Grand Riviera Princess: Nice Resort

The resort itself was beautiful and very clean. It was a massive place, in some parts it was really quiet and dead which depending on what you like could be good or bad. Didn’t really have that Mexican feel that I like. The staff were very nice and helpful, we had a few minor issues with our room and they were quick to fix it. The food wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great. We stayed in the family club with a swim up room. It was nice and convenient for the kids but was really quiet [... read more] and secluded. Again, depending on what you like could be good or bad. I would recommend bringing your own music and speaker. The family club pool does not connect to the other pools. The beach was very happening, lots going on and tons of chairs. I did not like swimming in the ocean. It was very rocky and lots of seaweed and could not see the bottom. I went in holding my toddler and I struggled to get back out. If that stuff doesn’t bother you then you can get to nice sandy spots. Water shoes would help.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Amazing vacation

The only down side to this resort is the beach the water is not that pretty blue clear the sand is white and clean and it very private no one is there trying to sell you anything. out of 5 stars I would give it 4.5

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Excellent Resort!!

Well I'm not one to usually write reviews but all I can say is Amazing!!! Our stay at the resort was nothing less than perfect, the room was amazing the staff was very friendly, helpful and entertaining.The food was excellent we did not try all the restaurants due to the ones we did go too were so good we went again.The pools were great and very well kept "never clouded by sunscreen ". I would have to say the only downside was the beach only due to the amount of seaweed " not from lack of the  [... read more]staff trying to clean it up " it happens.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Best resort ever.

Iberostar always does things right, from the food to the grounds and the entertainment. This resort is great and you have the ability to use 2 of the connected iberostar resorts as well. Iberostar always seems to deliver the best bang for your buck. We will be going backs soon and hopefully bringing many other friends with us.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Loved it!

Had a great vaca last week at the Grand Sirenis! Perfect weather,amazing food at the buffet and a la carte restaurants as well, wonderful service and clean resort. This resort is quite spread out but didn't hurt to walk a bit and shuttle service was available as well. My 7 yr.old granddaughter found lots to do at the kids club. Only down side was the beach, not as sandy as some in this area, but we knew going in that it was in a cove of coral rock, which was better for snorkelling! Lots o [... read more]f chairs at the beach and around the pools, and they didn't run short of fresh towels! Oh, and lots of bacon at breakfast buffet!! Many thanks to Karol from trip central!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing resort :)

Our trip to hotel Sian Kaan was incredible. The hotel is amazing to stay in, Coba, Tulum and Akumal do not compare. Being on Sian Kaan (which they cannot enter) and then being on their grounds helped us compare the quality of the two. The experience at Sian Kaan is 5 star. It's private, service is amazing, quality of amenities is immaculate. It was a secret getaway away from the beaches and away from the busy, chaotic and "all over the place" other hotels. Those hotels were not adult only - whic [... read more]h could be why they did not compare to the quality at Sian Kaan. They also were much larger and quality was scarce. Beach service at the private Sian Kaan beach was amazing. Martha was the best host out there every day Tuesday to Sunday. All the other staff (except for the staff that books reservations at restaurants....) Were incredible. Use phone app to book. Go early to beach or pool and reserve spots, every one does it.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Family Friendly Resort

Rooms were very clean and maintained daily. The pool for the kids was great for our 1 year old and our 3 year old. They had activities for the kids daily and shows every evening. The food was amazing. Very tasty and lots to go around. They seemed to be slightly understaffed but all the staff were very friendly and willing to help at any time. The showers were steaming hot but still hot enough. The beach had a lot of seaweed when we went but the hotel tried their very best to maintain it. Ov [... read more]erall the hotel was amazing, everything was close, no long walks to any particular area, friendly, well organized, great for families, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Mexico.

Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort: Viva Catalonia Yucatan!

I went to this resort solely for R & R and it did not disappoint. We were in a group of 4 and 2 of us upgraded to Privilege and 2 didn't. This way we all had access to the "privilege" beach & bar. If you are a poolside person then the upgrade for an extra $185 each probably isn't worth it. The beach is lovely white sand and you can snorkel and swim in the clear Caribbean sea right in front of the resort. There are quite a few interesting fish but if you want to swim with the turtles go to Akuma [... read more]l. The food was quite good and the a la carte restaurants were very good. The staff were hard-working and friendly. My only 2 complaints were that sometimes the music was extremely loud poolside and was American rock rather than Mexican music....I like to listen to Latin music while in Mexico. The other complaint is that smoking was allowed in the pool and at the swim-up bars. Most of the guests when we were there were French, Italian, some Mexican and a few Canadians & Americans. Over all a very good value for money resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Fantastic resort

We really enjoyed the resort , food was superb, the hotel was Kept very clean, the grounds were beautiful. The staff was very attentive, friendly and very accommodating when we were unsatisfied with our room . I will most definitely go back to this resort.!

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Loved this resort!

This resort is beautiful. The grounds are very well manicured the rooms are nice and kept very clean. The food and drinks were delicious. There is lots of variety and selections to choose from. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. This has definitely been one of the nicest resorts I’ve stayed at. I would love to go back there again.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Excellent resort!

Everything at the Royal Playa Del Carmen was top notch. Super clean, excellent food, friendly professional staff. Beach was beautiful. Pools lovely. Close 2 minute walk to 5th avenue for fun shopping. Highly recommend the Royal PDC!!

El Dorado Seaside Suites: Amazing food and great service.

Hotel has a first class culture trained into their staff. Grounds are beautiful and well kept . Rooms and resort very clean. I will visit Karisma resorts again in the future. Outstanding staff! Food was very delicious, tender , presented well. Ate at most restaurants on the resort. Bartenders were great introduced to new shooters and drinks. Participation team were awesome and entertaining. Night shows were fantastic and kept me highly entertained.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Another stay at the Grand Bahia Principe Coba

On my last visit to the Grand Bahia Principe Coba three years ago this resort was stellar, thus the reason I had decided to return for second visit. We had no issues with Trip Central or Air Transit...all employees were very pleasant and helpful. The flight was fine both ways. The bad: My second experience this time was just okay, we noted a lack of care this time...just little things, however, those little things made you feel welcomed last time like towel art, turn down service and little  [... read more]notes left by the cleaner to say thank you for the gratuity and to enjoy our night. When we booked I advised that my Mother was 75 and had mobility issues...we needed a lower floor as there are no elevators in the buildings. I even mentioned it again in an email sent a week prior when reserving our restaurant choices. Without any consideration for an older person having to walk up and down three flights of stairs several times a day, we were assigned a third floor room. I insisted on a lower floor and was told we would need to wait until 4 pm to get into our room which when we did arrive we did not have any of our upgrades. I purchased the golden package same as last time, however, I had to ask for the upgrades like blue towels in room, robes and slippers. I even had to ask for our free bottle of tequila and there wasn't any turn down service provided even after I noted it as being part of the package. The floor in our room was never cleaned during the time we stayed in the room, there was a sticky spot on the floor which remained there until we left. The coffee maker was full of dust. The building corridor and stairs were never swept or mopped, there was the same clump of hair sitting on the stairs for the week. I mentioned this to Daniel and Omar at customer relations and I was told we would have a deep cleaning of our room for two days, however, this didn't happen and there was never any follow up to ensure the work had been done. There really is no way to explain how bad the beach areas are unless you see them for yourself. The smell of dead fish is so strong and the mounds of seaweed are never ending each day along the shore line throughout the whole strip of the resort. We gave up on the beach areas. This of course is not the resorts fault as they are constantly trying to clean up the mess, however, the seaweed just keeps coming on shore on-stop. Who wants to sit in a lounge chair with piles of stinky seaweed all around them while you smell dead fish and a loud bull dosser is puttering in front of you with gas smell...there were bugs flying around while you are trying to relax...it was totally gross. I hope for the resorts sake that this issue clears up soon. If you are a beach lover I don't recommend going to the Mayan area until this issue clears up unless you are a pool person and then there are plenty of pools to satisfy. Playa Del Carmen beach area was worse when we went for the day. The good: We made the best of our vacation even though there were things that were not so great. The resort still has the same great facilities, entertainment and the food is really exceptional. The workers really work hard in all they do...they should be tipped when you feel they have provide a good service as they depend on tips as part of their pay. We especially enjoyed the Kukulcan buffet as they have so much variety and the food is so fresh. Our two favorite restaurants were the Mediterranean and Le Gourmet restaurants. The staff were amazing...a special hello to Angel our server in the Le Gourmet he was so friendly. The only excursion we did during our trip was the jewelry and tequila factory excursion. This is a free trip sponsored by the jewelry company which they take you on a tour of their shop which is stunning and show you their jewelry and wares. There is no pressure to buy although I purchased a gorgeous necklace with a stone that changes colour in different lighting. At the Tequila Factory we sampled many different tequilas...the coconut tequila is the best in our opinion...a must try...I believe it was $48 USD to buy a bottle. The coffee tequila was good too. A special hello goes out to David who assisted us with the tasting he was so friendly and knowledgeable. They take you to both facilities and then to Playa Del Carmen where you have two hours to shop and look around. They pick you up at a designated spot which is a restaurant. The free appetizers offered are so good...there a must try as well. The servers are super friendly. It was so hot outside on the day we went, we tried to stay in the stores as long as we could until the two hours was up. All in all it was a great trip. I think next time I vacation I will try a new resort with a great beach...somewhere new.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Huge Resort

This is a great resort with lots of things to do and lots of pools to sit at. The beach had a lot of seaweed but if you walked down towards the Caribe/beach hotels you could walk in the Ocean much easier. The food was delicious except for the Italian a la carte restaurant. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were nicely updated. Mini bar was restocked everyday and the rooms were cleaned in a timely manner. Be aware that it is a very long drive from the airport so keep that in mind when consid [... read more]ering flight times but check-in was quick and smooth. It is also worth noting that there are TONS of kids. The resort is big enough that you can find places to sit that have fewer or no kids but if you are looking for a resort with adults only this is not the one.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Fantastic resort!!

We do like the hotel but it is a little too big for us. The rooms were nice and totally loved the soaker tub and jets.Great for soaking in after a long day in the sun The food is fantastic. We spent an afternoon at the spa which was amazing, totally worth it! The hydrotherapy was so fun and relaxing. Grrat place for families as there were lots of kids...of all ages! This was our second time there.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Best trip ever!!!

We arrived on the 14th of April. Check in was easy. They took care of our luggage. We were in building 22. We were greeted by Alma St Clair. Who was very professional and catered to all our needs. She was amazing!!! The resort was like a dream come true for me. I loved all the wild life and the jungle feel to this resort. It took a few days to figure out our way around,but we found all the staff to be very helpful. Oh yes, the staff. Nothing short of amazing! And that is what is so importan [... read more]t to me. Is to feel that I am part of a family. I would like to mention a few people that stand out... Our housekeeper,Antonio, our waiters in the buffet,Julio Valez,Joseph Perez,and Sergio Trujillo. Also the medic who looked after my toe that I had cut, Emmanual Delos Santos. He has a special place in my heart. He was so good! I want to say that our room was great. Loved the pools and the entertainment. The different restaurents were all good. The wine could be a bit better, my only complaint... I will return and will recommend this hotel to all. A very special holiday!!!

Grand Riviera Princess: Amazing resort

I appreciate how management and staff treat guests with respect you feel like you’re prince and princess from our arrival to our departure time . I will go back with my extended family I highly recommend this hotel .

Selection Riviera Cancun: Favourite Hotel in Puertp Morelos

Premium room, close to beach. Room lovely with plenty of amenities. Staff was fantastic, remembered your name and treated you special. Restaurants top notch. Beach had lots of seaweed when we arrived, but the staff worked non-stop to get rid of it. Bali beds had to be booked by 3 pm for next day. Butler service on Beach was the best.

Reception book in was quick and easy, seamless. Daniel, reception supervisor, was wonderful to deal with, always making sure we were satisfied. Thank you, Daniel.

We only wish the satellite television service would include some Canadian content, both English and French. PLEASE. Booking reservations with Jose at the public relations desk was very pleasant. Jose was eager to make our reservations according to our needs and schedule.... Jose is a GEM! The beach is a certain distance from the hotel Sian Ka'an. I will say the trolley services were quick and efficient, I probably think walking would be daunting in the heat of the day. Martha at the Sian Ka'an beach bar came frequently with fruit skewers, Mojitos or whatever beverage our hearts desired, and always with a big smile😁...lovely. The bar services at the pool were equally pleasant. Mariana and Julio provided amazing service, remembering our favorite beverages, and delivering to our lounge chairs beside the pool. We made such good connections with the beautiful Mexican staff, memories that will last.
