Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Luxury at its finest!!!!

It was our first time in Mexico and we loved everything about Royalton Cancun Riviera all inclusive resort. From the impressive lobby to the amazing service provided we would return in a heartbeat. The restaurants were incredible. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the cafe/ice cream parlour was a great treat for us on the hot days! The multiple pools and kids play were so convenient. The beaches were clean and well kept. Everyone there seemed happy and content which made for a pleasant [... read more] trip!!!!

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: A very pleasant surprise!

The Barcelo Maya Beach Resort is a fabulous place. Many pools, bars, restaurants, and paths to explore. Our 2 year old grandson just had a ball in the children's pools. The staff was very helpful. The grounds are well groomed. The rooms were great. Overall a great experience and we are planning a return in the future.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Perfect Trip

This is our 4th time at Bahia Sian Ka'an. Happy to see Carlos (bartender), Rigo and Simone (activity staff at pool). Pools: we prefer the activity pool and enjoyed the days we spent there. Food: so many options to eat. We were never hungry and loved everything we had. Room: modern, clean and fridge restocked everyday. We spent a couple days at Akumal resort and by the ocean. This is also a beautiful resort. We will be retuning soon. Thank you!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Luxury relaxation!

We enjoyed a fantastic time at Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an! The resort, food and service were amazing. We also thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and the peace and quiet being a bit removed from the rest of the complex, while still enjoying all the amenities. We would love to come back anytime!

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Great vacation

We just returned from our first trip in Mexico. The Grand Pallidium Kantenah was a great way to spend our first week in Mexico. We stayed in a Junior Suite and were quite surprised with the size of the room. Room was always cleaned and fridge was restocked every day Staff were always friendly ready to help with anything. This is a very big resort and there is a lot of walking but for us that was not a problem. The food was amazing. The best buffet I've ever been to on a resort. Always lo [... read more]ts of food never running out and and always clean and appetizing looking dishes. Pools always clean and always lots of chairs available. Very comfortable chair. Honestly there is only one complaint I can think of. Every morning we went for breakfast the waiter/waitress brought coffee and every morning they then had to go looking for spoons cause they set the tables with knifes and forks only. Management if you read this please save your staff all that running around looking for spoons so they can better serve their tables,and put the spoons on every table. This seems like a minor thing but it's crazy when every morning you need to ask for a soon for your coffee. Loved every minutes of our vacation and are planning a return next year. I highly recommend this resort. L Bennett Woodstock

Riu Palace Riviera Maya: Amazing resort

We absolutely loved this resort,its was beautiful and the seevice was top notch,only great things to say,we had a beautiful honeymoon,many thanks to our travel agent Amanda for recommending this resort:)

Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: Great resort despite narrow beach

Location - Its close enough to the airport for taxi cost about $30 US one way. Food - Restaurants were all very good, especially the surf and turf special at the french rest. Pools - The resort was very full in the first week of december and pool side lounge chairs were hard to get if you weren't up early on the 'family side". The preferred side has an adults only pool where lounge chairs were much easier to get. Staff - All staff were friendly and courteous and genuinely appreciative whe [... read more]n tipped. Rooms - were spacious and very clean (oceanview - non-preferred side) . The beds were very comfortable. Friends had a preferred room with balcony jacuzzi. This room was very large, with nicer ammenities and also very clean. Booking tip - Book preferred when you book your vacation on line when its only a few bucks more than non preferred. If you wait until at the resort check-in desk to upgrade to preferred... its around $400 more for the week and too expensive. If crowded, you'll want access to the preferred pool and the rooms are very nice. I noticed when booking that some preferred rooms were actually cheaper than non-preferred on trip central. Wish I had booked preferred then. The entertainmnet was was as good as it gets in the Mayan. In my mind, this is a four and half to five star resort but the narrow beach took away from the quality of walks that could have made my holiday much more enjoybale. They work hard to remove the smelly seaweed every day. Too Bad there isn't enough beach for beach volleyball and other activities ... but they played volleyball on the roof on a tennis court. I was told that recent stormy weather caused the beach to become narrower than it once was.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Many good things

We always enjoy the food at this resort. The sushi was excellent, as was the Mexican selection. The salads were fresh and varied, and we loved the huge prawns and smoked salmon. The service in the buffet was fast and friendly. We didn't go to any of the a la carte restaurants on this trip, as we were enjoying the buffet so much. The rooms were clean and, in our area, very quiet. The evening entertainment was sometimes excellent, other times not of interest to us. The three tenors who sang [... read more] one evening were outstanding. Make a visit to the infinity pool at the Akumal beach. We had an evening swim there and watched a spectacular lightning storm in a distant cloud. For us, the only down side to this resort was the noise of the air conditioner in the lobby bar, which made it difficult to have a quiet conversation. We are particularly sensitive to this kind of noise, as well as to loud thumping music. When this starts, we move on. Finally, another plus: You won't be bothered by people trying to sell you a time-share. Overall, this is a good place to eat and drink well, dance, walk, swim, relax.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: SUPER STAFF! SUPER HOLIDAY! THE ROYALTON WON US OVER!

OVER ALL, A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THIS WAS A GREAT TRIP FOR A MOTHER AND HER ADULT DAUGHTER TO CELEBRATE MOMS 55TH!! DECIDED UPON BOOKING THE ROYALTON HIDEAWAY ADULT ONLY EXPERIENCE WITH LISA A. FROM THE ST.LAURENT MALL LOCATION IN OTTAWA. SHE'S NEVER STEERED US WRONG IN THE PAST. THIS TIME WAS NO DIFFERENT. FLIGHT AND TRANSFERS TO THE HOTEL WAS SEAMLESS. ARRIVAL AT THE HOTEL WAS WARM AND WELCOMING. FROM THE CONCIERGE CHECK-IN ONWARD, THERE WERE NO NEGATIVES TO COMMENT ON. THE FOOD AT THE DIFFERENT  [... read more]A-LA-CARTE RESTAURANTS WAS GASTRONOMICAL. THE FACT THAT NO RESERVATIONS ARE NEEDED WAS A HUGE PLUS. WITH MOM CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY ON THIS TRIP, NOT A DAY WENT BY THAT SOME FORM OF CELEBRATION TAKING PLACE. BIRTHDAY WISHES FROM THE BAR, BEACH SERVERS, WAITERS, HOUSE STAFF AND FELLOW GUESTS. WHAT A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. BEING SEASONED TRAVELERS, THIS HAD TO BE THE BEST-EVER SERVICE EXPERIENCE. HANDS DOWN!!! KUDOS TO ROYALTON! ONE NEGATIVE ONLY TO SPEAK OF. ALTHOUGH THE MODERN AND SPOTLESS ROOM WAS COMFORTABLE, IT OVERLOOKED A HEAVILY FORESTED AND SWAMPY AREA . THE BALCONY WAS NOT ABLE TO BE ENJOYED DUE TO A PUNGENT ODOR RISING FROM THE SWAMP. MORNING COFFEE ON THE BALCONY WAS VERY MUCH OUT OF THE QUESTION. WE SUGGEST THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A DELUXE ROOM, BOOK AND PAY EXTRA FOR THE UPGRADED BEACH VIEW. AGAIN, THE ROOM WAS BEAUTIFULLY APPOINTED WITH MODERN AND IMPECCABLE TOUCHES. VERY COMFORTABLE. A REQUEST WAS MADE FOR A MOVE TO A DIFFERENT ROOM, BUT INFORMED THAT THAT WAS INDEED THE DELUXE VIEW. THANKFULLY, NOT MUCH TIME WAS SPENT IN THE ROOM. SAYING THIS, WE WILL BE BACK. THE ROYALTON AND ITS WONDERFUL AND FRIENDLY STAFF WON OVER MOM AND DAUGHTER !!! R & I

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great Times

The resort was on top of everything. Food ,service and cleanliness. It's our second year back to back and the resort still has impressed us. Can't go wrong. The staff are on top of it all. There helpful and friendly.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: We LOVE Paraiso Lindo

Our family (ages 6-60) has been spending the last week of November at Paraiso Lindo since 2012. We had a fantastic time again this year. The food was even better than previous years. I did yoga on the beach every morning and it was heavenly. Our small kids enjoyed the kids club and our big kid was comfortable taking part in the more adult activities (ie. pool basketball and volleyball).

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Great family resort!

We loved that there was lots to do beyond going to the pool or beach. There were always different animals to see, paths to explore, cenotes and activities for the kids. The bathrooms were always clean in any location. We spent most of our time by the pool and at the aqua park. I would have liked to see someone cleaning either of them at some point...

Dreams Puerto Morelos Resort and Spa: Beautiful Resort!!

The hotel and grounds were fabulous and clean. The food was amazing, especially at the Asian restaurant. The shows were creative. The staff was attentive. The entertainment staff was AMAZING and they made a point to remember our names (Erika and Ana) and they were soooo much fun. Being that I was supposed to go with my partner but ended up going with my best friend to a couples resort, I still found that although it's a very romantic place, it was very entertaining for singles as well. Thanks so [... read more] much to the AMAZING entertainment team, Ana Banana, Myra, Jonatan, Nico, Blue eyed Xavi and the rest. You guys made our week fabulous. I suppose the only thing I can say negative was that the plumbing in the rooms was a bit weak (toilet) and the beach was weedy and rocky. So although I love swimming in the ocean, I only did so when on a snorkeling adventure. This was two hotels down and was really great! Close and the Mayan reef was beautiful. Recommended. The pools were great (the main pool is not salt but the rest are). We took a taxi from the airport for 35$ USD (prebooked on Taxi2Airport.com which saved us time as it only took 20mins to get to the resort. Overall great resort!!

Grand Palladium Colonial: Great Resort

Beautiful well maintained property . Clean comfortable rooms . Lots of different pools including adult pools . Plenty of eating areas with no shortage of good food . This is a large property with shuttles to get you around if walking is not your thing . Located on the Caribean Sea this resort has it all and we will return again soon for our forth visit .

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Beautiful resort.

My Husband and I stayed Nov 26-Dec 3. A beautiful time to go, the resort was quieter which was nice. Overall: The resort is fairly large, but beautifully kept. The main lobby has a weird strong scent but is not noticed anywhere else at the resort (You only go in to check in and out.) You are able to take shuttles when needed. There is a shopping centre which has a taco bar, Crepe bar/ ice cream parlour and a burger spot (but did not go there) and a Coffee shop! The pools are beautiful and the  [... read more]beach was nice and well kept by staff. Room: comfortable beds and kept very clean. We stayed in the middle section 53. We liked it, quiet and in the centre of things. The ones closer to the lobby would hear the noise from the night entertainment. (51) Service: Absoultely amazing Family: This is an amazing family resort. They have a great program during the day for the kids to go, and when I seen the group all kids looked happy and were having fun. We went with out our child, and we're not bothered by the children around. Beach: Was well kept, some rocks in the water. From where the chairs are to the water, there is a drop. Then again as you enter the water there is a bit of a drop. Fine as adults, I would be nervous if I had my toddler with me. ( but the winds were high making big strong waves- it settled at the end of our trip) Lots of sun chairs and huts for shade. Your not suppose to save chairs (I seen security taking towels) but most people got away with it. Food: Enjoyed it!! We loved the steak house and the Mexican. Italian not so much- too much fish for my liking on the menu. The buffet was great, always found something i liked. Loved breakfast! Location: Only took 30 min to get to the resort from the airport and we were the first to be dropped off the shuttle. So nice! Tip: When finding the shuttle. Ignore those in the airport. Once outside you will find your carrier (WestJet..)and hotel. You just have to search.

Grand Sunset Princess: Fantastic resort ii

We love the resort the ground are excellent the lobby was great I stayed at the ville suite we have all great thing about this resort I would definitely go back again we Love it I'd like to thank Tina is at trip advisor she was fantastic

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Good times!

Hot: Food, Excursions, architecture, cleanness, friendly staff, Not so hot: OK rooms, paid safe, rocky beach, too big had to wait for trollies, far from the airport, Wifi only in the lobby very slow,

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Great resort

This was our first time at the Yucatan Platinum and we enjoyed our stay. It started with a quick and easy reception and the room was fresh and clean. The food was great and the service was five star. The beach is not ideal for swimming but if catching some sun is your thing there are plenty of chairs and having the bar and food right there is very convenient.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Amazing Resort

When arriving at the Platinum Yucatan Princess All Suites Resorts at 2:00 a.m. due to a 2 hour airplane delay, we were received by the night manager and were given a briefing on the use of the resort and then given our keys to our room. The room was exactly as it is shown on the internet, clean and beautiful along with a bottle of champagne. Our room was in the 5000 block which is very central to all the restaurants, swim up bar and pool, beach, night entertainment and reception area. We did [... read more]n't require reservations to the specialty restaurants but there was a little wait time when we went for dinner. The food in the restaurants were all very good along with the buffet. The beach is very narrow and rocky in places so water shoes are recommended and we found the pool very cold. Over all this was one of the best resorts we have been to, I would recommend the resort to everyone.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Superior Resort

There was nothing to complain about at this resort. It was kept incredibly clean and every staff member, the grounds crew to the head chef were smiling and helpful. Our concierge people 'Paola' and 'Alex' were especially accommodating. Food and drinks were the best we have ever had and service was second to none. I plan to return for another vacation.
