Barcelo Maya Caribe: Beautiful resort

This resort is very well maintained and spotless. We stayed at the Caribe resort. No problem getting a spot at the pool so you do not have to worry about putting towels on the chair. Be prepared to walk as there are 5 resorts on the site. We stayed in a Premium room which had two couches in the room and a hot tub on our balcony. The shower had a rain forest and hand held shower heads. The Spanish a la carte was very disappointing. Husband ordered his steak medium well and it was raw...heard the  [... read more]same complaints from other guests. Japanese and Italian a la cartes were amazing. Buffet was always good as well. Drinks are plentiful and beach is beautiful. No problem getting chairs there either. Lots of activities around the pool and free access to kayaks, catamarans, water tricycles.

Azul Ixtapa Grand Resort: Loved this place!

This was my 10th trip to Mexico. Needless to say, I love the country! The people, the history, the food, the weather - can't be beat. But the staff of the Azul Ixtapa Grand were wonderful! They always greeted me with a smile even when I tried to speak with them in my limited Spanish. The hotel is beautiful and meticulously maintained. Lots of choices for food but if you like Mexican fare, you'll love this spot.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

Can't think of one aspect of this resort that we didn't like. Everything was great. Very well maintained and beautiful resort. Loved that we could eat and play at all 4 resorts. Resort is great for couples and families.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort

We would definitely recommend this resort. The staff couldn't do more for us. When our flight was delayed, they made up a nice plate for us and was waiting in our room when we arrived. We had alacartes every night and had no line ups. The food was amazing along with the buffets. Our room was nice and modern. The beach is beautiful and clean. No plastic cups laying around. Entertainment was very good day and night. Always keeping people active. We love this resort so much that we'll b [... read more]e bringing our family with us next year. Thank you Riu Jalisco for a trip we'll never forget.

Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa: Great resort

We arrive early and rooms usually aren’t ready until 3pm, by the time we ate they had our room ready before 3pm which was nice. Great service from start to finish, resort was clean and well kept, Crews worked hard to keep the beach clean. Food was very good too, the only thing is they could use more beach loungers.

Azul Ixtapa Resort: Beautiful

This hotel is not only beautiful but the people are so friendly and hard working the place is so clean and food amazing never cold cooked perfect the only problem was no coffee pots by beach in morning I love having coffee by beach in morning

Riu Emerald Bay: Awesome resort

We had a awesome time at this resort, and the people that work there are amazing, so friendly and certainly accommodating . It was s blast and we certainly recommend this hotel to everyone. Located close to shopping and some great restaurants adds to this resort! Looking for a great getaway for a great cost this is the one for you, our second time there and we seen the improvements since we were last there. The sports and entertainment group is the best, thanks for the fantastic vacation !

Riu Emerald Bay: Convenient, easy vacation

RIU had everything for a simple and smooth vacation. Right on the beach. Nice pools. Plenty of loungers. Restaurants and bars were handy to the pool and beach areas. Waiter service was a bit hit and miss, but that was a minor irritation.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Loved it!

Great food, mostly awesome staff, plenty to do (provided you're ok with a shuttle to the beach or the night club). I would absolutely go here again! Live entertainment happen Ed every night with the animation staff being interactive and fun! Hotel was very clean and the grounds were beautiful!!

Riu Vallarta: good resort

Small resort. Overall things are clean and nice and comfortable. Room was clean . kinda old. door lock was old style key, not smart badge.a bit challenging to open the door. Mattresses are ok , not so comfy though. delicious foods but repetitive. night entertainments ok , not so interesting. Beach was nice. but NO shades at the beach!!? only some palm trees here n there. so we were chasing the shades all the time .lol

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Great experience!

This resort exceeded our expectations. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Royal Service option is a must! The private pool in the Royal Service location is beautiful. Never any problems finding lounge chairs around the pool or the beach. Shout out to Alfredo, Hector and Cristina at the Royal Service pool bar and Elias & Daniel at the pool concierge. The staff throughout the resort are amazing! We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and enjoyed all of the a la carte re [... read more]staurants especially Mole (thanks Mario Peralta), Bana and Lapalapa.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Great spot but...

This was the third time at Sheraton Buganvillias for us and we were a little disappointed this time. All the renos are amazing, the rooms, the restaurants and the Starbucks in the lobby. The staff is great as always but the food this year was not great. We were disappointed in the a la cart restaurants the most, the food was adequate at best and never hot. At the breakfast buffet there was never bacon and we found out you had to ask for it. Why?? Our favorite part of this resort is the pool but  [... read more]this year the water was so warm you could never get cooled off. We will think twice about coming back again.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Great Location

This hotel is very nice, the meals were good, the rooms clean, the staff excellent. Nice pool area and great views and location. The rooms are very dated and the beds very hard, but they are updating the hotel so hopefully they update the rooms soon.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico: 5 stars

Traveled Jan 14 for 4 nights, regretted not booking longer as 4 nights was not long enough to experience all there was to offer. Truly an amazing property! Food was great! Love the heated pool! The scenery was just breath taking. Would defiantly come back.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Excellent location!

The hotel is dated, but they are working on upgrades. The lobby, dining rooms and pools appear new. It appears they are working through the floors gradually. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is superb. The food was okay. At times it wasn't hot. At lunch and supper there was always a pork, beef, chicken and fish dish. Steamed veggies at every meal. Not once was there any guacamole or fresh salsa - something that I was looking forward too. Many of the guests were repeater [... read more]s. Once lady was their for her 11th year. Good value for the money. Most likely I would return.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great vacation!

We've just came back home from Grand bahia principe Coba (Jan 11-18, 2019). We are a family of four : 2 adults + 2 kids ( 6 and 8 y.o.). The whole family loved the hotel and will definitely come back again ( though I'm the person who prefers not to go to the same hotel twice). The hotel is huge. It's so large that you have to take the shuttles ( trains/electro cars) to get to the spot you need. All of us were so much entertained with this rides that we really loved doing that. We resided at Gr [... read more]and Bahia principe Coba but we were allowed to use all of the facilities of Grand Bahia principe Tulum as well. And vice versa, the residents of GBP Tulum attended any of Coba's restaurants,  bars, night shows, kids water park etc. So it actually means that when booking a trip to GBP Coba you get the better option having access to another big neighboring hotel and its facilities. The hotel grounds are gorgeous! Everything is blossoming and tidy. Lots of animals ( iguanas,  capybaras, raccoons, birds). The staff of the hotel is very helpful and friendly.  Everything is so perfectly organized ( events, or cleaning, or repairs, or gardening). You just see the result! The main buffet in GBP Coba is excellent! Such a great variety of meat, vegies,  condiments,  seafood! There is always something for your taste! The advantage of GBP Coba is its aquazone for kids. So most of the tourists with kids are concentrated there. Personally we preferred to go to the GBP Tulum as it had the beach area. Big pools everywhere,  but like I said we went to the sea. The beach is not the best one, but provided with lounge chairs, shade, bar and they constantly clean it from the weeds. So you can always find a spot for you there. The water is clear, the bottom is with stones in places, but there are also clean sandy areas and I had no problems stepping in. I attended a balloon party in Hacienda and then went to a disco there. Hacienda is the area (close to GBP Tulum lobby) with all of the souvenir shops,  disco, bars, casino, doctors office, pharmacy. The night shows were good. The kids mini disco was average. We resided in block 24 B. Our room #32422 (2nd floor) was good, always cleaned ( pics attached), everything was in a working condition, but I think it was always too humid in it. All of my clothes are wet by touch and my hair was always curly when I was in a room. The overall experience was great! It's one of the best trips ever ( I travel a lot). Will definitely recommend this hotel and will come back again if I have this option.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Good resort

Resort was nice. Food was good, buffets generally had the same things, but you could always find something good to eat. À la carte restaurants were very good. Maintenance of the building could be better, parts of the ceiling in one of the main areas was falling down after raining. Overall, for the price everything was good.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: A family affair

Hotel had a lot to offer everyone in our group, from 5 years old to 75 years young. Food was consistently good, pool was beautiful and beach location exquisite. Larger resort than we have previously experienced so less of a community feel among guests and staff. But overall, the evening shows were breath taking and the experience was a good one.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Absolutely Amazing Resort!

Our travel agent, Karol Chareza has been telling us about this amazing resort and how awesome it is for years. We finally got to see it for ourselves. My family and I stayed at the Barceló Maya Palace for 10 days in January 2019. It was everything my family and I expected and more. The rooms were spacious and very clean. We had fresh towels each day and the in room bar fridge was stocked daily with drinks and snacks. The food at the La carts, was amazing and there was always somethi [... read more]ng for each of us that we really enjoyed. The buffet's had so many options to choose from. We never went hungry! The PEOPLE that work at this resort are over the top amazing. Very happy to help and always greeting you with a smile. We ate at the Marenostrum were we met two terrific guys, Mario and Antonio. They were the best. They made us a Mayan Coffee. What a show that was and the coffee tasted amazing! We also met Nelson at the Brasserier. He takes service to a whole new level. He made sure we were enjoying the food, drinks and atmosphere. He took the time to talk with us and gave us tips about the report so we didn't miss out on the events around the resort. These are just a few guys that helped to make this trip more amazing. All the employees were over the top amazing! We really enjoyed the beach. The sea turtle were right there and we swam with them each day and really enjoyed feeding them bananas. The pools were a tad on the cold side, so we mostly hung out at the beach. We enjoyed every minute. We also swam with the Dolphins that were right there at the resort. Very convenient. We did a day tour to Cozumel. Booking this trip was seamless. The resort travel group took care of everything. We were picked up and dropped off on time. This resort had everything you needed. There was a mall on site, a bowling ally, lost of shops around to purchase any souvenirs and you did not have to walk far to get to everything. There was a bus that went to each resort all day so you could get around very quickly. This was my family's fist tropical trip together and we are already planning to return. It was so much fun and we would recommend this resort to all our friends. Thank you Karol for helping us set up this amazing trip. You always know how to send us to the best places. :)

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Come with me to La Penita

On January 1, 2019, my husband and I checked into our all-inclusive hotel chosen for us by our travel agent , Felicia Grasso from tripcentral.ca.. Neither of us had been on a tropical vacation since the mid-1980's and we were overwhelmed by the options and information we found on the internet. I called tripcentral.ca and spoke with Felicia Grasso and communicated what we wanted and needed as well as our time frame and budget. She confidently said 'leave it with me and I will get back to you be [... read more]fore 7pm tonight' which was in less than 4 hours. She called back in good time with our itinerary including preferences as well as suggestions she had made on our behalf - and by 7pm we were booked and paid for. Fast forward to one week post return and both my husband and I can say it couldn't have been a more perfectly wonderful vacation or destination. It was my desire to visit La Penita where my mother had often stayed when she was living and I wanted to experience what had drawn her there but only knew the name of the town and was ignorant of its whereabouts. Both my husband and I were concerned about our health and well-being while traveling to unknown territory and it turned out that Felicia's recommendations and suggestions were ideal. We stayed at The Hotel Descameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guiyabidas, an oceanside all-inclusive resort near enough to La Penita that we could either cycle or taxi there from our hotel in less than 20 minutes. As well as cycling, we enjoyed daily walks and swimming, resting and sleeping, eating, reading, dancing, exploring, snorkeling, boating, hiking, shopping, and making friends wherever we went either at the hotel or out and about. The atmosphere, the ethos of the community within both the hotel as well as in the townships of Guayabidas and La Penita was warm and welcoming and felt safe. The hotel was incredibly well managed and staffed. My husband and I both commented several times that it operated like a well-oiled machine 24 hours a day and met all our physical needs beyond either of our expectations as well as offering a variety of entertainment and services besides the impeccable maintenance of our rooms. The staff were excellent and so very kind, gracious and helpful. Drinkable water was always available and we were made to feel at home and welcome at all times, day or night. We fully intend to return and have enjoyed sharing our amazing adventure with our friends and family. We highly recommend Felicia's services via tripcentral.ca and not only thank her for the trip of a lifetime, but fully intend to book with her again.
