Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful Resort!
My husband and my 9 year old son really enjoyed our time at the resort. The place was grand and the customer service was fantastic. The drinks were amazing, I highly recommend the mojitos. We loved the size of the place and the variety of places to go, such as the variety of restaurants and the access to all spots inside the resort. The beach was a little rocky in places, but there was always chairs available on the beach. We went for our 11th anniversary, when we arrived in our room we received[... read more] a fruit plate and one bottle of tequila and one bottle of anise liquor. The rooms were quite big and well kept. The only complaint I had was the food. I was very disappointed in the food. They had a theme every night and one night was seafood night. They had a mountain of over cooked lobster. It was terrible. Some nights the food was better but the snack bars were usually hot dogs and fries. The restaurants we made reservations at were much better and the service was great.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Anazing resort?
My boyfriend and I had spent 7 days here at the Sian Ka’an Resort, and all I can say is it was a 7 days well spent!!! The food and service from all the workers was truly awesome, nothing but smiles on not only ours but everyone’s face’s. Not a single moment had we been disappointed, every minute, every bite, and every sip from our drinks was PARADISE. We had such a great time here we are already planning our second trip back to this resort!
I definitely recommend it to anyone and every[... read more]one.
Shuttle Cars every 10 minutes, to and from the beach/other parts of the resort. Live Performances at night, and it’s next to impossible to not have such an amazing time here.
The Animation Team here are honestly just a Bunch of Beauties, I hope to see you all our next time around come December. Organizing games by the pool and bringing us all into a group of loving and happy tourists!
Delmar, Diego, Edler, Ricardo, Julio, Gabby and Sadie... You guys really are genuine people and I would like to say our trip wouldn’t be the same without you guys. And I hope to see you all next time we are here!
These gentleman work so hard just to put smiles on everyone’s faces and all they want is for everyone to just have the time of their life.
My friends, it’s always hard to say goodbye... but instead I would like to say, until next time my amigos! You guys are awesome, never change, I’m sure we will see you soon!
Peace and Love,
Madeleine & Frankooooo!!!

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Beautiful resort
Everything about the resort was top notch and beautiful. The room was big and always made so clean my the workers. You can never get tired of the food at the main buffet, and there are many other restaurants around to keep things different. The staff is also very friendly. I recommend staying at the adults only section because there are always special events being held in the pool. Only disappointment was their poor selection of beers

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Beautiful Resort
We spent a week in late August in this resort. It's a very good size, not so huge that you need to walk 5-10 min to get from your room to the pools and not so small and cramped. Everything is very accessible. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. Food at the buffet restaurant is very good but can be a little more flavorful. They are constantly cleaning and maintaining the resort. Beach is very close and no shortage of chairs. There are some pool activities everyday. Public transportatio[... read more]n(bus) stops in front of the resort and takes you to the shopping center in 10-15 min. fare is $1.00 US. If you have Mexican Pesos is less. Buses are very frequent and safe. I recommend you to go to the mall in evening because it's an outdoor center and gets really hot in day time. They are open till 10:00 PM.All and all, I highly recommend this resort.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Friendly Staff
Good value for the money. Nice pools, but water was a bit too warm. Beach was beautiful, but not swimmable. Preferred the buffet to the alacarte restaurant. Food quality was inconsistent in the alacarte. We had a room on the east wing of the hotel. LOTS of stairs and walking to get to different parts of the resort, even though it is a small resort. If you have any mobility challenges at all, you will need to request a room on the ground floor on the west side of the building. Our travel companio[... read more]ns moved because one of them found the stairs and long hallways too challenging. Once moved, it was quite manageable for them. Loved the friendly and helpful staff. Bus service to Jose de Cabo was quick and easy. All in all, we had a very pleasant vacation staying at the Decameron.

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Fantastic beach
Dreams is a beautiful property situated on one of the nicest beaches on Banderasa Bay and Julio, our beach waiter, is one of the best waiters ever. Check in was smooth, but there were a couple of anomalies with our stay. We were in the Ocean View tower, but only one elevator was working, which meant long waits, luckily we were on the 3rd floor so we could use the stairs. We had really good food for the most part, but one day the Barefoot Grill and Oceana were both closed at lunch (somethng wron[... read more]g in the kitchen) so we went to the buffet. But the buffet was almost completely lacking in food - no taco station, no fresh veggies for the pasta station, no bread, no cold cuts - basically you could have a lettuce salad and pasta with plain sauce. Luckily the issue in the kitchen was resolved and we were able to get a hamburger form the Barefoot Grill. But, overall our vacation was fabulous and the food at Portofino was divine.
Our room was good, but I think its time they got rid of the jacuzzi tub on the deck and the giant bathtub in the room. Air conditioning worked great - which is always a plus. The staff we dealt with were all very helpful. All of the beach waiters were really good, never had to wait very long for a drink but our checkout was a bit of a trainwreck - only one clerk to check out way too many guests. But yes I would go back - mainly because the beach is so beautiful - soft golden sand, no rocks, gentle slope into the water so the waves weren't too powerful. Spent all our time on the beach and could always get a lounge chair under a palapa - rest, relax, read - take a dip in the ocean then into the pool to wash off the salt and back to the lounger. Doesn't get much better than that.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Overall good resort
First time in Mexico. August 14 to 19 for my Birthday.
Grounds, public areas and rooms are very nice. We tried 4 a la carte restaurants ( French, Mexican, Stake and Seafood) and all were good.
People, worker's on the resort are nice and cheerful.
The beach looks nice, but the ocean is full of seaweeds. The water is shallow and you have to walk through seaweeds, which is not pleasant. The weeds or algae are also coloring the water. Therefore, the colour is brownish .I am ocean lover. That be[... read more]ach is not for people that like ocean.
Pool : Very nice pools, pretty clean, but very crowded on a weekends as all guest are in the water and very few can go to the ocean and it was hot! hot! Pool water was hot as well. Also, I didn't like that people eat on the pool. The grounds around the pool look and get dirty , plus the birds and animals are coming for food.
Entertainment: Quite good during the day. Little disappointed how the show stage is plane, but the dancers were OK.
Management:My husband lost his band, as he ripped it of the pool walls ( you have to climb to exit, there are few steps only and far from the beach side and shade), and couldn't find it. We had to pay. I think that was not aright way to do it., They should take our explanation in the consideration.
Overall we had very nice time, as I was with my kids and husband for a big reason. I would recommend this resort partially. For food , stay and entertainment for example.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful resort on private beach.
Location, outside town is perfect for relaxing away from the hustle & bustle of tourists, but still close enough for easy access to down town by taxi. The trip takes only a few minutes and experiencing the local history and culture well worth the time. Taxi drivers are very friendly and helpful.
We took the evening sunset cruise from the Marina, loved the sail and views if the coastline, especially the mountains, then watched the sun set on the water-just lovely!
The resort is beautiful and we[... read more]ll maintained, five restaurants to choose from with good food choices, two right on the water.
All rooms face the ocean and offer beautiful sunset views. We loved being in the warm ocean and strolling the beautiful white sandy the beach. Wonderful attentive staff attend to all your needs. The adult only infinity pool was our choice for relaxing, but the two other pools were always lively for the fun loving active holidaymakers!
We were treated twice to turtles laying their eggs on the beach.
Overall a great vacation spot with lots of options to suit different personalities.

First impression when I got to the Princess is this resorts architecture is absolutely beautiful! We were welcomed with drinks and a big smile. Staff is very nice, some more than others. A go to person who helped us a LOT during this trip is Miguel. Bartenders are very fun, one in particular is Abdiel.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Totally awesome place to be!!
What a wonderful experience we had at Ocean Reviera Paradise. My two teenagers and myself enjoyed the experience so much that we definately want to return some day soon. Hopefully when there is no sea weed problem at the beach. :)
We felt safe and I found comfort in knowing how safe the place was as they enjoyed time with friends. There was always someone from the resort walking around. They seemed to be working around the clock. Employees were respectful, courtious, very helpful and it was [... read more]easy to see how hard they worked each day.
Seeing how long they worked in the hot sun, servicing everyone and to still manage their smile and have such energy made me have more respect for them.
Two thumbs up for the ALL the employees at Ocean Reviera Paradise!!
One thing that would be nice to see is a teenager night club. Where teenagers can go dance and have fun. Teenagers (ages 13 to 19 or even those just turning 20) want a place to go dance within the resort.
In the rooms there should be at least 2 blankets left in the room for those that want to be extra warm from the air condition. The shower floor in the rooms need to be looked at. The water seems to leak out while showering and sometimes flows outside the bathroom. I like that you added a scale in the rooms. It's good to know how much your luggage weighs after you purchase other things to bring home. "Or ourselves after we've eaten so much throughout the day" lol. And to not forget to say... The Food was Delicious!!! The chefs and cooks did such a wonderful job. "Five Stars"
It was great hearing English music throughout but it would be nice to hear More Mexican/Spanish music throughout as well. Even in the evenings. "I love Mexican songs" Besides... " We are in Mexico" Other then that.. the rooms are quite spacious, very clean and cozy. The balcony is very lovey and we loved the view overlooking the trees and spider monkeys.
The shows were amazing! Loved them all!! Your hard work paid off. And to all the host and entertainment crew... " You are all fabulous!!" Aqua swim, bingo, volleyball and all the water games and hostessing etc.. Thank you for such fun and great laughter. Till we see each other again :)
