Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing resort

This Hotel is huge, clean, and very beautiful, swiming pools are very nice, with water jets, a lot of activities, the Alacarta Restaurant are so nice food very tasty, with no exception, all are very good. night shows are incredible, but the only painful part is the beach , not good at all seaweed are gathered all along the beach like small mountains, they try to clean it but doesn't work at all, this is why a bad smell comes in the airbetween time to time, they build up a rocky wall to stop wa [... read more]ves from reaching to the beach.The towel services are great. all workers are very friendly and smiling, polite, and respectful, they welcome you like home

Catalonia Yucatan: Beautiful - everything you need in a few short steps

Catalonia Yucatan Beach Resort was lovely. The check in was quick and we were given a room upgrade as we were celebrating our 25th anniversary. Truthfully the room and bathroom was a bit tired although clean and comfortable. The grounds and pools were very beautiful and very clean. The beach did have a seaweed problem that the workers could not get ahead of but there was beach area by the lagoon which was free from seaweed and great for swimming. The lounges were all great, sports bar was fun wi [... read more]th different activities, ping pong, air hockey, pool tables as well as many tv’s. The Buffets were very good food, great variety, good service too. The a la carte restaurants were completely amazing quality, service and ambience. We did not attend the disco or theatre so have no comment. Armando a drink server was absolutely amazing, he was super friendly and very attentive to our needs around the pool. This resort has a sister resort next door which we had full access to. We loved the resort, so easy to find your way around - very comfortable - not a massive area where a golf cart is needed to get around. It is a short walk to the Marina which has a marine show, restaurants and plenty of shops. We had an amazing 2 weeks and would return!

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Beautiful Resort 🏝

The place is very clean, they are constantly cleaning and painting. Beach is beautiful and the food is amazing, a big variety. A lot to do, you won’t be disappointed. The beach has reefs, rocks for nice pics or just nice white sand. If you do a la cartes, do Mexican Lindo and Kyoto. Food is amazing and at Kyoto you get a nice show too.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Would recommend to anyone

This was a very clean and fun place. Nice people and staff. Only issue we had was with my girlfriends vegan preferences which took a while to solve at each restaurant but they always had a resolution. There is enough stuff to do here to be busy for even two weeks and we went for one. I want to come here again and habe beem telling all my friends to book here if they plan to go away. Seaweed can be annoying but there was always a somewhat clear ocean area to swim.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Nice resort

Hotel was nice. Under staffed . A bit dirty . Food was excellent at buffet but not worth waiting for restaurants to eat . My Kids loved the pool too . Very far from city and Tulum beach was covered with seewe.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Good resort

Hello Barcelo Maya Colonial, I found the resort was great. Good Food ,rooms, kids waterpark,great service for the money.Thoroughly enjoyed it. Following things needs to be considered by Management. Internet should be for all ,all the time for non premium guests as well. Internet for Non premium guests It wood be nice to introduce huts for shades on the beach. Alacart bookings for restaurants was difficult though we tried to book on the same day we arrived. When we asked why is it so. People [... read more] book on line before they arrive. This is the first time I have heard about this. We have been to 15 to 20 resorts never had an issue. We got bookings for which we did not desire. It needs to be reviewed by Management of the resorts. If this is improved it would be a wonderful resort and vacation. Beach had a lot of weeds but they cleaned everyday. That was because of the storm the previous week. All in all a great resort. Good FUN. Please provide internet at all times to ALL GUESTS as part of the package deal

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Loved the resort!

Everything about this resort was outstanding! The only complaint for the week would just be regarding the weather, other than that, the resort was amazing. Would absolutely return! I would advise anyone planning on staying to book their A la carte restaurants ahead of time by emailing the hotel. This ensures you will be able to try the restaurants available. I would recommend the Gourmet and Brazilian restaurants on the Akumal resort.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo Maya Colonial - Amazing resort

The hotel is beautiful and had a great stay. The food, the rooms, the pools and the water park for kids all outstanding all the amenities were great. The alacarte dinners and the main buffet were excellent. The employees were so friendly and super customer service.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an - a Gem in the Mayan Riviera

From the welcoming Reception to the scrumptious buffet , this was a vacation destination that left us feeling pampered and relaxed. Every little thing was anticipated and catered for. The jungle setting came complete with the lazy iguana and curious coati walking across the paths. Exotic, or as the Mayan would say, Xotic! The grounds were cared for with pride; the staff extremely courteous and friendly; the entertainment filled with enthusiasm and crowd participation. A perfect home away fr [... read more]om home.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Amazing resort

This resort was one of the best resorts i've stayed at. I found the room and the resort itself very clean. All the workers were very nice and friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Food was great, i found the portions small at some of the a la cartes but it still tasted amazing. I loved that their was a coffee and ice cream shop at the resort as well. I would definitely return to this resort.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Luxurious and peaceful

First, the layout of the resort is wonderful. They hired a professional to design and layout the entire resort. Everything is close by and easy to locate, beautiful gardens, walkways and lighting were perfectly designed. Hammocks were located in treed areas with lighted wicker balls high in the trees. Stunning! Every room faces the ocean. Next, the staff are amazing people. Raul at the front desk was professional and friendly. Phillipe at the 24 snack bar was friendly and a great bartender. Ser [... read more]vice was always prompt and they had plenty of staff to take care of all your needs. They have local and international liquor available, as well as Heiniken and XXX beer. The maids were friendly and provided great service. The Animation staff were very friendly and we got to know quite a few of them: Alex G, Alex S, Karla, Minvet, Samantha (wonderful with kids), and Mario. The food was excellent. The buffet had a huge variety of meat, fish, rice, pasta, vegetables, vegetarian and vegan dishes as well. The food was well prepared and spiced, always fresh and replaced regularly. The fresh fruit, desserts, and ice cream were delicious. The a la carte restaurants included: Brazilian, Japanese, French (requires long pants), and Mexican. All were excellent and gourmet quality. Both the presentation and the flavours were superb. Best feature ever, no reservations for a la carte! You show up and find out how long for a table. Usual wait for us was 0 to 15 minutes. There was also a Sushi Bar next to the pool, Lilian was a fantastic sushi chef. Finally, the 24 hour snack bar near the pool had mini buffet for breakfast and lunch and a menu to order from at other times. The food was very good and it allowed us to have a quick meal near the pool or ocean. The room includes a mini fridge with drinks and snacks which is restocked daily. The resort has chosen to have live music every evening instead of having "entertainment shows". Great choice. There was some music at the pool and in the restaurants, but not loud and not all the time. Again, great choice. If you like loud music all the time, partying not stop, and Animation staff blowing whistles all day, this is not the place for you. I would be remiss if I did not mention the wellness part of the resort. There are two yoga studios. The large one is on the beach, the small one is behind the resort. You can see and hear the ocean while you take your yoga lessons in the large studio. They also have meditation. There is a schedule with the classes they offer every day. Thoroughly enjoyed the two yoga classes we took. There is also a gym and spa area in the forest. Beautifully laid out and gardened, fully shaded. They have a steam room and sauna as well. There was also an in ground hot tub surrounded by the forest. There is a main pool, as well as four smaller pools located along the shoreline which face the ocean. If you want to take a relaxing dip, the smaller pools fit the bill nicely. Akumal translates to turtle. The ocean in Akumal has coral reefs which are great for snorkelling and you can easily find turtles while snorkelling. The beach has a lot of seaweed which is picked up constantly by the staff, every day. We swam in the ocean, but you will need to move a little to the left of the resort to find a nicer entry point. Other than the seaweed we absolutely loved this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Beautiful resort

I’ll try to be brief. Our overall stay 6;13-6;20/2018 was a wonderful experience. Just because a few issues we had, I will still leave a positive review. The one issue was: our room 32607 was in a great location, we had nice cool air conditioning the first night, it stopped cooling the 2nd day and for 3 days/night we had no a/c, it took until Saturday and 3 different reports until one rep. at Premier reception took action and the problem was fixed. No issues after that, should we ever go bac [... read more]k to any resort and the same problem would arise, I would be more aggressive right from the get-go and have them fix the problem. The other thing that really bothered me was the concierge, we were approached the first day and before our room was ready by a concierge, he said the resort wanted to give us a welcome presentation with a $70.00 gift certificate, he was so nice and polite, I accepted and made the appointment to be the 3th day during breakfast. On the invitation card was: time, 1hr for the duration of this welcome presentation. I realized soon this was not a welcome presentation but a timeshare presentation, I was very disappointed and wanted to leave, my wife convinced me to hear him out in order to be respectful, the presentation lasted 2 hrs, so finally just told him respectfully to rap it up, we’re not interested one bit in timeshare, we just came to have fun and not pressured to join in a long lasting commitment. He signed the release form and we were out the door. This will be a huge lesson for the future, I’ll tell them right from the beginning we’re not interested and to leave us in peace. If the resort wants to improve in bringing in tourist, this one thing they should do, completely get rid of all timeshare representatives and promotions. I talked to other people about this and every single one of them, absolutely hate to be approached by these timeshare reps. As far as food, the quality and the service, it was amazing. We were not able to visit all À la cart restaurants but the ones we had the privilege to eat and dine, were absolutely amazing. I would like to mention a few of them: Samuel at Mashua was so professional and polite, the food was the best. Antonio at La Tequila was another young individual who had pleasure in serving and making you feel welcome, the food also amazing. Ana at Cozumel Buffet was a very humble and sweet lady in serving. Overall, our stay was well worth it and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back, I highly recommend Grand Bahía Principe Coba.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Neat Room and Restaurants, OK Food and Service

The room is very clean and the room staff change bed every day. Room service is excellent. There are many restaurants, space is bright and neat. Food is various but the quality is just okay. Sushi rolls-rice are not well cooked. Brazil cuisine- bbq meat is too dry. There are not too many options for non-alcohol drinks. Only orange and pineapple juice. Can make some fresh watermelon, or mango juice.

Grand Riviera Princess: Not so Grand resort

Grand Riviera Princess is showing signs of needing a facelift. -Pool tiles missing or broken - lounge chair broke on us because it was all rusty - clean up was not done on a daily basis example the same cockroach sat squished in the hall way for 2 days, we went for breakfast someone had spilled milk or cream along side of the wall, came back for breakfast the next day and it was still there. Same towel sat on a walkway light the whole week we were there. -staff was grumpy - cockroach in ou [... read more]r room - not enough lighting in hotel room (hallway especially) - Oriental restaurant really bad not oriental at all, Pad Thai was made with a BBQ sauce and was more like noodle soup. We got up and left not finishing our meals, we were warned not to eat at the sushi restaurant by another couple who had gotten sick from it. We heard a few other bad things about the other restaurants so we stuck to the buffets which were ok. - we are not big drinkers, but the drinks were definitely light on alcohol. Just overall if was not a pleasant/welcoming atmosphere. Would not recommend to anyone and would not return to this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: A truly amazing resort!

What an absolute beautiful resort. Everywhere we went on the resort everyone was working hard and smiling from the gardeners to the servers to the bartenders. The concierge called at least 3 times to make sure everything was good. The food was absolutely amazing, so many choices and always hot and fresh.

I have absolutely no complaints except it poured rain for 5 out of the 7 days we were there......... loved the shuttle service! I would definitely go again!!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Lovely Resort

Great Resort! my only 2 complaint's are, 1- the nightmare check-in service which was quickly resolved and 2- the mountains of seaweed on the rocky beach. Staff is nice, grounds well groomed, rooms clean, food plentiful and varied. Shows are typical all inclusive talent. All in all I would go to this resort again. The Luxury Hotel exceeds Coba and Tulum resorts on the same grounds. Its worth paying extra for the Luxury than the other 2.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Perfect resort

Very clean, amazing staff, nice rooms and beautiful beaches. No end to things to do. Buffets were great, a la carte restaurants amazing. Lots of friendly wildlife,including a crocodile pond and flamingo ponds. Jungle like location a bonus. I would definetly be going again.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Fantastic Getaway

From the moment we arrived, our vacation was perfect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I have a lactose allergy and the a la carte staff were excellent in recommending safe foods for me every evening. We celebrated our 6th anniversary during our stay and appreciated the hotel acknowledging our special day! Housekeeping kept our room spotless and the bartenders and servers made sure our glasses were never empty for long. We enjoyed a few rounds of mini golf and loved all of the a la [... read more] carte dining options. Our favorites were paella at La Fuente (Spanish), lobster at Marenostrum (seafood) and the lovely atmosphere at Brasserie (French). The evening entertainment was also very good - our favorite was the Circus show. We were repeat guests and will definitely be back again. Thanks to O'Neil for taking care of our booking and making arrangements for us to have an overnight accommodation in Toronto when our connecting flight was cancelled.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: nice resort

It was a nice resort, people were nice. The italian and sushi restaurant were delicious and liked the fact that we had wifi available 24/7. Did not like from the moment we stepped into the hotel there were people trying to sell us time shares and excursions.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Beautiful and it has EVERYTHING!!

The guest services staff was amazing, kind and always had a smile. The entire time we commented on how hardworking and enthusiastic the staff was at every turn (from check in, bar staff, the entertainment staff to the cleaning staff and food services). Each building (Daisy, Eden, El Beso, Privelage) made it feel like their own resorts with the purposely placed landscaping. The al a carte food was perfect for the style of each restaurant.
