staff helpful and friendly.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Beautiful resort... very organized... clean and great service and staff #1

Would recommend to friends and family...will return. Great scenery Well kept... very organized & awesome staff & great entertainment we hope to come back next year. Beautiful beach & very friendly staff in every area .Pools are amazing & fun games, yoga & volleyball games to play . Want a special thanks to our pool waiters Lucy and Cesar 😄👍

El Dorado Seaside Suites: Disappointing, Read carefully.

Be careful when booking this hotel. We booked for the El Dorado Seaside Suites and were put on the Sensimar side which was the older and dated resort. We had to pay an additional 500 dollars to be moved into the proper room. Trip central has been poor at helping us resolve this issue. Disappointed and would be hesitant to book with Trip central again.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Wonderful resort

This resort is just beautiful, well kept and very clean. We really have not one bad thing to say about this resort. Food was amazing at buffet and all the a la carte, along with the service. Staff is very friendly and helpful! Great resort

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Pretty much perfection!

The Barcelo may seem large but because it is made up by 5 smaller resorts put together, you have the benefits of accessing the other resorts' ammenities and the total beach is huge and offers different options from clear sand and water to coral for snorkeling. As well since it is in a cove, the water is somewhat calmer than more open areas. The food is exceptional including the buffets where fresh fruit, veggies and Mexican favourites were highlighted, and the a la cartes that are abundant and  [... read more]amazing. Beautiful grounds, cenotes to visit across the road, many activities at the resort made for an exceptional vacation. My son played volleyball everyday and we played tennis. Staff are kind and caring and hardworking. Unlike other resorts I never got the feeling any of the staff was looking for tips. And there was little to no waiting to get drinks and food. And unlike other Mexican resorts I've been too, this one I would like to visit again. The only downfall is the dolphinarium which is definitely unnecessary, sad and a black mark against an otherwise beautiful resort.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Beautifull Resort

Ocean Coral was a beautiful resort and the restaurants were very good. we enjoyed the buffet at Breakfast and Lunch. Lots of choices for 4 everyone. There are 4 omelet stations in the morning so the wait was very short. The waiter will even bring you Cappacicino or Lattes . We especially enjoyed the Blue Moon a la carte where the filet mignon was wonderful. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and happy to get you what ever you wanted. One down side was the liquor selection for the sta [... read more]ndard package, the rye was unacceptable(LDT brand or Less than Desireable Taste), CC was an upgrade but there were 4 scotch choices and 3 bourbon choices, once again catering to our US neighbours. I'm a rye drinker in the evenings. The drinks around the pool were very good. There was also lots of sparkling wine all day. The beach was very ruff and yes the seaweed is a problem but the staff works very hard to take it away every day. Lots of lounges and palapas. The pool deck is quite tight because of the amount of Bali beds that take up space so the lounges were close together but at least you got to know the people around you. The rooms were bright and spacious and the grounds magnificent. I don't think that the extra cost for the premium package is worth it the pool is very small and the bar is inside .

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Another great Iberostar Resort

My wife and I came back from Iberostar Quetzal and it was great. Fantastic food, service, and the pool/beach was great. Nothing but a great experience. My only concern is with Sunwing and their lack of transparency with travel to and from the hotel. We ended up having to pay a lot of money to get to the airport on our way home because of the lack of communication on their behalf.
