Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Good review

I’m nit going to say this hotel was excellent because it wasn’t. The activities were great, the bar tenders by the smaller pool were great, food was awesome! But the pool side service never came to us, servers in the buffet for dinner didn’t care. The pools were really gross because they weren’t filled up enough and bring filtered properly. Now the ocean I can’t blame on the hotel but it was quite disappointing. So much seaweed, not much of a beach and the ocean had a red tinge.  [... read more] All in all for the deal we got I would consider to go back but it wouldn’t be my first choice

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Best resort ever

From the moment we entered the reception area we felt pampered. The staff, accommodation, surroundings, entertainment and restaurants were everything, and more, than expected. This is not our first Bahia, but certainly the best so far.

Catalonia Yucatan: Great resort!!

This was our second time staying at this resort,and it was just as good as the first time.The staff here are great,the food and drinks amazing. I like the fact that it is a smaller resort so you don't spend most of your time walking a mile to get somewhere. But it is not lacking in restaurants,bars,pools and activities.Our favorite place to eat was the steakhouse..t-bone steaks..need I say more. Looking forward to our next visit!!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Great resort

The hotel was great. The rooms were big and clean. Everything at this resort was great except for the beach area. The beach had too much seaweed and was very rocky. The food was delicious. Had a very good time. Also the weather was very hot. Just what I wanted!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Great adult only property

Food: buffet is great, lots choices and different features everyday. A la cart is not as good as other 5 stars in Cancun except Alux Beach: not big but water is shallow and sheltered from waves. Lots of activities like Zumba and yoga which is great. There are couple of fishes too if you like snorkeling. Service: great attentive staff. Overall we had a great time. Definitely great value for the price

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Disappointed

My husband and I have been travelling south for 15 years. This is the first time we have been so disappointed in the resort. We called our travel agent before going, as we had been told the beach was a mess with large piles of seaweed. He assured us that it was cleaned up. Apparently it has been a problem for some time as they had large man made barriers to try and keep the seaweed out. We could only swim in very shallow water. The resort itself was very clean and beautiful, the main lobby was a [... read more]lso closed for renovation, making it difficult to get around. The staff was kind and the food good. The drinks were poor quality, very difficult to find a good drink. I would never go back to this resort or recommend it to my friends.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: A Wonderful Resort

I stayed at the Azul Fives for 5 days. This was an impeccably clean resort. I mean impeccable. They staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The only downsides, in my view, were the quality of the beach, construction outside my room, and the low quality of the alcohol. The food quality was good, not terrible but not excellent either. I can recommend this hotel without reservation and would stay there again.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Resort was beautiful!

The rooms on the resort were very clean and the grounds very well maintained. We were disappointed with the beach due to the seaweed that came in on a daily basis. While the resort worked to remove the seaweed, it created a smell every morning during removal which was not pleasant. In addition, the main pool was closed due to renovation in which we were not advised. Otherwise, the staff and service were excellent. A special shoutout to Liberty & Lexa who were both wonderful in taking care of our [... read more] needs.

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: Beautiful gem

The resort was well layer out and offers something for everyone. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and I loved the "tropical" music produced by all the wildlife. The variety of restaurants and food would provide something for everyone. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an awesome vacation!!

Ocean Riviera Paradise: second time around just as good as the first!

We have visited this resort twice this year and both times were amazing. The beach isn't as good as other places like punta cana and varadero but the rest makes up for it. We love the layout of this resort, very easy to get around without confusion. We were booked in the el beso section both times and would highly recommend it if you are travelling without kids. The food was the best we had at a resort in the Riviera Maya. The bars were a little short staffed, and sometimes took a little while  [... read more]until being served but, heck, we were on vacation and had no particular place to be at any time. If the price is right next year, we will probably be returning .

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Love this resort! Beautiful ❤️

We went for a friend's wedding and it was beautiful ❤️ Nothing is perfect and of course there were some things that could be better, like better maintenance on the 3 pools. The service was great and I give the food a 8 out of 10. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. This was my second time at this hotel and I would go back again!!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Beach of seaweed

The grounds were well kept the food was excellent, the beach was poor, there really was no swimming just wading up to your waist in warm water and there was so much seaweed, they raked and hauled seaweed all day long. They actually had loaders and backhoes on the beach hauling it away. The beach was short and really difficult to walk along.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Funtastic Resort!

We had a blast at the resort, lots of activities to keep u busy, the shows are very entertaining, & you'll never be bored. Staffs r pretty friendly especially Daniel aka bartender in the Piano bar gives u the best service & drinks! Food r delish in all the restaurants just make sure u book for the Japanese restaurant in advance & also recommend the Italian & steak house. Yummo! Overall great experience!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Beautiful resort

The entire resort was beautifully landscaped, clean and nicely laid out. The food, entertainment and atmosphere was great. Pools clean. Beach was amazing. No problem getting chairs. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our coffee maker and light weren’t working. We reported the problem and it was fixed immediately. We would strongly recommend this resort.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Excellent

I find it very good and was lovely for my daughter lots if kids too and the travel from place to place was reasonable timing. Shopping was great the people were freidenly.over all i enjoyed it as a family vacation for fun sun and relaxing.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Great resort !

This resort was great! There is quite a bit to do and see there such as various trails, a mini zoo, a cenote and more ! The food there is absolutely delicious and always super fresh. The international buffet has different themes everyday which changes the food selection so there is always something new. The people there (staff, guests, visitors) are all super friendly and very helpful. The only thing I did t like was how the spa (which you have to pay extra for) walks around and pressures you in [... read more]to buying a massage which is WAY over priced. Once they give you the appointment there is no way to back out of it so either you go and pay around $90 a person or you don’t go and still get charged !!!! There are people on the beach who do it for half the price...don’t be sucked in by the spa. The beach they have is VERY rocky in the water. We went on an excursion to Maroma resort and the water there was MUCH less rocky. I guess it was just Sandos’s section that was like that. Everything was great otherwise. They upgraded us to a “better” room which was alright. It had a better bed and a “jacuzzi” tub (which didn’t work the greatest). They could improve on their plumbing but it wasn’t a huge issue. The best part was that there were free roaming animals EVERYWHERE! Anteaters, cats, peacocks,raccoons and MONKEYS!!! They were outside our balcony everyday which was really awesome.

El Dorado Casitas Royale: Not as expected

The grounds are fantastic, so many places to explore, loads of walking paths. The staff went beyond expectations, such great service and so much fun. Restaurants were really good, a good selection of options. But, the buffets were disappointing. Cold foods at the supper buffet. Selection in buffets were disappointing. We loved our room, we had a Casita, our area was really nice and the neighbours were a blast.We never made it to the large pools, enjoyed our area very much.The pools were gr [... read more]eat. The beach was such a disappointment, too rocky for a swim, never mind the huge piles of seaweed which washed up. We were there for 10 days and they were still cleaning it up when we left. We will not be back, but we never go to the same place twice. We would recommend to others, but will warn about what we found.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: It doesn't get much better that this

Whether you a family or a couple, this resort caters to both. Young family pool area, entertainment pool and an adult pool and swim up bar by the ocean. Multiple theme dining experiences and great evening entertainment.

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Disappointed

We have been wanting to go to this resort for for the last five years. We have stayed at one of their other resorts and we're very happy. But at this resort the rooms seemed dated and their was no dresser to put our clothes away. The closet doors you had to slammed closed or the light In the closet wouldn't go off. There was dried vomit on the tiles around the toilet. And the patio doors were not very secure. And they had a mimi fridge that had 2 beer and pop and water and that was called the mi [... read more]ni bar. The sofa in our first room looked like it was from the dump. Ripped and dirty. We paid for an ocean view and king bed. But we're given 2 doubles and a view of the trees. Front desk just said well you don't always get what you request but I said yes but I paid extra for a ocean view then you should get an ocean view. They did finally move us to an ocean view but why do you have to go through that. All the other staff that work there were really friendly and the food was OK too. .but I wouldn't go back to this resort.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Exactly what we wanted and exactly as advertised.

Everything on our trip was exactly as was promised and what we had wanted. The beach at Grand Sirenis isn't the long, lush "classic" Caribbean beach that everyone imagines but they never advertise that it is. It consists of three areas: there is a main area that is perfect for families with younger children, a little farther along is a smaller area which is used more by adults, for those wanting to be totally alone there is a secluded undeveloped beach which is a bit of a hike away but is als [... read more]o well worth the walk if you want to be alone. The snorkeling on the second beach was absolutely excellent with coral reefs and so many colourful fish so very close to shore. The resort is very clean, the food is actually very good and there is a coffee shop on site that has probably the best coffee we've ever had anywhere. We strongly recommend the Japanese restaurant for one of your a la carte evenings. The show, the atmosphere and the food is fantastic. Probably the most pleasant part of our experience was the room we were in. We've been in the Caribbean before where the rooms are "less than desired" and you are forced to reconcile your feelings by saying "well we will only be sleeping there". This isn't the case here. Our room was first rate in every respect. Immaculately clean, completely modern and a really great place to relax and unwind after a day enjoying the sun. The Wifi connection left a fair bit to be desired, however. The pubs are nice but the rooftop bar is the perfect place to end your night under the stars. It's elegant, tastefully decorated and the music is loud enough to enjoy but not too loud to also enjoy conversation with others. The resort is essentially full of Canadians and Brits. We noted very few Americans. Some of the Brits can be a little "over the top" but we had a great time with Canadians of all ages. The resort is incredibly large so it has enough size to have everything you want but it is also important enough to note that it isn't TOO LARGE. In other words, it's big enough to have everything but not so large that you have to take the golf cart shuttles anywhere, unless you want to. We walked everywhere, everyday. For those that want them, however, there are plenty of shuttles available. Our only "complaint"? The "main pool" was closed for annual maintenance during our visit. This did not affect us one bit. It was physically the farthest pool from our room anyway so we probably wouldn't have used it. Further, the resort was only about half full when we were there so the remaining pools were never so full that we couldn't find a lounge chair at any time of the day or found the pools to be overcrowded. Apparently it would have been a much different story if we had gone a few weeks earlier during Spring Break when they would have been at capacity but we also assume they scheduled this annual maintenance to coincide with a quieter period so that crowding wouldn't be an issue. The bottom line is that it did not create a problem for us whatsoever. We got exactly what we were looking for. A week of sun, sand, snorkeling and perfect Caribbean atmosphere combined with escaping the last of the Canadian winter.
