Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Awesome Beach!

Good resort overall. While much of the resort is a bit run down and needs some repair the beach makes up for it - the best beach I've been to in Puerto Vallarta. The restaurants also are located on the beach with great views of the bay. Food quality was very good. Entertainment was just ok and entertainment staff were not as outgoing or inviting as I have found at other resorts. All other staff and service was excellent. Rooms were very spacious but beds not the most comfortable.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Had a great time

Rooms were very nice,beds comfortable. Grounds and pools were kept very clean. Lots of entertainment during the day. Service was top notch. Food was really good. Lazy river was a lot of fun. Will return

Royalton CHIC Cancun: Loved our time at Royalton Cancun!

The beach and turquoise clear waters were amazing...beds and rooms were superb....the food was sooo good, the best all-inclusive food i have experienced at the Marche. There is no need to go to the a-la-cartes as you can get cooked to order eggs, stir fry, pasta, steaks, chicken, seafood, everything. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our only concern/complaint is beach chairs - during american thanksgiving when the hotel was busy, we had to get up at 6am to claim a chair and spot on the [... read more] beach. Later in the week, at 7-7:30am. Not fun, but actually quite comical, all the guests up in the dark in their robes, setting their spots up, then back to bed until later. They need more chairs or a better system. All in all, a fabulous week and would go back in a heartbeat. Beautiful tasteful accommodations, great food, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, beautiful beach for waking, aquafit classes were fun - all good.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: another fantastic week at the beautiful Sian Kaan

I can't imagine anyone having anything other than glowing reviews about this resort... the food, the staff, the rooms, the grounds... everything is wonderful! A couple of reminders when booking this resort so you know what to expect: - This is not a beach front resort... you need to take the internal trolley across the highway to access the area of the beach that is reserved for the Sian Kaan. - This resort is in the jungle... lots of lizards, birds, etc - Also, most areas around the pools a [... read more]re in the shade at some point each day due to the many lush/thick trees. - The Sian Kaan is small in comparison to the other resorts in this compound (we consider that to be a positive feature), if you are looking for a wild party resort... this is not the place for you. This was our 3rd visit and we were just as happy with everything this time and hope to return again next year!

Riu Emerald Bay: Not at all impressed with this last trip

Nice upgrades to the new family area. Major upgrades needed to the existing Riu Hotel. Many issues such as problems with elevators being closed, floods in the bathroom, toilets not working and they are overbooking the resort. We need to wait another week for a change if any. We were given the second floor with no view, The front desk said the problem is with the Travel agency not giving them the proper requests. This was not the case because I had a copy of our TripCentral reservations with deta [... read more]ils outlining our request. We were told they had overbooked sorry and no change at this time. Overall not at all impressed with the service received on this last vacation. I had read may trip advisor comments and really did not believe that this resort has lost its charm. I will not consider the Riu again as there are many others! The remaining staff around the grounds and pool bar and coffee bar truly are truly faithful and committed to making you stay as pleasurable as possible.

Occidental Cozumel: Beautiful, No Crowds and Totally Relaxing

Our experience at the Occidental Cozumel, Nov 29th - December 6th was exacting what we were looking for. the staff were constantly friendly and helpful. The room was clean, large and very comfortable. Our dining experiences were all positive whether at the buffet or restaurants...the seafood being our favorite. Easy access to diving and smaller size of the resort was perfect. We'll definitely be back.

Riu Flamingos: How do you spell fantastic?

I've been to a few resorts and hotels down in Mexico... Cabo, Mazatlan, Huatulco and (a long time ago) Puerto Vallarta. Last time we went to PV, some twenty years past, we stayed at Royal De Cameron and it was a lovely experience, so we decided to visit the town again for our 20th anniversary. This time though, we stayed at the Riu Jalisco and it turned out to be the best place I have stayed at, bar none. I should point out though, that it takes nothing away from our memories of the De Ca [... read more]meron. We visited again on this trip and it's still a warm and welcoming place. Everything at the Riu oozes happiness and comfort, the staff are all super well trained in customer service and smiles are as natural as the unending sunshine. The food is just top notch, really anything you want,cooked any way you want it and always delicious... you can't get any better than what these guys serve up no matter what the claims of the fancy restaurants are. The buffets are so good that you don't really have to bother with the specialty restaurants, we tried two of them but to be honest it wasn't worth the palaver of waiting for the dish to be brought to your table... I prefer to dig in myself! Waiter service was friendly and helpful, they were all well groomed and immaculately uniformed.They made sure your plates were taken away so you could carry on scoffing uninterrupted and believe me ... I did! Drinks came promptly and they had PR men patrolling to make sure you were happy with the way things were being done at the hotel. They also had a team of unobtrusive security men doing patrols and this, combined with the fact that the entire hotel area is gated access, left us with absolutely no concerns about safety. Rooms are spacious and clean and far enough from the entertainment area to stop you from being bothered by any late night noise. Amazingly there is hardly a murmur of noise after midnight in the residential area of the hotel.Slept like a baby every single night! The gym is modern and has everything you need . we didn't use the spa but there is a free (and very quiet) whirlpool tucked inside the building where you can ease away any aches and pains. The climate is very warm and humid ( about 30 degrees every day we were there) and you can get very sticky. The air conditioning in the rooms just about manages to keep things comfortable but your clothes can get really damp and it's hard to dry them out. Maybe it's best just to stay wet all the time! In my mind the best quality of the entire property is the beach, you can walk right in to the ocean across smooth sand and it's like diving into a warm bath, wonderful curative effects on your skin and your mind... heaven. Don't worry about grabbing a beach chair, there's more than enough for everybody They had evening shows which were excellent ... Abba, Michael Jackson, Mexican Indigenous dance show, Riu Party (which is a blast), and a talented couple who sang opera. You don't really need the shows to enjoy your evenings because just being there and absorbing the energy is enough We took in three tours, the daylong tour of Vallarta and tequila tasting wasn't for me but the second tour to the Mexican Village was enjoyable. The best of all though was swimming with the dolphins, the experience of a lifetime to be able to swim with them and rub your hand across their skin , something that will stay with me forever. I spoke with the hotel's PR man Carlos , a charming , polite and personable young feller who epitomised the professionalism of the whole operation.I told him I would write a very positive review and this is it. you can't get no better than this place, thank you for two wonderful weeks, I would recommend the place to anyone!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Recent stay at Iberostar Paraiso Maya

My family and I recently stayed at Iberostar and we can’t say it enough the place is amazing. From the cleanliness of not only the rooms but the whole resort to the amazing food and drinks. The entertainment team is amazing and they put on great shows and always have activities during the day. The resort is also great if you have kids. Star kids. They have interactive shows that they do with the kids, they then perform in the evening. They have kids water park and programs for them. The pools  [... read more]are amazing, the have a wave pool, lazy river and a great beach and all very clean. They also have a shopping centre if you want to do some shopping. The staff are very friendly and always happy to see you. Also for amenities, you don’t need to bring a thing, they have big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hair dryer, towels, robe, slippers. We did not see one bug and I have to mention the smell when you enter the lobby is amazing. We highly recommend this resort and we definitely will be returning.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Excellent Resort

Our recent stay was amazing! The resort was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was amazing! The beach isn’t great, but the pools (x3) made up for that! Beautiful spot, would definitely return!

Grand Riviera Princess: The Best Resort, a little bit of heaven on earth!!!!

The Grand Princess is the most Amazing place to stay. I would tell anyone go for your couples retreat. Go if you have a family with children. This hotel can take of everything you want, and may have not even thought about. Rooms are so clean, the beach is amazing. And the staff are far by the friendless people you could ever meet. We have gone to the Grand Princess, 3years now, and are planning number 4. Food is unbelievable. Staff will stop at nothing to be helpful.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: We will be back...

We had a great time, the hotel is clean, the staff is friendly and the food was great. The ocean and sandy beach are amazing so we spent most of our days there. There is live entertainment every night and the lighting and ambience added to our experience..I really have nothing bad to say about Akumal Bay wellness resort.

Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf and Spa: Very Nice Place

Grounds were immaculate. Very well kept. Always saw staff cleaning and painting and upgrading. Rooms were awesome. Loved having the tub on the balcony. The kids played in it all the time. Bluetooth speakers, mirrors in the bathroom that swiveled to open up to the living area, and a rain head shower. The pools were large, water was kept very clean and warm. Really liked that there were 4 different pool areas to hang out in. Lets you mix it up. The kids water park was great. Could use a bar are cl [... read more]oser to it, but definitely gave some entertainment for the kiddos. The beach was OK. The restaurants were mixed. Mediterranean struggled the night we went. Food was good, but orders were wrong and took a long time to get food. Steakhouse on Secrets side was fantastic. Loved their food and service. Wish we could have gotten in to the Teppanyaki restaurant, but there was a wait just to get reservations and most of the line was there an hour before the reservations opened up. Restaurant was closed most of the days we were there as well. Not super convenient. Overall, one of the best resorts our family has been to with regards to food, service, and grounds.

Crown Paradise Golden: Another awesome stay

This is our 4th visit to this hotel and again they did not disappoint. This is an all adult resort attached to a family resort that we could also use for dinners etc. The staff here are wonderfully attentive. The beach area is great and the water is clean. We were there in November and the weather was hot and sunny. We enjoy this resort as it is easy and cheap to take the local bus into town.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: 5 star

The resort is spotless the food is excellent and the staff are helpful and friendly. The beach is well kept. Highly recommend this hotel. The hotel is about a 10 minute cab ride to downtown Cancún and ideally situated

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Brand Bahia Principe Coba is almost a 5 star resort

We stayed here from Nov 28- Dec 5 in Building no 22 which is very close proximity to the pool, grand buffet and lobby, 24-hour snack bar and kid's waterpark, not to mention 3 of the A La Carte restaurants are only few steps away from our building. I was with my 3 sisters and all of them were impressed by the quality of food and nightly entertainment except Thursday which is appointed for Mexican Fiesta at Hacienda. We took the Collectivo to Playa De Carmen to shop and also to see the show Jo [... read more]ya Cirque Du Soleil. We made friends with the people at Premier Club kiosk Arath, Ansel , et. al. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Coba and would be planning to return next year.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Great place to spend a week

The hotel was a quaint resort which I enjoyed. I loved the family atmosphere. I found a couple of the nights quite loud but not over bearing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As a single woman I was very comfortable at the Melia

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Amazing Resort

Dreams is a quaint smaller resort with all the amenities that one could ask for. It still have a number of a la carte restaurants where the food is delicious. The grounds are immaculate with many winding paths to wonder. Would go back in a heart beat.

Riu Playacar: Beautiful Resort!

The hotel grounds are beautifully manicured and kept incredibly clean! Rooms are fresh, clean and as they're advertised. Food selection was fantastic and we really enjoyed the steakhouse - not needing to make reservations was a huge bonus! We went there twice and ate at the buffet the remaining nights - they even had a vegetarian section. Breakfasts offered a vast array of options from cereal to fresh fruits, custom omelettes, eggs any which way and a fresh juice station. For lunch, the sala [... read more]d bar was great as well as a full offering of hot foods or you could grab a bite at the grill by the pool. The staff is fantastic and always ready to please! We noticed that a lot of people don't tip the staff - take a wad of dollar bills and tip them - they'll all work so hard to make your stay enjoyable! Entertainment was great most nights - ending at around 11pm which is great for the crowd on a relaxing vacation. Those wanting a bit more nightlife could be shuttled to one of two other resorts just down the road. Loads of activities during the day - the staff is fantastic and not too pushy. This was our second time at the resort and we'd go back without a doubt!

Riu Emerald Bay: Great week

The hotel is very large and can get busy! Loved: pools, great food, nice walkable beach, view from the room Got tired of: waiting at the elevators, all the insanely ridiculous and inconsistent rules at the water park (never did end up going down a slide - no jewelry, not tall enough, not old enough, no zippers 🙄), very small store with very high prices. Overall had a great week - enjoyed Mazatlan, very helpful kind people, lots of fun in the pools and the beach!

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Outstanding Experience

The hotel is impressive as soon as you step into the main lobby. Check-in was easy and room was ready when they said it would be. Room was as requested by Debbie - higher floor, ocean view. The Adult only section was a great recommendation by Debbie. No issue in finding chairs at either the pool or the beach. Grounds were clean. A La carte, no reservations needed, were a great highlight to end each day. The Cup Cake Cafe satisfied when looking for various types of coffees day or night.  [... read more] Will return again
