Ocean Riviera Paradise: This place is great!

The rooms, pools, events and grounds are excellent. Food is also very good, did not get bored. There are lots of activities to book. The dive shop on site is fabulous to deal with. We booked an excursion to snorkel via jet ski which was a lot of fun and well organized. The entertainment was fantastic as well with lots of live music. There is a fantastic kids pool with slides etc. that looked fun. I will endorse MIKES coffee. Very good coffee, we were in there twice every day. The staff in e [... read more]very aspect of this resort were the BEST! The lobby is beautiful. We enjoyed this resort very much and would recommend it to anyone.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Ok resort

Resort was ok but definately misleading on what we actually got in comparison to how much we paid. Food was good but definately property not laid out well. Being in the select club the beach was way to far of a walk considering the way things were explained the select club and royal elite should have had the suites by the beach. More restaurants should have been open in between for snacks throught the day. Was disappointed in the fact time share was all this resort was about. Room was supposed [... read more] to be stocked every day according to the upgraded bracelet to select club and got restocked two or 3 days out of 10. Was hard to get room service. But nice resort but will travel to another resort instead

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: An amazing week away!

We stayed at Sandos Caracol Eco Resort and were so happy with our stay. Although the room that we had was simple, it was clean, and appropriate for us three. The staff and grounds were stunning! The food was excellent as well. I would highly recommend this to families travelling to Mexico who just want to relax on the resort. The only disappointment was that the beach was WAY too rocky to out on. It was giant boulders with large craters in between that made the beach not too great for our 7 y [... read more]ear old.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Beautiful resort.

This was a totally awesome place. Right from the diverse pools to relax in and to the different activities that took place everyday. I totally enjoyed all of my events and excursions that took place. Only thing that I thought would be better is the mid week miyan dinner was cancelled and I was looking forward to that event. Overall this place is a huge place that allows all forms of people to enjoy the places and I do plan to come back with my entire family.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Everything you need plus more

Barcelo has everything you could want in a resort. You almost don't even need to leave the grounds. They have beautiful pools and beaches of course but additionally Barcelo has a bowling alley, gym, spa, mini golf course, mall and a haunted house. Hence, if by chance it rains there is still plenty to keep one occupied. Every staff member I interacted with was helpful and accommodating. Great place to spend a week or two!!

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Disappointed

We recently visited the Royalton in cancun! Right from the start we had troubles. They didn’t clean our rooms, they Would come at 9, 10 o’clock at night when our small children were sleeping. Service is extremely slow. Other than those issues resort was very clean ( minus rooms not being cleaned ). The beach was covered and I mean covered in seaweed, the beach smelt very strong and awful. Lots of garbage washed up on shore while walking the beach.

Grand Sunset Princess: Great

It was wonderful and the taste and quality of the foods were perfect. The rooms were clean but a little humidity. Performances in main theater were professional and amazing. Kid clubs were good and totally we enjoyed and satisfied by sunwing.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great First Experience!

This was my first time in Mexico and I couldn't be happier. The resort was beautiful, the staff extremely friendly and the food - excellent! Being able to venture between the resorts was also a plus. I'd definitely come back so thank you!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Amazing Resort with great room, food and entertainment!

Overall, it is an amazing resort with kids friendly pool. Our whole family enjoyed tremendously, see below review on the different areas. Public Areas: Very nice lobby and we were greeted for check-in fairly quick. Other public areas are nice and very clean with lots of wildlife especially the iguanas that the kids all enjoy watching. Food: Food is excellent, the buffet provides a variety of food which you will not be bored. You can even try the nearby Tulum Resort's buffet if you want eve [... read more]n though the one in Coba is actually bigger. Room: Room is quite big and the beds/pillows were comfortable. They provided a security lock at free of charge which you can lock in valuable items. Pools: There are 2 main pools for adults and kids, 1 for adults only and the other one is for kid. All nice and clean and kids definitely love all the different water slides they could get on to. Beach: Beach unfortunately is a bit disappointing as there are lots of seaweed throughout the whole week we stayed. We heard from the staff that it usually lasts a few weeks, but they don't know why this time around, it has been lasted for months. The shore was covered literally with green seaweed that makes it unpleasant to swim even though the resort has been cleaning like crazy since the morning. But Mother Nature definitely wins in the end and they were only able to clean specific areas but even then they cannot get rid completely all of them but at least it's acceptable. It is my first time in Mexico and I can only speak to this particular Grand Bahia Principe resort that includes Tulum, Coba and Akumal... The beach is quite rocky meaning that there are quite a lot of rocks that you would stepped on which at times, hurt my feet. For some reason, the luxury resort Akumal does not have seaweed at all in their area which makes me wonder why... but for Coba and Tulum, lots of seaweed and rocks. Definitely recommend Dominican Republic or Cuba as they have much nicer beaches.

Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Best hotel in Mayan

I have been to a number of high end all inclusive hotels in the Mayan Riviera, and this one is by far the best. The restaurants, staff, Café, pools, rooms, service, grounds are by far the best. The hotel being new is a contributing factor to the facilities being the best, but the staff were also very well trained and made the stay amazing! The resort was not too big, and was easy to get around without feeling like you were at a mega resort. The only issue was the beach, which had sea weed b [... read more]eing washed up. This was happening all along the coast though, and is not controllable by the hotel. They did the best job they could at cleaning it up .

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Very average resort

All in all we enjoyed our stay. But will not return. At first night, they changed our room on our arrival because of flood in the hotel room due to rain. We also had issues with not having running water (we saw other people having the same issue), toilet not flushing, noisy fan, etc. We did not receive our welcome package (due to changing room), and also the food quality is not very high. We only liked the Italian restaurant out of their 7-8 restaurants.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Nice Vacation

Casual atmosphere, not much of a party vibe. Nightly entertainment was terrible. The "pool party" wasn't much better. Thankfully I was there with a large group of friends, so we had fun on our own. Not a fan of the long walk from the the lobby to the beach, but the food was great at both the buffet and specialty restaurants.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Outstanding Food and Service

My husband and I have just returned from a 10 day stay at Bahia Principe Akumal. We were blessed with incredible weather. The resort is large but we had no problem getting around. Trolleys drive you and the walk is breathtaking. The grounds are gorgeous, filled with tropical flowers, plants and wildlife. Room service, which included 24hr. food, aromatherapy, pillow service and anything you needed was flawless. Our guy (butler) "Tony" was amazing and we gained a new friend. The buffet was incr [... read more]edible with delicous seafood, beef,chicken ,pork and mexican. Raw bars , including salmon tartare and beef tartare everyday. The a'la carte restaurants were some of the best I have ever experience,top quality food and service. We will absolutely be returning and we highly recommend this resort! :-)

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Great Time!

Excellent resort. The accommodations, friendly staff and the food were major pluses for this resort. The beach was small and the water was fairly dark and choppy. Pool goers will enjoy this resort while those preferring more of a beach vacation will likely want to think twice. Overall excellent resort, although the cost seemed a bit high.

El Dorado Seaside Suites: Super fun resort

Room was spacious and the separate rain shower was awesome! Both day and evening entertainment was fantastic -- loved the Mariachi band and the Cherry Lovers =) plus the acrobatic and fire shows. Many pools with different depths, service and levels of loudness so something for everyone. Food was great as well. Beach itself was so-so.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: OMG OMG OMG

We booked a super saver jr suite(garden view) in Daisy(family) it was a great price But when we got here we asked for an upgrade and for 150 US (works out to 7.50 per day per person) we got a 4th floor suite over looking the pool and you can see the ocean. The buffet is to die for lots and lots of food. Swimming pools are amazing. Big water park area for kids with lifeguards in every pool area. Swimup pool bars There is a adult only area El Beso. There is a golf cart shuttle that runs ba [... read more]ck and forth from lobby to beach from 7am to 1am. The only drawback is that it gets full quickly. That is one of the only drawbacks. But we were at the last building(Eden by the sea) it basically took 10 min to walk to the buffet. There are 6 resturants beside the buffet Only tried the Blue Moon(romantic adults only). It was ok for me but my wife said it was the best seafood stew she had ever tasted. It is a big resort but didn't seem like it. Very very very clean . The staff here are amazing My wife and I have been to many hotels and different resorts . Oh yeah there is a mimi bar in your room that is restocked everyday. If there is one bad thing I really hated was the amount of golf carts that were only for the timeshare people. But we had a great no AMAZING TIME!!!!! I highly recommend it.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great Family Vacation

I traveled here last week with my wife and 2 daughters in their 20's. We loved the resort and food was great! Since we stayed at the luxury resort, we had access to all restaurants. There was a ton to choose from, however book all these on your first day as they fill up fast. The buffet was very good as well. The pool was clean, warm and lots of open seats. The beach however was not as nice as expected but decent. The rocky shore line and limited area to swim in was unexpected and unlike other [... read more] beaches we have visited in the area. Variety of drinks was amazing! However the lobby bar closes early and the 24 hour bar was too out of the way to visit late at night.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Fantastic holiday

My friend and I spent a week here may 6 to may 13th. The service from all staff was incredible. Lazaro in the kitchen,Timhy in the buffet and SAMANTHA HERNANDEZ in animation were the best. We look forward to visiting again soon. The only con is the length of time, wish it was longer.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Amazing family vacation!

This is our third resort and probably the most beautiful one. The property was beautiful, staff very friendly, pools were nice. On the down side, room smelled very humid and restaurant food was just so-so. But I would go back in a heartbeat!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Good resort - hit or miss food

Everything was great however sometimes the buffet was great, sometimes it was meh. If your not a picky eater you should be able to find something that you enjoy most meals - but it was rare to want get seconds on anything.
