Riu Emerald Bay: Love this resort

We just returned from our 5th visit to riu emerald bay. This is the only resort we have gone to more than once and we travel at least 2 times a year. As all other times every thing was great. This resort is all Ocean view rooms and one of the cleanest places we have ever been to. We love the riu resorts because the food is always good. You can always find something to eat and enjoy. Where ever you look there is someone cleaning nothing is missed on the cleaning list. The staff is always friendly [... read more] and helpful. The riu emerald bay is located in a great area, close enough to take a cab or a bus into the golden zone or the old town to see some of the history of Mazatlan or to shop. We will definitely be returning hopefully soon.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya

Location is convenient, 25 min from airport Grounds immaculate No bracelets, and unlimited restaurant dining without reservations Food and drinks very good Main pool and quiet lazy river pool amazing Beach well maintained daily to remove seaweed. Don Miguel's bar a must with the dry ice martinis Rooms clean and well appointed with wifi speakers in ceiling. Mini bar well stocked and even had chips. Adults only resort Overall excellent and would return

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Relaxing!

Awesome food, drinks, staff and location. Not too far from the airport. Shuttles were on time, easy check in. Everyone was helpful. Clean grounds, nice rooms. Beers were cold, rums were strong. All you need.

Grand Sunset Princess: Very Good Resort

The buildings and grounds were very clean and well maintained. We found the staff to be very friendly and courteous at all times. The food in all restaurants was very good. The Entertainment throughout the week was excellent.

Reef Club Playacar Beach: VERY GOOD TIME

This hotel was just great. We loved the size(not huge) and the fact that the front desk Rosa gave us a room close to the pool/beach. The room was small for 3 people and we had no hot water in shower for 3 days, also with no pressure. They made the water a bit warmer. My girls could not wash their hair for a few days. Because of high capacity of guests moving our room did not happen. Every thing else was fine. The food was amazing, pools nice temperature, ocean very lovely, sandy bottom is a pl [... read more]us plus. Staff was super good to us. May help to have 2 gorgeous, friendly daughters, but not sure!!! The walk on beach to town was alot more than 15 minutes, I'd say more like half an hour and on sand a bit more difficult. Even so, we did that twice. Then took a cab next time for $6. and about 5 minute drive if that. Downtown is so different now with all the big box stores, but mixed with the old it was kind of neat. Thanks for your help Maria. We would have liked the extra Valet park n fly coupon they told us we could have received at booking. We felt for $1500 each we should have had hot water. We stayed happy all week even still. The weather could not have been better. Rio Secreto we LOVED, also Coba adventure was very good. Sandy and daughters.

Riu Flamingos: Wonderful place

The hotel not bad ,when we book in Tripp central they told us we don't need to reserve for fine dining restaurant but we went toItalian restaurant ,and the hostess told us we wait for an hour in order for s to eat but it looks like we need to reserve earlier In. order for us to eat.We are so hungry so we go to steak restaurant and its close again we try the Chinese also close we end up eating in the buffet.Ivan the manager of the restaurant is very helpful he resolve our problem .the next  [... read more]day he sure we can try the Italian restaurant and the Steak restaurant too .we stayed at Iberostar in Cancun couple of times with the family but the Riu Jalisco is one of our favorite we definitlely go back because of the best atmosphere and the employee very polite especially Ivan and Barbara the waitress in buffet .

Las Palmas by the Sea: FUN RESORT!

Las Palmas by the Sea in Puerto Vallarta would be classified as a 2 or 3 star. It is very old with no apparent updates and the hallways echo a lot of noise. However, it is remarkably clean, very authentic Mexican style and the staff are amazing. The pools and hot tub are great and well kept. It is not the cleanest ocean area I have seen but you could still sit in the loungers on the beach and swim when the waves aren't too strong. Great place for meeting people and going on excursions as it [... read more] is a 15 minute bus ride or a quick and inexpensive taxi ride to downtown Puerto Vallarta and 1 to 2 hours from any other town you might like to explore. Also close to airport, marinas, malls, casinos, etc. There was plenty of food but I had mixed feelings about it. No nachos, guacamole or salsa and a lot of authentic family foods that I didn't really like. However, there is a hot dog, hamburger and fries stand open all day. I would go back again but I would see if I could afford a 4 or 5 star resort first.

Grand Oasis Palm: 5 stars, not so sure

You canno do reservations in advance for a la carte dinner and have to do line ups the same day to reserve a spot, if lucky ! You have to wait in line for a table and then line up for buffet .... not a good experience waiting that much to have a meal during vacations. Accommodations are good for a 5 stars hotel.

Crown Paradise Golden: Great resort

The resort was clean, on the beach, food was good, staff was friendly, and lots to keep you busy. We enjoyed our stay and would love to go back. We could easily access a taxi from the hotel to any destination for a reasonable price. We enjoyed the privacy of the adults only. The spa was wonderful but a little pricey.

Excellence Playa Mujeres: Yet another wonderful trip at this resort!

This is my second time staying at Excellence Playa Mujeres. I went last year on a mother daughter trip and we had an amazing time. This year I came with my boyfriend and he was absolutely blown away by how great everything was. Wonderful rooms (particularly love the shower and the jacuzzi), can't go wrong with a soothing turn down service either. Immaculate grounds and pools- I like how the pools are refreshing. Great food, loved having the fresh pizza's on the beach, highly recommend the Italia [... read more]n, French and Indian restaurants. Surprisingly good bloody caesars! I wish we could go back tomorrow!

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Phenomenal Resort

We liked everything about this resort, great location, staff was excellent, food was awesome, lots of things to do, spa was amazing, rooms were clean and up to date. We would definitely go back, and hopefully will soon.

El Dorado Royale: Not bad, not perfect

The hotel is great. The service is also great but the beach is the worst thing for this hotel. Also, we got there for the food (apparently) it was a great place for the food - Culinary experience. Well, I'm not saying it wasn't good but not much restaurant where we could say WOW WOW WOW ! So the culinary experience is what I would called an ordinary food experience. To finish, another thing that is not great is the fact that you keep waiting for the restaurant all the time. Because there is no r [... read more]eservation, unless you want to eat at 6H, you will wait form 30 to 90 min depending of the restaurant and the time.

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun: Activities Galore.

The beach is the nicest we have seen in Mexico and the hotel went over and above to deal with the seaweed. Hotel is awesome. Some furniture was dated but clean. Activities staff were always doing something and the wifi schedule and printed schedule allowed you to plan your days. No reservations at the a la cartes was positive, never a line up. Food was excellent. Management planned meal time entertainment several times and had a good variety of entertainment for everyone. Just little things [... read more] like Saxaphone player in the pool in the afternoon and another at breakfast. Bike tours, etc. Awesome week. Only negative was the fight for pool floaties. For such a small item resort should just buy more.

Allegro Cozumel: Good reasort

Grounds are very clean and so are the rooms food was very repetitive wish there was more options.they need new cups most where cracked and needed replacement. Staff was quick maid was amazing.people who work in the front desk and buffets/ala carts need to speak better english.pools where clean beach was OK hated that there where cigarettes all over the sand made it hard to have our toddlers playing we had to always sit them in towels.

Riu Flamingos: Great vacay with teens, I KNOW!

Taking two 16 year old boys with us to the RIU I was a little unsure that there would be enough for them to do but Nicole’s suggestion of this hotel was the right one. I was considering another hotel but she thought this one would be better for us. She was so right! The boys had a blast playing beach volleyball, waterpolo, boogie boarding and hanging with other kids they met through the week. The food was really good at the buffet and it changed daily. I mean it’s not gourmet but for  [... read more]a buffet and the crowd it has a lot of variety so everyone could find something they liked. We did not get the rooms we requested but one call and they made it right. We also had air conditioner issues but the hotel fixed it promptly. Rooms are average looking but very clean and fairly well maintained. The only thing I truly hated was the bedding. They use a protective mattress cover that is so plastic that you feel like you are in a toddlers bed and it makes for a very sweaty and uncomfortable sleep. We stayed during spring break so it was very busy and you had to get up early to get a good spot at the pool but there were also spots on the beach. Kudos to the bar staff who work so hard, as well as the restaurant staff and housekeeping, all staff were excellent at the RIU. The lineup at the Sunwing airport check in at Yyc was horrendous and took almost an hour to get through. Surprisingly the checking in Puerto Vallarta for the flight home was only ten minutes, so very efficient. The flights were pretty good for a charter and I would probably use sunwing again. For sure I will use Tripcentral again and specifically Nicole DeForest as she really tried to recommend the best place for us and turned down a higher commission to find us the right place, Thanks Nicole!

Grand Oasis Palm: Great resort for families with young kids

hotel is great and perfect for kids - not your party resort amenities was a bit dated but not bad for the price we paid Don't overlook the baby club - there is a hidden area for younger kids need to venture out for shops and retails, but do create a quieter setting

Azul Ixtapa Resort: Great resort, fun time

Thanks to Sunwing for the Wednesday night dinner party. Staff are all very nice and friendly, most speak english, rooms, grounds always kept spotless. Food was good, wide selection Pools are nice and big, beach has perfect sand, not a stone on it, ocean waves are small, lots of activities to take part in. We would go back again for two weeks

Marina Fiesta Resort and Spa: Had a wonderful time at Marina Fiesta!

Awesome destination if you don't need beach time to enjoy Cabo. So cool to have your all inclusive access at the Golden Zone restaurants. Tons to enjoy in the whole marina area with all the shops, restaurants, and bars. Vendors are plenty but be polite and they are too. Must visit Cabo Wabo, Happy Endings, the malls and casino.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Great Family Resort

Exceptional specialty beaches for sports, relaxing and snorkeling. No shortage of lounges and chairs. Clean spacious rooms. Ours had a magnificent view of the beaches and bay. All of the restaurants had interesting selections and we were always served fresh,quality offerings. The staff were always friendly and helpful. Although English speaking abilities varied with the staff, there was no problem communicating and they always seemed to 'Do Their Best'. The elevation was challenging at times but [... read more] the shuttle services were usually available to save the day after a big dinner and drinks. Fantastic vacation from the Westjet flights each way to the daily enjoyment of the resort amenities. We will be returning with the entire family and grandchildren next year.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Lovely

Beautiful and manicured. So many pools and choice of food. Something for everyone. Most service is on par. Buffet service could be more consistent. Rooms are clean and serviced appropriately. Very large so you’ll want to take advantage of the golf carts Nd trolley when you get a chance.
