Riu Palace Baja California: 8/10

Worth it, would stay again. Buffet food is aight, specialty restaurants less so. Older crowd, but they definitely like to drink. Nightly entertainment is aight too, but goes on for too long and is too loud. You can hear it blasting at night.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: The resort is amazing exactly how we expected

No complaints about anything. The resort is amazing the people are friendly, the food was great. The beach is nice but a little crowded and noisy for me. But this can’t be avoided especially when this noise was made by the tourists and the hotel cannot do anything.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Beautiful resort with a very relaxing atmosphere

The resort grounds were beautiful and so were the rooms although I did find the layout including a tub in the middle of the room a little odd. Loved the shower with the big rain shower heads. We didn't have any plumbing issues which is a first for a southern/carribean resort. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was nice and big and the doors were very sound proof which I appreciated. The only negative thing I can really say is the food at the buffet restaurant wasn't that great. However [... read more], the Italian and the Asian restaurants were amazing. Men need to wear pants in the restaurants though so don't forget to pack them. Overall I loved how quiet and relaxing the resort was. No loud music thumping all day long. If you wanted action you just went next door to the sister resort - that's where all the noise was lol I loved the beach and the area and we saw lots of wildlife including coatis, wild boar, deer, lots of birds and iguanas and even monkeys! It was a lovely vacation - we didn't want to leave.

Grand Palladium Select White Sand: Our Mayan Riviera Trip

Public areas and grounds were very well kept - pleasing to the eye and clean. Buffet was very good. There were a multitude of options for evening dining - all of which were very good. All staff were very courteous and helpful. Our room was large and spacious but could have been better maintained. House cleaning varied each day - sometimes four towels, then two... Facecloths one day then none... Bar soap then none... Even though we tipped, service didn't improve... The room itself had [... read more] a musty smell, as did the pillows and cloth cushions. The resort tried to address then offered a move. Looking back, we should have asked for a second or third floor room. It probably would have offered more air flow... Highly recommend the Ek Balam and cenote tour. It was a highlight with no crowds. Out TripCentral tour agent was excellent. SunWing rerouted our bags so they arrived late in the day after we arrived to the resort. Since bags are to travel with their owners, and we paid extra for priority status, this did not make sense. We were not told at the site of our departure only when we arrived in Mexico. Return home was delayed by 3 hours. Sunwing could have advised our hotel and changed our pickup time.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Fantastic Vacation

We have just returned from a fantastic week at the BP SK. For us we found the place relaxing and very enjoyable. Keep in mind that this resort is not for everyone. The resort is located away from the beach and you have to take a trolly to the beach. No big deal for us. We found it relaxing to return to the quiet after a day on the beach. The Beach is fantastic and there is no reserving of chairs. We never has a problem finding a decent spot no matter what time we arrived. The rooms are a little  [... read more]tired and dated and could use a refresh but the room was very clean. The service and the people are what make this place great. All the staff work very hard to tend to your every need. The food is very good. Never had a bad meal at any of the restaurants or the buffet. We did eat at the buffet at the Ackumal while on the beach and had mixed experiences. It was very busy all the time and they kept running out of things and were not quick to replace them. Overall if you are looking for a budget friendly, nice clean resort where the service fantastic, this place will deliver. We will return.

Occidental Tucancun: So Much Fun!

This hotel excided all expectations. Was clean, friendly staff who were willing to go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend this resort. The pools were kept clean and the grounds were well manicured.

Occidental Cozumel: Big resort

The grounds were clean but lots of walking to everything. Service not so good . Friendly people . Night life there wasnt much . Food was ok samething everyday. Not much variety . The booze was not strong at all. I give it a 2 out of 10

Selection Riviera Cancun: Perfect resort, perfect vacation!

Azul Beach Resort is the perfect resort get away. We had an amazing time with a group of 10 friends and cannot say enough about the atmosphere, rooms, food and service. It all exceeded our expectations and I would absolutely consider going back to this resort again.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Awesome Resort !!

We were there from Feb 5-12 and had the best time with Friends and Family !! Food was the best we have had !! Rooms were spacious and clean, and the grounds and pool were kept clean and tidy ! We would definitely recommend this resort to anyone !

Riu Emerald Bay: Beautiful Resort!

We arrived prior to check-in time but that was fine; grabbed our suits and went off to the pools, which were amazing. Lounge chairs were plentiful and the beach front was great, very walkable. Could use a couple more a la carte restaurants as the buffets get a bit tired after a few days but we made due. Resort was quite a ways out from the Golden Zone but the Green Bus gets you there for 11 pesos/person each way. Our beach view room was perfect for us; good size for two and double sinks were a p [... read more]lus. Overall, we would return; only drawback was the location of the resort but as I said, the Green Bus gets you where you want to go so not a huge negative.

Riu Flamingos: OK Hotel

The hotel is a little on the older side and the rooms smell very musty. However, the food selection was great, most of it was very good. The pools, beach area and grounds were excellent. The evening programs were very good. Certainly a place geared for children. Most of the staff were excellent. We did have one complaint: upon entering our room at the hotel we were given a very small room with a queen size bed and bunk beds. It was very small and as we had 2 suitcases we put one on the s [... read more]uitcase bench provided & the other on the bottom bunk. It was very small but we thought we could live with it if we had to. We then went out to our balcony and it faced garbage cans & a bus parking lot. As we like to use the balcony, this was not acceptable so we went directly to the front desk to see about getting our room changed. The hotel attendant wasn't very pleased and he asked if we had touched anything & we said one of the suitcases was on the bunk bed to which he said we had to stay there that night and be out of the room the next day by 11:00 and to come back at 3:00 the next day to get the door key to another room. So we spent the first night in a small & very noisy room (not just buses but the air conditioner vent was broke and rattled so we had to turn off the air to sleep), and half the next day without a room to go to. The room we eventually got into was OK.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Not a golfer, but this was a hole-in-FUN

Well, technically it was relaxing than fun, but gotta love the wordplay :) On the plus side, it was beautiful, well serviced, food was good, and the entertainment was surprisingly quite talented. The silent disco was definitely a highlight. And the rooftop Jacuzzi was well worth the extra cost. Never an issue getting a chair at the pool (on the adult only side) although this was apparently low-season. TIP- Ensure to call your concierge/butler to arrange the tub to be filled, and of cour [... read more]se ask for bubbles. On the downside, the website/app didn't always have the correct info about the entertainment/location, and with the trams/golf cart routes take a bit of getting used to, we missed the Circus show :( This issue is also compounded by the booking of the a la carte restaurants, which if you book when you get there, you're already too late. We could only get essentially the 5:30 or 9:30. TIP - Book these before getting there. Or if you have a late booking, show up early to see if it's possible to start earlier (might be no shows, etc.)

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Good Resort, lots to do , February is a great time to go

Grounds were well kept. Food at the Buffet was plentiful, great variety, always hot. We went to the Steak Restaurant, food was cold, steak was tough, the Italian Restaurant, not dishes we would eat more like a sampling than a dinner, however Route66, the Japanese Restaurant and the Buffet were fantastic. Nighttime shows were good. Lots to eat and drink. A couple of things that could be improved, a notice advising which Restaurants were closed on which nights and smaller forks at all the t [... read more]ables, one fork was normal the other was huge. Staff was always friendly. I would recommend this resort to others but let them know which restaurants to eat in. Coffee and Ice Cream Shops were a daily visit

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Amazing!

Second time at this hotel. We stayed at the palace the first time and the tropical this time. I liked the tropical better because it’s central! So much to do here! Loved the dolphins and the zip lining

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Absolutely perfect

This hotel is perfect. We were there with 5 children and they were never bored. There is so much to do at this resort you really don’t have to leave. We went zip lining and it was a great course! The staff are friendly and the food is terrific. Truly not one thing I can complain about!

Azul Ixtapa Resort: not coming back for a 3rd trip

This was my second stay at this resort. I love the facilities and the amenities what I didn't care for was that the resort allows the locals to purchase a day band and visit the resort. I understand that the hotel has to find ways to make money when the rooms are not filled to capacity (which they weren't) but when it gets hard to find a chair at any of the 3 pools and the staff is run off of their feet trying to keep up with the demands of the day pass patrons (food, drinks, and supervision) it [... read more] becomes not enjoyable for those that spend a lot of money to come for a week or more. I didn't pay to have to place my towel on the pool deck. If the facility is wondering why the Canadians are not participating in the outdoor activities they should look at their signage or lack of signage in English. When the resort is 90% spanish speaking with minimal english spoken and no english signage describing where to go for the dinner shows or what the pool contest is (in English) you won't find many English speaking people interested in participating. The hotel has a lengthy written policy regarding noise in the rooms and noise on the balconies. However the policy does not apply to the hotel. There was a private show for one of the companies that had a training session in the facility while i was there and I called the desk twice to ask when the show was going to end as it was held outside and was super loud. I wasn't the only one that had called the desk. The outdoor show ended at 11:45 pm. Like seriously live by the rules that you want to apply to all other guests. Also what is with the daily evaluation of the maid service? People on vacation don't want to fill out daily surveys. I understand that they need to know if their staff is doing a fabulous job but let's face it if I was missing towels etc I would have called the desk.

Holiday Inn Huatulco: Loved this resort!!

The hotel was clean, staff were great.....friendly and helpful! The location was great....close to everything. My only suggestion would be to expand the pool area....not really enough lounge chairs. The menu for the all inclusive could be enhanced as well.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Beautiful Resort

We found the resort to be one of the best we have been to. The grounds were well looked after. Rooms were large and modern. Lots to do from ocean, lazy river, pool and seeing the beautiful dolphins. Food and bar service was great. Miguel who served in the buffet room was an amazing server who looked after us at breakfast everyday. It was our pleasure to tip everyday our person who cleaned our room, all the servers who looked after us daily for food and drinks.

Armony Marival Resort and Spa Punta de Mita: Amazing

Beautiful property.The beach was beautiful and the grounds where kept so clean.Food was ok but not great but what do you expect at an all inclusive.Very quiet at night so it's definately not for younger people.Lots of grey hairs at this resort.If I ts peace and quiet you want then this is for you

Occidental Cozumel: good resort - fun but not amazing

grounds and public areas were clean -- food was good but not a lot of variety in the buffets -- rooms were very roomy but always felt damp -- cleaning staff was excellent lots of this to do at the resort and away from the resort we felt comfortable
