Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Beautiful

Its a lovely resort it was second visit..was there about 7 years ago....I love the walking ..and the food was excellent especially at the beach lunch buffet ...we however could rarely find a place to sit at the pool or on the beach but what ever I'm away from the canadian cold so I will sit on the ground I'm so happy to be on vacation....staff were great and always friendly ...all in all very happy 😊

Breathless Riviera Cancun: Exquisite attention to detail.

The hotel was just breathless! Very clean and so much attention to detail! Workers and staff everywhere all the time working very hard to ensure all the guests have a beautiful place from the beach to the front gates! Each was very clean at all times. The only down sides I would have to say is that their 24 hour buffet isn’t 24 hours. It closes at 4pm daily and the main restaurants are open only at 6 so you have to go to the beach pool area for burgers etc. Room service was great but alway [... read more]s 1 hour wait so make sure you aren’t starved! Also on the last night before we left I had put my two piece bikini on a chair on our swim up patio to dry, which is accessable only to the other 4 rooms adjacent to us by pool, when I woke up in the morning to get the suit, my bottoms were missing. I checked the pool and the area around, also in our room in case I miss placed it. I waited till getting home to check my baggage thoroughly and yup they were taken. I don’t know why someone would take someone’s bikini thongs, I know they were super cute cause I bought them just for this trip, Anyhow other than that I have no complaints about this place! Don’t get talked into the “club” presentation. We were told it would take 90 min but 2 1/2 hours later, 😳 but they paid for our excursion and a show so I guess it was worth it.

Riu Emerald Bay: Great vacay for price

Large hotel, rooms were small and dated, pools were very tired w the concrete breaking off, the food started off ok but got better as the week went on, one bank machine and it wasn’t working all week, lack of excursions, entertainment was great, staff was very nice especially the entertainment staff Lower quality than other rui hotels

Hotel Dos Playas Faranda: It was ok

Staff is chill. But the hotel rooms are small. Our room had many problems like broken A/C, leaking toilet, no hot water and no shower door. The beaches weren't good either and there's no 24hour service

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Amazing Resort! If you're looking for good food and Beach this is your spot!

We were skeptical to book because the pictures looked absolutely amazing, but sometimes things are different when you get there. I must say we were not disappointed! The service, food, Beach and really everything was perfect! We upgraded to a swim out room and I would definitely recommend the upgrade! The food was probably our favorite part of the whole trip! Every single restaurant aside from Tex-Mex we loved! Eldorado was our favorite and Hunter Steakhouse! The Caribbean BBQ on the beach was a [... read more]lso an amazing experience! I did think the nightly entertainment should be extended for longer hours, but the other Resort had lots going on after 10 p.m.. The beach massage service is based on tips and they are absolutely amazing and way cheaper than the spa. Tip Victor well and he will cater to your every need! I was disappointed when I saw the spa prices. Vacations are expensive enough and I've never seen Spa prices that High ever! However it did look wonderful, but I doubt they could beat the massage service on the beach! In a way we booked just for the spa, but ended up getting massages everyday on the beach instead and we're just as happy! If you're worried about the beach I was in the same boat reading some of the reviews on here. They have a bobcat that goes all morning taking the seaweed off Resort so don't worry! There beaches are some of the better ones I've seen in Mexico. Sand all the way out and no Coral or rocks to worry about. However with that being said the snorkeling around the resort is a little boring, but their snorkeling Excursion is amazing! I would definitely recommend the catamaran snorkeling Excursion. Is its only $50 and is so much fun and 3 hours long! Definitely worth it. We saw a couple sea turtles, but the crew ahead of us saw a hammerhead shark! So there is lots to see! Another perk I liked about this resort was that Grey Goose was not a top-shelf liquor that you had to pay for. We didn't figure this out until our 5th day so I thought I would mention it on here! Take advantage! All the drinks were amazing! They don't cheap out on anything at this place! I hope this review was helpful. Also, there is construction going on for new resort on the other side of building 1 so I would recommend if you are there to ask to be facing the pool so you don't have to look at it. Although it might be nice to look at the ocean every morning ❤. The swim outs facing the ocean (building 1), and in building two or three are the best ones! We were in building 1 facing the pool and they were a little cold as they didn't get much sun during the day. But I still loved it! So amazing to be able to wake up and go on your patio and dive in! Another bonus is that you are only 10 minutes from the airport!

NYX Hotel Cancun: Great Memories

We (a group of 8 friends) just returned from a wonderful week at NYX. The food was the best we've ever had at at all inclusive. Service was amazing (shout out to Eddie at the magic bar, Jimmy and Shrek). Rooms were nice and clean. We are already working on returning this New Year's Eve with the family!

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Excellent Resort for the 2nd Time!

Extremely clean resort. Staff, waiters, bartenders, all awesome people. They took care of your needs promptly. Easy check-in upon early arrival and room was ready and clean which was a bonus. Food once again was fantastic at all the Al a carte restaurants. Beach was much better this year as previous year due to the seaweed but only mother nature can fix that! Only negative is that there could be more beach and pool chairs available.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Wonderful vacation resort

The Barcelo Maya Palace is a wonderful resort. The staff is friendly & always smiling. The food was first rate. I tried many different drinks that I thoroughly enjoyed. The on sight shopping was very good. Our tour guides to Tulum & Playa Del Carmen were fun & informative. The rooms & the whole complex were clean & well kept. We would certainly consider returning for another fun filled vacation. The only down point is that people reserve the lounges by the pool early in the morning (7am) so t [... read more]hat there were no lounges available when we came out later. Most of these lounges were not occupied most of the day.

Riu Santa Fe: So disappointed

We have bragged about how wonderful the Rui Santa Fe in Los Cabos was for awhile now. Finally we were able to get our friends all together at the same time. (8 couples in our 50’s) The food once again was great. Service was amazing! But... they have now started letting teenagers come for 1/2 the price & wow! It’s absolutely crazy. And not in a good way. I have never written a review before but strongly feel the need to warn the next visitors. We are the kind of people that don’t like t [... read more]o complain and just go with the flow. We make our own good times! But this was very disturbing to say the least. We felt that the place was totally out of control. Every day someone was injured, bodily functions were everywhere in front of everyone. We tried to stay out of the way as much as possible but that’s not what holidays are about. Sleep was disrupted every hour of every night with screaming of all kinds & doors slamming over & over. We were told that this is the way the resorts going to be from now on. We were so very embarrassed that we had brought our friends here. We have always tried to go to Rui resorts for once if not twice a year often for 2 weeks at a time. We have decided that this will no longer be the way to go and will try to find another chain. I’m very sorry. I will miss the fun times.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Our home base resort

This was the 1st year I didnt get the room I had reserved. In fact they gave it away to the wrong couple. We ended up getting an ocean view but the room was next to a building and we could hear the generator all day and night. Hoping next year this doesnt happen again.

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort: Nice place

The hotel was nice, clean and had a beautiful view. We decided to pay extra and get the preferred club amenities. Most days we stayed by the preferred pool and enjoyed the view of the ocean, spotted some whales and watched some golfing. It was a good thing we did because the other pool was loud with blaring music and was very busy which is not what we wanted. The service was good overall, but they needed another wait staff at the preferred pool. It took a really long time to get drinks. The [... read more] yoga was excellent, and it was lovely to have a class at 8am and 9am. The weather was also fantastic. There was no humidity and it was clear and beautifully sunny when we were there the 2nd last week of March. The food was good, but they needed one more restaurant to have good variety. Usually Secrets has a French restaurant, but Secrets Puerto Los Cabos does not. Overall, it was a great vacation if you don't mind not swimming in the ocean (it was too rough).

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Great Resort

First time at a 5 star for us. Enjoyed all the amenities. It was busy as it was the US March break so lots of kids on the Royalton side. We spent our days in the Hideway area but enjoyed most of the restaurants. Was difficult to get into the Japanese restaurant. Like the idea of the door 'key' on your bracelet. No worries about carrying around a door key. As per previous reviews, it is a strange way to clean off the weeds from the beach. They use a bobcat. You would think tha [... read more]t the first pass in the morning, they would use some type of rake. We had an ocenview room which faced also the Hideway pool with balcony Jacuzzi. The hot water for the Jacuzzi was very slow. Also no instructions on how to plug the drain. After a while, found a lever behind a panel on the Jacuzzi. Trip back home which was via Sunwing was delayed 1 hour.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Grand bahia principe coba Mayan Riviera

Lovely resort. Suite was nice and clean. Lots of restaurants for a LA carte dinners. Kukulcan buffet restaurant had huge variety of food. Air Canada Rep really helpful with planning excursions. On the down side, floor dangerously slippery in Kulukan buffet and lobby stairs. Alot more tip requirements than I expected. My daughter's brand new laptop stolen from our suite. Was too big to put in safe box. Bus ride from airport was two hrs.

Riu Playacar: Great resort all around.

Very clean, great food choices, lots to do for couples and kids/families. Shopping is across the street. We were very sceptical about visiting Mexico but had a great time with the kids 3 and 7 months. We felt very safe and would definitely return.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Another terrific week

We loved the grounds and staff. A jungle in the middle of the resort with loads of animals roaming about was a pleasure to walk through and see everyday. The beach is incredible as it enabled a 3 or 4 km walk everyday. Food is good. Staff are excellent and super helpful. Very safe, very clean.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Fabulous resort

Fabulous resort. We were well received at the hotel no problems. The only thing that was negative is trying to find the right line to catch the plane. Not organized at the airport or signs and people from sunwing were not available. My ride to the airport was 45 min late because we were waiting for one more couple that finally never showed up in the end leaving us 2 min to spare before hoping on the plane then they changed the gate to upstairs instead of down so we ran and made it at the last mi [... read more]n. We were tired and stressed

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort: Los Cabos Secrets Resort

The Secrets Resort in Los Cabos is a prime example of how a vacation resort should be operated. All the staff and employees were of great service, and they went above the mark to keep their clientele happy with offering service with a smile at every level during our stay there.

Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Unico, Mexico

We just returned from Unico in Mexico. Overall this was an excellent stay, the staff met us at the door upon arrival and handed us cool wet towels to refresh us, coming inside we were seated as staff members took our luggage to our room. We were given delicious drinks and briefly checked in with a few different staff members as well as our own personal contact Pascual who was our personal go to guy and checked in with us daily to ensure we were ok! The hotel its self spared no details, it was lu [... read more]xurious and amazing, such a boutique like feel with high end finishes. We were always drawn to look at something beautiful! The staff, what can I say they wouldn't even let me carry two plates without running to my side to assist me, even on the beach food and drinks were served to us and towels always laid on the loungers for us to sit, they worked their tails off to assist and please, they were amazing. Everyone always smiled, greeted and solved any issue you had without hesitation. The food was great, however a word of warning, my husband ate raw salmon at the buffet and ended up with a gastro intestinal issue ( going on a week now) BUT we did both eat the raw fish at the Japanese restaurant and both were fine, my assumption was the buffet salmon was sitting there a while ( lesson learned) The grounds were spectacular and the staff took great care to ensure it stayed that way. The tub on the balcony was utilized by us daily, such a great bonus. The entertainment was great and we got so many added bonus for staying at the resort such as spa services and excursions which were inclusive, as well as some paid options. Over all I would highly highly recommend this resort. We will definitely think about going back. The only one negative thing I will say is this, our welcome package was great it was informative and pleasant until the end when the lady tried to sell us on a brunch were we would get to see the new wing of the resort, she made it seem as if it was just a nice brunch with a small tour and then you would get a free gift - in other words they were trying to sell us on some type of time share which REALLY turned us off, she told us what time in the morning and we sort of smiled and nodded, we decided we didn't want to go and the staff called our room three times. My husband finally answered and told them no we were not interested and after some convincing they finally gave up and never bothered us again. For that reason we decided not to look into excursions to avoid running into the lady trying to sell us. It was a pity as everything else was so so well put together. I was there for my honeymoon not to be sold on a time share. We also told them we were on our honeymoon, we didn't expect special treatment but any means but they didn't go out of the way to do anything for us ( rose petals on the bed or what have you) That was a bit disappointing as you often hear of some Honeymoon perks! All in all it was a beautiful week away with great weather, beautiful views, pampering and relaxation. If you stay at Unico I doubt you will be disappointed.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Loved the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen

I loved the Hilton in Playa Del Carmen. We stayed there the week of March 18TH, 2019. The room was spacious and clean. The service was great, The food was excellent with a lot of choices. I loved the location with 5th ave right outside the door.

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa: Wonderful experience!!

We loved everything about this hotel!! The food was fantastic the staff wonderful everything was " a pleasure". The rooms were clean and well stocked. The grounds were beautiful many trees and flowering plants, and the sounds of the birds , so enjoyable!!!
