Sunscape Dorado Pacifico: Great vacation!

The SDP never disappoints! This was our second time a this resort and we love it. The service was excellent, the rooms were clean and the pool was very nice. The food was plentiful and we could always find something that we liked to eat. The snack truck was one of our favorites places to grab a quick bite. If I had to recommend anything, I would suggest that you try and book a room that directly facing the ocean or just off to the side. I would also recommend for couples to book a king  [... read more]bed as they are more comfortable than two double beds. Ixtapa has a lot of places to eat outside of the resort but I would recommend going into Zihuatanejo as the food is slightly cheaper and fresher. We ate at a place called Daniels and it was fantastic but don't get me wrong, great places in Ixtapa as well. Overall, we will continue to come back to this lovely part of Mexico!

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Location, location, location

Hotel is well appointed. Location is within a few minutes walk to the Malacon district. Beach is clean. Enjoyed my recent stay. Staff friendly and offer assitance in transportation needs and offering directions to sites.

Grand Oasis Sens: Great Resort

Clean beautiful hotel. No 18-21 kids running around. Food very good. You have access to all other 3 oasis resorts with a day pass. Plan ahead for the Box restaurant. Bracelet not necessary. Study activities offered by hotel because sometimes you have to sign up ex. kinki boat cruise. Overall, I would go back.

Allegro Cozumel: A hidden gem

This resort is getting better everytime we go back love the updates . Its a smaller resort but what it lacks in grand lobbies etc it makes up with cleanliness great food and amazing staff not to mention amazing diving right on the resort some of the best in the world.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Beautiful!

We had an awesome experience for our first all inclusive destination holiday! The resort was beautiful, food was great, and the staff was amazing! We would recommend this resort to our family and friends.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Very good all inclusive

This is a new hotel by Riu chain. Very high level of service ( with smile) in all its functions. Food quality very high, cooking varies from good to excellent. Rooms well appointed, everything works. There is a stand-alone bathtub in the room, not sure why? Apparently a new fashion. We used a nice walk-in shower. This is an alcoholic heaven for those so inclined. Included is each room is a fridge with beer and four various bottles of hard liquor. With meals, unlimited amount of reasonable win [... read more]e and sparkling wine. Several bars serving a variety of good mixed drinks and a reasonable selection of imported brands. Around pools and on the beach a steady supply of drinks offered by service staff. It is fairly isolated. at the end of a long road, next to a sister Riu hotel. Nice beach but can be exposed to strong winds (depends on the season)

Grand Oasis Cancun: Best resort I’ve ever been to

The staff are amazing and friendly the resort is beautiful and the beach is reallly nice great food aswell the steak rotisserie place is better then the keg marble floor everywhere and wild peacocks on the resort are really cool the pool is huge and the Bebidas are cool best resort I’ve ever been to forsure

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Friendly Vallarta

This resort was great. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Rooms were well appointed, clean and well maintained. Food and beverage choices and quality were in keeping with the 4 star experience. The only frustration was trying to change currency and lost and found inquiry, had me running in circles.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Exceptional treatment of clients

I will start off by saying there are no negative comments on anything in particular but there's one thing that really stood out for me. My friend got an ear-complication after diving. Woke up at 2am and went to concierge. They immediately arranged transport for him with security to the medical centre. While there, the security guard stayed with him (a good 40mins) while he received treatment. Afterwards, he made sure my friend got back to his room and the next day, we were able to get the medic [... read more]ation the nurse had prescribed from the on-site pharmacy. It didn't stop there. While we were enjoying our meal at the Mediterranean restaurant (fantastic meal - highly recommend the lamb), a representative from the medical team stopped by our table. She came to check up on my friend and asked if he needed anything else. That means, a) they couldn't find us in our room, b) they went through all the trouble of tracking us down since we had booked our reservation, c) came all the way to check on us. That, to me, was incredibly impressive and I highly recommend this resort for their quick response, personal treatment, and follow through with their guests. Also, the food was amazing. :)

Riu Emerald Bay: Definitely a place id go back to

I felt the service was impecable, food was pretty good but I'm an amazing cook so I'm hard to impress. Grounds were well kept, beautiful. It was an easy place to get around with the beach being just a short walk out the front main pool areas. Cleanliness was spot on. Again the service 5 star and the staff well they make you feel like family. I thoroughly ENJOYED MY STAY THERE and would reccomend The Riu to other.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Great resort

We had a great time at this resort. The staff was friendly and helpful, the resort is clean and well kept. Our room could have used some upgrading but not a big deal. Limited amount of palapas on the beach when comparing to other resorts we have been. I love that everything is so close by, especially when travelling with a 2 year old. The buffet has lots of selection and the a la cartes were good also. Unfortunately could not go to the French restaurant as no kids are allowed.

The Local Hotels Mazatlan: Great resort!

We were very happy with the resort. Food was great. We had an amazing view of the ocean from the 13th floor. I enjoyed having lunch on the 18th floor at the outdoor area. The whole place is very clean and well kept. All of the workers were friendly and happy. If u are looking for a party place this is not the place for u. But if you are looking for a quiet clean and relaxing place - this is the place! This would also be a perfect place if you are in a wheelchair. Very limited walking is needed  [... read more]at this resort.

El Cid Resort Castilla: Great resort

We enjoyed our stay at this resort!! Rooms are clean and staff are courteous to guests The hotel rooms are a little dated but as before resort is clean and great staff The food was very good and decent selection for breakfast lunch and dinner A little hard to book the a la cart restaurants unless booked at 730 in the morning I thought it was great value for the money!!

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Great family vacation spot

This resort ticked many boxes for our group. Food, pools, service, location. All very good. Lots of wildlife which my child loved. Small downside would be the beach as the water is rocky and there was a lot of seaweed but no other complaints aside from that.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: The Excellence really is excellent,

On our 4th visit to the Excellence Cancun, we discovered this resort has actually become even better. As always, the staff really does make the difference and we cannot say enough good about each and every one of them.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Wonderful resort!

Everything was great Great food, great service, clean rooms, very friendly staff. Loved the activities and live entertainment. This was my first time here and I would definitely come back and invite all my friends.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Terrible customer service

The hotel itself was nice the grounds were beautiful. The system for getting people around was great. But when issues came up their customer services was terrible. There was not enough staff the could speak English. Were bumped from staff to staff several times.

Sunscape Dorado Pacifico: Wonderful resort

WE just returned from a 11 night stay at the wonderful Sunscape Dorado Pacifico in Ixtapa. The resort was great. Rooms were comfortable, food was great and the staff were excellent. The beach was great and the pool and swim up bar was great. There was enough of a variety of food to chose from. The only problem we had was in the bar inside the hotel. The poor bartender had to call the entertainment director to change the channel on the TV. For some strange reason, he wouldn’t let it stay  [... read more]in the bar area.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: sharing my experience

Know what you are getting yourself into. I always search out larger resorts, as I enjoy wondering around and can feel the space, rather than a smaller setting. We stayed at the Lindo section of the 5 Iberostar resorts that are adjoining. The Del Mar and Beach seemed to be the older section, and the Maya the newest of the 4. The Lindo and Maya section offered interesting courtyards to access your room, as the Delmar and Beach were just boring apartment buildings with hallways. So an obvious upg [... read more]rade in hotel design. We had access to the Beach and Del Mar, but were restricted to the Maya, however did share the pool with them. Then there was the Grand Paraiso, which seemed like a total different hotel. Design and decor was a major step up, rather opulent compared to the others. Their beach was almost equivalent to the combined of the other 4 building. Some of their rooms were directly on the beach as the other 4 resorts were separated by a mangrove area, giving it a more rustic and natural element. Maya, Lindo, DelMar and Beach's rooms closest to the ocean, which you would think to be the better and more expensive, were not the nicest at all. Our beach bar and snack bar were excellent, however there was a lot of watering down of the drinks. Not a bad idea for the early day consumption, but still disappointing in flavor for some drinks. Found the rooms be to large enough, beds were very comfortable. The balcony was a solid waist high enclosure, so little sitting down and people watching. The restaurant booking was very easy. Your building concierge can make all the reservations for the week. Steak house very good 1st time, second time was very disappointing. The french restaurant was a lot of show, with little food and flavor. The jambalaya was our best meal of the week. Interesting enough we were booked 2x in the Maya section restaurants. We also had access to other Iberostar resorts in the neighborhood. So we went and checked them out, as you could spend from 10AM to 6PM at those locations. Playacar, slightly older again, but a nice wide beach. Cozumel, which was a step down for sure. 4 room buildings, looking very tired, small beach and a dilapidated counter at the swimup bar, missing large sections of the tile, exposing the cement, unacceptable lack of maintenance at that resort. We traveled to that resort for a snorkeling excursion, booked on the beach at the Lindo resort with DresselDive. After traveling 2.5 hr to get to the diving location, we were told the winds and ocean conditions were too strong to be able to go snorkeling/diving. Traveling back and forth used up the day, however we were told the next day we would be fully refunded, which was done on a manual visa transaction slips. They took the funds electronically, why not process the credit in the same manner? It has been 2 weeks and no credit has shown up yet. After several emails to dresseldiving, just received a response that they would be looking into this. Also there was lots of wild life roaming around. Coatis, peacocks, lizards, flamingos. Several peacocks were rather noisy, keeping us awake one night. I was not displeased with the resort overall. It had lost of nice areas to sit and go to. The coffee shop, which made nice specialty drinks, had a roof top (open)terrace, a sports bar, several other bars. I personally like to be outside, so when I go on vacation where it has a pleasant outside temperature, I want to feel that. All the restaurants and buffets were closed in, the buffets had a lot of windows, the restaurants not so. The world is a large place, so many other places to go an see, so I would not return to the resort. I am understanding that the hotel chains all have their own theme and design. I prefer the colonial feel to a place and I felt the Lido gave me that. And I have realized that a 4.5 star rating is the minimum I would like for a resort. I like a rustic feel, but not rundown and old. Pictures make it often nicer than it really is, so be very careful not to underpay for your vacation experience, as a little more could make all the difference. However the same resort, same room, same perks all have different rates, depending when you book.

El Dorado Royale: A Beautiful Resort

This resort was set up very well. The layout makes it feel more spacious then a single series of buildings. It is surrounded by lovely gardens, pools, fountains and the restaurants are each located in their own area. You can do plenty of walking as the resort is connected to two of it's sister resorts and you can eat at the restaurants in the other resorts as part of your all inclusive package. Regular shuttles go back and forth for those less than avid walkers. The food was excellent and t [... read more]he service was very good.
