Grand Palladium Colonial: Excellent family resort

We travelled to this resort for seven days around New Years 2018. It was our second visit to this resort. Check in was efficient and friendly. Our room, a junior suite, clean and well furnished and maintained. The rooms are sized big enough to store all of our luggage and still move freely. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very nice with a good shower. Grounds were well maintained. Food at the buffets was very good. We tried a couple of the a la cartes, and they were a bit "h [... read more]it and miss" as the waits were long and probably not worth the wait, although the food quality and service was very good. We used mostly the main pool at the Coloniel and it is very nice. Service at the swim up bar was excellent. There were a lot of activities going on around the pool which would satisfy most age groups. Bars serve Dos Equis beer, which is decent. Liquor was of decent quality, and bar staff was always fun and friendly. The beach isn't fantastic for swimming, but is a nice area for lounging. The resort also has a sizable "sports area" with soccer fields, volleyball, tennis and basketball, amongst other sports. The evenings usually featured an international pickup soccer game which became a highlight for my teenaged son. Nightlife is probably lacking as the resort is some ways from the clubs in Playa, and not much is going on at night, but for families this may not be an issue. If you are going to party, this probably isn't the resort for you. Location is quite a way from Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Good that the resort is somewhat isolated, but about 1 hour drive from the Cancun airport and about a 20 minute shuttle from Playa. Overall, the resort is well maintained, with nice rooms, good food and service and nice pool. Beach and "nightlife" were negatives.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Exceptional staff

The grounds are beautiful & well maintained. Always carts to take you to your restaurant or to the beach which is 5 minutes from Coba

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Solid 4 Stars Resort

Honest solid 4 Stars resort - much greater than some acclaimed 4.5/5 star resorts It is evidently an amazing hotel and in a great location. All rooms have an ocean view. The beach is one of the best Mexico has to offer with various sealife in it's ocean like turtles, rays and fishes. We traveled over the holidays and the Christmas eve dinner was definitely outstanding. Special thanks to the Management for the disciplined and helpful staff.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Great Food!

Small restaurants, amazing food and service. Essence section was new and modern, beds comfortable. Lots of pool, bar areas and quiet spaces to relax. The main pool and beach are great for the Mayan. Wine is drinkable.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya: good resort with a few glitches

Secrets Capri is a good resort with great service. The room is comfortable if a bit small. The food is great, and the staff really try to please you. Couple of things I found distasteful is that the resort tries to sell you tables around the pool area for dinner in order to watch the show. In an all inclusive resort this shouldn't be happening! Also, the cabanas on the beach and around the pool are not included in the resort. They charge $70 US per day for the use of the cabanas!!!! I giv [... read more]e this resort a 4 star based on this. Had they included the cabanas , I would give it 5 stars.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Fantastic Resort

Loved the resort, food delicious,drinks flowed only one issue. Our building 29 must be close to the sewage treatment facility as the smell was so bad in one of the rooms we requested to be moved. It took 2 days for the move to happen and not sure if anything was resolved as the room appeared to be occupied the next day by new tourists. The facility is kept clean and comfortable and the staff couldn't be more kind. Would recommend this resort and look forward to going back!!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: BAHIA PRINCIPE COBA

My husband and I traveled to this resort for a 4 day stay. It was a beautiful place. Well maintained. Clean. Not a worry about bed bugs or cockroaches, which I throughly inspect upon arrival. Staff were friendly and service was very good. Food quality was good also. Clean dining rooms and buffet area. Clean snack bar. Many a la carte restaurants to chose from. Resort was huge! You have to get around by trolly. They stop often at designated posts. The only hard thing was to get to the beach. You  [... read more]couldn’t walk there way too far. And a lot of the trolly cars didn’t go there you would have to wait for 5 to go by before one would take you there. Sometimes we waited half hour at the station. Once at the beach they had a beautiful buffet and beverage station that you could access. This was one of the most beautiful resorts I’ve seen. The attention to detail by the staff was so impressive you can tell a lot of hard work goes into making guests truly have the best vacation Thanks again from the Beaupre family

Catalonia Yucatan: We'll be back!

As I said, "We'll be back!". Maybe next time we'll try Catalonia Maya. New Year Eve prices were slightly overpriced, but it's ok. I almost forgot: guys, you have to do something with the beach chairs/loungers: no one available after 8:00 A.M.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Outstanding Resort

This was our 3rd visit to the Iberostar Quetzal. We enjoyed this last visit just as much as our first. The food; amazing. The buffet is just as good as the al a cart restaurants. The grounds: impeccable. Jungle views, monkeys, peacocks, flamingos are just a few of the sights you will see. The beach: perfection. Soft, white sand and crystal blue water. We give this resort 5 stars; not only for the resort itself but for its staff.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Lots to do for everyone

We have been to many All-Inclusive, as well as stayed off resort in Mexico and the Caribbean. This resort by far had the most comprehensive list of items to do, great snorkeling right of the beach, awesome children areas, bowling etc. There are a total of 5 resorts, which you have access to the facilities of 4, although most facilities are a copy of the others (just slightly different set up), it does mean you get a choice of the show at the theater for the night or the specials in the buffets.  [... read more]Over the 4 resorts the area is large, however on the resort you are staying it is not that far from room, to beach to lobby/buffet etc and as each resort has everything you don't need to travel far. The food would be the one let down, no one got sick, but it is sub-par come compared to other areas we have stayed (even Cuba). We would definitely go again - great service, no waiting for drinks, no having to save chairs, great beach

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Average Resort with a Dolphin Prison

First I want to say if I knew this resort had a Dolphins on site in a small prison pool I would have never gone there. For that I will not recommend this resort. As for the other details. Overall I would say this is an average resort that doesn't have one thing that stands out. The beach wasn't bad. The pool was ok. But I would say the food was poor especially the vegetarian options. Goods: The shuttle service around the resort The Tulum side had the pool near the beach The fire  [... read more]show at the beach party The New Years eve show was done well Bads: This resort has a Dolphin pool on site. The size of the pool for Dolphins is smaller then the main pool for people. Release the Dolphins! Just for this I would not recommend this resort. Coba resort pool very far from the actual beach. Had to shuttle if you wanted to switch locations. A few rooms in our group had water leaking from the air conditioning. The vegetarian options at the buffet and a la carte were extremely limited. Keeping vegetarian and meat food and utensils separate was always an issue. Food was NEVER hot (in temperature). The food labels did not always match what was in the tray. Far from Playa Del Carmen (40 min drive - I already knew this) It was unclear on where the entertainment was always taking place. And the crew didn't go up and down the beach to notify people as they do in other resorts. The night show schedule changed frequently.

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: Amazing resort and staff!!

Hotel was amazing, pool area and cliff jumping was awesome for the kids. Highlight of the kids trip was our butler Eduardo 😃He was amazing and the kids just loved him! We were in platinum building 14 with an amazing ocean view and huge room.

Selection Riviera Cancun: Amazing resort

Loved the food, the service, the comfort and the walks along the beach. Swimming in the ocean was poor. Aaaassaassaassasaaaaaasaasaahdhdhfjfjjfjdjdjjdjdjdjdjjdjdjdjjfjjfhfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjjfjfhfjjfjfjfjfjfd

El Dorado Maroma: Quiet, intimate resort.

This is a lovely, intimate resort. Even when it's full, it feels deserted. What a beach! Miles of fine, white sand to run or walk along. Food, as in any Karisma resort is great, although usually only three restaurants are open. Evening entertainment is pretty lame but they try. Great resort to just veg at.

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Beautiful Beach!

The beach is beautiful, after they clean it up. The amount of plastic that washes up is disgusting. Probably most from the cruise ships. I don’t know why that can’t have one person to walk up and down the beach cleaning it. With the money pumped in, I’m sure they could afford. Rooms are nice. Food was better last year. Great staff!

Tukan Hotel Playa Del Carmen: Mixed feelings

The best thing about this hotel is its location; right on 5th Ave at the centre of the action. However, multiple things are problematic: 1) our room was located right by the cleaning crew's storage room which meant very loud and inconsiderate conversations at 6am and 11pm. 2) although our room was cleaned daily, we had to ask for basic things like hand towels and for the shower head to be fixed. The shower head was so bad that it was impossible to shower. Who would put guests in a room that  [... read more]has such amenities? 3) don't count on a good night's sleep... we could hear the shows/music from nearby venues as if they were playing right in our room.

Dreams Puerto Morelos Resort and Spa: Fantastic resort

We loved our vacation at Secret Silver Sands. The food was especially impressive. The service, whether at any restaurant, at the pool or at the beach was very attentive and friendly. 15 to 20 minutes from the airport which cut down on travel time to and from the airport.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing resort, wonderful resort, excellent

The best resort we’ve been for everything we rate 100%. Excellent for everything :dining,cleanliness,beach,pool etc. We were very happy and had a wonderful vacation and holiday at Luxury Bahia Principe Akumal Don Pablo Colection

Grand Oasis Riviera: Beautiful Resort/Room Issues

Resort was beautiful , loved the clean pools , food was awesome , buffet carried huge collection. Coming to room , we were not that lucky, first room we got was balcony as promised by my agent , but that room had a leaky washroom and they did not upgrade us instead shifted us to a smaller room. Whose shower broke very second day ,had choked Wash basin which never got fixed, then we had faulty AC which hardly got fixed . We complained 3 times AC worked only one day even after so called "repair" [... read more].

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Great Resort!

Hotel was clean and high quality. Staff were accommodating, highly energetic, and polite. Food variety was better than other hotels and quality was good. Activities offered were nice - dolphins were on site and affordable so that was also a plus. Only potentially negative point is that the resort is about an hour and a half from the airport. This could also be considered a plus as it means you are contained to the hotel once you arrive and avoid spending additional money :)
