Holiday Inn Ixtapa: resort was nice

the rooms and grounds were very good service was good. drinks were very poor and food below average very nice location short walk to sport bars and decent food. can not believe that they could not make a margarita.

GR Solaris: Lovely resort

This was our second year in a row to spend time at the same resort. This itself proves that the resort is excellent. Not only we were the repeats, but we met with quite a few visitors who come to the same resort year after year.. Our room was large, very comfortable bed with ocean view. Our pleasant surprise each day was to see beautiful animal sculptures made from towels that adorned our bed. These were made by the fellow who looked after the upkeep of our room. Food selection was excellent, [... read more] in spite of us being vegetarians. Excellent Night shows with sit down dinners is the high light of this resort. The whole resort is kept very clean and one can notice that the dedicated staff is always cleaning. Pools are lovely with pool bar. Snacks around the pool are fresh and available in unlimited quantities so are various drinks. Servers do appreciate tips but unlike some other resorts where if servers are not tipped, they tend to neglect visitors...not at this resort. Overall we give this resort 5 stars.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Amazing Resort, VERY dated rooms.

This was my second time at this resort... here are my findings. 1) The Good - The resort is beautiful. The beach is amazing! The pools are fantastic and the staff is outstanding. 2) The Bad - The food is just okay. Not bad, just not great. The restaurants require ridiculous reservations and when you get there, they are half empty at 7pm. They REALLY do mean no shorts. I went with dress shorts and was turned away while guys with ripped jeans and backwards baseball caps were allowed i [... read more]n. Take advantage of the free mini golf, but know your kids (even as teens) cannot sign themselves in... for no good reason except that is the rule. WiFi is $60 CAD for TWO devices, but actually works pretty good on the resort, even on the beach. 3) The Ugly - The rooms are down right nasty. Now, the Premium rooms are nice, re-done and well kept. The standard rooms are run down, in desperate need of maintenance and we had ants all over the place. Tiny little ones. Didn't bother me, freaked out my kids. All in all, it was my second time there. We did have a good time for sure. Would I go back? Probably not... unless I got a Premium Level or stayed in the Palace / Riviera. I think next time we would just try something else for variety, not because of the resort. It really is beautiful, outside of the rooms.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Great Holiday

The resort, staff, food, and activities good and the whole family enjoyed our vacation. The only downside with the resort was that most excursions and shopping was an expensive trip into town. Some free shuttles several times a week would have been nice!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing Resort

There’s nothing to complain about.. everything exceeded my expectations..grounds are beautiful, service was excellent , food was amazing. Entertainment was great..our Butler Edgar was very accommodating everything was done immediately for anything we requested of him.. very helpful in helping us make sure we had the best experience throughout the resort.. the pool entertainers Caesar and Corina were great making sure everyone was having a good time .. One of our Tram drivers (sorry can’t re [... read more]member his name) made it so much fun driving us to our building or wherever we were going.. had the music blaring and even did some fun dancing moves to entertain us.. he was the BEST..what a memorable week.. planning on Re visiting again in a couple of months..

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: great place with some minor accessibility issues

Lovely location and property. Staff was very friendly. Booked because it was advertised as an accessible property as I am currently in a wheelchair. However while the property itself was accessible throughout, the room itself could have been better. The shower was accessible but did not have a fold down bench, so staff brought in a plastic patio chair with arms which was difficult. There was no door to the bathroom. Stayed in the old part as the new part for some reason did not have access [... read more]ible rooms which seems odd to me as it apparently was recently renovated.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Very natural setting.

Just spent a week at las Brisas. This resort is spread out in a natural area. Very nice with wildlife and flowers . They have a very good taxi service that takes you all over the resort. No worries if you can't walk. Check in was quick and easy. Food was all good although the Morrocan was a bit sketchy. Lots of pools and always a place to put your towel. Bars I lost count but your never far from one and they have baby Coronas in the rooms. Good entertainment a t night and some nice singers at [... read more] the main bar to. Great place I would go back again and yes I would recommend this place to everyone.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Relaxing and laid back resort

A friend and I stayed at OCT for a week. At the advice of my travel agent, we did not upgrade to ‘Privilege’. The room and resort on a whole were quite clean. We did not have trouble getting into any of the a la carte restaurants since we ate early and were there for 6 pm or shortly after. We especially enjoyed our dinner at Terraza D’Italia, Luis Trevino was an excellent host. The steak and veal were cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed eating at Sensai. WiFi was great throughout the res [... read more]ort, even by the pools and was complimentary which I hear is a bonus since a friend stayed at another resort nearby the same week and had to pay $30 USD for three days for spotty WiFi. The only suggestion I have is that the public washrooms near the pools be renovated to a bit larger cubicles, they were narrow and awkward. They could have been cleaned a little more frequently during peak hours of use.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Beautiful Relaxing Resort

Akumal Bay is a nice small resort with all the amenities. Rooms: All rooms have a view of the ocean and are quite large, clean and well maintained. Cleaning was done daily and bar fridge replenished. Food: Although the buffet is small there was always a good selection for everyone. Beach sushi bar is excellent as well as the 4 A la Carte restaurants (no reservations required). Staff: This is where the resort really shines. All staff are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I'm ter [... read more]rible with names so I can't really point out anyone in particular who went above and beyond but service was always fast and friendly Activities: Not a large amount of activities to do compared to big resorts but the beach was beautiful and great for snorkelling (turtles and fish are right in this bay).

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing Resort!

This resort had something for everyone! The room was nice and clean. The food was great nothing lacking something for everyone. There was no lacking in the cocktail area, premium drinks for everyone! The staff was accommodating wherever asked for anything and friendly. I would totally recommend this resort and would definitely go again if given the opportunity. Love this resort and people.

Allegro Cozumel: nice resort

This resort will not serve alcohol until NOON.. they had a notice on the bars stating it was Mexican law ! This was false so I was told, it is only this resort that came up with this rule!!! so I will not be returning here in the future.. the grounds and rooms are nice. The food was repetitive with little variety.

Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Great resort

The hotel is great. Food is also very good at all their restaurants. Service is amazing, they always find a solution to please your needs. The gym is one of the best that i have seen in any resort. The only negative I have is that the house Wine at all the restaurants have gone down in quality compare to 2 years ago when we were there at the same time.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Fabulous service, food and location

All the staff provided quick, friendly service with a smile. The food was very good with a nice variety. Our ocean view room on the 3rd floor provided all we needed with great view of pool, ocean and mountains. Loved the sunsets. We chose Buenaventura for its location close to The Malecon. 10 to 15 minute walk depending on how many shops you stop in along the way. Excursions to the Marina and Bucerias went very smoothly using the bus system. Lots to do in PV. We'll be back and definitely stay at [... read more] Buenaventura again.

Dreams Huatulco: Fantastic Vacation!

Very nice resort. Rooms are clean and well kept. Food is very good. Some of the best we have had in Mexico. Nice beach and pool area. Friendly staff. Only negative is people getting up at 6am to save beach chairs.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Fabulous vacation place

Our stay was fantastic, great food, pool areas very clean, workers very friendly, there was a variety of mixed drinks available, evening show very enjoyable and lots to do for those who would be interested.

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Great beach. Ocean view 👌

Stayed on the 8th floor of new building. Ocean view was amazing! Saw 2 humpbacks from the balcony. The view was a great mix of the ocean/beach, mountains and city. The food was okay. Bed was comfy, room was new and clean. Id go back.

Holiday Inn Huatulco: Great place to stay

All Staff very warm and welcoming. Rooms very clean. FYI.....most rooms do not have a refrigerator, Service is great! Wifi was very good. Centrally located, its in walking distance to centre of town. Marina is close by, as well as a beach, small craft market, pharmacy, are 5 minutes away. There are some good restaurants nearby if looking for a change. The hotel is generally quiet, a good place for R&R. Food is good, even though there have been some menu reductions. The bar only offers do [... read more]mestic alcohol so if your looking for a particular kind of whiskey or Gin get it from duty free as it may not be found.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Very good holiday

Feb 7 - 11, 2020....Approx 90 minutes from the Cancun airport. Once we got through the madness that was the international arrivals (several plane loads arrived at the same time!), the rest went smoothly. Check in was quick and they were able to accomodate most of our room requests. Ended up close to the beach which was perfect. Room - huge junior suite, ours had 2 double beds, third floor. At first glance it is shiny and perfect. Looking closer, you could see that it needed a bit of tlc as [... read more] there was some staining on the couch and chair fabrics and the window sheers needed a good clean. However, very good amenities provided like coffee maker, mini fridge with beer and pop, large jug of drinking water, iron and board, makeup mirror, hair dryer, etc. Large bathroom with whirlpool tub and the toilet was private in a watercloset. Food - Buffets had lots of choices and pretty much everything we tried tasted great. The biggest issue was the buffet food temp was usually only barely lukewarm. A la Cartes... had Mexican, Thai and Japanese..... all were excellent food quality, at least to our taste. Also a beach buffet which we did not try except for the chicken wings which were really good. Pools - did not go in or sit around as we prefer the beach but they looked good. Beach - small with a lot of coral chunks so do bring water shoes and sandals for walking. We picked this hotel specifically for the snorkelling. Because of the rockiness and the reef areas this is known as an amazing off the beach snorkelling hotel.... unfortunately the weather did not cooperate as it was windy the whole time we were there and the visibility was very poor. Not the hotel's fault, just the luck of the draw and we lost! Fun stuff - lots of wildlife - Coatis, iguanas, geckos, different birds, etc in a jungle setting. Awesome to see! The lazy river is a great feature. The night time shows are the best we have experienced at any AI resort as far as professionalism in dance and singers. Even though I have never been a Michael Jackson fan, I basically ignored the MJ actor/dancer and loved the dancers. Also saw the Lion King and Broadway shows. Very well done. There is a small Cenote on the property with a small Spider Monkey population.... magical! Please Do Not Feed The Monkeys.... there are signs and too many people ignore them. These are wild animals and feeding them not only presents risk to the humans, it can also be very harmful to the animals as they lose their natural fear of humans and we can kill them with kindness by feeding them foods that can potentially harm them as not what they find in the wild..... this includes bananas believe it or not. Never had a problem getting sunbeds on the beach before 9am. Overall a good hotel but is a bit tired and could use some work. Huge property so be prepared to do a lot of walking - one day we did 18,000 steps! We would go back but would have to be a better sale than what we paid this time and hopefully next time the ocean will be calmer so we can snorkel! We rate it as a solid 4*

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Wonderful Experience

We found the staff, food, facilities and attention to detail were all top notch. Minor issues at check in were quickly resolved to our complete satisfaction. The quality of food in ala carte restaurants was exceptional and the best we have experienced in our many vacations over the years. We will definitely consider coming back.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Would Book Again!

Stayed at The Hilton January 31 - February10. Overall very clean hotel with excellent staff. Food was probably the best tasting for an all inclusive that I have experienced but this is subjective. Two main pools - one warm but one very cold. WiFi only available in public areas unless you are a Hilton Honours member or they ask you to pay $10/day US. (HINT ... go on line and register as a Hilton Honours Member for free. They will send you a membership number. Show this number at the desk  [... read more]and you will get free WiFi in your room .) Too far to walk to the Malecon but cab ride is only 85-120 pesos. Will likely stay at this hotel again next year.
