Grand Oasis Cancun: Great resort

My son and I had a great time at the oasis. Lots of food choices entertainment and the staff was very helpful and polite .I would return back to this resort again for the cost was reasonable. There is a family side and a party side to this resort that make it easy from day to day

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Very nice trip

Very pleasant staff. Excellent food. Weather was perfect. Comfortable bed. Room was cleaned and fridge stocked daily. Overall a very nice resort and good trip. It seemed to be a great choice for people with kids. Lots of stuff for them to do.

Samba Vallarta: excellent

great place for family's with small children. lots of activities all day for young children,three pools for young children 3,4,5 feet deep.Ocean is swimmable and shallow for a good distance.Choice of food is very good and service is excellente.bringing all our grandkids there next year.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Nice resort

Nice resort for people with kids. Good service, good food and nice installations. Long wait sometimes for restaurant and even more with 2 young kids. Room was ok but the matrice was not really comfortable. Sports installations were amazing and nice long beach. I would not rebook with Westjet as we had a few bad surprises though.

Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Beautiful resort

Everything was wonderful. Food and service in the restaurants were excellent. Very responsive to requests. Reservations for dinner at the various restaurants were better managed if you did them yourself rather than using the local host.

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Amazinnnngg stay!!!!

Amazing customer service, Every employee is nice and respectful Clearly the customer experience is a priority Food was good, a lot of options: buffet, Mexican resto, Italian resto, sushi bar, Brazilian resto and room service Well located: closed to 5th avenue were theirs a lot of shops and mamasita beach (the only place where the water was clear, no seaweed). Older people at the resort with kids though but its easy to walk to club and bar at night on the 5th av. The first drink is usually f [... read more]ree. Room cleaned everyday Lot of activities can be booked at the resort. Coco Bongo is a MUST Loved my experience, will come back!!!

Riu Palace Baja California: Nice new/clean place

While the rooms are nice, clean, modern and bright, the Riu Palace Baja California is more like a hotel than a resort. If you like to take time to explore the grounds, this is not the place for you. It is just a hotel on the water. The are four heated pools but they are all located in front of the hotel within throwing distance of each other and the activities/music are often competing with each other, making difficult to just relax around the pool at times. If you enjoy walking along the beac [... read more]h, know that this beach is very difficult to travel on due to extensive slanting. Be prepared to repeatedly be approached by merchants on the beach. Also, the hotel is located a fair distance to Cabos and cab ride is going to set you back $20 CAD each way so if you intend on going into town, you will have to add $$ to your stay here. We enjoyed a nice assortment of food and the staff was very courteous and friendly. Though they try, the nightly entertainment is not very good at all. If you don't like noise, request a room that is not facing the RIU Sante Fe next door. Loud music and parties are organized at the Sante Fe and many have complained that they couldn't sit on their decks or leave their patio doors open because of the excessive noise. These parties tend to end early enough though.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful resort

Hi. Hotel was nice and it was clean. The beach was pretty to look at but the sand was horrible. It says beachfront but you have to walk a certain distance over rocks to get to the water. The food was good but I expected buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner it was only at breakfast. Lunch you had to do a la carte. Dinner it was outside buffet style but they seated you at tables with other families. I feel it's a little deceptive when they say all inclusive Buffet. Also I wasn't impressed at  [... read more]the coffee shop closes at 10 p.m. Hotel was clean, safe and the staff were very nice. Can't beat the weather

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Exceeded expectations!

This was a last-minute booking. I had actually been at the Catalonia Royal Tulum in Riviera Maya earlier in January this year. That resort was brilliant. I expected something a notch below, in view of the fact that I was paying about half this time, admittedly later in the season. In fact I was amazed at the value. Mine was the cheapest room, but very roomy, large bathroom, etc. Friendly staff. Laid-back clientele, mainly western European and South American, and a few Canadians. Very easy-goin [... read more]g atmosphere. Few children. No queues to speak of, for anything. Smaller size,at just over 300 rooms. Never a problem finding a beach chair or shade, whereever I wanted to sit. A distinct no smoking area on the beach. Excellent buffet, with theme nights so repetition was minimal. The Italian and Mexican theme restaurants were very good. The former served an excellent filet mignon. The only real problem - not the resort's fault - was the heavy accumulation of seaweed which made normal beach walking difficult. The resort did well to clean it up each morning, so bathers could access the sea. One could still walk on the wide beach, though on soft sand. Located in the Playcar development, it is an easy walk into Playa del Carmen. I actually walked to the ferry and went to Cozumel for the afternoon. I never did use the facilities of the sister Wyndham resort. I couldn't really find a serious fault with this resort. It is at least the 4.2 Sunwing rating. Based on the difference in cost I would choose this over the Catalonia Royal Tulum which I thought was a true 5 star. The difference in the two was minimal.

Hotel Emporio Ixtapa: Highs and Lows here

Lets start with the good. The staff truly (for the most part, well get to that) make this a great hotel. From the bell hop to the ladies seating you at the restaurant, nothing could make them better. Except one. The grounds, and the hotel itself is (again for the most part) kept very well. The food is what the food is, its Mexico, not Paris. The staff member that made the best impression was the lady at the coffee cart. She truly was a great representation of what the hotel should be.  [... read more]The hotel amenities are sparse at best, but that is one thing that drew me to it, as the wife and I are not stay on the resort the whole vacation kind of people. The pool is kept clean, as is the kids area, and the hot tub. Grounds maintenance was second to none. The location of the resort to the local area is perfect. Locals due use this hotel as well as tourists, which is another great item, you are forced to immerse yourself into their world. Shopping, restaurants, etc. directly across the street, with a tourist "market" a few min. walk away. Market is in quotes as they don't have much in the way of local artisanal items, more of the same factory manufactured in china goods that all tourist areas have. Now the bad. As mentioned above the cleanliness of the resort in a whole is great, except the bathroom in the room we had (708). The support handle in the shower has separated from the tile at the lower mount, and in there is about a half inch of black mold growing and festering. I made mention of this to the front desk on two separate occasions, but nothing has been done (at least at the time of my leaving) to rectify this. Mold in the shower may not be a downturn for most family's, or people, but my wife only has 1 lung, so any infection can be extremely harmful to her well being. Over all a great place, and I would consider going back if only I could be ensured the mold issue has been handled in the room before I drop the cash.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Fantastic resort

The resort was more than we could have imagined and we were thrilled with everything! The staff was wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. The food was great and we especially liked the peace and quiet of Sian Ka'an. The lush vegetation was unexpected and we especially loved the golf course and wildlife which was evident everywhere.

Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: Great stay!

Beautiful,lush grounds. Amazing service. Way more seaweed than expected but they work all day to clean it up, therefore beach was not great & only a small part of the resort is good for swimming. Rooms were very comfortable.

Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: Thank you Now Jade!

Our second stay at a Now Resort and was excellent. Previous stay was Now Amber in Puerto Vallarta. Staff, grounds and restaurants all excellent. Only downside was amount of seaweed. Nothing they can do to stop that but there must be a quicker way of cleaning it up every morning.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Great trip!!

Great hotel, friendly staff. Not overly crowded. Food was good, a là cartes.... Mexican was my favorite. Would recommend. Only complaint, no small tables to put drinks on at beach.. overall, best trip 🥰

Breathless Riviera Cancun: The name of the resort says it all

Breathless was an awesome resort to go to if you want to have a good time that involves both partying and quiet beach time. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the party, head to the beach and while you can still hear some of the music it's not nearly as loud and invasive. It had a good variety for everyone, if wanting to rest and relax, party or both. We got an ocean view room it was nice. There was a good amount of activities throughout the day from beach activities provi [... read more]ded by the E-team to casino night and karaoke. I also get the impression that this is a weekenders resort with it filling up to capacity on Friday - Sunday and with Monday and Tuesday being quieter days. We were there Thursday to Tuesday and definitely noticed the change in population. Food represented a good menu that all inclusive resorts have. I would highly recommend the flambe show at La Coquette with Antonio, off menus items (ask Esmeralda, she was fantastic) at the Strip, Nook had awesome gelato and chocolate croissants. The staff was amazing and very helpful if needing anything. Key stars that stand out include: Lisa and Moon (from E-Team) were great with the water aerobics and made it a lot of fun. They also played the most random Texas Holdem and Blackjack rules (resort rules I guess :)) that were a blast and we totally got swindled by Moon at darts. Mack was an awesome bartender at Xhale who was ready to make your stay perfect from check in to check out. Always attentive and a smile on his face. Angel at the swing bar slinging great mango whiskey and other specialty drinks with amazingly good wood fired pizza. Manuel at Spoons always made you feel like you're eating at home with a put of coffee in one hand, and a shot of tequila in another if that's your thing. Overall we really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend going for both couples and singles alike!

Samba Vallarta: 4th time

Staff staff staff, we were there back in 2009 and the same wait staff are still working of course there a new ones which obviously been trained by the senior staff amazing sevice everywhere. The rooms are what they are beds are comfortable hot water was fine and the a/c worked. Pool was great never crowded beach was clean and bar service which is very rare.

El Dorado Seaside Suites: Very nice resort

Although we stayed in the older part of the resort, it was well maintained. There were several restaurants to choose from and all of the ones we went to were terrific. All of the restrooms were cleaned very frequently. This resort had a great range of guests from young couples to seniors and it was easy to share tables if needed. The staff in all parts of the hotel were friendly and happy. We enjoyed our 1 week vacation very, very much.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Very Mexican property.

This property is very well maintained. The gardens are beautiful and the whole property is kept very clean. The food at the buffet was amazing. Didn’t bother to go to the a La Carts. Our only complaint was the rooms don’t have fridges and you have to sign to get a hair blower in your room. Otherwise the rooms were spacious and comfortable. I would definitely recommend and go back to this resort.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Perfect from the beggining to the end:)

First of all, I would like to thank Trip Central for the best travel website ever. Janet, the agent is highly professional and honest. I shared my positive experience with all my friends and family, even with other guests at different resorts. Way to go tripcentral.ca! Sandos Playacar is our second Sandos experience. I fell in love with this chain. My husband and I just came back from this wonderful resort. The lobby is very impressive and already promising a great stay, the check in  [... read more]and out was quick. I was disappointed with a room at first as it's old, but I Leticia made sure that it's always clean and tidy. Most of all, there is no musty smell which is very rare. The bed was super comfortable and I slept better than anywhere else. The adult pool and the beach are very relaxing, nice and clean. The ground is beautiful. The Festival (buffet) restaurant is specious, and the food is to die for. Mariza is our favourite waiter, very hard working, highly professional and kind. Also, Domingo vas very impressive by remembering our wine choice after just one service. We went to Italian and French restaurants to dinner and both were very good. My favourite place was a Cupcake café, delicious coffee and treats. The entertainment was very good, we enjoyed very good shows following the live music every night. Great job Sandos, we are planning to come back soon!

Las Brisas Huatulco: amazing grounds; awesome food and a great work out!!

This resort was amazing! The service was outstanding! It was clean and the rooms decorated beautifully. The air conditioning worked (Thank Goodness as very warm!) and the food (especially at the buffet) was great every day! Be prepared for a work out however as there are no elevators and the stairs to climb are not for the faint of heart. They do have shuttles readily available b ut even the climb to the lobby can be tough for those not aware. Overall this was a lovely place to be! The pools w [... read more]ere wonderful and the beaches extraordinary. would definitely return!
