Royalton CHIC Cancun: Good hotel, recommend

Everything was really good. Variety of food, service, rooms, all bar drinks were authentic, What needs to be improved is cooking of fish and seafood on electro countertop. Definitely, cooks need more training. Less stinky oil, cleaning of the top from previous cooking, etc. Gala nights were exceptional! Would I return to this hotel, probably not, because I like to try different every time. But I’d recommend it.

Secrets The Vine Cancun: Definitely NOT a 5 star hotel

We booked at Secrets The Vine because it was listed as a 5 star hotel. However, we firmly disagree with this rating, as we would never consider this hotel to be a 5 star rated hotel because of the following: 1. Quality and cleanliness of the rooms. Mattress and bedding was of very poor quality. 2. Cleanliness of the pool and beach leaves a lot to be desired. 3. Noisy and party-like atmosphere where it is nearly impossible to find peace and quiet (a 5 star hotel should NEVER resemble a spring- [... read more]breakers hotel). 4. Persistent and pushy sales pitch that was basically force-fed to us to sell us a dubious vacation club with questionable quality and which seemed plagued with dishonesty. More importantly, this whole thing took half a day, which basically ruined the day for us. One of the few good areas in this hotel is the human quality of the majority of the staff (cafe, restaurants, etc.). These are genuinely great and valuable people. The hotel itself is "fake fancy".

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Amazing resort!

We were very pleased with our stay in Riu Palace Costa Mujeres. The food is excellent and hotel is very very clean and maintained well. The staff did a great job keeping our room clean and organized everyday. I only have one concern with the entire stay. I returned home with bite marks on my leg. Not sure if this is something I caught from bed bugs or if it was something else. Other than that it was 5 star all the way.

Atelier Playa Mujeres: Beautiful Resort - Very Luxe Vibes

The resort was a little far from the airport, but well worth it! Upon arriving to the resort, we were greeted and oh my gosh the lobby was breathtaking - the decor was superb, there was a live band playing and it smelt heavenly like a spa. For the most part, there were friendly staff members (minus a few that were rude). Food was good and I absolutely loved the smoothie/juice bar that was across from the gym. I would definitely come back to this resort. The only thing I would recommend for anyon [... read more]e who visits, is to bring some tip money - it's greatly appreciated and you will receive extra special care.

Riu Dunamar: Be warned

Grounds are kept clean constantly. The food is mediocre and never changes. My disappointment was in the pool bar. They would literally recycle plastic cups and reuse them for shots and drinks. By recycle I mean they would dump the used cups in a sinks and rinse them quickly with water and reuse them. The alecarte restaurants were terrible food, stick to the buffet. The resort does not have small bills for usd and when you convert, you only get Mexican pesos. It was a real struggle finding chan [... read more]ge for tips.

Secrets Playa Mujeres: Disappointing

The beach was amazing - beautiful white sand, warm water and it was easy to find chairs on the beach. The hotel rooms were typical of Secrets. The food was average except at the sister resort next door. The drinks were abysmal for a Secrets resort. I’ve visited other Secrets resorts and the quality was much better.

Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres: *Beautiful Resort!* *Detailed Review*

I will be giving our detailed review, it's a bit long but I believe it could be helpful! :) We went 8 days in May 2022 and stayed at Grand Palladium The Resort and our experience was overall pretty amazing. The premises are new since resort was built in 2018 if I'm not mistaken and there is constant maintenance happening. ROOM: Our room was really nice, we got the junior suite with garden view , very spacious, nice closet, with hair drier, jacuzzi bath tub, shower, seating area,  [... read more]couch, TV with movies and room service menu ,king bed, balcony with 2 chairs and a table to spend some time outside. we didn't care much for the view since we spent most time outside the room, if you pay a bit more you get a better view. Room had good AC, they refill your fridge everyday at no extra cost. The only complaint we had of the room is that they gave us an interconnected room , where you could hear EVERYTHING, and on the other side was a big family ( we also have kids we know and understand, BUT we wanted some quiet time ), at the front desk they were very understanding, helpful and gave us a different room at no cost and no hassle. Also be aware the floors in all rooms are tile, EXTREMELLY slippery so wear slippers at all times, especially coming out of shower. POOL: --The Main pool was great, spacious and always had shade for us, It has one bar inside the water and one outside, both were great as well with great service ,the staff around the pool were always asking if we needed anything. There is a small buffet by the pool with finger foods, which is very helpful since the 2 main buffets available at the resort are far from the pool. BEACH: --The Beach is Beautiful, only a TINY bit of seaweed, ocean was a bit aggressive because there had been a few storms the days before, we were told the ocean its pretty calm otherwise, but we still went into water and enjoyed it. A bit harder to get a chair with shade unless you go early in morning I'm guessing .its a pretty long beach, you can walk either way and get your steps in lol and it also had a little spot with some finger food or one of the main buffets is by the pool so no problem there. MOVING AROUND RESORT : The resort its PRETTY big! they have golf carts with drivers running around all day all over the resort, starting at 7 am to drive people around. You just hop in, ask where you want to go and they take you anywhere, but there were none running late at night after 11PM I would say. I like walking and after a few days figured our way around the resort. FOOD : --They have 2 main buffets. both have different schedules: one by the beach with less selection of food and less seating space ( but useful if you spend the day at the beach), and the other buffet is by the Lobby ( so both are in opposite places of resort ) , LOTS of food selection in my opinion and more seating space then in the one by beach, never had to wait to get my food or to be seated .Both have chefs cooking the food as you ask it so pretty fresh and also food that is already cooked. There is another small buffet by the pool, with burgers, hotdogs and finger foods. --There is many a la carte restaurants, only went to the Italian and Japanese and both were great ,and heard all the other ones were good as well. ( just recommend to do the reservations as soon as you get your room number especially for the Japanese Teppanyaki tables as they book REALLY fast ) --And there is a "sports bar" that is open 24/7 for the late food cravings in the "village mall" with a nice vibe , with foosball tables and pool tables. ADULTS ONLY/FAMILY SELECTION --Inside of the same resort they have TRS section, its adults only with their own pool and special services, and then family selection with their own pool as well and different accommodations for families, if you book your room at Grand Palladium you WILL NOT have access to all those specific areas, so something to consider. 'VILLAGE MALL" --They have the "village mall" inside the resort , with a few shops and that's where all the a la cart restaurants are located, the theater is also there where all the night shows ( different theme every night with dancers) for kids and other shows happen, and also they have an "open sky" bar where a DJ comes after 10 PM if you want to dance and enjoy until 1 AM. SPA -- We went to the spa to get a couples massages and use the hydrotherapy pools and it was a really good and relaxing experience as well! (we got a coupon otherwise its pretty expensive) we would totally recommend it! TOURS they offer many different tours, with different companies, so there are many options to choose from. We went to "Isla Mujeres" , had a blast but suffered from what we and the Doctor think of Heat Exhaustion after the trip on the boat, but still managed to enjoy the rest of my stay as much as possible! NOW THE ONLY recommendations I would have for the Resort, would be : - to provide an Optional Full TOUR of the resort once you arrive since most of the time you have to wait anyway for your room (which I've had in other resorts) where they could show you the premises, restaurants everything else to do, where to go eat etc, and also what NOT to do , what might be common sense to some common travelers it's not for people who don't travel often and want to take advantage of every second you have on vacation! It might be helpful to know to take breaks during the day from the heat and sun to avoid heat exhaustion ( actually I did get sick myself with heat exhaustion and spoke with other people at the resort suffering from the same) ,saw some pretty bad sunburns and quit a few poor little kids sick and upset from all the sun exposure and tropical heat. They have a doctor on site but again if the resort provided a WELCOME tour with all the info necessary to enjoy the resort and avoid getting sick it could save travelers time and money! -Also if the resort could allow early check in , even if it would have an extra fee, we had to waited 5 hours to get our room, 5 wasted hours without a welcome tour so didn't know what to do, where to go and also we were really tired since our flight journey started at 2 Am, so we asked and there was no option of early check in not even at an extra cost, something we would probably have paid and we saw a LOT of people hanging by the lobby for many hours since their flights were early as well and didn't know what to do, so early check in should be an option. -- I also believe the Resort as of now is short staffed , so we were told by some nice workers from the resort, so some services by the pool and other places may be a bit slow but the service was amazing from our experience! We would Totally recommend this resort to others and hope to go back to Mexico!

Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres: Love This Resort!!!

Amazing Resort!!! Cant wait to go back. And We just got Home on Monday. The Resort is just Beautiful. The grounds are So well kept. Very, Very clean. We stayed in the Superior Suite.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Paradise on earth

We just came back from Riu Palace Costa Mujeres from a 1 week stay. The beach was amazing, only had seaweed for a couple of days. The food: The Buffet has an amazing choice, You can eat something different everyday. The a la carte restaurants are normal. The only exceptional was Krystal, fusion cuisine,We ate there 2 nights. The service is above average. Once You pick a spot during breakfast and lunch You get a regular server that gets to know how to serve You. Special shout to Marroquín, Nain [... read more] and Abdiel during breakfast and lunch and To Mari our server at the Krystal restaurant. For example I would look for the same server and have my coffee, beer, wine almost immediately. The Beach servers kept the drinks coming all day long, special thanks to Tommy, Canelo and Manuel. The cleanliness in the hotel was immaculate. Front desk services very attentive. You get what You pay for, some people complain about the quality of the food in general and for the price it’s hard to find a better quality price hotel. If You pay twice more You will find better quality food but You have to open Your wallet. I definitely recommend this resort and to have a better view of the hotel and the restaurants go to YouTube and look for video reviews, they helped Us decide choose this resort.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Top notch resort, staff, food, & overall experience!

An incredible resort! The best amenities, food, staff, entertainment, activities, and more! There was so much to do, see, and eat we literally didn’t need to leave the resort! I would most definitely go back & can’t wait until I do! Truly the best experience!!!

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Beautiful beach + amazing resort!

My friend and I stayed at the Riu Palace Costa Mujeres for a week in May 2022. Overall, we had a fantastic experience! The resort is impeccably clean, you’d feel comfortable to walk around barefoot the entire time! The beach was absolutely beautiful and the primary reason we chose Costa Mujeres (knowing well that seaweed is still plaguing Riviera Maya). The food was okay! Breakfast was fantastic! Lunch and dinner at the buffet were basically the exact same all week. But there was still a ton o [... read more]f variety and lots to choose from! We enjoyed most of the speciality restaurants, especially Krystal and Mexican. The pool wasn’t for us at all (we are beach people to begin with). It was very crowded after lunch time and a bit of a mosh pit - If you love that party vibe, the pool is def for you! Thank you to our Trip Central agent, ONeil for booking us another successful trip! I think this is 5 and counting! Always appreciate you!

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Definitely a three star

Hotel looks tired. Poor air conditioning throughout. Rooms warm, restaurants even more so. Locked out of room almost every day. Food was good. Not enough umbrellas around pool. Aqua fitness excellent, pool volleyball included showing butts and breasts if shots missed. Overall a great getaway after pandemic but would not return there.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Basic resort and bad staff

I have had a bad experience dealing with staff in the resort. The service was really bad and almost none of the staff speaks English. The food was really good and I liked the variety of options however all drinks are watered down and not good. The swimming pool was the best part of the vacation however we got kicked out at 8 pm everyday because they close it. The entire resort close at 11 pm so no clubs and nothing really to do other than walking around and going to sleep after 11. The room we g [... read more]ot was very basic and we actually lost the power on our last day where we had to call the receptionist. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

Secrets Playa Mujeres: Playa Mujeres Secrets

Four of us booked a trip the last two weeks in April. It was a very clean, pretty and busy resort. All Staff wore masks, hand sanitizers everywhere and public areas were kept very clean. All the staff were friendly, accommodating and excellent, especially Marcelle, Marlene, Maria and Ross around the pool area. Food was pretty good, fresh and no issues with anything bad. Drinks were good. Pool chairs were plentiful. We played tennis every day and found out you must reserve a spot at the gym, [... read more] concierge knew nothing about reservations. The resort was very loud with lots of parties and weddings. There were no quiet areas to get away and relax and have a conversation with friends without yelling over loud bands in a tiny room. We had a great time but would definitely go to other resorts over this one.

Secrets Mirabel Cancun Resort and Spa: Amazing resort

Fantastic service, beautiful grounds Alex at the pool was amazing, took care of keeping everyone happy. Job well done Will absolutely be back to enjoy the Now Emerald. Pool bartenders work very hard all day

Occidental Tucancun: Beautiful Resort

Amazing layout, friendly staff, needs more shade on the beach. Has none! Mid day it's impossible to be on the beach due to lack of shade. Overall it's a beautiful resort. Due to its layout, everything is conveniently located.

Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton: Not bad

It’s Definitely not a 5 star Resort. The service and the food is alright, the buffet is very small for that size of a resort there’s always a line up to get into the buffet I have been to Mexico quite a few times I never had to wait in the line up get into buffet.

Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres: Amazing resort

The resort was amazing the food was all very good the service was on the dot the beach is beautiful the rooms are beautiful there well air condition nice fans in the rooms the swim up rooms are very nice all the workers and Butler‘s go over and beyond to make you happy. Whenever we asked the Butler for some thing, it would be there in no less then 5 min, i don’t have one complaint, and security is very good, some crazy people got loud and out of hand and one complaint they shut them down ri [... read more]ght away,

Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton: Half and half

Awesome location, staff, beach, buildings and restaurants food. A lot of people, bars, pools and plenty of space when you want a chair. Be prepare to pay for any extra you wish i.e. brand alcohol, shisha bar, a la carte menu etc. Bars on the family side of the complex did run out of beer really often. Found it special to be told that I could not walk or use the pool on the '"adult" side of the complex when myself is over 30 and that a different bracelet was required, again with extra cost...

Riu Dunamar: Could have been good....

The resort was Fully booked and from pool chairs to food services the hotel was not able to handle the amount of people in the resort. We have been to many RIU's and this is not what we were expecting. School breaks in the US and Britain had the resort crowded with families. Set our alarm at 630am to get a beach chair otherwise you were out of luck, as they literally could not find another chair for you! Empty serving dishes everywhere at the buffet for both breakfast and lunch every day for [... read more] 5 days until the crowds diminished. Waiting 2 hours in line for a la cartes then another 2 hours to be served - terrible. Employees are amazing, they worked hard in every aspect of service but just not enough of them for the amount of people in the resort. Clean, followed COVID precautions, great facility. Just wished we had picked a different week, for the money we spent it was a great disappointment!! Based on our experience the week of 2-9 April, 2022 I would not recommend as you are not getting full services you paid good money for...We are very seasoned travellers, at least twice a year to Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Caribbean every year for 20 years........
