The hotel, staff and service was exceptional. Very clean and friendly.....Food was fantastic and great entertainment for all......Loved it and would do it again anytime..... Highly recommended.......great resort for singles aged 25-70

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Paraiso Maya is perfect for us!

Just returned from our 48th visit. Yes, 48 times. Not a typo. It has everything we want. Not too far from the airport, a very long beach for walking, warm temperatures even during a polar vortex, exceptionally friendly staff, great food, very nice & clean rooms, golf, a new gym with very nice equipment & knowledgeable trainers, a variety of TV choices, free WIFI and always plenty of other nice people to spend time with, many of whom have also been there lots of times before. Oh yeah - and for al [... read more]l of you like me, that are not booze hounds, all the ice cream you can eat.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Nice Vacation

We stayed at Sandos from January 23 - January 30. As with every place you go to, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. This was my 6th time in Playa Del Carmen, as we absolutely love it here. We always go to different resorts because we enjoy having new areas to explore. The good: This resort is huge, huge, huge. Just when you think you have seen it all, you find a new trail that takes you somewhere new to explore. The setting is absolutely beautiful, set right in the jungle amids [... read more]t mangroves, cenotes, waterfalls, and tons of foliage with numerous animals. With that being said, yes there are mosquito's....its to be expected. We brought bug spray with us, however there are numerous dispensers around the resort with bug lotion as well. The animals everywhere was so awesome! The rescue farm animals were so cute, coatis everywhere, many types of birds, mexican hairless dogs....so many animals! The monkeys were hilarious. But people need to remember these are very smart animals....keep your patio doors shut if you are not in your room (not just the screen) We watched 3 monkeys open a screen door, enter a room, play on the bed, steal their food and tip over their table before they left in a hurry lol. We were told by some staff that monkeys have enter rooms and taken magazines, sun glasses and even cell phones. We upgraded to the Adult only section and felt it was worth the extra money. Our room was absolutely beautiful and huge with a Jacuzzi on our balcony. We had zero issues with our room at all. The in room water cooler was a nice bonus. I recommend bringing a water bottle with you, just so you don't have to get a cup every time you want water. With the adult only upgrade we also had access to a nice quiet restaurant for breakfast & lunch. This was great because the first morning we went to the main buffet and it was super busy, and the people in there acted like this was the only food they would be getting for the rest of the week.....very rude, pushy and obnoxious! Its a buffet people, calm down....there will be more food! We also had access to the clubhouse by the beach which was awesome. They make the best drinks down there!! And mid afternoon there was lots of snacks to munch on (chicken wings, sandwiches, salads etc) pooltable and books upstairs as well. I recommend the upgrade if you aren't travelling with children. The staff everywhere we went were all great. We never ran into anyone who wasn't happy and polite. The bad: If you are looking for a nice sandy beach to swim in, this isn't it. There is lots of rocks in the water until you get out farther. We did read all the reviews and came prepared with water shoes so this didn't bother us at all. And because the water edge is so natural you can actually see all the tropical fish right at the edge of the water. We also got to see Sea Urchins when the tide went out! So cool. If you walk a few mins down the beach either way there is lots of easier areas to get in a swim. Also the amount of times we were asked if we wanted a massage both from the resort staff, and the other people who offered massages just beside the resort was verging on ridiculous! I get they are trying to drum up business.....but anyone laying on the beach or swimming isn't interested in a massage right then. And asking 7, 8, 9 times isn't going to change that! The ugly: We had zero complaints with any of the food from the restaurants, however half way through our stay my husband came down with what we believe was food poisoning (violent throwing up and diaherra that lasted for 3 days). We drank all the same drinks, and basically ate the same food. We narrowed down his sickness to coming from the Italian restaurant from dinner, where we didn't eat the same. I ordered chicken parm off the menu (which was good) but my husband just ate the pizzas off the buffet. It was definitely not a good experience and we lost a lot of time out of our holiday because he was sick. We've never experienced this before anywhere else. My only other complaint was about the room service. The first night we arrived we didn't get to the room til almost 11pm. We decided to order room service around 1am. My husband got a burger, and I got fajitas. Both were very, very good. So after my husband was sick for 2 days, he was starting to get hungry because he hadn't eaten ....so we ordered room service around 6pm. He got the club sandwich, and I ordered nachos and a quesadilla. His sandwich was pathetic, bread was hard, 1 tiny tomato in the center of all the bread and 1 tiny piece of chicken (I did take pictures) I got about 10 nachos with a huge bowl of guac and my quesadilla was basically an empty fried tortilla. Was pretty disappointing. The late night service was 100x better. Overall we had a nice vacation here. We loved the resort and the staff, but with him getting sick like that we honestly aren't sure if we would return to this resort just for that reason. Vacation time is too precious, and too expensive to get sick while on it., and neither of us have ever gotten sick anywhere else.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Outstanding

Great resort, supurb food, georgeous beach, beautiful rooms, exquisite restaurants, friendly service... honestly everything was wonderful... only thing that would have been nicer would be to have extra lounges at the beach... other that that our trip was Fantastic.. what more could anyone ask for...

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: time of our lives

We were a group of fourteen neighbors and we had the best time, service was friendly and our rooms were kept immaculate. The pools were great, and lots of things to do at the beach, which again was very clean. The food was outstanding, never a dull moment for any meal. the staff at the pool bar went above and beyond to keep us happy. I would come back to this resort in a heartbeat. Bravo!

Grand Palladium Colonial: Highly enjoyable experience!

Went to Grand Paladium Colonial with my husband and five year old. Greatly enjoyed ourselves. The food at the a-la-cartes was great! The buffet was well-appointed with great variety. The grounds were lovely and well kept. The way the resort was situated was great too! In short distance, we had rather immediate access to the kids pool, the main pool and the ocean. The swim up bar was in its own spot so those who liked to drink a lot had their space. We had access to two other resorts as well whic [... read more]h meant that we didn’t have to eat in the same place twice. It is large but that was not a detractor for us. Having visited a few resorts, this was hands down our favourite so far. We’d definitely go back. Highly recommended!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Valentin - January 15-29/2019

Air Transat to and from - very good Ground Transport - direct, very good. Check In/out - very good Room - central location. Very good. Food and Service - very good. Towel service - very good. Grounds - immaculate. Beach/Pool - Too much competition for a lounge chair and umbrella. Not enough loungers for the number of guests. Staff - very good Bar Service - very good. Entertainment - very good.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: The best

The best vacation ever. Risently we return back from our vacation trip, adjustad with help of Tripcentral. It was above all expectations. Agents help was very professional, highly qualified. I recieved max information and good advices without waist of time, Plus price was very loyal. Hotel and service are exclusively good, above all our expectations.Definitely recommend it for vacation.

Paradisus Playa Del Carmen Roulette: What a great place!!!

My wife and I spent a week at Paradisus Play Del Carmen. This resort is 1st class all the way, from the moment you arrive until you leave, you are treated like royalty. The staff there are really great, they work very hard and they bend over backwards to make your stay a perfect one. The rooms are gorgeous with marble floors, and they are very clean, in fact the whole complex is spotless with granite and marble everywhere. We arrived and were instantly checked in and given our rooms. FOOD----- [... read more]-----------The food at this resort is the best (by a large margin) food we have ever had at an all inclusive Resort, and we have stayed at many over the years. BEACH---------------The beach has nice fine sand that is great for long walks, but the ocean has lots of seaweed. They work hard to keep it clean, but there is seaweed in parts of the water. You can pick a section of the water and swim without any seaweed. I found that they could use a few more lounge chairs on the regular (not 1st class) side. One thing that makes the beach extra special is the Beach Concierge, His name is Miguel Agvilar. This fellow makes you feel like you are a royalty. He can't do enough for you. The beach service is also excelente, you won't be looking for service there, because they make sure you are well taken care of . The bottom line is this resort is the best resort we have ever stayed at, in fact we were here last year and booked it again this year, because of the quality. (we haven't ever stayed at the same resort 2 years in a row until now). I would recommend this place without hesitation. We booked through Trip Central (which is my favorite website) and our agent was Sara Zubiak, she is so knowledgeable and is pleasant to work with . The only negative we had on our trip was with Park"N Fly, I found them to be disreputable and I wouldn't park there again.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: We love it!

This is the 5th time we have stayed at Sian Ka'an and, as in the past, we find it a special place to stay. The staff, food and accommodation are wonderful and you feel like you are a special guest. Access to the 3 other sister resorts provides a great variety in dinning, pool and beach options. We will definitely return soon!

Ocean Coral by H10: Incredible Service!

We booked our trip with a Privilege Upgrade and that is the only way to travel! The level of service at the Privilege Lounge was exceptional. Our good friend Angel in there took incredible service for us and provided us with incredible meals. Thank you also to Isabel the chef. How she is able to prepare the meals she did in that small kitchen I don't know, she is a magician me thinks. I strongly recommend everyone check out the Privilege level of service at this resort. Myself and my frien [... read more]ds came back a second time due to the service of Angel. I have also sent other friends there from Canada who had a similar great experience. Thank you for booking the trip for us!

Ocean Coral by H10: Wonderful Stay

A fantastic resort. Upgrading to Priveledge Class well worth the money. Food at all restaurants exceptional except for the 'Marina' where food was cold and service was poor. Even though this restaurant is know as the Steak Pit I do not recommend it. Priveledge Class has a Priveledge Lounge which has exception staff. Angle and his chefs are the best. All resort staff friendly and helpful. Our buttler Manual was awesome. Easily a 4.5 out of 5 and would have been a 5 if not for the one poor restaur [... read more]ant. There are 8 restaurants in total and 7 of them really were exceptional. This was our second stay in 2 years and we will be returning in the future.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Our 2nd Stay

Resort is still excellent 2 years after our last visit. We had a very noisy room on the 3rd floor which had a lot of late night traffic, drunks,carts,etc. We asked the Diamond Club if we could pay to change room and there were no available options. Our Butler Everisto was the best we have had. Food options were first class.

Catalonia Yucatan: RUN DOWN

This was our 2nd time at the Catalonia Yucatan. 1st time we loved it, 2nd time not so much. The rooms are very tired and food was certainly not up to par. The resort caters to French. Which is an issue as we don't speak it. At night in the lounge/bar area they had French night parties and there is no other lounge to go to. I love the location as you can ride a bike down to the marina and have beer and food at one of the restaurants by the dolphin area. We watched the dolphin and sea lion show  [... read more]and didn't have to leave the resort.

Catalonia Yucatan: disappointed with our second visit

We were disappointed with our second visit to Catalonia Yucatan. The location is awesome & most of the staff are so very friendly (including the wait staff, bartenders & cleaning crew, the party staff basically ignored us). This resort was recently sold to a French company and it is very clear that they cater to the French speaking guests. If you do not speak French, stay away. We travel south 2 - 3 times per year & were hoping to make this one of our "go to" places, due to this bad experience [... read more] we will not return to this location.

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Gréât Resort

Confortable and well located. Great service. Excellent Food. Would have enjoyed more evening entertainment but would recommend to friends. Beach was okay. Great restaurant choices. Was very pleasant.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: A gem in the Mayan

Resort, staff, food, kids club, entertainment bar none the very best!!!! The ground, beach beautiful Akumal town so quaint Collectivo so easy to get to Tuluum This has to be the best resort in the Mayan and I cannot wait to go for the third time❤️😆

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Everything we hoped for

The resort is absolutely beautiful with gardens & greenery everywhere. The accommodations were very comfortable, we upgraded to a Golden Suite overlooking the Lazy River & glad we did. The beach has deep sand & you can walk fir as long as you want. We weren’t able to use a catamaran due to high winds all week. Although there are plenty of signs asking guest not to reserve sun beds, it was quite frustrating to arrive at the beach st 9:30 am & not find a spot; the same as the pools. There is s  [... read more]great selection of restaurants & they don’t take reservations so timing is important if you don’t want to wait for an hour. I found service was not always consistent for getting your drinks especially in the very busy restaurants, they seem a little disorganized but we are on vacation & can wait! We really enjoyed the activities that were available every day such as Pool Biking, TRX classes, Sunrise Yoga, Pilates & more. We have never met so many guests who return year after year to this resort so the Valentin is a great place to go!

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: gorgeous resort.

We enjoyed there every minute. Service was excellent. There was variety of food. Lovely location with different cute birds and animals. Everybody was friendly and tried to bring us only good memories about our holidays.
