Ocean Riviera Paradise: Very good resort

We spend many many days at the resort, it had various pools for families, kids and adults only too. The dinning was very accessible, lots of nice Canadians also stayed there. The rooms are very clean and the service is regular. Lots of activities to keep busy and themed evening entertainment was good too. The resort is ideally located near lots of activities in and around the Riviera Maya. The beach had rock along the coastline and the “updates” are a bit much. The noise at the children’s [... read more] pool was very loud, pay the upgrade and go to the adults section.

Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres: Beautiful Resort but...

My husband and I stayed at the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary from December 30-January 9, 2019. We were somewhat disappointed that our only option for our anniversary dinner(which actually was December 31) was the buffet! The hotel did not let us book any other restaurant because it was New Years Eve and those reservations were given priority to TRS(adult only side),Family Selection and Palladium Travel Club. They knew it was our 20th anniversary, yet th [... read more]ey did not do anything extra to make our day special. On top of that, we got swarmed by the Travel Club employees and convinced to take a tour and sit through a presentation on the morning of our anniversary! We were also promised things for attending the presentation that we were never given. What a waste of time! We were promised a couple of nights in the TRS side or at a minimum, changing our bracelets so that we could access the TRS facilities during our stay. Never happened. Although the resort is beautiful, it does not have an adult only pool available on the Grand Palladium side. There are too many levels of privilege there. At the beach we were all crammed into one section while the TRS and Travel Club and Family Selection had there own roped off section which was usually less that half full. Although our room was well appointed, there were a few things...it had a beautiful tub but the water going into it was luke warm at best. ☹️ The shower was awesome! Very large and an abundance of hot water! 😊 The beds looked way more comfortable then they actually were. ☹️ I like that they had carpet in the halls on each floor to reduce the noise of other guests coming and going. 😊 The large pool was nice but often there was music/bands playing at the same time which was very irritating particularly when you’re trying to enjoy a good book! ☹️ Daniel the waiter at the pool was amazing!😁 as well as Juan at the Indian restaurant!😁 It is a very large resort so be prepared to do a lot of walking! There are carts to drive guests but not always available when you are. We didn’t mind the walking. There are also boat taxis there too!😊 We went to the a la cart restaurants every night(except our anniversary of course☹️) without a reservation and had no trouble getting a table. The longest wait was 30 minutes. All were very good. We did the Italian, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Steak House and Indian. The last two we went to more than once. 😀 We stayed in building 15 on the top floor. Room 15405. Nice view except for the construction! ☹️ If you ask for an even number you will face the pool. By the way, you don’t have to return a towel to get a new towel there for the pools/beach. Unfortunately the down side is guests just leave them on there chairs which maks it difficult when you are looking for a place to sit by the pool/beach. Hint: If there are no personal belongings with those towels on the chairs, it’s available! If we were ever to go back to this hotel, we would only go to the TRS side.

Moon Palace The Grand Cancun: Something for Everyone

Large resort with excellent service , a variety of restaurants, bars , beautiful pools, a large sandy beach and activities for all ages. 10 minutes from Cancún airport, easy checkin ,room was spacious , beds comfy but only double so small . I would recommend this resort for families and adults alike - something for everyone , you won’t be disappointed

Royal Solaris: Great resort

Hotel was great rooms were well kept and clean. It's a resort full of kids though so if your going to relax and a break from kids your not going to get it. The pool very ice cold, not sure if it's because we went in January.

Allegro Cozumel: Well Worth the Value!

Positives: Perfect sized resort, less than 5 min walk from Main lobby to beach; Grounds, pools, amenities were in excellent shape (no cracked pool tiles) Kids pool area was loved by our kids and kept them very busy; Drinks were excellent, a lot of premium brands and made well; Staff was great,very friendly and majority of them spoke English; Beach was awesome (a little seaweed) the volleyball court was front and center with a lot of activity; The entertainment staff was great around the pool;  [... read more]the food demonstrations at the pool were excellent; The dive shop was very professional and excellent to deal with; diving from this location was very good and sites were close by; Rooms were clean and updated, Beds were very comfortable; Evening Entertainment was great, something different and professional every night; Kids club was located in an excellent location; Food overall was good but could use some improvement, Japanese was excellent, Italian was not. Negatives: Rooms were tight for 4 people; 2nd floor rooms leak in heavy rain; rooms were noisy from people outside; Hot water in room was hit and miss - more miss; Kids club was an excellent facility but needs to have more engagement and scheduled activities; Times between when the buffet was closed there was no real place to get good food (sports bar food was crap); Having to book Restaurants; The biggest negative I found was you could only book 2 a la carte restaurants within one 7 day stay - dumb.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: This resort has it all - best beach, amazing staff, fantastic guests, plenty to do, clean spaces and healthy food

Excellent variety of restaurants, bars and pools. We enjoyed the nice mix of Canadian and Mexican both very polite and respectable people. I suggest you expand you wifi and upgrade your bicycles. don’t charge for the safety box in the rooms.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Excellent rapport qualité-prix!

Cet hôtel est très bien entretenu, l'aménagement paysager est fort agréable et la nourriture proposée est à la fois très diversifiée et appétissante. Nous y séjournerions à nouveau sans hésiter. Le piano bar ne devrait pas servir au karioke.Chaque hôtel doit avoir au moins un petit coin tranquille et chaleureux pour les conversations en soirée.

Posada Real Los Cabos: Friendly environment

Nice , cozy resort with authentic cousine and friendly stuff. Small destination, not overcrowded. Beautiful beaches , close to hotel. Rooms are a bit old but clean and equal to price. Very affordable vacation.

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: Fantastic resort for adults or families!

I've had the opportunity to experience a number of different all inclusive brands in different locations and nothing really comes close to Paradisus La Esmeralda. Everything from the rooms to the service to the food and entertainment were all first class and unique to anything I had previously seen at an all inclusive resort. Food Most people anticipate the food will not be anything to write home about at an all inclusive but arguably the restaurants are the most impressive things abo [... read more]ut this resort. Bana and Mole were certainly our favourites but there was something for everyone and the decor and service were second to none. Beach The beach certainly isn't what you come to this resort for - there are definitely issues with seaweed and the accompanying smell. However, the service on the beach was fantastic. Our chairs were always set up to our liking and food and drink delivered directly to our seats. Pools Pretty standard fare. We spent most of our time at the La Perla adults only pool but the pool bar was adequate for our needs, there were always plenty of seats and the food from the pool grill was surprisingly good Rooms The rooms at this resort could be compared against any major chain or even boutique hotel in a major city. The amenities were fantastic and the room service was out of this world Entertainment Rather than the standard bandshell entertainment, there were a lot of live bands and other events taking place that felt unique to the resort. Live band karaoke, the Frankie Valli cover band, and casino nights were definitely highlights YHI Spa The spa is amazing. Get there early to make use of the hydromassage pools. The deep tissue massage was one of the best massages I've ever received Decor The entire resort feels like a New York City hotel dropped in a tropical paradise. The decor was tasteful and eye catching. Everything has been carefully considered, right down to the lighting near the pools in the evening I cannot recommend this hotel enough. I can guarantee you it's an experience you will not soon forget and will make going to any other resort very difficult after setting the bar that high.

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Breathless Cabo San Lucas - Great location, great view, average food

Breathless has a terrific location right on the marina with an amazing view of the boats and the ocean, it is also on a swimmable beach which was really good (many/most beaches are not swimmable in Cabo). There are 2 pools at Breathless both of which are very nice. One pool is more of a relaxation pool with a great view of the marina and no loud music playing. The other pool is a party pool with a really good DJ and a nice view of the ocean. There is also an online live CAM at the party pool  [... read more]that can be seen here: https://www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/mexico/baja-california-sur/cabo-san-lucas/cabo-san-lucas.html The room was very nice and clean with a really comfortable bed, plenty of amenities that were replaced multiple times a day. The bar fridge contained sodas, water and Corona's. The view of the marina was also terrific from the balcony. The quality of the shampoo/body wash/conditioner etc was very good. The restaurants at Breathless were good but IMO are a step behind the other Secrets and Karisma chain resorts I have been to. If food is a top priority for you, I would choose Secrets Puerto Los Cabos over Breathless for this reason alone. Room service was really good and came delivered as ordered each time. The areas directly outside Breathless felt very safe and walkable any time during the day or evening. The nightly entertainment is top notch with plenty of skilled dancers, singers and entertainers. All in all Breathless is a very nice "party" resort with a great marina/beach view in a great location. I recommend it to those who like to enjoy drinks and sun by the pool all day in a good party atmosphere. For those who demand the best food and are looking for a "quieter" vacation, I would perhaps look at Secrets Puerto Los Cabos instead. TandD

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Second time and will come back again!

This was our second time visiting the Luxury Bahia Princepe Akumal. The staff are amazing and so very friendly. The buffet's are actually GOOD and the a la carte's are a great experience. The beach is very well kept and it's great to be able to access the other resorts. We visited with our 2 year old and he loved it! We'll be back.

Riu Palace Baja California: Great resort!

A newer resort...some kinks still to be worked out (your floor depends on which elevator you take!). Staff mean well and try hard but need to let guests pass first (they usually barge through but not in a rude way if that makes any sense). Food was of very good quality. Rooms were clean, modern and bright. Numerous pools to lay beside. A short taxi ride to town. I would stay there again! Thank you Gina for a great recommendation :)

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Beautiful Resort!

Just returned home from a stay at the Barcelo Maya Grand Resort. Everything was amazing. Well kept grounds, wonderful food, incredibly friendly staff and I could go on and on about how amazing everything was. The best thing about it was how accessible it was for the lady we traveled with who is in a wheelchair. This is the first resort I can definitely say we will be returning to.

Sunscape Dorado Pacifico: Complete

We’ve travelled thru different parts of Mexico and find the combination of perfect beach and waves, friendly staff, food, good for a all inclusive, proximity to two towns that are full of life made this our favourite hotel You almost don’t want to give a good review to keep this area a secret

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Amazing Family Vacation

From beginning to end this trip was amazing! Staff are friendly and very accommodating to whatever we needed. The grounds are very clean and well maintained. Rooms are always swept and kept clean with fresh towels.....even slippers and a robe! Our kids ( ages 2 & 4) had an absolute blast. The waterparks are close to the rooms and everything else ( buffet, mall, market, a la cartes)- I didnt have to separate from the fun adult group we were travelling with regarding waterpark, pool and beach- Per [... read more]fect proximity to everything. Bars always seemed to be close with no wait times. Highly recommend Barcelo Colonial. We will be back soon!!

Barcelo Maya Palace: Something for everyone

We stayed here around 12 years ago and we wanted to return to relive some memories. We stayed at the Palace in a Premium room. The service overall was friendly. Breakfast service is spotty but not unusual for all inclusives in Mexico. Getting your coffee how you ask or even at all is 50/50 at the most. Luckily you can serve yourselves at the multiple coffee machines in the buffet area. The outdoor seating for breakfast is very nice. The resort is humongous, 11 a la cartes which all seem v [... read more]ery good, multiple buffets and multiple beach grills. Beach chairs are new and very numerous. The pools are multiple and huge. Lots of hammacks Great snorkeling on site with friendly fishes and turtles. We will likely return. The numerous kid waterparks are calling for our kids to come next time.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Restful stay

Dreams is a nice small resort with everything very handy. Rooms are decent size however beds a bit hard. Great beach and lovely pool. Never a problem getting chairs and staff are great. For a five star resort we expected more from the food. Terrible buffet with limited choices. Other 5star (and less) have carvery stations while Dreams simply had carved meat (and scarce at that) under hot lights. Disappointing. Breakfast at beach was by far the best meal, and lunch at beach was good as well. [... read more] A few of the restaurants were good but the majority was never quite hot. For this reason I would not go back. Entertainment was limited as well. For these reasons I give it only a 4 star.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very good things here - and some not so good.........

Rooms are quite nice and very clean; very old, and very high lampshades makes for little light !! Good, clean beaches, very good pools, very good entertainment. Food: Breakfast has everything and very good. Lunch and Dinner system not so; Poor quality, same stuff (re-filled and mixed) not appetizing......... ( can get sick ) and did !

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Great Food, Rocky Water

Restaurants were all great, with a wide variety of a la cartes available. Beach was weedy during our stay, but there's no control over that. The water was rocky, unfortunately, with no good spots to go in the ocean. The pools were very nice, and there were a lot of good activities available on the resort, including archery and air rifles. There are also a large number of animals wandering the resort, including at least two families of cats when we were there. The green spaces between the haciend [... read more]as and the lobbies were nice to walk through, but there are shuttles available if you want to use them. Rooms are fine but nothing special - they're not something I look for in a resort, however, so they had no real impact on me. The bed was a bit hard. Resort is close to Akumal (15 mins: snorkeling, swimming with turtles), Tulum (30 mins: archaeological site, nice beach), and Playa Del Carmen (30 mins: nightlife, shopping).

NYX Hotel Cancun: Disappointed

The beach was beautiful however the hotel was very disappointing. The music coming from the lobby in the evenings could be heard in our room. The gym was not at all what was portrayed on the website. The front desk and management were blasé about listening to our concerns and seeing if we could use another hotel gym.
