Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: Nice Place, Beach Disappointing.

The room was fine, but seems due for an upgrade. We had a Superior Ocean View Room, and were initially given two small- very hard, almost double size beds. When we requested a change, we were moved to a room with a King sized bed. The bed was still a little hard, and the pillows were well used, but the linens were clean. The pools, restaurants, and food in general, were all great. The staff was also awesome. There was no swimming in the ocean because of the very dangerous undertow. The water  [... read more]in this area is not very warm in March, and the beach was also not that great to walk on due to the slope and deeper sand than usual. We missed snorkelling, boogie boarding and swimming. Finally, there wasn't as much to do and see in this area, as we have experienced in other parts/ resorts in Mexico.

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Disappointing and then average

We booked at the Catalonia Maroma. We were extremely disappointed with our room. It was old and grimy, dirty curtains, tiny bathroom, dingy, mattresses very old. We paid for the upgrade which cost us an additional220.00 and they had no upgraded rooms so we had to move resorts to the Catalonia Maya. The grounds were nice and the beach beautiful however, no palapa or palm trees for shade. The staff were very friendly. At the riviera the room was nice and staff very friendly.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Beautiful Bahía principe

This resort is very grand, the lobby and grounds are spectacular. We found that the service was professionally carried out by pleasant employees. The swimming pools are kept immaculate with no shortage of lounge chairs palapas and towels for comfort. We were delighted to be so close to the beach when we didn’t want to be by the pools. There was an amazing variety of cocktails available at the bar and a 24 hour snack bar by the beach which had a delicious assortment of foods as well as drinks [... read more]. The very well trained staff aimed to please and were always pleasant. The a la Carte restaurants provided an elegant change from the buffet restaurants; must book these in advance, well worth the short time it takes. I was a little disappointed with some of the evening entertainment and very disappointed that we had to pay for the great Mexican event in an all inclusive package. I was glad that I didn’t have to walk everywhere as the resort provides internal transport which is available readily. In our room we could hear some noise from the pool, but not enough to disturb us and never at night. I noticed that programs were provided for children and thought it would be a lovely safe resort to take my grandchildren to. Perhaps we will bring them with us next time.

Riu Santa Fe: Beautiful...but a little busy

Grounds were clean ,rooms were clean, restaurants offered a lot of selections ,we went during spring breaker time and we found they were a little under staffed with long line ups for drinks and busy lunch and dinners other than that beautiful resort

Temptation Resort & Spa: Always a good time!

Temptations is the play ground for adults and it lives up to that. No one under 21 and a sexy fun adult vibe. The play makers during the day keep the party going at the sexy pool or you can choose to chill on the beach or by the quiet pool. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and only 2 require a reservation. We have visited this resort 5 times and we meet so many amazing people. Everyone you meet are repeat visitors or first timers that say "we are definitely coming back". No other resort seem [... read more]s to keep the fun going day and night like this resort. At night they have an open air bar that has a great show the last about 45 minutes the it turns into a party place. There is also night time food and they stay open as long as you want to party. They also have a spa, water sports and a coffee shop. We have stayed in a garden view, ocean vie and this last time in Bash tower. Rooms are clean, beds comfy and black out drapes to help you sleep in if you stayed up late!

Grand Riviera Princess: Incredible Resort

We just got back from 9 days at the Grand Riviera Princess. What a wonderful experience. This is our second trip in five years and we were thrilled to find the resort in excellent condition still. The pools are beautiful and there are party pool, quiet pools, swim up bars, a pirate ship pool for kids. There is a beautiful beach and the hotel does a great job keeping on top of the seaweed. The water is warm and there are many available loungers and bars and games to be played on the beach. Our ro [... read more]om was grand and perfectly serviced. We ate at different restaurants in the resort every night. We enjoyed the gym daily and loved the Pilates classes.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Amazing holiday!

This was our family’s first time at an all inclusive & we absolutely loved it! There are so many amenities for families & kids of all ages. You can be as relaxed or as active as you want! The resort & location is beautiful. Amazing holiday!

Secrets Aura Cozumel: Not your typical Secrets

I had stayed at 4 Secrets prior to booking Aura Cozumel. I am a huge fan of the brand. This resort, however, was not quite up to the standard of the other Secrets Resorts. This location was purchased from Wyndham 8 years ago and not all rooms are renovated - many are out dated. It definitely needs a facelift. The staff was pleasant - but the service was fairly slow. Restaurant options are limited compared to other Secrets - but the food was good quality. This resort is nice - but if you have bee [... read more]n to other Secrets properties, it will not compare. If you have never been to a Secrets, don’t judge them based on this resort. Overall I would say it is 4 stars at best.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Good resort

Overall experience was good. Cleanliness, staff and facility maintenance was in good shape. Need to include more of Vegetarian food as most of the vegetarian food has some sort of meat/fish in it so hard to find vegetarian food without meat. We had to request to Chef to cook food for us and they were friendly enough to make food for our choices but missing some spices to make it more tastier.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: FANTASTIC RESORT

Grounds were beautiful, Entertainment awesome, choice for food restaurants was amazing, although very busy and long waits for tables. Priority given to the Diamond Club. Many people not in that club were not happy . Beach was OK not wonderful, seaweed along shoreline. water was a bit murky and rough Rooms were amazingly modern , clean and well equipped. Service was friendly and willing to help in any way to make stay enjoyable. Late check in was a bit of a hassle as we were left to fend f [... read more]or ourselves until 3pm. Sunwing flight to and from was smooth and informative, friendly and on time !.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Good for kids, but less so for adult groups!

Although I know many people have had good experiences at this resort, ours was, unfortunately, not great. We arrived and our rooms weren’t to our specifications. My sister and I had requested two double beds, but were given a single king. The couple we were traveling with had requested to not be on the first floor, but were. We spent hours waiting for them to fix this, and they never did. We walked around the buffet searching for seats and after 3 times around still had no seat, and no one of [... read more]fered to help. We’re honestly not hard to please (we had an amazing time at a resort in Cuba last year), but I guess we got off to a rough start and things didn’t improve. I know many people report that the service is really great, but this was not our experience. We actually ended up paying an “upgrade” fee so we could move to Bahia Principe Tulum. For whatever reason, our experience at Tulum was MUCH better and the service was excellent! I would recommend Tulum for sure, and I’m sure I could travel to Coba another time and have a totally different experience, but it really is for kids, so I likely wouldn’t unless traveling with children. I said I’d recommend as I enjoy this group of Bahia resorts, but would recommend the different resorts to different groups of people.

The Reef Coco Beach: Great small clean Resort

The resort is a small but very well kept.We enjoy smaller ones to begin with.They are cleaning all the time.The entertainment was good every night. All restaurants had a variety of things you could eat and we're good. Beach was very clean a little small but very cozy,if you like to go out far to swim because boats were anchored off shore

The Reef Coco Beach: Amazing resort

I give this resort a 10 out of 10 rooms are very clean staff were great food was good lots to choose from pool very clean beach was small but cozy boats in the water was great to look at being a fisherman intertamment was intertaining

The Reef Coco Beach: Reef Coco Beach Playa del Carmeb

Hotel was small but clean. Beach and swim area were small but sand was clean. Food was average. Buffett food was often not kept warm. Staff was great. Entertainment was weak. Overall value was a 6 out 10. Joe Luz

NYX Hotel Cancun: Another great vacation!

This was our third visit to NYX after being recommended by our Tripcentral advisor Judith. Another great relaxation vacation. If you are looking for a low key Cancun vacation and a smaller resort with great staff, an adult oriented international clientele and good food drink, and hospitality look no further. If you are looking for a party or a family vacation with entertainment for the kiddies look elsewhere.

Garza Blanca Preserve Resort And Spa: Exceptional Food

We had a great time at Garza Blanca. Each of the four restaurants was top notch and the staff was very attentive. The private beach was really excellent too. The whole place was very kid-friendly, but there are quiet spots where adults can find some peace too. It's a bit remote and you can't walk into town, which can be positive or negative depending on what you're looking for. If you're heading into Viejo Vallarta, we suggest using Uber, as it's about half the price of a cab (about $6-7 USD per [... read more] trip.)

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

This was a beautiful resort. The grounds were well kept with beautiful flowers. The meals tasted great although there were waits at some alocarts. The entertainment was also great, just a terrible dj at karaoke night. No one stayed. The staff were very mannerly and accomodating. The rooms were very clean. It was a very large resort and although we prefer smaller ones, this is one we would recommend for people wanting a relaxing but entertaining vacation.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: A great week in Mexico!

We really enjoyed the resort. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. We felt very comfortable and safe no matter what time of day or night. All the staff were very friendly. We are not resort people so we don't have a lot to compare it to. Speaking to other guests who have stayed at many different resorts, this resort is far superior to many in this price range.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Amazing resort

I've recently returned from Iberostar Prestige Cancun (room 4511). This was my 8th time to Cancun and by far my favourite hotel. Check-in was a breeze - Ana was extremely friendly and welcoming. Great way to start our trip. We stayed on the prestige side and it was absolutely stunning. We had an ocean front jr suite – brand new room with nice size balcony including a jacuzzi. The maid service was great. There was a button to push beside the door to let them know when you were ready for serv [... read more]ice. The mini fridge and towels were always stocked with beer, pop, juice and water. The beds were actually very comfortable. The room had Bluetooth surround sound so super easy to play music from my phone. Oh and robes in the closet!!! Loved that especially after a day at the pool. The pools were clean, great views of the beach and nice temperature. Always a chair/sunbed available in the sun or shade. Javier by the pool was fantastic - so friendly, chatty and welcoming everyday. The pool waitress service around the pool was great. We never had to wait long for a server to bring us a drink. Alcohol was top-shelf - grey goose was my vodka choice. On the prestige side you don't need a towel card - you just walk-up and pick up as many towels as you like. And at the end of the day they take the towels away for you. We enjoyed that they had nice pool lounge music - with no one yelling on a microphone. It almost had a Thompson hotel Beverly Hills rooftop feel. They also had floating yoga in the pool which was allot of fun. The beach is gorgeous, well kept and free of seaweed. I'm not a foodie but the food on the prestige side was delicious. The breakfast restaurant had a great view of the pool/beach with a full breakfast even caviar. At lunch they had great bbq selections with grilled lobster tails. YUM. If you want to stay in the sun they can bring you a menu and order lunch or snacks right to your pool chair. The Japanese restaurant was also very good. We emailed ahead of time to book a reservation. We only went to one of the entertainment shows – which was good. The entertainment staff will also take groups out to different bars in Cancun at night and provide transportation. We had complimentary use of the spa wet area – which we took advantage of one morning when it was a bit overcast. Other than that one morning the weather was perfect. Sunny and hot everyday. The hotel does not use single use plastic (i.e straws, plastic cups etc). I appreciate the environmental concern. Our room had large glass bottles of water - restocked daily. They also have an APP that you can download and it tells you all the daily activities – no need for printing. Overall the hotel was superb, friendly staff, beautiful grounds and a really fun vibe. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. I will 100% return.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Great Vacay!

We spent a week at The Royalton at the end of Feb and it was wonderful. The resort was beautiful and perfect for families. Our son was 23 months and the kids pool area was perfect for him. The water was a great depth and temperature. We had a swim out room which was so perfect for the afternoon swims after nap time. The food was great as well, so many restaurants to pick from. The staff was friendly, cheerful and accommodating. The only comment I would make is that the beach wasn't the [... read more] greatest so if you a full beach person this resort might not be for you. The sand was nice and soft but the water was rough and not idea of relaxing and swimming with little ones. We were ok with that as the resort is really what we were going for. Another great thing when travelling with kids is this resort if nice and close to the airport so you don't have to sit on a bus for over an hour getting to the resort. And even though it was close to the airport you didn't really hear or see that many planes. Overall this was a great resort that I would definitely recommend it for families!
