El Dorado Seaside Palms: Beautiful beach .... okay resort

The beach at this resort was beautiful and unique with natural coral and exotic fish in the water BUT if you are not 50 + and or European DONT go here . This resort is geared towards its European visitors and the entire time we felt like we were in seniorville. No offence but we were just disappointed in the lack of entertainment and things to do in the evening . There were absolutely no younger adults (we are in our 30’s) and if you were at all loud in any way ( we had a small speaker of musi [... read more]c playing on the beach with us ) you were complained about and talked to by staff . It’s rediculius . The worst part is I read all the reviews prior to booking and NOONE mentioned that this is geared for like retirement age and english people ( we are Canadian ) (I only mention the type of people geared to as this affected their food choices ) we were in Mexico and could barely find a freakin taco !! Everything was fish n chips and pastas . Food was mediocre and everything in the resort and it’s sister resort (one side is sensimar one is el dorado) was extremely far so it either took forever to walk there or it took long waiting for a golf cart to take you . I will say the food at el dorado side was much better .

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Amazing resort!

It was spotless! The staff were all so very friendly, welcoming, they were always working so hard to make your stay easy. The rooms were basic, but you are only sleeping there so no biggie. This resort had everything you need all in one. The kids waterpark near Tropical is highly recommended my kid was there daily for hours. The barcy kids club was fantastic, the staff are so great with the kids,and they make sure your kids are having a fun time! All the pools were awesome, the beach is stunning [... read more]! Water beautiful blue with white soft sand, fishes swimming, turtles hanging out and the water was so warm as well. Also for food, the Kyoto la Carte was delicious, so was the Spanish restaurant, La Fuente, the buffets had food for everyone! It was really good, they had theme nights and overall the snack bars, buffets, a la carte's that we tried were really good. I don't have any complaints.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Bahia Principe Coba is the best!

We stayed in Coba for 12 days. Excellent room service. Extremely clean room. Well-maintained facility. Easy access to all facilities with regular transportation. Food is good; a la carte restaurants: Tortuga-excellent, Mediterraneo-excellent, La Gourmet-average.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Beautiful resort

New resort with in the last two years. Clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Staff were very attentive, courteous and respectful. Rooms were beautiful and clean. Pool area is in beaches were lovely. We only ate at the buffet as we were only there for three nights, Food was good but I wouldn’t say excellent although we didn’t eat at the other restaurants. Would definitely go back and stay there again.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Enjoyed Grand Bahia Principe Coba

This resort was terrific. It checked off everything I needed to enjoy myself on this week getaway at an all inclusive with family. Although large, it was easy to get around on the trolley system with some learning and repetition. The staff were very hospitable. The food was delicious and the variety was great. I'm big on seafood and was quite impressed with the offerings for the buffet and even more so in the a la carte restaurants. The drink selection was A+ The pools were [... read more] perfect. Beaches were ok, but this was not an issue for me. I would definitely consider going back. :) Regardless of resort, if you do stay somewhere in the Riviera Maya you owe it to yourself to visit some of the ancient Mayan cities (such as Coba, Tulum and the grand Chichen Itza)....they were truly jaw dropping!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Incredible experience

Extremely clean, great service, excellent food, friendly staff and guests. Very large, multiple pools, but easy to get around via golf carts. Many guests said they stayed at other resorts in Mexico and rated this as their favourite.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: A beautiful nature-filled location

We enjoyed our week at Sandos Caracol. There was a ton of wildlife (coatis, spider monkeys, iguanas, birds, and a few cats). Service was always friendly and helpful. Snorkelling in the onsite cenote was not super interesting, but it's a nice calm way to introduce snorkeling to kids. Just off the beach we saw many fish, crabs, and one ray. The service was friendly. Food was good overall. I really liked the Mediterranean and Italian restaurants. I thought the Japanese one was over-rated,  [... read more]but it's fun to see the food cooked right at your table. The buffets were decent. Our family all found something we liked for every meal. The current construction meant we had to always walk the long way around the resort from our building to the restaurants, pools, etc. This was a bit annoying, but not a real problem.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: We loved the Grand Sirenis!

We have been to a handful resorts on the Mayan Riviera side and this is the first one that we want to go back to NOW! The rooms, beach, resort, pretty much everything about this place is awesome especially the people! Every building has its own concierge and ours was Liz and she was so awesome. She really took care of us and treated us like family. We had a couple of beach servers who took really good care of us- we always had our drinks brought to us and sometimes there was drinks waiting for u [... read more]s when we got back from our swims! Amazing service, especially Esperanca, a real sweetheart! The staff was very friendly and you can tell that they really liked working there. There are too many to mention but Guillermo, Fede, Federico and Sammi were amazing! We were there for Halloween and they decorated the resort and it looked really cool. It looked like the staff had their family there for the day and it gave it a real family oriented vibe that we loved. The snorkelling off the beach was so amazing! The fish were everywhere and we even swam with a stingray! So cool!You could get snorkelling gear and kayaks there everyday. Our room was beautifully decorated and always clean. It never had that musty or damp feeling like other resorts that we have been too. We saw the coolest wildlife from our balcony everyday like raccoons, birds, iguanas, coteis and even monkeys! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The lazy river was very relaxing! You will not be disappointed! The spa was very beautiful and reasonable for a couples massage and hydrotherapy. The dolphin exhibit was cool too! The disco was far and you needed to take a shuttle there but it was cool. The coffee shop was a nice treat every morning and the ice cream shop was cool every afternoon.The sky bar was an awesome place to go after we enjoyed the nightly show. I loved Grease, the circus show etc. It was all good and a lot of fun! We loved this place so much that I actually miss it and cannot wait to go back and we will go back! We are even interested in trying the Grand Sirenis in DR when it opens in December.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Third trip

Just got back from our third trip to Blue Bay. We absolutely loved it again and already booked for 2 weeks in February. We have absolutely no complaints other than we weren't there long enough. The large pool at the beach was under construction for some needed revamping. We look forward to seeing it finished when we return. All services were wonderful. Thanks again

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Amazing resort!

We really enjoyed our stay at VIM! The staff were attentive and friendly. They knew our names and referred to the resort as "our home". The food was very good and you will enjoy every restaurant experience. The ocean is beautiful turquoise colored water and angel fish come in with each swell. There are several options for evening entertainment. Many of the people we met shared that they were repeat customers, "fourth stay". Whether you are looking to relax as a couple or have some fun as a trave [... read more]l group of friends, there will be something for all. We plan to book a future holiday at this resort!

Barcelo Maya Palace: Great trip!!

The hotel was great!! The staff were amazing!! The grounds were beautiful. I did find the time after dinner to be kind of burning. We are not into shows so maybe an outdoor bar for drinks and music would go a long way. Would definitely go back! Thanks for the recommendation.

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Review catered for parents travelling with infant

Overall we had a good experience in Barcello Maya Grand Resort. We travelled there from Nov. 6, 2018 to Nov. 13, 2018 with a 9 month old infant. We loved everything from the kiddie pools, the swim up bar, the restaurants, the food. Few things that the resort may need to look into is hiring staff with minimal level of English speaking ability. Also having items such as a kettle to boil water in the room (esp. for an infant) or prioritizing rooms with a microwave with parents that have infants,  [... read more] would be of great help since the tap water is not ideal for washing/cleaning bottles. Also the noise level for the night shows are also not the greatest for parents with infants that have a sleeping/napping schedule. The nightly shows that run as late as 11 pm are definitely something should be considered when assigning rooms to parents with infants. Our infant contracted hand/foot/mouth disease on our 2nd last night at the resort. Although this isn't directly related to the resorts ability to control, parents considering a trip to tropical climate should be aware of this viral contraction is very possible as it is apparently a very common (having medical insurance is definitely recommended). Thanks

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Would not go back

The scam started as soon as we got off the plane. I asked one person directions to the bus and she took me over to a guy at a booth. He asked where I was staying and I told him, he then asked if I wanted to go on excursions while I was there, of course the answer was yes. He told me about a deal and that I would have to meet him the next day for 90 minutes for a tour. I agreed, naive I guess. We finally made it to our bus and to the hotel. Right off the start we were greeted by a gentleman who t [... read more]ook us to a table and said he was going to make sure we had a good time. He asked if I had spoken to anyone at the airport and I said yes and explained what happened. He then offered to take my tickets and give me new ones so I do not leave the hotel with someone else. Again we had to meet for 90 minutes the next day. I still had no idea why we were meeting, just thought it was what every guest does. It turns out to be like a Time Share they want you to get on board with. If we wouldn't have stayed for the 90 minutes I would have lost the opportunity to go on my excursion. No one tells you to "BEWARE", again just thought everyone did this. The first 2 days put a damper over our vacation and I probable will not visit Mexico again.

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Nice Resort

The resort was nice @ the floral was well kept. The food in restaurants was very good but not stocked with basic items : bacon, bananas, butter. Restaurants were closed giving no notice. Information on the restaurants was hard to find. The room was excellent. The lane way up to the hotel was very junky.

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Awesome

The hotel was great.greating us was out of this world. They were so friendly, very helpful to us as we had no idea as to what to expect.They messed up our reservation but soon corrected it .Wrong room first night straitened it out next day. All went well.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Great times!!

I went with friends and enjoyed our stay. The grounds were well kept and the service was great..everyone was very friendly. We went to all of the restaurants hard to pick a favourite..the Italian was especially good. Don't miss out on the fresh tacos being made daily..you will not be disappointed.

Grand Riviera Princess: Best Trip !

From the Start to Finish we couldn't say enough but Great reviews about our 8 day stay! Our 3rd time here and won't be our last! The resort has kept up its cleanliness and appearance after all these years. The staff are the friendliest people and are serving and maintaining all day around the resort! Food was always fresh and so much assortment for everyones taste. You can go find a quite beach/pool bed to read or party at the pools. The evening shows are top notch and have kept their fast paced [... read more] dancers up beat from 1st time we were here years ago! Excellent! Can't wait fo return🌴😎🍹

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Absolutely amazing!!

I had the most amazing time. The resort was beautiful and well kept, and the staff were amazing. Especially the Animation/Entertainment Team. They made you feel welcome and at home. 10/10 would definitely go back again.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: very good resort

very well kept. looks like it has had many upgrades, food and service were A1. The only down fall is this CIRCLE ONE company that wastes a morning of yours trying to get you to buy into their travel company. If you can avoid that ,its better

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Clean, friendly and very attentive staff

We went for our honeymoon and booked the superior penthouse jacuzzi suite. It was incredible! The stars at night were amazing! Great hotel, we would 100% sray here again! Great place for rest and relaxation!
