Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Royal Decameron

Likes: Overall cleanliness of grounds and unit was good, food was generally good, staff were first class, nice pools with lots of sun chairs, seeing lots of iguanas Areas for improvement: overall “hot” dishes were routinely not hot in most of the onsite restaurants, room furnishings in need of updating - very tired!

Grand Oasis Cancun: Great resort

The hotel itself was fabulous. Our ocean view room in villa 3 was fantastic. Hot water was the only issue we had which was sometimes hard to get. Food was amazing we ate at the steakhouse for dinner every night. We really like the food court and had the tacos and happy chicken often for lunch. Drinks were good and was never an issue getting a beach lounge chair. Ocean was wavy but nice and blue and clear with white sand beaches.

Grand Oasis Sens: Amazing resort

Great resort, excellent service and the food was out of this world. I would highly recommend, but you need to book the Shan kaan package. You get royal treatment. It might be an older resort, but they are constantly upgrading and very clean.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Great Resort

The staff never stopped from morning to night cleaning, repairing and serving. The grounds were clean to perfection every morning. The room was a junior suite ocean view which allowed for a spectacular sunset and sunnup. While out for supper the bed was turned down and a towel origami left on the bed. Close enough to go on tours to ruins and other places. Will be returning soon for another visit. Thank you to Krista for a great recommendation.

Barcelo Huatulco: Great Vacation

This is a great hotel resort. Staff were wonderful and caring. Made sure all our needs were looked after. Unfortunately there was never enough beach loungers with shade. Seems one would have to get up at 6am and head to the beach in order to secure a shady area. Even placing portable Beach Umbrellas would work. Pool was very nice. We enjoyed the smaller resort atmosphere. Overall, great vacation.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Third time there!

We have loved our time there each time. They continue to improve the resort. The staff are great and always go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Love watching the whales and dolphins from the poolside. We will definitely keep this on our list to return.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: OK Resort

The hotel room was great, clean and very friendly cleaning staff. Was not up to the Palladium standards compared to the Riveria side of Mexico at the same hotel chain. Kinda disappointed with the food at the buffet most times cold and not a lot available. The restaurants rotate days they are open so if missed that day out of luck and very hard to book. Beach BBQ was by reservation and was terrible. Loud rock music playing, not enough food (no dessert left for 2nd sitting) Not a pleasant expe [... read more]rience.

Occidental Cozumel: Beautiful Resort

We were a little apprehensive when reading some of the reviews about the timeshare and the food, but found we didn't need to be. First off the timeshare people don't harass you, just say no and they will not bother you. The food was very good. You will not go hungry at all. We ate at the Seafood, Mediterranean and the Mexican ala cartes and they were all delicious. The buffet could be a bit better but we never went hungry. The beach is amazing and you can snorkel right out front of the resort, t [... read more]here is also bar service on the beach. The rooms are very nice, comfortable and clean with a large washroom, we never had an issue with water, towels or the cleaning staff. The fridge was restocked daily. The gardeners and cleaners all always busy. It really was a great stay and we would definitely go back. This is our 4th stay on Cozumel and this is the first resort that I have said I'd go back to. ALL the staff were super friendly and helpful. The only negative is there is no free Wi-Fi.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Great things and not so great things!

We loved the resort in general as it is not your typical cookie cutter resort. All of the stair had the calf muscles screaming for a few days but by the end of the week they were fine. The beach was very clean and water temperature was warm. The rooms were clean but very dark. The lighting was task lighting at best. Room was spacious and our room 2107 overlooked the ocean. Had to climb down about 15 steps to get to it. Had a daily iguana visitor which was nice. The thing that was less than great [... read more] was the buffet restaurant. It was very hit and miss though we didn’t go hungry. Just need to have low standards. Lots of food was cool/cold with varying quality. The Mexican restaurant overlooked the bay and was a nice place for breakfast. The restaurants open late at 7:00pm for dinner which is late when you have a 4-year old with you. The Mexican restaurant opens at 6:30. The kids club didn’t look great so we never used it.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Amaizing resort!

We’ve been in this resort the second time and we are satisfied with service, quality of food and ground activities. Here comfortable for any age. Staff is very friendly and willing to solve any problems which may happened. So, we were happy with our 14th days vacation.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: “Хороший бюджетный вариант”

Соотношение цена-качество просто идеально. Убирают регулярно, персонал отзывчив и мил. Стараются помочь по мере возможности, все наши просьбы и вопросы без внимания не оставили. Питание приличное, причем меняют понедельно, есть набор блюд изо дня в день (сосиски, сыр, омле [... read more]Ñ‚, яичница, йогурты и Ñ‚.д.), есть неплохие вегетарианские блюда типа темпуры, шпината, в некоторые дни предлагают разные виды риса, мяса, супов. Голодным остаться трудно, изысков особых нет, например из сыра предлагался только один вариант. Но с другой стороны и стоимость отеля совсем не запредельная. в январе поменяли все матрасы в старом корпусе.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda

Overall the resort is very good. Clean, tidy and generally well kept. The staff are very friendly and helpful. More attention and expedience could be spent on maintenance. For example the one elevator was out of order all the time we were there as was the only ice machine on our floor. The day we arrived we reported that a face plate had fallen off an electrical outlet and that the rod to close the drapes was not actually connected to the drapes, These minor items were not fixed during our stay. [... read more] On our last night we were denied the opportunity to reserve for dinner at one of the on site restaurants we were told that we had only the choice to use the buffet or go to a "special BBQ" for Air transat passengers which they called a promo for "long term accommodation" ( read time share). We do not care for BBQs but they would not budge. The resort blamed Air transat and the air transit rep blamed to resort.

El Dorado Royale: Wonderful vacation away from the cold!

El Dorado Royale was a nice resort with lovely grounds and excellent food. The beach was a bit disappointing as it was generally steep, dirty most of the time, and very little safe areas to swim if you wanted due to the surf and rocks. That said, there were lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and the serving staff were excellent.

Tukan Hotel Playa Del Carmen: Beautiful resort.

This resort is in the perfect location in Playa Del Carmen. It is on the main shopping street but is far back enough that no noise from people walking and shopping can be heard. Resort about a half block from Scotia Bank, fifteen minute walk to Walmart, about ten minute walk to Mega store and about ten to fifteen minute walk to ocean. When too wavy to swim in ocean, pool at hotel was perfect to dip into and to sit around and read and relax. Rooms were perfect. Beds and pillows very comfortab [... read more]le. Maids kept rooms very clean. Breakfast was absolutely perfect, coffee delicious. Staff in both hotel and restaurant were very friendly and courteous. There is also lots of restaurants off the main street that were both delicious and reasonable prices.

Barcelo Huatulco: Fun and games

Set your alarm to watch the amazing sun rise. Down to grab your towel to claim your spot in an already sea of cranberry towels. Grab a cafe and sweet in lobby. Don't forget your book as you join the crowd forming at guest services to make dinner reservations. Be patient amigos the bar opens at 10. These are the games they don't tell you about. Not FUN. If you can fix these issues I will definitely be back

Riu Palace Peninsula: 5 star Resort

We just got home from 10 Wonderful days at the Riu Palace Peninsula. I don’t have anything negative to say about this resort other than the evening entertainment was lacking a few days. Spectacular location wonderful room terrific food, superb service and great drinks made for a memorable holiday. I would go back in a heart beat.

Crown Paradise Club Cancun: Very Nice Family Resort!

Worth the money spent! Spent 5 nights in this resort with my family. Very good resort for the kids!Loads of activities.Al carte resturants were good too. Staff is amazing and will always greet you with a smile.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: large resort in a jungle setting

We arrived at the Occidental in the late evening, they gave us a quick overview and a map of the resort. The resort shuttled us to our building where our room was. Our room was a very nice room, but damp and moldy. If you want to watch tv, good luck as it was hit and miss everyday whether there was reception and my partner wanted to watch the superbowl. We got tv on the last 10 seconds of the game. The first morning we had to find our way through a maze of trails to the buffet on the beach. The [... read more] food was limited and cold, but very tasty. We found the lobby buffet for lunch through the maze of trails and pathways. The buffet was amazing for lunch and dinner. The lunch buffet at the pool is also very tasty and a great variety. There are no signs to help you find your way around saying which way was what so you are always asking for assistance. This is a very large resort area. It took 3 days to figure out which way to go to find our way around. The resort is beautiful with all the wildlife and beautiful plants throughout. The resort is shared with monkeys, birds and land creatures. There are signs telling you not to feed the animals, but no information of what these animals are. Many people were confused on which way to go to find the buildings and where everything was located. Signage would help not to waste time to help find your way around. We got moved from the first floor to the third. I went outside on the balcony, closed the door and realized I was locked out. I lifted the patio door and was released from the balcony as there was no one to help get me back into the room. So the sliding doors are not break in proof. Dont close the patio door if you go out on the balcony. The staff, food and resort is amazing. There is an area near the lobby with a few $$ shops on, so you dont need to leave the resort unless you need anything from a pharmacy. A small pharmacy would be of assistance for sure. As I said the food is amazing and there is no waiting. The steak house, chinese and mexican restraunt is very nice with a limited menu. The menus dont change so you know what to expect each day. A lot of walking though. The resort is clean and the staff works very hard to keep it that way. The staff is very friendly and there is a lot of staff asking you to go on the tour to join their resort club, dont bother wasting your time to get the free bottle of tequila. The resort has daily activities and nightly entertainment. We had fun joining in on the activities around the fantastic pool area and the nitely entertainment is very good, we made a lot of friends. Most of the guests are middle age. It is a quiet, respectful resort with no drunk unruly guests. The area near the ocean is quite a walk from nearly all the rooms. The beach club is quiet in the lagoon and another small walk takes you to the ocean. The area at the ocean is not for swimming. There are rocks and a strong current. Old mayan ruins are still on site and it is very picturesque. Would I recommend the Occidental at Xcaret? If the price is right .... possibly now that we know our way around.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Would go back in a heart beat!

Loved this resort! Clean, amazing staff and lots to do! There was nothing I would have changed about this trip. There's so many restaurants to choose from and 2 buffets at each end of the resort! The entertainment staff by the beach made our trip so specia!

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Fabulous Relaxing Holiday (Nov 2017)

ABBWR is on the list of places to go again (and again). Everything from the grounds to the staff to the food were everything you'd expect and better. As travelers with accessibility issues it is often difficult to get around but NOT at ABBWR. Everything was easy to access and the staff are always willing to assist. Cesar the Beach Manager was a godsend in helping us find a sunbed/lounge near our room that was easy to reach and available when we were. The grounds are well kept and clean, the [... read more] gardens beautiful. I just wish people didn't walk through the Zen garden. We thoroughly enjoyed all our meals. We found some amazing foods as well as some simple comforting soups and such. Everything always seemed fresh and plentiful. Sushi by the beach was one of those little mid day treats that just made the resort better. Snorkelling off the beach seeing turtles, rays, and fish galore was one of our reasons for coming back (we were here in 2007) and it didn't disappoint. It is a resort of simple luxury, not pretentious, but comforting and relaxing.
