Dreams Jade Resort and Spa: N.J.R. EXPERIENCE

AS THIS WAS OUR 5TH TIME AT THIS RESORT, I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT... EVERYTHING WAS AS USUAL, GREAT.. HOPING TO BE UPGRADED TO THE PREFERRED SECTION, I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE ADDED COST WHICH WAS MORE THAN I WAS QUOTED, BUT STILL WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing!

We LOVED Akumal! The infinity pool that was recently put in was spectacular! We were very happy with the food and service. It's great that you also get access to the 3 other Bahia Principe resorts (Coba, Sian Ka'an and Tulum) as well the local village (Hacienda Doña Isabel). I would highly recommend staying here!

Reef Club Playacar Beach: Amazing !!!!

This was one of the nicest resorts I have ever stayed in. It is not too large in size which allows you to become very familiar with the resort and staff during your stay. The jungle vibe of the resort is like no other and the staff work extremely hard to keep it very clean. The service was quick and food was incredible !!!! The entertainment was great and location of resort is very convenient to get to 5th avenue. I will never forget this vacation and thank the staff for making our experience so [... read more] memorable. We will definitely be coming back !!!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: So much to do!

I loved the multiple pools... the staff... the enormous size of the resort... the food!! The best part was the inlet to snorkel in! I can't even think of anything negative to say! I recommend anyone to stay here!!

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: All Time Favorite!!

I have been to many all-inclusives and resorts over the years. This one was definitely my favourite!!The accommodations and services were awesome but we found the food amazing, which really put it over the top for us! We did not have a single complaint.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Excellent resort!

We stayed at this resort from Jan 9 to 16th, 2016. We are from Canada and have gone on a winter getaway for the past 16 years. This was our first time at this resort but we have stayed at 2 other Bahia Principle resorts in Punta Cana. This resort is about 1 1/2 hours by bus from Cancer airport. The resort is very large. Grounds are extremely well kept. Rooms are clean and staff work very hard at keeping everything stocked. Food is very good with many choices. There is something wrong if you cann [... read more]ot find something that you like to eat! Be sure to book alacartes right away when you get there. The good ones book up quick. We really liked the Mikado and the Brazilian. Beach is really good and you can walk along way. We recommend this resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: MOST RELAXING RESORT

You feel that you are very close to nature. The resort is in a forest setting complete with wildlife. They also have the friendliest and the nicest staff. They are always ready to fulfill your needs. Also being in this resort entitles you to use the other Principe Bahia resorts nearby.

Grand Sunset Princess: Not great!

Although the hotel itself was clean, the front desk staff were indifferent upon checkin and did not tell us anything about the resort other than where we COULD NOT eat! The service staff were great! Friendly and efficient. The resort is huge and hard to get around, especially if you are handicapped! Absolutely no benches to rest on when walking! The resort was overflowing with drunken young people who swore and screamed constantly! Great for a family resort! They serve INSTANT COFFEE throughout  [... read more]the resort! Horrible house red wine! The buffets had a good variety of food but it was always cold! Al la carte restaurants were not good! Felt rushed every time! They wanted us to order immediately and we were done is less than 40 minutes! Hardly a relaxing dinner! Concierge staff were rude! Everything was an upgrade so take extra cash! Always confronted by hotel staff trying to sell time shares! The beach was nice but that was about it!

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Truly Amazing

Everything was spectacular. Great service, grounds are beautiful and well maintained, beach is clean and perfect sand, resort is relaxing. entertainment staff is very friendly and engaging. I have been there twice and both times have been wonderful.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Resort

As soon as we arrived my impression of the combined resorts-coba, tulum,akumal and sian ka'an as a whole is beautiful, well manicured with lots of wildlife. The lobbies of each section are large and open air. Check in: was fairly quick although our room was not ready until 2 hours later because of our early flight. We received a welcome drink but no cool towel. Rooms: Great size with a sitting area. Bathroom Large with large soaking tub with jets. Because of our upgrade we had beach towels, rob [... read more]es, slippers and a no charge safe. Stocked mini bar with drinks and snacks. Walls were pretty thin as we could hear our neighbours a few nights coming in late or moving around. Maid service was good but she missed a day but later that night we found a bag of towels and supplies at our door. We only received turndown service once but not big deal. Mini bar was re- stocked when drinks were taken but only once with snacks which was disappointing. Pools: Quite pool, Kids pool and small adult pools so lots of choices. Never hard to find loungers but on sunny days a little harder to find shade. Lots of shallow areas to just sit and relax. Beach: Yes it is a walk and you can take the trolley. Walk was 5 minutes and you were at the Akumal beach. Nice walk down the beach to the Coba or Tulum area. We had all red flag days but the "whales" on the beach stopped the tide from being too rough. The whales are not that attractive but they certainly do work. We thought Coba beach area was nicer then Tulums- more clear of rocks and coral. Lots of loungers and shade but once again if a sunny day they would be hard to find if you came later in morning. Bar and snack area close by but we found it a pain to head to the washrooms no matter which area of the beach we were at. Buffets: Main buffets at Coba and Tulum are huge. Lots to choose from. Mexican, Asian, Healthy, Vegetarian, small children area, seafood, bread, dessert areas available everyday. Some excellent choices some not so great. For the most part we found desserts not appealing as they were mostly gelatine type but the crepes and battered banana excellent. A la cartes: The ones worth visiting in our opinion...Brazilian-a green card to say I want more, a red to say I'm full. Lots of different delicious meats come to you table on a spear. Appetizers were buffet style. Caesar salad was very good with real bacon bits. Asian table show: Food was excellent. The show part was very slow with long breaks in between showing up, apps, cooking show, eating, dessert. I found it funny that they didn't keep things rolling and many times we were left in a warm room with 12 ppl staring at each other wondering when we were going to get served. One couple left early and didn't wait for dessert. The show part was entertaining but very short, not on going like we have seen in other resorts. We spent almost 2 hours here because of slow service. Mexican: Was very disappointed to be informed that this option was not available to us as we were told it was closed for one month. Snack/24 hr bar- Overall a good alternative to the buffet but breakfast didn't have great choices- although we did get fruit on our last early morning day even though it was not a menu choice which was greatly appreciated. Internet: 1 hour free per computer/ipad in lobbies and pool area. Never had a problem and it was long enough to stay in touch with family at home. Nice free perk. Entertainment: Elvis was amazing. Highly recommend seeing him. We caught his show at the Tulum lobby bar and then part of another show which was different in Coba's. Best impersonator we have seen. The other shows we saw were good to just ok but even if we didn't love the show, overall the performers were excellent in dance and acrobatics. Shuttles: All run pretty frequently. There is no signs to say where they are heading to, so you are constantly asking the driver or bell boy where to wait. My only compliant was on our way to the Brazilian a la carte which is at the Tulum. We left 45 minutes before hand and had to get two trolleys.Reservations at 7:30. On the transfer at the Tulum lobby we were told where to wait but when the cart came the driver said he wasn't going there and we had to wait again. We waited until 7:20 and still no cart. It was pouring out the whole time and we knew they were strict on arrival time and will not hold reservation. With only 10 mins left and knowing the a la carte was a 8-10 min walk we thought we better walk it instead of waiting. Our lower half of our bodies were soaked and we were not impressed when we arrived to find out we would be seated in the tent area of the restaurant which once again had puddles all over the floor and very slippery getting up to serve yourself a the appetizer/dessert buffet. Weather: Not so great -overcast and rainy with only a couple sunny days but not the resorts fault. Like I mentioned earlier the lobbies are large so there is always a place to hang out when weather does not co-operate. Bahia Principe App: Great to have this. Requested extra pillows on it. You can also book your a la carts and reminders for them. Maps and what's happening around the resort. Overall it's a great resort. Too large to really get to know the staff unless you make a point of going to same area all the time. We spent lots of time at Tulum as we are beach ppl and it was nice to have the option to resort hop. Our daughter is heading here in a couple weeks and I know she will have a great time too.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Wow.......Very Nice!

I must say we really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Palladium. The resort is big (we loved walking everywhere) but the train or "golf cart" gentlemen always checked to see if we needed a ride. The buffets were wonderful (even for a picky eater). Prime rib...never had that at a resort buffet before. We love to snorkel and there are lots of fish to see right at the resort beach. Grounds are meticulous and the staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Mayan Paradise

Amazing resort. They mix opulence with an Eco-jungle with breathtaking results. The rooms are big and lots of space. Big bathroom with a large marble shower and huge closet with free safe. The restaurants are good with the choice of 2 buffets and no reservations required at the a la carte. Walking around the grounds you'll see monkeys, deer, coati, and flamingos. They don't have your typical beach area but the main beach is large, multi level and always calm for swimming. The adult area is breat [... read more]htaking and if you enjoy snorkelling you can enjoy the coral reef right there at the beach. What really makes this resort great is the staff. The entertainment staff are fun and friendly with lots to do. Everyone works very hard to make sure you have an enjoyable vacation. I will add that if you are looking for a high end spa like resort this is not it. We had a great time and the resort exceeded all of our expectations. Highly recommend!

Riu Tequila: It was okay

Room service was good food was ok got sick on the last night from it. Front desk was not very helpful. Pools were nice! Lots of walking but beach was nice ten minute walk from resort to the beach. Very clean

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Good but below average beach!

The resort was ok but the beach was very disappointing. The sand is rough and the water is not inviting. We spent our entire time by the pool. The food was what you would expect for an all inclusive. The visitors consisted mostly of families and wedding parties. If you are looking to party or at least mingle with younger people I don't recommend this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Very happy

Ground immaculate, food excellent, staff: some good, front desk not so much, beach is great and overall would go back. Not great entertainment staff or entertainment in general. Went to the Privilege club thinking it was not a time share offer...I was wrong.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Awesome resort

the "a la carte's" we tried were good, the buffet was huge with something for everyone. rooms were clean and bright staff was helpful and friendly plenty of gift shops Cant wait to go back and try the things we didn't get to!

Grand Palladium Kantenah: The Palladium is a fantastic resort!

The beach is beautiful white sand... the pools are cool and refreshing... the food is very good. Nothing to complain about! The service is fantastic with transportation to all of the lobbies. We cannot express how much we enjoyed it! Can't wait to go back. Air Transat service was unexpectedly fantastic. They are situated in the lobby every day to guide you during your stay. Our favorite bartender Santos and waitress Irma made our stay exceptional.

Catalonia Yucatan: It's ok

The hotel felt very small but the amenities were ok. The lagoon for snorkelling was good. Went for privilege superior which was a must since you have all amenities open to you. The spa was only open to over 16 so could not go with my 13 year old. Would not go back again.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Beautiful Paradies with amazing Food and People!

Great set up of the resort surrounded by beautiful nature and curious animals. We had enough space to move around in our room, you just go there to enjoy the beach, the water, the food and the friendliness of the Mexicans. Just amazing and a dream. :) A little con: A little bit of walking involved to get around the hotel, that was not a problem for us. Also no problem for wheelchair access, you can move around easy. If you like swimming in the ocean, bring your swim shoes, recommended there are  [... read more]a few rocky spots, but that is part of this amazing nature. ;)

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Had a great time!

This resort really delivers on expectation -- at least it did for me. The resort is absolutely beautiful. The food was really good. The rooms are new and modern. I will be going back next Xmas season.
