Ocean Riviera Paradise: Excellent Family Vacation!

We stayed at this resort from June 3-10. After reading the reviews before we went I was a bit worried but it turned out to be an excellent vacation! You have to be extremely picky not to like this resort. It was absolutely amazing. We traveled as a family of 4, with 2 children, ages 5 and 2. We were in the Daisy building facing the pool. The room was large and clean. The only issue we had was the water in the shower would go from warm to hot out of nowhere so we had to keep adjusting it d [... read more]uring our shower. No big deal, although some people would think so! The mini bar was filled daily with beer, pop, water, milkshakes, Oreos and M&M’s. The resort has 5 pools. One at each building. We spent most of our time at the Daisy pool as it was closest to our room. My only suggestion, is that they keep the swim up bar open later than 4:30pm. The entertainment at the Daisy pool was almost non-existent. They only had something for the kids one day. They should look into having more entertainment at that pool. I know they do a lot at the adults only pool and Eden pool. I also missed the music at the Daisy pool, it would have been nice to have music playing. The food was excellent. We went to the buffet every morning. There was plenty to choose from, our favourites were the made to order omelettes, fresh donuts and fresh fruit. For lunch we usually got food from the small restaurant by the Daisy pool, which consisted of hotdogs, burgers, fries, etc. For dinner we tried the Mexican, Steakhouse, Italian and Japanese. The Italian and Steakhouse were our favourites. I would skip the Mexican restaurant next time. The Japanese was just ok but the show they put on was good. Overall the food was great but the service was a little slow at times but nothing to complain about. No one got sick from the food and my children who are very picky eaters, always ate. Big plus! The coffee shop and ice cream parlour were great! We enjoyed them every night after dinner. As far as the beach, yes, there’s seaweed everywhere but it didn’t bother us as we’re not beach people. Although we loved the pool at the beach, the view was awesome. The entertainment at night was really good. We only made it to a couple of shows because they do start late and when you have small kids it’s hard to attend. We left early both times but the shows were fantastic. The bowling alley was a nice touch as well but we only went once. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Good and bad

My experience with Carol Weber at trip central was excellent. She was top notch and would definitely use her again for future travel arrangements. The resort : beautiful grounds , food was good , pools were nice and water park for kids was fantastic. It’s too big ! If you love the beach this resort is not for you. You have to travel by golf cart to the beach because of the distance and then once you get there the beach is just not nice. Seaweed is an issue anywhere and I don’t even mind  [... read more]it as it’s part of nature however at this resort they have so much seaweed you can’t get in the water because they have tractors shovelling it out. I’ve never seen so much seeweed. You couldn’t even see the water. We had to walk quite a distance just to get to an area where we could swim and it was extremely busy because 4 resorts use this one small area. We paid extra for the golden and it’s not worth it. We never even got a menu for room service , they don’t answer phones and when then they do no one ever comes ... overall I recommend this resort if you like to stay by a pool and could guarantee a room by the pool and buffet area otherwise you will be on an enormous resort with not much to do ... also they add fertilizer to the sprinklers so most days it smelled like a farm and in that heat it was extremely unpleasant. I love going away for the beach , food , things to do and to soack up the sun and will not be returning here and I recommend other resorts in the area far more.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great resort

Resort was great. Lots of areas to swim including an adults only area. The Kids water park was good too. The food was pretty good ...not the best I’ve had in Mexico but wasn’t bad. Steakhouse, Italian and teppanyaki was the best. A few cons: beach was bad, smelled awful. Pools made up for it though. It rained constantly for a few days and our room didn’t have an umbrella— good luck getting one from guest services or the front desk. We were soaked going to dinner, etc. Also, bring lots  [... read more]of $1’s if you want to tip....front desk also did not carry “change” Overall, it was a good resort for the money we paid — would I go again? Only if it was a really great deal.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Amazing Family Resort

It was our family's first all inclusive vacation so we didn't really know what to expect. As soon as we got there, we felt very welcomed by the staff with their friendly demeanor. The staff were very helpful. They brought us everything we needed even set up an extra bed in our room! The hotel itself was very nice. There were a lot of activities for all ages. My kids really enjoyed the shows at night. The activity and entertainment staff were very fun and entertaining. We did water exercise, play [... read more]ed volleyball and basketball. Food was also delicious. We loved the Mediterranean Restaurant. We will definitely use this hotel again when we go back to Mexico! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone ;) thank you for such a wonderful experience!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Perfect for Couples!!

The Bahia Principe is a perfect getaway for couples looking to relax on vacation, but is also packed with fun activities throughout the day and night! My boyfriend and I booked a junior superior penthouse suite at Sian Ka’an and it truly felt like living in luxury for a week. The first night there, we called to have our jacuzzi filled and our butler also brought us a bottle of sparking wine! Each night, Sian Ka’an had incredible performers with my favorite being the dancers from Latin Nigh [... read more]t, but throughout the other 3 resorts that you have access to, there are more shows to attend. We watched Michael Jackson at Tulum (which was amazing), but our favorite night by far was the Fiesta Mexicana at the Hacienda! The entertainment team at Sian Ka’an is absolutely amazing and really made an effort to get to know us. They had activities at the beach from late morning to noon, then continued back at our pool, and returned in the evenings as well. They were so engaging and funny! Finally, the food here was just absolutely incredible, whether it was at the snack bar, buffet, or a la cartes. They had such a wide variety and there was so much flavor! Overall, this truly felt like a 5 star resort and I would not hesitate to go back again!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Excellent Resort

Food Great Beach is a 10 min shuttle from resort Beach wasn’t that good. Unless you like an enclosed off beach by rocks where there’s only like 300 feet of beach for everyone to swim at If you are looking for a resort with a nice beach this isn’t the resort for you 2/5 If your looking for a very nice resort and very luxurious resort where you would rather be at a pool then this is the resort for you.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful large property

Bahia Principe is 4 resorts covering hundreds and hundreds of acres.We stayed at Sian Ka'an which is the adult only resort. It is located 1 or 2 KM from the other three. Not really a problem since the shuttle service to all the other resorts is very good. Our average wait time for a shuttle was maybe 2 minutes. We had complete access to everything at all 4 resorts so there is plenty to do and a tremendous selection of restaurants. Everything is true 5 star Every interaction with staff was p [... read more]leasant every time. Only some beaches are sandy. coral and rocks are present in some locations so step carefully. Apparently seaweed is a seasonal issue

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Amazing resort

Exemplary! Very impressed with everything and everyone. This place was very clean, staff was very polite, approachable and accomodating. We enjoyed the great pools and beach facilities. There was a great selection with the meals. Housekeeping, Diana and concierge service was excellent (Mario) and Pech. We are hoping to be back again.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very nice resort

We had a great time at Bahia Principe, the beach was amazing and so many beautiful pools. We also booked 3 tours to see the Piramids and Xcarett. We will defianately go back. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Great getaway!

Hotel was beautiful - staff was friendly - food was great - service was awesome too. I would say more access to a variety of snacks or access to a restaurant 24 hrs a day would be required - other than that, all was great. We would definitely recommend this resort as a place to stay and hope to come back one day.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: RESORT

The people were confused a lot at the front desk and also getting the transportation to our rooms took along time. The food was good and the restaurant and bar staff were brilliant. The Westjet agents at the hotel are very rude, don't want to deal with them again. The resort was kept in great condition and our rooms were nice.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Aweosome resort

One of the beat hotels i have been too. Its soo clean and staff are professional. The food was second to none. The resort has everthing you need from gift shops to spa to dolphins to jet skies to kids water parks

TRS Yucatan: Fantastic resort in the Riviera Maya - best vacation yet!

I have been a fan of Grand Palladium hotels for years and have visited the Riviera Maya several times. The best trip yet, however, was at the newly renovated and transformed TRS Yucatan (formerly, The Royal Suites Yucatan). It was simply amazing from start to finish. Our expectations were far exceeded! What was so great? The rooms, the infinity and salt-water pools, the butlers in the villas, the a la carte restaurants, the staff and service. As an experienced traveler, I've become quite discern [... read more]ing; however, I had a tough time finding anything to call out for not being excellent. This hotel is a tremendous value for the dollar. Don't hesitate to go!

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Service Sergio

The food was fantastic, rooms clean and pool fresh. The service was average. The front desk team was good and very attentive. When we had an issue with our room and we were not happy with the result the front desk attendant couldn't make us happy until the Manager Sergio attended to our issue. Once Sergio got involved he calmed us down, dealt with our issue and helped us to the best of his ability. Class act, dynamite guy, wish every resort I have been at had a person like him.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Beautiful Resort

Everything was amazing about this resort from the time we got in to the time we left food, staff, rooms all were amazing. The only thing that needs little bit of attention is to have frequent trams services.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Nice resort

The place wasn't bad. there's a small beach to swim. I prefer if they put more authentic Mexican food in the buffet. The room was recently renovated we love it. The Ala carte restaurants were okay. The Thai resto I won't recommend. The concierge are very very helpfull and always available particularly Guillermo n Juan Guillermo. I would go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Beautiful Resort But ...

My husband and I stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe Coba for 10 days, beginning May 3, 2018. We have travelled to other resorts in the Caribbean before, but this was our first trip to Mexico. The entire (extremely large) resort is beautiful. The rooms are lovely and housekeeping was awesome. All the staff at the resort were very kind and helpful. Food was great in all the restaurants, both buffets and a la cartes. Pools are beautiful and clean. Families with children will love the childre [... read more]n's pool/waterpark. The only complaint we would have is the beach. Mother Nature is giving this beautiful resort a really hard time. The seaweed had made the beach unusable during our time there. I am not exaggerating as I thought other previous reviewers had done. There are dump trucks and bobcats trying to keep up with clearing the seaweed away, but it is covering the majority of the entire beach, and the smell is really overwhelming. Staff from the resort told us it has been getting worse the last couple of years, and I feel really bad for the resort. Our vacation was amazing except for not being able to use the beach, and we really enjoy walking on the beach during our vacations and spending time there. Otherwise, if you don't mind a pool vacation, I would totally recommend this resort. I gave the resort a 4/5, and the pool/beach a 3/5 solely because of the beach.

HM Playa del Carmen: Amazing hotel, excellent location

We spent one week at HM Playa del Carmen, The rooms are very clean and comfortable except for odor of mustiness. Amazing personnel, very helpful, answered all our questions. The breakfast was excellent with fresh products, frresh fruits, good coffee, waffles, pancakes, ecerything made daily. Great service, would have liked dining room to be open for lunch or supper. The pool is very beautiful, clean, plenty of chairs and beds. The beach is a 10 minute walk, and I found it was not very good,  [... read more]brown sand, a lot of seaweed, rocky, not the best beach. The hotel is two streets from 5th Avenue, the main shopping area, high end stores and plenty of souvenir shops.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Tulum excitement

Hotel was great lots of restaurants and pool activities, food was great and service was ok. The only thing i really didn't like was the beach area which was full of seaweed I'm guessing it was the time of year but it should have been cleaned up as best as they can. I really loved the markets which was walking distance from our vila. Overall i would give it a 8 out of 10.
