Iberostar Waves Tucan: Wonderful vacation

We had a great time exploring and enjoying this resort. The lush vegetation, animals,’pools and beach were amazing. Always spot at the beach or pool at any time of day and the white sand beach one of the nicest we have seen. The restaurant and buffet selections were plentiful and nice that you did not require reservations for them. The staff at the resort along with air Transat representatives were always ready and available. Thank you for creating a wonderful experience.

Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun: Did Not Disappoint

The Royalton Splash was a great resort. The check in was not, 2 hrs, to many buses not enough staff. Rooms are beautiful, view was great!. Lots of options for food, from ala carts to food trucks, to pizzeria, buffet. The buffet was great for breakfast, not so good for lunch or dinner. Sports bar was awesome, food and snacks good and atmosphere for Jays Game amazing. Pools and drinks were good. A lot of pools to choose from. We did put towels on chairs in morning as there wasn't much shade and we [... read more] wanted umbrellas, still had to keep moving for shade. The beach is not the best, sargassum, but was cleaned daily. Beach nice for walking, water not for swimming. Over all we had a great time, I would definitely recommend for families with children. Off season I think for adults is the best time. The staff were amazing on all accounts. Humberto at the sports bar was amazing, Carmilla at the Chill pool bar, and Armondo at Zen all to be commended on their service. Lots more servers to that I never got their names.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo Maya Colonial, Riviera Maya

We enjoyed our stay at this resort. Everything was just fine! Great customer service, room was spacious and clean, food was delicious. Thanks a lot to everyone. We would be happy to visit this resort again.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Fabulous Vacation

1st time. at this resort. Viva Maya Playa Del Carmen. Hotel grounds are beautiful. Checkin was dmooth. we were early. so we swam and ate. never went to the adults pool too far away. near the main entrance so. avoid that section of rooms unless you want to walk far to the beach. snack bar is by the main pools. and was ok burgers digs fries salads rice some meats etc. from the snack bar and main pool. only foot steps away from the beach. tons of shaded chairs not enough shaded areas around.  [... read more]the pool. buffet was good always. something. to eat. for vegetarian as well. 1 towel. per day, 3 alacarte. Mexican was the best, high energy environment. and best menu . rooms were clean and comfy with lots of hot water bring mosquito spray . would we go back. yup in a heartbeat ? ?

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Nice resort

This adult only resort is great for couples, not so much for groups. They have a policy that they cant seat more than 6 people together. Our group was 9 and they split us up all the time. We couldn't understand and after a lo g conversation with Joseph (concierge by the pool) we finally were able to be together on our last 2 days. Within our group we had a few concerns and issues in the rooms which took a few days to sort out. Things that could have been dealt with immediately and weren't. I wil [... read more]l say, the food was very good! All the a la cartes and the buffet. Entertainment is late in the evenings. Most people are heading to bed. Pool bar was fantastic. The guys were great. Both the Tequila Bar and the Margarita Bar were good as well. The Rauxca show was good. Food great. The beach was probably the best part. Absolutely ?

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Beautiful resort

Wonderful resort.this was out second visit to this resort. Something for everyone. Tons of wild life beautiful beach huge pools. Great food. Amazing staff. Lots of people return to this resort and I see why. From the cleaning lady to the bar staff ti the tattoo artist on site! Just wow! Thank you so much for another amazing stay

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Amazing place ?

Loved this resort. The wildlife is amazing! The food was fantastic, our only complaint was the portions were too big, hate wasting. A lot of walking but the beautiful grounds and nature made up for it. The beach was awesome for snorkeling, with some sandy areas to swim. I definitely recommend this resort, we will return!

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Amazing resort!

My stay at Viva Azteca by Wyndham hotel was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The rooms were spotless. The food was excellent — fresh tropical fruit, local specialties, and a variety of international dishes to choose from. The grounds are amazing, covered with greens and trees. The beach has a lots of shade. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, from arranging excursions to offering thoughtfu [... read more]l touches throughout my stay. I left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Excellent price for service you get.

Food is good as is room service. Spa excellent but expensive. They would get more people if they would decrease the price by 30%. Trolley service to the beach is awful!! 2 will come 5 mins apart and then none for 20 mins. During the afternoon beach rush around 4:30 they put a small 8 person trolley and at 7pm they put a 16 person trolley, it should be the other way around. Timing of the trolleys to the other hotels is the same. A La Carte at Sian Ka'an excellent as is the service. Kudos to Edgar [... read more] and Silverio. Maid service also excellent. Night shows are pretty well the same ones for the last 3-4 years, time to change? Rock and crooner good and women mariachi band excellent, circus ok and the rest hit and miss. Lobster night is a joke. Only the upper part of the lobster which is emptied, seasoned and refilled into the shell, no lobster tail available. Good choice of deserts, chesses, fruits, cold cuts, sushi, and bread. Front desk staff very professional, ready to help you with your problems if any. Penthouse was nice and clean upon our arrival. When it rained hard water would come through the window and go underneath the bed and the shower would have a hard time to drain properly, so your feet would be in dirty water. Told the floor manger Mr. Vasquez about this and I have no doubt be the time You read this review it will be fixed.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Experience Real Mexico

I travelled solo during the second week of Oct/25 to Hyatt Vivid PDC. It was my first time in PDC - the drive from the airport is certainly worth it if you want to be steps away from 5th avenue and some really great food from what I've heard. I myself stayed on the resort, which was nice and gave very much Spanish vibes. Loved the hot tub in the room as well as the room service as it was nice to not have to go to dinner or to get breakfast. The food itself wasn't top tier, but it was alright - I [... read more] found things that I enjoyed and sticked with them (quesadillas and shrimp cocktail). This resort certainly isn't great for beach lovers as there's only about a couple feel of beach before the ocean. I wish there were more shade at the pool! All of the chairs had sun blockers attached and there were some umbrellas, but everyone struggled to find shade and the resort was no where near capacity. Jose at the pool was always prompt to come around every 15 mins or so to ask for drink orders. He was super appreciative of tips and recognized me, which was nice. I always find it interesting to see how solo travellers are treated - this trip I felt a little ignored, no welcome drink, was told to find my room on my own and my bag would be brought to me, delay on being served at restaurants, but in all, service was good and there were no issues. Private transportation was great. I felt 100% safe as a woman travelling alone and enjoyed my trip!

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: There is a chance that it will meet your expectations

The resort itself is beautiful and clean and our room was really nice and spacious. It is only advertised as all-inclusive resort but the number of things you need to pay extra for is ridiculous. If you want to have some shade, you need to pay for cabana ($200 per day). If no, there are no even umbrellas. Not what you expect from a high end resort (at least, that's how they are positioning themselves). It is advertised that this resort has 7 restaurants. The reality is disappointing. To eat [... read more] in one of them (Chef's plate) you will have to pay extra. The buffet is not open for dinner at all. Pelicanos was closed due to renovations. So, basically all of the time you have two restaurant open. The best one is Asiana, all others are mediocre. Food is greasy and smells burnt oil. During lunch time food is warm at best. All the time restaurant's manager tries to sell you something like themed dinner. I need to admit that Aromas (coffee shop) is amazing and ladies there are very friendly and nice. Loved this place! They tell that Dolma is a top choice restaurant but they serve they street food pretending it is something special. Right during checking in we were suggested to pay for room upgrade ($60 USD per night) to have ocean view. Not the room that facing directly to the ocean but the building a little bit closer to the ocean and to see it you will have still to go to the balcony and look to the right (or left depending on the room location) to see it. Not worth it. After that we made one and only offer to book day at the spa for $250 (including massage) for two people. I do not know if they fully understand how marketing works but for me to buy it, it should be cheaper than at home. Otherwise, I will go to the place and the therapist I am 100% sure in. No small toiletries (like Q-tips or cotton rounds) in the bathroom.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Absolutely love this resort!

This is my fourth or fifth time coming to this resort, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about it. From the rooms to the actual hotel itself, is amazing. All of the staff were super friendly and very helpful, Including staff in the background. such as groundskeepers and maids, Every morning they’d say good morning or hello, even if they were in the middle of something. The rooms and hotel area were always kept in immaculate condition, Never dirty always clean! If it rained waiters and [... read more] waitresses were out wiping down all the chairs and tables so that you could sit down outside. Tables in the buffet were always clean and staff were very attentive. Both check-in and checkout were super easy, no fuss no muss and we were able to get settled in our room within half an hour of being at the resort. The pool area was always clean and well supervised, the entertainment Staff were amazing. This resort has so many things for you to do with your family or as a solo person. Whether it be around the pool or in the theater, if you have kids, they will never get bored. I have nothing but amazing things to say and I recommend this resort 100%.

El Dorado Seaside Palms: bery good resort

this resort is amazing with lush gardens, best food ever and service to match. most a-la-carts require no reservations. The arrival at cancun was event full as we were stopped at customs with having half a pack of cig over our combined limit and it cost us $99 can . BEWARE. The staff was amazing, the food was amazing, the room upgrade we received was amazing. The only negative was the lack of bar at the reception for arrival or to relax during our stay. the other negative was the lack of commun [... read more]ication between sunwing vacations/and Lotus. We missed our orientation due to this and important info regarding this resort and activities.. the drinks were all topshelf dreinks and were amazing

El Dorado Seaside Palms: Amazing Resort

What an amazing resort ! The grounds are absolutely stunning , the palms are so beautiful and so well kept , the rooms are massive and beds very comfortable. The food was also great, the steak at the Italian is a must and the Flower pot drink at the Mezcal bar is so yummy . Every single day the workers met you with a smile and a Hola . The drinks were delicious! I cannot say enough positive and I cannot wait to go back

El Dorado Seaside Palms: Awesome resort

This is one of the best resorts I have been too. From check in to check out they went above and beyond. Food was great and wait staff were fabulous. Grounds were beautiful kept by a fabulous team. Great party or quite spot for 2 this resort has it all. We would definitely go back

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Overall would love to return.

Pros: - Pool on the beach with the beach bar, smoothie bar, and restaurant. - Kids area with a waterpark, so most of the other pools are child-free and relaxing. - Large pools / multiple pools for lots of options. - Easily walkable resort, taking 10-15 mins to get to each end. - Security takes their job seriously and cross-references pick-ups with room numbers and reservations. - Booking dinners and other activities through the app / on your phone was easy. - Lots of dining options, but  [... read more]be warned, the portions are small, so you still may want to hit up the buffet before or after. - There were lots of seats at both the buffet and pools; I never had to fight for a spot or reserve seating at the pool. - The staff were all friendly and helpful. Cons: - Too many people are trying to sell you things on the beach; every 5-10 minutes, you can expect to be interrupted to be sold a day trip, massage, etc. - Mosquitoes! Bring bug spray, I'm not sure if it was from the season or our room location, but the mosquitoes were not friendly. - The beach itself is small, with lots of rocks and seaweed. Bring water shoes if you want to go in the ocean. - The main lobby bar closes at midnight, and if you want drinks, you need to go to the disco.

Viva Maya by Wyndham: Amazing

Great resort ,great food and staff are awesome . We will definitely go back. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Buffet is the best and snack bar is awesome . Beach is really nice and you can walk into Playa Del Carmen in 20 minutes

Barcelo Maya Riviera: All you need at Barcelo Maya Riviera

The hotel is very well designed. One of the best features is how they lay out the infinity pools. All of them nudge right up to the beach giving you nice views of the beach and ocean while relaxing in the pool. The beach is large with many areas to sit in the sun or shade. The entrance to the water was rocky but with some water shoes it was no big deal. These things don't personally bother me - its nature - like going up north or anything else you will have to deal with some environmental factor [... read more]s. The food was great - The buffet breakfast was all you could ask for and the lunch and dinner was on the mid - higher end of the scale when comparing buffets. The restaurants were all very good, our favorite being Agave (Mexican cuisine) specifically the taco bar where you sit around a bar table and watch them prepare you all the tacos you want. Sapporo (Japanese) was also great - the teppanyaki grill is like every other - a fun show and great food. The other one we tried was the Italian which was good- the pasta was decent but i enjoyed the pizza more. One fun perk is the ability to go to all the other resorts, we walked around the first couple of days and you can grab a drink anywhere and explore. We did have dinner at the steak and pasta restaurant at the palace and it was one of our favorite meals and we found even the service amazing that evening. The other resorts have some small water parks (kid friendly resorts) we used the mini golf once for a little adventure (free) they also have bowling and other things in the mall at your own cost. Overall all the staff was amazing and friendly and worked very hard. However the resort as a whole doesn't seem to accommodate or give you that feeling of being "treated like royalty". Don't get me wrong they do a lot for you and are great but I found the premium level did not have many perks besides 24 hour room service. We never used the premium lounge as the lobby bar was significantly better in the evenings and nights. I never got premium drinks, even when i asked for cans or corona i was told no. We were celebrating a honeymoon and asked if they did anything for that. We were told yes they would have something in our room or set up something nice but all they gave us was a dessert at dinner. Nice of the recognition but a little ironic at and all inclusive. Again this is me finding issues to complain about, in no way did this ruin my trip at all. The resort is beautiful the staff is great and i had an amazing time. I enjoyed it more then the Hideaway at Royalton i previously stayed at.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Good

It’s fair the people were great food was good service and maintenance. Very poor had no water in the room. Maintenance was very, very slow to attend to the situation did not like the fact there was no buffet at night every day you were forced to book à la cards every night

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Family vacation

We decided to go on a last minute vacation with the family. We chose this resort based off of reviews online. We have never been to Mexico and didn’t know what to expect. What a fantastic resort! There is a lot of walking as the resort is large but worth it and when needed they have golf carts to take you where you need to go! The staff was absolutely friendly and a ton of activities to do on the resort alone! We opted for the family eco penthouse and was so worth it! We had 5 of us 2 kids and 3 [... read more] adults. The room was massive and came with a king bed, double bunk bed with a trundle under it and 2 bathrooms. We had monkeys on our balcony every morning the kids loved it! Lots of wild life through the resort including a rescue spot with donkeys, pigs, bunnies and sheep and you can even feed them each day! The food was great and each a la cart was fantastic! They have a store on site in case you need anything. The beach was beautiful and protected with what looks like a man made wall to help with seaweed on the beach. We did a day excursion with the hotels booking company and honestly it was worth it and the staff was fantastic! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this resort and will definitely be visiting again! Pleasantly surprised!
