Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Great resort

The beach was great. Food terrific. Very tasty. One of the servers, Eva, in the haddad buffet at breakfast was outstanding. Reallly friendly and always remembered what we wanted . Super friendly and cheerful. She works way too hard. Room was amazing. Only complaint was that the evening buffet was really busy with kids and coffee was hard to come by.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos: Beautiful Resort

Sandos is a beautiful resort. Check in was an issue; after waiting two hours for our room to be ready and a very long walk to get to the room, we discovered that they had placed us in a room without a balcony or a view. A call to the front desk and was told to bring our bags back to front desk and they would have another room in 1.5 hours. We eventually did get another room but were offered no compensation for our inconvenience. Not a great start to our stay. The resort is very clean and well k [... read more]ept; staff friendly and helpful. Access to the large marina and the constant movement of the whales in the ocean were highlights of this resort.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Nice resort,

The main buildings were very nice and our residential building was very nice. The grounds were very well kept, awesome beach. The food was not as good. Cold and tough. The wait staff also was not as good. Very slow and we are still waiting for some things that we ordered at meal time. We were surprised that there was only 4 beers in the mini bar in the room. We don’t drink beer and room service would only bring 2 glasses of wine no liquor

Grand Palladium Colonial: Nothing less of amazing.

From the moment we stepped foot on the resort we were amazed. Beautiful clean lobby, attentive and friendly bell boys who greeted us right away. As we arrived early our room wasn’t ready but we were made to feel right at home by guest services. They explained everything and showed us a map with all activities and restaurants and pools. The grounds of the resort are also beautiful and clean. There are signs everywhere so you never feel lost. The pools are clean and deep which is a nice chan [... read more]ge from other resorts I have been to! If you are travelling with kids there is always something fun to do with them as well as the kid’s water park. The beach is nice, however I’m not sure if it is just the season were all the coral reefs are shedding but there was a lot of coral shedding along the shore. Our room was spacious and clean. We had a deluxe room with two queen beds. Everything we needed was in the room. Beds were comfortable the AC works REALLY well. Almost too good we got cold a few nights as our thermostat wouldn’t pick up on temperature correctly and couldn’t be set to a specific temperature. There was entertainment every night. The colonial show is worth watching the dancers are very talented and put in a lot of dedication to their shows. There is a different theme/party every night of the week. What’s great about them for travelling families is the children are also welcome and included in the shows. Food was good, very flavorful, we tried 5 of the dinner restaurants - the steakhouse, service was slower later into the night, and the steak all seems to be cooked to “rare” even when medium was requested. Mexican, Thai house and Italian were really good with great option! We went to the Poseidon (restaurant on the beach) desert was great, we had shrimp for starters and while they were good they went great. While it wouldn’t be my first pick again, it is very popular. The breakfast and lunch buffets always had lots of options for everyone. Miriam that works the omelet stand was amazing. Best omelets all week! Everything was labeled so you knew what you were eating! They have a gelato station at one of the bars, nice refreshing treat mod day, great touch! The bar by the beach side always had a tasty snack ready and a light lunch available. Staff were always friendly, courteous, and helpful! The bartenders are great, always great service with a smile! When relaxing poolside or in the lobby there is usually an attendant walking around offering a cold tasty beverage! The resort has a total of 4 lobbies, Colonial, Kantaneh, white sands, and TRS. You have access to all lobbies except TRS which is the royal suits; however that didn’t take away from our stay. All lobbies had something different to offer. The parties and colonial show happen in the Colonial lobby every night if you are looking for something a little closer to the entertainment. We ended our trip with a day at the resort spa. Wow. So beautiful. The pools a clean and stunning. They have a sauna and a steam room, and hydrotherapy pools. The massage attendants are great and well certified. We booked an 80 minute Zentopia massage and I recommend it! Roberto was my RMT and he did a great job! They have a healthy bar in the spa which offers smoothies, juices, and light snacks; lovely touch! The resort is about a 45 minute drive from the Cancun airport, the drive is worth it. Being away from the hustle and bustle of Playa was nice. We did take a trip in to Playa for shopping on 5th avenue and found it to be very stressful and overwhelming. The vendors are constantly trying to grab you to pull you into their shop and pressure you to buy their items. It was a neat experience but I would not do that excursion again. I would recommend this resort and hope to return in the future! Thank you Grand Palladium Colonial for such a great stay!

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Great vacation at Dreams Riviera Cancun

This resort is one of the better ones that we have stayed at over the years and we have been to many. Food great, service and staff very supportive and friendly. The room (deal of the day room) was comfortable. Only downside was that the buffet restaurant was closed for the duration of our stay, which we sometimes prefer rather than the more formal a-la carte restaurants. Also at times the pool and beach area was rather crowded, but then that is to be expected when travelling during peak sea [... read more]son. We would return to a Dreams resort again.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing Value

Bahia Principe has really 4 conjoined resorts in the Mayan Riviera. Their is also Bahia Principe Coba-Tulum-Ackumal- Sian Ka' an is the newest and an Adult Only resort.. You have access to many choices of restaurants - activities - an amazing Golf Course and the list goes on. We found the room was fine & very clean, but the real highlight is the friendly great staff and the food & dining experience was outstanding. This was our 1st visit to Sian Ka'an -but we have been to this 4 site re [... read more]sort a total of 12 times. That is because we always have a wonderful holiday experience here.

Grand Oasis Palm: Great Time!

We travelled as a group with 8 adults and 3 children (4,3 and 2) This was our 4th consecutive trip as a group. 3rd time to Mexico but first time to Cancun. This resort was amazing for children and families! We loved that some many are snack bars and food restaurants were open all day. The staff were so good with our kids, very helpful and patient. My 4yr old actually turned 5yrs while were there and the staff went over and beyond at the buffet to help set up and party for him. He was so happy a [... read more]nd so excited. There is so much for kids of all ages to do at this resort. My 4yr old and 3yr old loved the balloon animal maker!! The resort is clean, the food is good and we noticed while walking the beach that our beach was well kept compared to others. I would definitely reccommend this resort to other families. Thanks for the great memories! Kristie Wright and Family

Hotel Xcaret Mexico: Expect Adventure and Authentic Culture

Just returned from a week at the Hotel Xcaret. The room was magnificent and exceeded our expectations. We had arrived 4 hours late due to flight delays (mechanical issue and de-icing). The gentlemen who checked us in saw our disheveled and tired faces and changed our room to ensure we had a single, king bed. We ended up in a fabulous corner unit with a sprawling outdoor patio and Jacuzzi. The room service, maids, turn down service were all fantastic we always had ample amounts of shampoo, condit [... read more]ioner, stocked fridge, clean, pressed sheets and snack tray full. The food at the beach restaurant was by far the best. We were only able to get into one a la carte restaurant due to everything being booked and it was late at night (9:30) and to be honest, the rib steak at the beach restaurant was far better as it's cooked on a wood fire grill and served with a herb butter. I liked that the condiments were in little bottles and there were no disposable plastic cups like you see in many resorts that end up littering the ocean. The lagoons were really nice until about Saturday when a storm came in overnight and brought with it strange brown plants that covered the lagoons. The staff did their best to rake it out but I imagine if someone arrived and saw that all week it would be a deterrent to swim and would take away from the view. The beach was red flag all week but at least the lagoons were always calm. The kayaking around the site is fun. It's easy to get lost wandering around the resort. The staff are all very friendly and very personable. You will not be harassed by vendors at this resort - we have been to many where this is the case and it takes away from a relaxing vacation. We have previously visited the Xcaret Park about a decade ago and much has changed. We visited the Xcaret Park twice, the Xenses park and did the Xichen pyramids (long commute but worth it). The Xcaret park cannot be done in 1 day there is just too much to do and see. On the 2nd trip to Xcaret Park we took the little boat that goes around the complex instead of the shuttle. It was nice and we got to see a wild spider monkey on the way back. It just added to the jungle-paradise vibe. We always felt very safe and the people are honest. We didn't have time to do the Xplor site or Xel-Ha (which we did on a previous trip) so we are definitely going to come back but with the kids next time. Speaking of kids, they have their own section and we checked it out and it was fabulous.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Great family vacation

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The grounds were very well kept, beaches are very nice and child friendly, my kids loved the pool and entertainment. Overall, we loved the location, beaches and the resort. We plan to be back next year.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Top notch resort

Amazing resort, with top quality food Its very big and spread out though, so be prepared to walk a lot (or take the golf carts) Excellent gym facility also - we loved to start our day off with a spin class

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort

When we got there and when we went to come back to the airport, our luggage was left in a common area, the front lobby. This I didn't like as anyone could put something into it. Sure enough, when we got home and unpacking our luggage, I found a big jar of almond cream and honey in the front zippered pocket, which was not ours. As ours was not the only red coloured suitcase, someone obviously had mistaken it for theirs and stuck their moisturizer into it. This could have been a lot worse if it  [... read more]had been something illegal for which we would have been blamed. Obviously not supportive of this practice, and therefore would not recommend this spot to anyone d/t lack of security of luggage.

Grand Oasis Palm: Great Family Resort

We travelled with 8 adults and 3 kids ranging from 2-5 years old and there was something for everyone. The grounds were gorgeous and the property is oceanfront. Rooms were clean and not musty smelling.

Selection Riviera Cancun: Absolutely worth 5 stars!!

We stayed at the Azul Sensatori Cancun for 7 days at the beginning of February. We had such a great time. It's a family resort but we requested a room closer to the adult side and that was what we recieved. We had an oceanview with jacuzzi on the top floor and the view was breathtaking. The room itself was very spacious and clean. The resort is on the smaller side so everything is a quick walk away. The pools are all right outside your room no matter where you stay. The beach is also right [... read more] there and the only negative I can say is that there was alot of seaweed, however the resort can't help that and there were constantly staff cleaning it up. The beach itself is beautiful! Lots of Bali beds and chairs, first come first serve, but not hard to get one. By the pool as well, you do have to play the 'towel game' but you are not allowed to put out towels before 7:00am so it wasn't too bad. The food was the best we have ever had. Absolutely worth 5 stars...and I would rate higher if I could. The room service menu was fantastic and absolutely delicious. The breakfast, gourmet burger lunch, wood oven pizza place, beach bbq and every restaurant were top notch!! We have never experienced anything like this at an all inclusive before. The food was fantastic!! We were not as impressed with the buffet...it was ok but didn't have much variety, just a typical buffet however there was no need ever to eat there! You didn't need reservations at any of the restaurants and we almost always got seated immediately. So happy with absolutely everything and hope to back someday!

Fiesta Americana Cozumel: More than I expected

The resort was amazing. The people were extremely friendly, the food was great-didn’t matter which restaurant you went to. The fish tacos were the best and they really tried to change things up at the buffet. I also loved that you didn’t have to make reservations at the a la carte restaurants. The snorkelling was out of this world. I felt like I was in a fish tank. So many fish of different shapes, sizes and colours. I would recommend this resort to anyone.

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Amazing vacation!

Just returned from the Golden Parnassus on Saturday. The resort is lovely. Everything within a few minute walk. The food was very good. The Old Barn restaurant was by far our favourite. We ate there 3 times with the charming Fernando as our waiter. Had fun at the Dolphin Bar. Jesus was a lot of fun. Our room was a delux ocean view. Well worth the few extra dollars. Amazing view of the ocean from the 4th floor. We celebrated my husbands birthday and our anniversary in the same week. Management le [... read more]ft us the most wonderful piece of cake and a bottle of bubbly and chocolate for our anniversary. Was very much appreciated 💖💖. There are not too many resorts we would go back to but this is definitely one of them. Room was kept spotless by maid. No issues at all. Tiki bar is the place to go in the evening. Did not see any of the shows so cannot comment on this. Thank you Golden Parnassus for a wonderful vacation!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Iberostar Paraiso Beach

We love Iberostar Paraiso Beach. This was our fourth trip to the complex; three to paraiso beach and one to paraiso del mar. We have always been pleased, hence our four visits. We were not impressed by Sunwing airlines. The seats were too tightly packed and they ran out of food on the way down. Ground crew taking us to our hotel were very efficient.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Very Good Beach!!

The grounds were kept very clean. The variety of food was great as you had 4 different Barcelo hotel areas to choose from. The beach area was very large to walk, no worries with towels or lounge chairs. The room well, less désirable. Good guest services to help out!!

NYX Hotel Cancun: Intimate and good value in Cancùn

Our stay at the Nyx is a preview for a further holiday in April. So we were looking for a good value, no frill and easily accessible hotel. That is exactly what we got at the Nyx. Beside on or two people, the service was excellent. Gabriella and Jimmy at the beach or Alvea at the front desk for example. Be aware that some people barely speak English. But the will to help you is there anyway. The food is good most of the time. The squids are to die for. We read good things about the Chianti. Wel [... read more]l, no luck for us the service at the table was junior to say the least and the food better at the main restaurant. We did not use the second night we were entitled. Cancun beach is beautiful, the sea was agitated but we had fun with that. Be careful if there is a red flag, we saw a woman rescued. It was professional rescue, it is reassuring. There was not that much seaweed. The pool is not that big but clean and sufficient. Enough animation for people who want day fun but no real partying at night. Who cares, you're in Cancun. Go to Coco Bongo or other places if you feel that need. Be aware that rooms on the lagoon side are noisy, in the morning specially. You might want to invest a little more to be on the ocean side. We begun at 102 and changed at 551 where we had an amazing view. All in all, a very good stay. Final words for Haley Ellerbeck from Tripcentral.ca who was a sweetheart right from the start.

Grand Sunset Princess: Awesome spot

I would recommend this resort to friends and family. I would also return myself. The location was quiet enough to relax but close enough to the local towns and amenities. The excursions were the highlight of the trip!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Absolutely amazing

We had a terrific time the grounds were very well maintained, our rooms were gorgeous and the staff went over and beyond to serve us well The food was awesome so many to choose from and of course the entertainment was super cool to watch we will definately go back thanks for great vacation Oh Transat was also awesome their service at airport and on plane was tremendous thanks again
