Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: All you need

This resort has all you need, great caring staff,beautiful rooms and grounds, the atmosphere is amazing. The entertainement was fantastic. Myself and husband enjoyed our stay, sad to leave for home and we look forward to staying at another Sirenis resort. Thanks for a fantastic memorable vacation!!!!

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: blue bay

Hotel was great , food very good choices and friendly people all around. What I didn't like is when you start to get bothered and stresses out from the sales people who tris to sell the timeshares packages ? we're there to enjoy a vacation not to get bothered and stressed out? Another thing to I think they should improve the auditorium part where they have the shows every night , the show they had for "Grease" was so terrible its looked like a bunch of people on stage going crazy and didn't even [... read more] know what they were doing? Some parts of it was so innapropriate for the young children who was watching.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Unbelievable experience

The resort was top notch and service was incredible. We have a child with severe allergies and were sceptical of taking him to an all inclusive hotel. Our fears were quickly erased when we arrived. Between the concierge, the sous chef (who followed us to every restaurant), the wait staff and each restaurants' head chef we were completely put at ease and could focus on the vacation. A big thank you to the Azul Fives team for giving us a safe and enjoyable break.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Great Resort

The Sian Ka'an needs a gym facility on the premise...the closest one is at the Coba a 20minutes walk from the Sian Ka'an. The rooms needs updating ie better storage for closes (no dressers). The staff provides really good service and the quality of the food for a resort is exceptional. The grounds are very lush and well kept.

Riu Tequila: A lot of great everything.

This is our second visit to riu tequila. Typically, we stay at a chain we know, but like to try different locations. What we loved about this one is that it's got everything going for it. Food, clean, great staff, playacar location, best beach, memories, awesome show and all activities are around a central area making it easy to be at the hotel. Love it there

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort!!!!

From the moment we arrived at the resort we knew it was going to be a great week! The staff are very helpful and friendly and had us checked in very quickly and our dinner reservations made that same day. The grounds are kept immaculate with gardeners taking great care of water features, plants and trees. The rooms are very spacious and clean and stocked with beer, pop, water and chips daily. Always enough fresh towels and beach towels available in the room on day 1. The buffet restauran [... read more]t has a large selection of food and was themed every night. Breakfast always offered fresh omelettes at the egg station! The lunch beach grill had a good assortment of selections for lunch as well and you didn't need to leave your beach chair for long. The a la carte restaurants for dinner were amazing. We tried the steak house which was our favourite, the Italian which was very tasty as well and the Japanese which provided a show during dinner. The chef did an amazing job preparing our food in front of us. Try the surf and turf, it's delicious!! The beach was absolutely stunning. Crystal clear water where you could see the fish in knee deep water! There was never a rush to save a beach chair at all as there are plenty of them. We were never bothered by beach vendors and there is plenty of room to walk the beach daily. The pool was a bit on the chilly side however once you got in it was fine!! The swim up bar was a bit under staffed while we were there and you did have to wait a while for your drinks. We did find it faster to go into the beach grill and get served much faster in there. The one feature that I've never experience on a resort is the Dolphinarium. I got to have a close up encounter with dolphins!! They also offer a dolphin swim too. All of this is at an additional cost but worth every penny in my books! The onsite shopping is incredible, not only are there the regular resort shops, there are market vendors offering many local talents. There is also a mall that has some high end shops as well. Overall this is a wonderful resort, from the people to the rooms, to the meals, to the beach and pools!! We will definitely return to this resort the next time we visit Mexico!!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Beautiful clean resort

Excellent quality food friendly staff and clean well kept resort. Grounds were beautiful. Activities were fun and a good variety. The animation team kept people involved. Overall a great resort. Would recommend it

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Great Place to Vacation (if you can deal with a few things)

We returned to the Occidental Xcaret after having a great experience in 2015. This time was terrific too - food is always amazing, staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful, rooms are VERY clean and the grounds are keep near immaculate. A few things that didn't make a good grade would be the HUGE snake we ran into twice during our visit (two in our group have serious snake phobias), the ever present pressure to sign up for the Vacationers Club (time share racket), the very loud noise in a couple o [... read more]f the restaurants (you'd think that would be a relatively easy fix) and some sketchy guests (there was a domestic dispute including violence in our building - would be nice to see a greater presence of security staff to actively tone down the stuff you wouldn't want your kids to hear). Some of those criticisms they could easily fix, others probably not. Overall the place is awesome and we've never experienced better food, facility or staff. You just have to navigate the stuff that isn't quite as perfect. Just like life, lol.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: We love this Resort!

This resort is large with five properties but it doesn't feel too big. You can stay in your own area and have everything you need, or you can eat, play, swim and have fun at all the resorts. We stayed at the Colonial which is right in the middle. Rooms are well maintained and very comfortable. You don't need to bring shampoo or body wash as it's provided and plentiful. The beach is varied - some all sand and other areas with rocks. I brought my water shoes but never used them. If you like [... read more] to walk on the beach you have almost 1.5 miles of sandy almost flat area to walk The buffet meals are excellent with lots of fresh fruit and a large variety of excellent quality food. We ate at five or six a la carte restaurants and our favourite was the Tokyo at the Caribe resort (Japanese Teppan meal). This was our second time at this resort and we would go back again for sure.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Royalton Riviera Cancun Mexico

The resort and staff were amazing. There were a couple of glitches. My daughter and I got only one bed upon check in but we were moved the next day. And the room we did get was an adjoining room so we could hear into our neighbours room especially when they were having arguments. They happen to have an argument at 3 am in the morning so I called the operator and someone was dispatched immediately to solve the problem. other than that it was a beautiful resort and we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were  [... read more]clean and comfortable. Pools were amazing. Staff at the resort were very customer service oriented. The food options were great. The service by the pool for drinks was wonderful. The fitness staff at the resort were fantastic.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Sandos Playacar was beautiful. My wife and I had a wonderful time.

The grounds from the beautiful sand beach and turquoise ocean to the well designed and pruned gardens surrounding the properties were incredible. Pathways were beautifully lit in the evening and Cozumel sparkled, across the ocean, in the dark night sky. The staff were very attentive and helpful, from arrival to departure. The dining staff were very professional and attentive. Thank you to our waitress at the Asian ala carte for recommending a dessert......heavenly!!!! Thank you to maintenanc [... read more]e, (there were a few small problems with our room), all was taken care of promptly and effectively. We made use of many of the different food venues and found all to be excellent. Coming from Nova Scotia and being a lover of seafood, I must say....I could live there forever and eat nothing but the seafood...it was amazingly prepared by your chefs. Did not always recognize the type of fish but was never disappointed...soooo delicious. Memories: Happy children everywhere. Amazing beach. Fantastic shows Delicious food. Romantic evenings. Whether you are a couple or a family, this resort has it all. We had a great time, and would recommend Sandos Playacar to others.

Grand Sunset Princess: Loved It !!!!!

we could not find one bad thing to say about this resort! It was very clean, nice size rooms, the food was good, staff was awesome. Beaches were very nice. Short shuttle ride into town...great experience. Felt very safe the entire week.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: beautiful resort

apart from visible garbage and plastic in ocean at beach, this resort was clean and well staffed. The kids club was decent and the pools were fantastic, except the posted hours of pools were inaccurate

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Lots of fun at this resort!

There were 15 of us at the resort ranging from ages 4-75 and we all had a great time! It was especially good for the 6 kids who participated in the surfing, mini golf, snorkeling, sailing, water biking, stand up boarding, scuba diving, water polo, basketball, kayaking, paddle ball,tennis, soccer and tennis as well as lots of swimming. The bonus was listening to the Dave Matthews band on the beach without paying for the concert. I like that even though the resort was fully booked, there was  [... read more]still lots of room at the pools, the restaurants and the various activities. We went to the Kyoto restaurant twice and the kids loved watching the chef prepare the food. It was delicious. On the down side, I was surprised that there were no yoga classes considering how popular that activity is. And the spa prices were way too expensive! The price for a 50 minute massage is at least twice the price it is in our home city. It is little wonder that the beautiful spa at the resort sat almost empty much of the time. Four of us were planning on going for a massage but quickly changed our minds at those prices. And the other services at the spa were very much under used because of the high costs. I am sure that many more local people could be employed if the prices were more reasonable! We had no problem with the extra charges for the surfing and the boogie boarding but the extra cost for the attached water park with the slides meant that it sat almost empty the whole week. Checking in our group was tedious especially after flying and bussing to get there. More staff at the front desk would be appreciated to get people to their rooms sooner.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Unbelievable as always

We have been to this resort many times and each time it is like going home. The staff go out of their way to assist and please the guests. There are always sufficient beach lounges at the pool and/or beach. The grounds are immaculate. There are long time staff members who seem genuinely happy to see us again and we have made friends with a few.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great place!

Akumal! Very clean and staff is very attentive to the property and they take real good care of you in the buffet area. Meals are pretty good with lots of choices! We only had what we would consider one bad meal at the Oasis restaurant. It was supposed to be a la carte and we ended up having to use the food bar for the entrees. And.... the food was dry and not that hot. I think they just warmed up the dishes they served us. The free Shopping trip to city was not very pleasant. Transat told us it [... read more] was a four trip that turned into 6 hours, half of which was travel time in a van as they had so many pickups and drop offs. Very unpleasant to say the least! Our only other complaint is that there is no noise control at the (Infinity) adult pool area. I had to encourage people to turn down their portable music at the pool areas. I was not the only one to complain to those responsible. We went there to relax and not have music blaring. At one point we could not hear ourselves talk.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Good Resort

The staff were very friendly. The resort was clean. Some of the services were a little slow in responding to the needs of the elderly members who traveled with our group. The resort is very large and spread out and a lot of walking to different venues

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great vacation

All the facilities were kept in immaculate shape . The entire staff seemed to work constantly at keeping everything in great condition. The food at the resort was very good . Only shortfall for us was the beach, it was to shallow and rocky in most places . The break wall did a good job of keeping back the sea but it made the beach short and narrow . A good beach for people with small children but not good for swimming. The staff was excellent and very helpful.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: 3 star resort with Management issues - Stay somewhere else

The Ocean Riviera Paradise is not what is advertised in the brochure. Check-in took until 7pm because the managers did not want us to know that they placed us in a construction zone that at 8 am was a mix of buzz saws and hammering until the evening. They wanted us to pay extra to have a room away from the noise and the smells of varnish and paint. The beach and pools were good. Not as much activity as at other resorts. Seems very understaffed and there are long lines for everything (ev [... read more]en to get into an empty buffet)The showers flood the bathrooms so if you go, plug the shower with towels or you will walking in an inch of water. Don't be fooled by the "newness". This resort will age rapidly and unless they hire more staff will not improve at all. We stayed in the Daisy Section - if you are thinking of booking there - don't - especially if the construction is not complete. If you are already booked there try to switch it.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Great resort 3rd visit

Rooms are comfortable and clean grounds are beautiful staff are friendly and always greeted us. Especially enjoyed the Spanish lessons by Rigo at the steakhouse. Resort should consider a lost and found box where small item could be recovered. I left my hat and clip on sunglasses in the buffet when I returned 5 minutes later they were gone. I am sure they would be of value to no one but me.
