Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Great Resort

Everything was perfect except the nightly shows. They would have been great if not of the over sexualized costumes of the women. I chalked it up to Mexico being behind the times. I especially enjoyed the rooms, clean and comfortable. Snack Bar was great. Staff was kind and helpful.

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Pretty good resort

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, this is the perfect place , with the exception that the management should look into the doors of the rooms slamming shut and making a loud noise , very difficult trying to sleep with guests room doors making such loud noises . The service was very good and they really appreciated the service. The age group is majority 50 and over , so it worked out ok for me. I felt very safe at this resort , little disappointed with the food, would give it 7 out of 10 [... read more]. Overall I expected a little more for the price

Barcelo Maya Caribe: The best beach!

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at this hotel. The beach is large and to die for, chairs and shade always available. Food was delicious and a wide selection. Facilities were immaculate but rooms could use an update. Overall a fantastic experience.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya: Secrets Akumal Paradise!

This is our second visit to Secrets Akumal, as we went for a week in November 2018, and then a 10 day trip in March 2019. Both booked with Jenn Black at Trip Central. This adults only all-inclusive resort has everything we want in a vacation destination, situated in a ‘jungle’ of palm trees and other foliage. There are wide walkways in amongst all of this fauna which connect all of the buildings to the eating areas, the pools, the beach, and various other places. Such a feast for the sens [... read more]es. Any of the staff we interacted with appeared genuinely happy to be doing what they were doing, and our housekeeper, Sebastian, was so friendly and full of smiles. Our room was so bright and airy, and immaculately cleaned every day, with the fridge restocked. We enjoyed a few days of room service for breakfast, which we took on the balcony, as the birds chirped and the breeze was blowing through the palm trees. We loved when they would set up for an outdoor buffet, of which were the Mexican and Italian buffets. They set everything up to the nines with fresh linens and decor. Three pools to choose from and a large beach area. The beach can get noisy as many tourists from other areas come to swim and snorkel off of the beach to see the turtles. Many tour groups as well. The resort staff have a good process in place to keep non-Secrets visitors out of the Secrets beach area and loungers. Fantastic resort, and worth the hour and a half drive from the airport. Will definitely be returning.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Nice Resort - VERY large

The grounds were well kept. Food was excellent. The resort is nice but very large with lots of vegetation with a lot of wild animals. The resort is very spread out requiring a lot of walking. There are regular shuttles if you are not able to walk. Service was good. Would not recommend if you are looking for a beautiful beach. If you enjoy pools then this resort would suit you well. The black and white bar was excellent.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Decent, but not good for what it's meant to be

The grounds are amazing and there are so many animals around. A lot of activities for kids and a nice splash park. The multiple cenotes were the highlight. That said, everything else was less than impressive. The food is just ok (and mostly all lukewarm) and the service is far from good for a 4+ star resort. There always seemed to be a long line at the check in counter. The food at the a la carte restaurants was not much better than the buffet and I was outright refused service at the Brazilian  [... read more]restaurant by a terrible hostess. The hotel concierge tried to make up for it but at the end it was too late. Everyone seems to give conflicting information or non at all unless you press and ask more questions. Everyone seems to want to give the basic service but hardly anyone goes above and beyond. Our room was outdated, musty and no water pressure.

Las Brisas Huatulco: A little bit of Canada in Mexico

Las Brisas is a smallish all-inclusive hotel where many Canadians seem to vacation. A great home away from home! This gem of a resort has a good variety of restaurants. Rooms are spacious and clean. A variety of beaches and water sports are available You can also snorkel at the resort when the tide is high as the reef is quite shallow. Staff are friendly too:)

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Good Experience

Had some difficulty with getting our room correct to start. The resort was okay, little out dated. Pier 12 and Shangri LA had good food, the steakhouse and the others were poor. The resort is good for very old couples, not great for middle aged single men. Great spot on the strip and weather was amazing in March.

Temptation Resort & Spa: Had a great time at the Hotel

Everything was always spotless and clean.and the staff are very impressive. The party type of atmosphere is really tough to beat anywhere. Our favorite staff members were: Manuel at water sports, Saby on the beach, Dakota the playmaker, JJ the playmaker, and of course Patric the manager

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Wonderful resort and amazing beach

We stayed at the Lindo last week. Room decor was a bit dated but very clean. We didnt spend much time in room anyways. Beds are very comfortable. Staff are all very helpful and extremely friendly. The entertainment group was fun and encouraged participation from our teenagers. We had the best stretch of the beach by far. Most other resorts have coral in front and are not suitable for swimming. They do a very good job at clearing the washed up seaweed each day to keep the beachfront clea [... read more]n. The water is clear and no coral for a long stretch so the swimming is great. Food was great with lots of variety. I would recommend this place for families with small children or teens.

Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya: Fantastic resort

This hotel is wonderful. There is a wide variety of restaurants which allowed us to try a different restaurant every day of our stay. The food was always delicious and they clearly care a great deal about making sure everything is both tasty and well-presented. They don't have a lot of vegetarian options, but they're clearly working on it and have more than other places we've been. The pools are great too - they have a couple of pools with more noise and activities, but they also have a beauti [... read more]ful one that's the designated quiet pool for peaceful lounging. The poolside drink service is top notch. They don't provide straws due to the local sea turtle population, so we brought our own reusable metal ones which worked great. Speaking of sea turtles, we saw four of them snorkeling off the beach, so they're definitely around. The location allows for day trips to Mayan sites, including Tulum and Chichen Itza, which are worth visiting. Overall, we had an incredible time.

Secrets The Vine Cancun: Beautiful but needs more...

This hotel was beautiful, well kept and the beach is outstanding. I really don’t have anything bad to say as a vacation is what you make of it but it would have been nice to have some dancing and a little more to offer in the evenings. By 10 pm the place was dead and there was really nothing to do. But all in all it was a fabulous resort and I would recommend it!

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Decent resort without many perks

It was a good clean resort that was missing bottled water in the room, a fridge or WiFi anywhere on the resort. Mediocre staff attitude. Beach, pool and restaurants were excellent. For the money definitely worth it, just don't expect too much.

Park Royal Beach Huatulco: Great Trip

We stayed at the Park Royal for two weeks in February and enjoyed every minute of our holiday. The weather was hot and sunny everyday. They always have a red flag at the beach, (although the other hotels don’t) but we swam in the ocean almost everyday. It is easier to get in the water a little further down the beach. Both pools were nice and clean and we never had difficulty finding chairs with shade. The food was good at the buffet (breakfast, lunch and dinner), but we often ate at the a la [... read more] carte restaurant because it was so nice there. The main courses at dinner there were poor, which was disappointing because the service and atmosphere were fantastic. The service everywhere at the hotel was top notch! We have never stayed at any hotel, anywhere in the world that was this clean! The place is spotless. The staff are hardworking and friendly. We will definitely return.

TRS Coral: TRS Coral

My wife and I were guests at the new TRS Coral in Cancun, Mexico starting March 25th,2019. We were on our Honeymoon and it was amazing! The room, service and our Butler's Angel and Chris were the best.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: The staff were always pleasant. The grounds were impeccable. Also we wanted to move to another room No problem.

The staff were always pleasant. The grounds were impeccable. Also we wanted change rooms, no problem. They had us in another room in less than hour. We enjoyed the beach under the wonderful straw umbreallas protecting us from the sun. We had fun parcipati ng in the water aerobics and dancing in the lobby. We hope that we return to Paradise.

Isla Natura Beach: Relaxing vacation with incredible views

This hotel was a wonderful escape. Unbelievable views and a quiet atmosphere. I travelled from Canada to stay here and was surprised as there were only about 10 (in total) english speaking customers at the resort. The majority of customers are from Mexico city - enjoying the ocean for a few days. Many of the staff members know very limited english. I took this as an adventure and learned a bit of spanish! Ocean views are incredible however this part of the ocean was difficult to swim in - v [... read more]ery rocky and wavy. View from infinity pool was great. Food, service we were happy with. I would recommend this hotel for friends who are looking for a quiet escape. If you are wanting lots of action, shows etc....this is not the place for you.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Absolutely Beautiful Resort!

This hotel was beautifully designed. Each space was well thought out to make it amazing ! From the marble floors to the water features everywhere you walked.Beach was so pretty , white sand and snorkeling with turtles ! Service was great, food was delicious. I highly recommend visiting here .I would go back again.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Iberostar

Pros: Beautiful grounds, room was clean, staff were welcoming and always willing to help. Pool area always had available chairs. Entertainment was good. Cons: Like many other "all inclusive" hotels the food was mediocre at best. There were options for vegetarians/vegans however when the concierge assured me that the "a la carte" restaurant had "options" she essentially meant that all of them had the typical "salad bar". Trust me when I say that vegetarians/vegans get tired pretty quick of th [... read more]e "salad bar". Mixed drinks were pre-made blends mixed with alcohol which is done for speed and convenience (I understand that). Tour company for excursions were over priced. With the knowledge of the price of gas, the cost of food and of wages...a 200 USD excursion for one person seemed a bit exorbitant. Will be returning to Mexico again to explore other areas.

Binniguenda Huatulco: Great little resort!!!

The resort is well situated. Would recommend- although the beach club across the street could use an update, the food that is offered at the beach club is very basic however there is so many options to try local food by the beach so it did not matter to us. The hotel grounds are lovely as well as the staff- Food for breakfast and dinner buffet was good. We did the French A La Carte (1 per week) it was OK- not great. The guests were 90% Mexican- no issues-wonderful people- will definitely go b [... read more]ack. The only real complaint is the upgrade being offered at the hotel. In my opinion not worth the money for what is being offered. But everything else was better than expected!
