The Sens Riviera: Good Family vacation.

Check in was a breeze (sun club ), room was very nice, beds were super comfortable. Our room was sunclub pool view, it had a French balcony, so we could not sit on it, but we could open the window and allow a nice breeze into the room. We had zero problems with anything in the room. The wifi is great at this resort, strong signal everywhere and that includes the beach area. The beach is narrow but beautiful and you can walk it for miles. Snorkelling is amazing two feet off the beach, lots  [... read more]of fish to see and a couple of resident stingrays that hang out around the fishing boats. The kids pool area and Dinoland are very well done. Grandkids loved it. Food quality and selection were very good. We tried almost all of the restaurants (we did not go to Tiki taco) and were not disappointed. The buffet is very good and has something for everyone. Did not go hungry at this resort. Coco Cafe is a gem, great snacks and amazing cappuccino coffees. Entertainment was good, we enjoyed the Urban show, the Fire show and the Circus. The staff here is truly wonderful and will do everything in their power to ensure you have a great worry free vacation. This is not a five star resort, but it is a good four star, great value for your money and the staff are wonderful.

Camino Real Zaashila: Lovely quiet getaway

This charming resort is nestled into a beautiful bay just a short drive from Le Crucecita. This was our second stay at Camino Real Zaashila and the resort does not disappoint. Although the resort is starting to show its age, you forget about that as soon as you settle in. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is authentic Mexican and wonderful fresh seafood. You can even enjoy a sprinkling of grasshoppers in your omelette if you so desire! The staff have all been there for years and are [... read more] pleasant and eager to help. The beach is lovely and uncrowded, but the ocean is a bit rough, especially for smaller children. The only caution I have is that there are quite a few stairs so it can be a problem if you have mobility issues. Shopping in the nearby town is varied and lots of fun. So yes, the resort is starting to show its age, but it is definitely worth a visit.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Best Vacation ❤️❤️

The Bahia Principe Coba was amazing - super clean - very organized - all staff very friendly - food was all delicious- with lots of variety - tons of lounge chairs by every pool - the shows were the best I’ve seen - and tons of entertainment - will be back for sure 🇲🇽❤️

Grand Sens Cancun: Great first time experience

Amazing restaurants,very clean and spacious resort from rooms,grounds and restaurants.Employees were polite and very professional. Overall only issue was poor elevators.Rather inconsistent service on most days.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Fantastic Time at the Catalonia!

We stayed for 10 days and enjoyed every day! Food was great, including restaurants and buffets. Our room was amazing! Shout out to Amanda in housekeeping; Alejandro at the front desk, Antonio and all pool entertainment staff, waiter Bernardino at the El Marcado buffet restaurant! Enjoyed the kayaks and spa. Loved the Puerto Adventurous area! Felt at home the entire time. Planning to return!

Playa Mazatlan: Great Resort

The hotel is very clean ;well looked after. The beach is the best in that area. Location is very ideal for the golden zone tours and walking. It is within walking distance to stores, restaurants, bars and the Malecon. Customer service focused. Cannot say enough nice things about the hotel staff. Food and drink were much better than anticipated considering it is all-inclusive resort. The Italian a la carte restaurant was our favourite...beautiful, delicious, well presented and served meals!  [... read more]Their Casa Roberto a la carte restaurant offered amazing Mexican food.; we ate their twice. The Brazilian barbecue a la carte restaurant on the premises offered delicious food too. The sports bar at the resort felt just like home. We were there from 18th to 25th February. 2020 Mazatlan annual Carnival week was from 20th to 25th February which we didn't know when booked. Their Carnival is the 3rd largest World Carnival. It was very busy with tons of people out and about. The local transportation was available but some areas was challenging. We will return next year but not their Carnival week. We went out to explore and it was wall to wall people. Very interesting. However our next trip back will be better ( not Carnival week). By then Mazatlan will be back to their norm and easier to explore and venture off resort. This is what we like to do; get out and check out the area. Tip: find out when Mazatlan Carnival week is but that's only if you want to avoid being there Carnival week.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful

What a beautiful resort, great pools, buffet, restaurants and the service everywhere was amazing. Beach was a bit rocky, so take water shoes. Rooms were clean. Air conditioning worked great. Loved the sports bar.

El Dorado Seaside Suites: enjoyable resort

I would rate this complex very high but with one major fault. The beach sand area is perfect but one can't enjoy the water. 80% of the water area is covered in sharp jagged rocks. An area sectioned off for swimming isn't very deep and after walking out 200 yards the water level is about 2 feet deep and still has rocky areas.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: second time here and love this place

It is a beautiful resort with lots to do. grounds are very clean and staff is excellent. all the restaurants are amazing. we had an ocean front suite and it was spectacular. the beaches are beautiful and very clean. the night time entertainment was great and atmosphere is fun

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Good time

The food was average, service was great, activity people were fantastic, Fernando is the best and Antonio the server was great! Activity people all need to be on the same page about rules and guidelines, they would all say something different. Rooms were ok, maintenance needed to come faster and under the beds need to be cleaned out. Would recommend for a family only. No nightlife for young people.

Riu Tequila: TRULY AWESOME

Riu Tequila is a wonderful resort. It appeared to me early that this resort had a great management team with strong leadership skills. No matter which area or corner of the resort you were in the staff and workers were extremely positive, polite, friendly and eager to please. Such pleasure to see and feel. The food was terrific, great varieties and excellently prepared. Rooms are newly renovated, modern and refreshing. The pool's and pool area's are spacious with lots of chairs and palaps. Even [... read more]ing shows and nightly entertainment are very musical and colorful, with lots of dancing and singing, especially the White Party (60's 70's 80's tunes). A definite must see. The spa treatments are fantastic. Initially you think "WOW" this is a little pricey, however after you indulge in a massage, you gravitate to a different zone and a special level of appreciation. Well worth the price. Entrance to the beach is a short walk and even shorter ride. It is somewhat majestic, a long corridor with white pillar architecture, beautiful vegetation and greenery, also the occasional small monkey. It opens to a gorgeous sandy beach. A massive area decorated with palm trees and beach chairs. Very, very comfortable and relaxing setting. This is a truly awesome resort that caters to your comfort. I shall return!!

Hotel Emporio Ixtapa: Two weeks in the Hotel Emporio, Ixtapa

My objective in choosing this package was to find 2 weeks in an all inclusive, 4 star hotel in Mexico, on a beach and with direct flight from Montreal, for under $2,500 Cdn. This package cost $2,600 and I have no regrets. 5 hour direct flight on Air Canada, long queues for processing at Ixtapa airport but short and agreeable bus trip to hotel. Hotel is right on fabulous, uncrowded, golden sand beach. Best ever for walking. Older building 10 storeys. No balconies. Good views. Comfortable beds, ro [... read more]oms and ensuites could do with reno but pleasant and very clean. As well as North Americans, this hotel has many Mexican guests mainly from Mexico City: young families, including many well behaved toddlers and babies and some grandparents. One night a week we could reserve in fancy Italian restaurant Arrecife and another night for tables set up on terrace directly overlooking beach with grill. On Saturday night big fiesta themed meal set up under the stars. Otherwise ate buffet style in Condimento restaurant, again with amazing views over beach. Food good and included tasty Mexican dishes. Grounds well maintained. One decent sized pool, plus separate children's pool and Jacuzzi. Staff friendly well trained and managed. Hotel generally run as tight ship.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Tropical dream Resort

The staff were amazing very helpful and nice all the time. The resort was beautiful. We loved the adult area and the snorkelling. Our room was perfect all the time. The buffets were always good and the restaurants were super good.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Fantastic Vacation

Resort was excellent. Rooms were spacious and the maids did a great job keeping them clean. Grounds crew did an amazing job keeping everything looking beautiful. Staff were great, friendly and very attentive. Food at the buffets and a la carte restaurants was great, we were there for 10 days and never got tired of the food! I would definitely go back

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Sprawling resort needs a better restaurant reservation system

My husband and I spent our Anniversary week at Luxury Bahia Akumal from February 23 to March 1, 2020. We booked this location because it offered adults only facilities, was expansive and it was right on the water. The beach and grounds were lovely and well kept. We stayed in an ocean front room in building 66 which the closest to the beach and the perfect location. The rooms had basic furnishings and amenities. Some aspects of the room showed wear (eg - there was rust in the bath around some of [... read more] the fixtures and the tie backs on the bed curtains were dirty). While I’d consider the grounds and common areas 4 stars, the rooms could only be considered 3. They have many restaurants from which to choose, which was another selling feature, but it’s almost impossible to get a reservation! It seems that you have to book prior to arrival in order to get seating. This was very disappointing. When we could get a reservation it was at 5:30 or 9:30 for dinner. Thankfully the buffets were very good with a lot of variety. The resort was full of Canadians and although they have a lovely sports bar, they couldn’t play the Leafs or Raptors games. I’ve been to other resorts in Mexico that had access to all the games. This was also disappointing. The alcohol was not top shelf and some options like Grand Marnier was an extra charge. I couldn’t recommend this resort to people who are accustomed to 4.5 to 5 star resorts as the rooms are basic and in poor repair and lack of restaurant choice. The beach and grounds are truly beautiful, but I would only book this resort again if it was a deep discount.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Good clean adult retreat.

The resort is well maintained. Staff were busy cleaning everyday. Staff were excellent and friendly. Service was great , food was excellent. Loved the fact that you did not have to make reservations at the a la carte restaurants - it’s first come first serve. The beach snack bar was excellent (although under staffed). You could get chicken wings, ribs, fries, burgers, hot dogs, nachos and drinks. If you don’t mind walking a lot this resort is for you but if you have mobility issu [... read more]es there is a lot of walking from your room to the main restaurant areas. The breakfast buffet was excellent - service was fast and efficient - servers were excellent. Make sure you check out the sports area. It’s not well advertised but you can go paddle boarding, batting cage, archery. It’s a bit of a walk from the main area. Check out the other resorts you can go to with your reservation - one next door is HUGE! There is a casino and sports bar. Didn’t take in any of the nightly shows but heard great reviews from others. Get ready for the foam party every Saturday night. The main pool is very busy And logic music is played from 11-430 everyday; everyone rushes down in the morning to claim their chairs. If you aren’t down by 10 good luck finding a lounge chair. There is a quiet pool but it was a long walk from the main pool. Had a great time despite 3 days of cloud cover and cooler weather. Beach was okay but not as nice as some other resorts. Seaweed and rocky

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Exactly what we needed

All the amenities, clean, good food and amazing staff. Perfect 5 day getaway. The beach is beautiful. Quick access from the airport. The restaurants never has a wait and check in and out was a breeze.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

We were at the Royalton Riviera in Mexico again this year. Last year for 7 days. This year 10 days. Next year 2 weeks. What am amazing resort. Restaurants galore, Italian, seafood, Indian, steak, Mexican , Texan, Japanese, buffet etc...The most wonderful staff, many pools, great rooms. On & on & on. My one recommendation is book up to the Diamond Club. That will make your time there great!

Crown Paradise Golden: Great vacation

Great service and location. The resort is older but clean and well maintained for the most part. The staff are always working hard to ensure great customer service. The pools are a little too warm for my liking but the views from the rooftop pool is fabulous! The food was very good and the variety plentiful. If you can't find anything you like to eat here then perhaps you should not travel lol!! The Japanese, Mexican and mediteranian all had above average service and the food was great. We alwa [... read more]ys found something to our liking at the buffet, and when all else fails there's always the omelette station. We would suggest the resort could use more umbrellas and palapas, but many other guests have stated this. We always felt safe and walked off the resort a few times.Theres a mall close by with many stores.All in all a great family vacation with our adult children.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Nice and clean Resort

Resort is very clean, grounds, rooms, lobby, restaurants. Great food selection. Difficult to get reservations at all A'la carte's. Staff is nice. Entertainment is average, same as most resorts. Layout is great. Building 6 is very central to everything. Not enough pool chairs.
