Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Very very clean

This hotel was very clean! Check-in was smooth and efficient! The buffet staff was extremely friendly and attentive to ones needs. Buffet was okay - always found something to eat! Salad bar never disappointed with variety. Bar service was good. The pools were always inviting. Beach was clean and always activities going on. Really liked how vendors set up each night.

Riu Yucatan: Good resort

Nice vacation at Riu Yucatan. Very close to Playa Del Carmen and other activities. Nice food but a bit crowdy and 'cafeteria like' eating areas. Comfortable and clean room. Very nice beach. We went there in February and the water was cold.

Ocean Coral and Turquesa: Fantastic resort

My husband and I stayed at Ocean Coral and Turquesa for 5 nights in a privilege suite. This is an excellent resort and we greatly enjoyed our stay there. The beach at the resort was beautiful. Our privilege suite was lovely and clean and, most importantly to me, the king size bed was extremely comfortable. There was a jacuzzi tub on our patio too. Another highlight of this resort is the food - the quality of the food is good and there are many options/restaurants to choose from. The only restaur [... read more]ant that i tried that i didn't enjoy was the mexican one oddly enough, which is a shame since i love mexican food and was in mexico. Fortunately you can get good guacomola and tortilla chips at the dining hall. While i enjoyed all the other restaurants there, the highlight for me was the japanese place where the chefs cook in front of you and entertain. Also with the privilege package you get access to a lovely lounge with tasty apps. If you like cats or iguanas this is also the place for you are as they are in abundance at this resort. The wifi at the resort is free and good. There are 3 pools at this resort, one for privilege only guests with a relaxation vibe, one party vibe pool with music and a pool bar, and another pool for family - so this resort seems to have a little something for everyone. For us, we were looking for a romantic, classy place with a relaxing atmosphere and OCT privilege suite fit the bill. Also as a privilege guest you get free access to the hydrotherapy spa at the resort, which has showers, steam room, big sauna, cool water pool with jets and hot tub. Very nice spa facilities except for the change room which is very small, not much privacy and the showers are messed up. You can't open the shower doors very much since they bang into the shower head. I was only able to squeeze into the tiny crack because i am a small build and it was still a tight squeeze. The gym is pretty small and dismal, but it is better than nothing and everything else at this resort is so on point. Loved this place and would go back!!

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: 5 Star Hospitality

We had a fantastic holiday here. The staff was so friendly from the cleaners to the dance instructors. We felt pampered all week. The restaurants were great...especially the civiche at the Peruvian restaurant. The music was fabulous... lots of live entertainment. The beach suffered from high winds and seaweed but I’m sure we will have better luck next time. Only issue all week was the very long wait for our shuttle to the hotel. My daughter had tears on the plane home...sign of  [... read more]an amazing vacation.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Better than Expected

This Resort will not disappoint! It's Very large and there's something to do for everyone. Loud party pool. Quiet pool, large beach. Always lots of chairs/spots to choose from. There are many great restaurants to choose from and the majority don't need a reservation. That was very convenient. We had a Romantic Villa suite with an outdoor shower which was amazing. I would totally recommend! The only negative part for us was the buffet. The food wasn't hot enough and the bacon in the AM was never [... read more] cooked enough. Other than that, we will definitely be back to this resort.

Catalonia Yucatan: Great time at the Catalonia Yucatan

Just back from a week at the Catalonia Yucatan and had a great time. The food was very good, especially the a la cartes - we went to the Steakhouse, the Mexican, the Japanese and the Italian. The buffets were also good. The beach was okay, although you can't go for a very long walk, and the many pools were excellent. Our room was great. We had a few issues - a toilet that wouldn't flush and water dripping out of a light fixture - but they were fixed very quickly. The best thing about the p [... read more]lace was the staff. They were all friendly, helpful and hard-working.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: I would go back again in a heartbeat!

The grounds are lovely. The beach wonderful. The pools amazing. Sergio at the one pool doing pool aerobics is awesome. I think he draws the biggest crowds! The food at the buffets is plentiful. I took a video walking and recording all the food at a breakfast on the buffet. It's just under 5 minutes long! The fruit looks amazing (I can't eat it sadly), the breads and pastries looked good (again, sadly...not for me). They have pretty much everything you could want. I am on a very spe [... read more]cialized diet and so I had a bit of difficulty eating the same things everyday for breakfast (eggs and bacon). The restaurants in the evenings I had more success with finding more variety of what I could eat. I was not thrilled with every restaurant we tried but that was mostly due to my restricted diet. My sister seemed very happy with it all. The rating I gave for food is only what it is as I did not try much due to my restrictions. It looked good...but I think at some times some of it was a bit dried out on the buffets. The rooms were spacious and I loved that I could sit on the balcony. The pools right outside the buildings. The buildings having the open concept was very neat. There seemed to be a LOT of walking to get around the buildings to the lobbies. I thought this was great (the buildings are big and the property seems massive) as it offset the time I sat on my butt poolside and the calories of the food I ate. The entire property was beautiful. There seemed to be a lot of smaller maintenance activities going on. Replacing pool tiles, repainting marking on streets and sidewalks, removing what I am guessing were cracked ceramic tiles on the walkways.....but I thought this was great as well. Nothing was inconveniencing anyone as none were massive jobs that shut anything down. It shows they take good care of the property replacing/fixing things as they need it, not waiting for things to look worn and old. It took 3 days to get a extra blanket for my bed. Front desk referred to housekeeping. Either they didn't answer the phone or when they did they said they would send one but did not. On the third day I used my translation app on my cell and requested one...handed it to the room maid. A few hours later...ta-da!! I'm always cold and so needed the extra blanket. You can control to a degree the temperature in the room but when one likes it cool and one likes it warm....a blanket comes in handy. I did not come across many staff who were not helpful. The Grills....around the pools....the staff there did not look like they particularly wanted to be there and were not helpful. But everywhere else....enthusiastic staff and great service.

Riu Playacar: Beautiful beach

This was a nice hotel with a gorgeous beach. We loved that the palm trees were the shade. The customer service was really good. We found that there was not enough variety with the restaurants. It would have been nice to be able to go to the other resorts for dinner. As a family food is really important to us and we are not really buffet fans. The rooms were clean the beds were uncomfortable and I know what people mean when they talk about the rooms smelling musty. We moved to a new room day two  [... read more]and it was fine. The pop show we saw on our last night was really good. I would recommend a daily Calendar of activities given out under your door. We have had this at the other places we have stayed and it was handy as we felt we didn’t really know what was happening activity wise. We travelled with two 19 year olds and two 15 year olds and found the resort very safe. Overall it was nice just not amazing.

Canto Del Sol: wonderful place

This resort is situated close to everything, the staff are hard working and friendly. My only negative review would be that guests reserve all the chairs around the pool so early you cannot get a place to relax, this also happens at the beach. Although there are signs posted you cannot do this it happened everyday. This resort is a little older but well taken care of, and most of the guests are repeat which says alot. I would recommend this place to others, the price is good but do not expect 5 [... read more] star quality you will not get it here, but you will be confortabe and you will be fed good food

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Vanlentines week at the Valentin Imperial Maya

My Wife and I have been to allot of resorts in the Carib. and this one ranks one of the best. The grounds are very luxurious and spacious. Not once did we feel crowded or felt like the staff didn't have the time to give us that individual attention when we required it. The property has the feel of a grandiose Mexican/Spanish private plantation with peacefulness and solitude that makes you feel relaxed from the moment you first arrive to the time the Bellmen puts your luggage in the limo for the  [... read more]ride to the airport. The beach area was well cared for, the seaweed and any debris was cleared everyday, there were plenty of lounge chairs and cabanas to go around. We opted for the privilege package that provided us with our own personalized Cabana as well as many other amenities. It was well worth the few extra $, great value. The food was very good, and we had a large variety of ethnicity to choose from, in fact it was so good I made a glutton of myself and had to fast for a full day once I got home just to feel hungry again. I would like to give a big shout out to the concierge staff, especially Jerrod, Francisco & Mauricio. You all made us feel very special and we would like to thank you for that. The Valentin Imperial Maya was recommended to us by a close friend and we have already recommended it to other friends. We cant speak about the excursions that the resort offers, we only went there for solitude and beach therapy, we found both. Thank you to all the staff there.

Riu Santa Fe: Beautiful Resort

Resort is beautiful, clean, and friendly. Entertainment was good. Food was good, rooms were nice! Had great time at the foam parties. This is a party resort, if your looking for quiet time you need to be far from the lobby. I had a blast, Thank you!

Dreams Huatulco: Amazing stay!

This stay was our second consecutive year visiting Huatulco. Trying out Dreams resort was a good choice. Beautiful grounds, no wristbands, no towel cards, unlimited à la cart restaurant visits without reservations. Dreams is an older resort that the rooms have been updated. They enforce a 30 minute rule of leaving your lounger unattended (retrieve your stuff at guest services) Go see Rayna at the lobby bar, she is a great server. The weather is always Hot, Hot, Hot. My wife used the free re [... read more]ntal of paddle boards (she wishes they were available earlier when the ocean is calmer).

El Dorado Royale: Think twice

Eldorado Royale The hotel catered to their members only and provided second rate services to those who did not join. The Japenese restaurant was not considered one of thier best restaurants but it was exemplary, the food and staff amazing! The 2 restaurants that needed reservations to go to were simply ok,not the best and really pushed an upsell for thier wines and tequilas. There was only one restaurant open for breakfast at the Royale from Monday to Thursday which made it hard to get in fo [... read more]r breakfast, and even harder to time it when there was food in the buffet. Very difficult to get decent coffee at any time unless you paid for Starbucks. The main pool had limited seating and it was hard to reserve seats unless you paid $200 per day for a Bali Bed. The beach was rocky and despite the workers working extremely hard to remove the extensive seaweed it was always dirty. The beach was definitely not swimmer friendly. The entertainment was great! The shows were amazing and Mexican night was one of the best! Jojos bar had late night dancing which Was extremely fun! But they always ran Out of grey goose vodka by 6 pm And substituted it with various low level vodkas. If you decide on this resort make sure you ask for an Ocean Front room? Otherwise you are stuck in the back of the resort. All In all I would rate this place at a 3.5. The staff I would rate at a 5!

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Paradise in Riviera Nayarit

Once again a wonderful 2 weeks this is our 12th visit to Marival resort which is like our home away from home. The property is immaculate the food is plentiful and well presented The staff are very helpful and friendly Only negative is quality of wooden deck chairs on the beach.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Great Time

My husband has given his review and I would like to give mine. The staff at this hotel was outstanding, especially our concierge Arturo. As we had been told, the food was great with lots of different restaurants to choose from. We would definitely go back again

Riu Santa Fe: Fabulous resort

This resort had everything you could ask for. Amazing grounds well kept great pools and many bars. The food in all locations were all excellent and very tasteful. The resort was kept was very clean including all restrooms. The rooms were very large with great service from the workers. Entertainment was also very good especially the pool parties. This place is definitely a place for parties and all 8 of us who went thoroughly enjoyed it all. The marina is close by and a great place to visi [... read more]t so much to see and do.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: You need to be in good shape

Its a nice Place but would not go back again too many Stairs and had to change room because they could not fix AC unit and room in lower area the WIFI did not work well. we had the Air transit Imperial club package and only got turn down service tell we had to move rooms on day two of our trip

Secrets Huatulco: Great Resort

The resort grounds are manicured and very well maintained . All the restaurants are excellent and do not require reservations. We have stayed at this resort 6 times and will be back for our 7th. Amazing Staff

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Best vacation experience ever

The combination of weather,great food and the Mexican people made for a memorable holiday.Aspecial shoutout to our concierge at the Lindo,Arturo,who did so much to make our stay so memorable.A suggestion for your shows at night.There is nothing about the shows on your touchscreen.As a result we missed most of the shows during the first week.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: No complaints!!

Well kept... beautiful grounds.... amazing food and options..... Never feel like you are in a crowd.....beautiful scenery at meal time and from the balcony. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Activities are fun and the nightly entertainment is above normal resort quality. Great vacation! .........Unless you buy a privilege package.... Yu still need to be up early to get prime beach and pool spots...
