Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Great food and staff but the evenings are boring

There was a lot of good at Paradisus La Perla. The food was very good and the service from the staff at the pool and in the public areas was really attentive. They were friendly and definitely the highlight of the stay for our group of four. The downside is that this is sold as an adult resort, but you have to walk through the kids' section to get to most of the restaurants. The evening entertainment was lacking and there are no real places to hang out at night. The bars just felt like waiting  [... read more]areas for the restaurants rather than somewhere with a cool ambience. For two couples, it was boring in the evenings. The booking system for dinner is also a mess. The office is only open a few hours a day and they limit how many reservations you can make, so you have to keep coming back and queuing up just to talk to someone who eventually tries to sell you a timeshare. The app didn't work well either.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Wonderful vacation

The grounds, rooms, restaurants are all super well maintained. Service was excellent and the friendly welcoming staff added much to our stay. Lots of sargassum on the beach but that is beyond the resort’s control. They worked very hard to remove it.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Sun and Sand

We travel to the Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an Feb 13 through 23 with some friends. The staff is lovely and so helpful. Grounds are well kept. Food was good. You won't go hungry. Drinks were plentiful. Entertainment was ok at this resort much better at the sister resorts which we had access to. The nice thing about this resort is that its quiet if you want to be around the action its only a trolly ride away. There were a few things that not 100% but nothing that would make me not return. Most [... read more] people we spoke with are return travelers to this resort which is nice to hear. We would definitely go back. Can't wait until the next trip..

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Amazing Resort!

This Resort was amazing from start to finish of our trip. The rooms, grounds, pools, beaches, staff and food exceeded my expectations and I would return again in the future! The lazy river was great, the wildlife was abundant and the evening show and entertainment staff were wonderful!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great hotel

The property is really nice. The staff are awesome and food was also good. The a la carte restaurants should get booked ahead of time (download the app) it’s not on the beach but just a short golf cart away. I stayed at COBA side and there is only 1 bar at the beach that we were able to order from - silly if you ask me. Giving 4 stars because there is always room for improvement

Riu Lupita: Good service at average resort

Service was good! People like Carlos(supervisor ?)in the buffet was always very welcoming and couldn’t do enough it seemed. And also the server Sayman was eager to please too. Santos and Bianca in the main bar were excellent and very friendly. Delphino worked the beach bar (mostly) and was also very good and friendly. Overall the service was good even at the check in/lobby. When we needed or asked for something they did their best to do it quickly. Whether a request in person or through  [... read more]the RIU app. (A very handy tool to know what is open(or available) or what shows are on each day at the theatre or to make a complaint (about the room for example) although there were very few for us over our 2 week stay! The beach shuttle works as it should w a very friendly driver who usually plays “local Latin music” which helps get the day started off with a smile and a tapping foot! He “fist pumps” every single rider and always has a big smile and a Hola or Buenas dias! Now for some constructive criticisms. Entertainment: Some nights we enjoyed it and some nights it felt like we were at a high school musical or at a budget friendly resort. (Which I guess, some may call the Lupita). For what we paid however, this is not in our “budget friendly category”. So for what we paid, we were a little disappointed. The grounds were ok. The rooms and buildings are ok. However, Everything is showing its age. Dirty and a little uneven walkways with grease and oil spills from vehicles on the pavement to and from our room(I personally would never walk barefoot around this resort). Our room was on the other side of the tennis court,(I wouldn’t recommend it as there seemed to be better blocks/units around the quiet pool) We had to mostly walk by where all the buses were parked. We had to walk through this to get to our room or take longer to walk around it. Not a big deal but of course we always took the shorter route. Pools - the main pool is dirty. The water felt slimy and the smell was bad. We had the feeling it was getting pee-d in and not getting scrubbed clean each day. The tiles were slimy the whole time we were there. The “relaxing pool” was better and was also a quiet escape from the music and busyness of the main pool. The main pool had a bubble party and a few other fun events and activities throughout our stay(2 weeks-which we felt was 1 week too long). Lots of wildlife around and not an issue for us as we love animals! The stray cats had a little house and food/water provided. There was a sign saying they were spayed/neutered and had up to date vaccines. (Hope this is true). The cute “coaties” (a native rodent type species) were everywhere but didn’t bother us. Even though they were scouring everyone’s tables looking for food. Loads of birds, geckos and iguanas mostly around the quiet pool. Food was ok at the buffet. Service at all restaurants was good. The Mexican, Italian and steak house (a La carte choices) were ok but the Italian and Mexican is not organized well. When 7pm comes you need to be right at the entrance or you won’t get a seat. Then you will have to wait for an hour to get in. The steak house is different as you need a reservation. However - At 7am “on the morning of” you need to line up in front of the buffet restaurant to secure your spot. 7am is early and you should be there a few minutes before as there are always those people who don’t see any lines and feel they can just walk to the front. This happened a few times throughout our stay but for the most part people were good and respectful. Breakfast at the beach is almost non existent. We tried it once and decided to have breakfast before heading there. The shuttle would drop you off near 5th avenue and that worked great for us. Did that many times. So I would give the Lupita 3 stars overall. Needs a little tlc. Needs better entertainment. Better organizational for the a La Cartes.

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel: Great Time

The hotel needs updating but we are not in our room very much so didn't bother me but not what you expect at 5star. That being said the food was fantastic 5star drinks were always flowing even when you didn't order it waiter saw you were almost empty and would bring you a fresh one the beach was nice and cleaned all day long. Anyone hoping for night life this is not the resort for you as there is none. The people are all so friendly always with a smile and said hello. Not sure I would recomme [... read more]nd this resort unless you are going to relax. Although I would love to go back my husband thinks it's a little too quiet but overall one fantastic vacation.

Allegro Cozumel: Amazing resort!

This resort is not a five star but definitely a 4.5 star. Food can be improved! You can always find something to eat,repetitive menu for buffet! The resort grounds and rooms are beautiful. By far the beach is the best and very good snorkeling! The entertainment staff kept the vibe going for sure! Many games were played and shows were seen! Thank you Allegro for an amazing holiday! Carnival week was a hit!

Royal Solaris: Great stay!

The hotel was clean and well laid out, the rooms were large and beds comfortable! The staff was friendly and helpful, we would absolutely return again! A few tips, get to the pool early if you want a chair beside the pool, don’t just leave your towels you have a seat saver, there is an ice cream cart at 2pm that moves around the resort. The pizza snack bar by the pool is incredible and the lunch 1:30ish buffet by the beach is also very very good!

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Very good resort - it is a 4.5 as advertised.

Suite was wonderful - large, modern and dry not damp. Beach was lovely and they really stayed on top of removing the sargassum grass. The resort was kept very clean and the staff were all wonderful. The food was great. We were late booking the restaurants so we only got into one of them as it was a busy week. Lots of activities if you wanted them. Pickup and drop off were efficient. There were virtually zero vendors on the beach all week and the resort felt super safe like a gated commun [... read more]ity. We would retrun in the future.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Awesome resort!

In spite of what happened here on February 22nd the staff stepped their game to accommodate all in lockdown. I felt for the staff as they couldn’t go home to their families. No complaints they took it in stride. Nicest people in the world! Never felt more safe and appreciated. Kudos to the Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta. Excellent service from the kindest friendliest people. Thank you! ?

Absolutely amazing resort, great food, awesome staff and the grounds are so beautiful. It was paradise. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The entertainment was top notch and always exciting to watch.

Riu Flamingos: It is and amazing resort

The grounds areas are well kept and also the public areas, the rooms ar very clean, the dining is very organized. The waiters are very friendly and very organized. The pool areas are very well kept and clean, the beach area is excellent, there is always somebody sweeping.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Beautiful resort

Ocean Coral and Turquesa is well laid out. It is easy to get around. The four pools run from North to South along the Caribbean Sea. We stayed at Privilege and had access to the fourth pool - adults only. The Privilege Lounge is lovely but the service is rather slow.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Great pools, great food, no family friendly evening entertainment

We really enjoyed Riu Palace as a multigenerational family trip - 2 young kids, parents and grandparents. Quiet, lovely resort with huge pools, excellent food, attentive friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms. Staff were lovely with our young children and very friendly (and patient with us trying to practice Spanish!). *We enjoyed the waterpark (over at Santa Fe) a few times - the small splash area is appropriate for young children, and the larger waterslides are only for >120cm tall (my li [... read more]ttle one was quite disappointed). Very impressed at the level of supervision from lifeguards. My only suggestions/comments: * Swim up rooms include small plunge pool which our children loved but only available for booking to 'adults only' (grandparents stayed here) and not bookable to be close to any other room type so we weren't able to stay very close by which was our original request. * Evening entertainment mostly involved going over to nearby Riu SanteFe for 'parties' that were not family-friendly at all. One evening was a 'kid friendly' show at 730pm at Palace but was very poorly done with terrible 'mascot' and awkward child-friendly characters. We would have preferred any cultural show or generic show that started before 9pm to enjoy/watch as a family. * For families or anyone wishing a quieter room, ensure you are NOT near activity pool nor overlooking Santa Fe resort walkways or pools.

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Simply the best!

The Paradisus La Perla was an amazing resort! Such a high-end beautiful and luxurious resort, with such an incredible tropical nature feel. The beach is scrumptious! The food is gourmet (including amazing gluten free options expertise and care) and very high quality. The best part is the staff; they go way above and beyond to ensure you are enjoying your stay. We will be doing a more detailed review on a couple of other platforms, but in one line, this place knocked it out of the park! Kudos to  [... read more]all of the amazing staff.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Very Relaxing and Quiet Resort

First of all we want to thank Beth for all her help with booking our group of 10, she was absolutely amazing!! The Resort was super quiet but nice if you were looking for a relaxing getaway, which we were. We got to stay in the new building furthest from the beach but the rooms were WOW! We had a pool directly off our bottom floor Terrance with our own Sun beds and 4 layout chairs. We had a few issues with the rooms but very quickly fixed up, but we were the first ones staying here. Super cl [... read more]ean, had our own private pool and a full bar which was nice considering we were the farthest from buffet and main pool, but we didn't use the main pool once. All the staff were amazing, some had a bit of a language barrier but very quick to get out google translator and we were good to go! Beach had a lot of coral which wasn't the best for swimming but the guys loved the snorkeling they did. Also a lot of moss on beach. The food and drinks were both top notch, we went to Italian and Mexican restaurants and both were very good. Mike's Coffee bar had amazing iced coffees too We didn't book adult only but we felt as though we did, our pool was perfect and having a bar and pool directly outside your room was a bonus. Our room numbers were 1116, 1117, & 1118 then we had one couple on second floor and one on third, same building. If you go for beach, I would choose a different resort but if you just want to relax at the pool ask for the first building.

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Paradisus La Perla - A Piece of Heaven

A pristine hotel/resort with well manicured grounds, friendly and helpful staff from the personal concierge to the housekeeping team. Excellent food and wait staff in the buffet and all other restaurants. Numerous food choices - delicious and presented very well. Rooms are well appointed and the swim out was an added luxury. Nightly entertainment offered different genres for every taste. Reserve pool was nice and quiet while main pool was more lively.
