Camino Real Zaashila: Perfect Escape !!

We found this hotel just before booking a trip to the Mayan Riviera and were instantly intrigued by its size and overall aesthetic - and thankfully it ended up being exactly what we wanted. This hotel is small compared to most tropical resorts particularly those built nowadays which was perfect ! Our group consisted of my girlfriend and I (both under 30) and my over 75 year old father. The hotel is stunning, the buildings and grounds are beautiful and well maintained - and reminded us of the [... read more] Greek Islands - While the rooms could be considered "outdated" like in some reviews because the furniture wasn't brand new - but for us, we spent minimal time in the room anyways. The bed was extremely comfortable, the maid service was on point and our room worked perfectly for our "base camp". Because the resort is so small all the rooms are within close proximity to the ocean, pool, restaurants and bars which was lovely. The Beach is absolutely stunning and the vibe between other guests very much ensures that no one is blaring terrible music from the Bose a couple palapas downwind (Huge Positive in Our minds !) The Bar service is equally as exemplary - Premium Booze - Canned Beers that can be delivered right to your chair in a bucket of ice very easily by there wonderful staff. The restaurants are all A La Carte with the exception of the breakfast buffet (SideNote - The gentlemen who cooks the omelets, pancakes and quesadillas is a champ and should win the award for best flattop cook in the history of all inclusive hotels) The food overall is very good - but can get a little repetitive after a full week - so don't be lazy and take the $5 cab ride into La Crucecita and enjoy of the wonderful and affordable dining options that the town has to offer ! Or if not, and your lazy order room service which is also on point and available 24 hours a day to your door. While we are not lazy, we did however take advantage of some late night ice cream and cheesecake room service and some breakfast in bed that was phenomenal. The Beach is stunning, the pool is proper if pools are your thing (they are not ours) The Gym is lets say slightly outdated, but there is a bench, weights, a couple treadmills and its all functional The grounds are stunning and bursting with tonnes of birds, iguanas Staff were all very very lovely, sweet and hardworking This is NOT a party hotel Free Wifi in the Lobby and sometimes in other areas in the resort $5 Cab ride to town is a must Quick & Easy transport from the Airport to the hotel (15 minutes) Good Food - Great Alcohol Selection As noted in other reviews the hotel is a combination of All Inclusive guests (mostly Canadian) and Regular guests who seem to be largely from South America - In case you care. Overall none of our group has any major concerns and really enjoyed our stay at the Camino Real - and would definitely visit again and recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing week in absolute Mexican paradise !

Las Brisas Huatulco: A Natural Paradise

We have just returned from our 4th stay at Las Brisas and were thrilled with our experience once again. This is not your typical cookie cutter resort in that there is much more to enjoy than the beach and, of course, the weather which is consistently 30 C. in January. The food selection is excellent, whether enjoying the ample variety of the buffet or the a la carte restaurants of which there are 5 to choose from. The staff is very friendly and ready to assist you in any way they can. Rooms are  [... read more]very spacious and are equipped with all the essentials you would expect from toiletries to towels. But what makes this resort special is that you can enjoy snorkeling right off their beach. And if that's not your thing, there are tennis courts, pickelball courts, volleyball or just nature walks, at your disposal. The resort, though in the neighbourhood of 40 years of age, is constantly being updated. New paths and gardens have been created. WIFI is available throughout, even on the beach! The steepness of the grounds might be a turnoff for some who are not used to doing stairs (of which there are plenty). However, the resort is accessable to all by means of motorized carts which connect all essential areas of the grounds. There are many other reasons too numerous to mention which will bring us back to Las Brisas in the future.

Breathless Cabo San Lucas: Breathless left me speechless

Breathless was equal parts good and bad. The good: very clean everywhere, restaurants are better than most all-inclusives. The bad: no water sports, nightly entertainment is non-existent despite what they say, staff will rudely ask for tips (even though all gratuities are meant to be included, as per Breathless advertising).

Grand Oasis Cancun: Wouldn't go again

The bad: Check-in took wayyyy too long, and the front desk staff were largely unhelpful. No 24 hour bars, last ones close at 1am. The "health bar" was awful, they just mixed concentrates in gross jugs- no fresh fruit. No free wifi, and you have to pay for a lock for the safe. Had a leak in the ceiling in our room, but they did fix it fairly quickly. The good: The restaurants were great, as well as the coffee shops (included). Great beach. The wifi coverage was pretty good. Overall impressi [... read more]on: 3.5 star at best

Riu Palace Pacifico: Amazing Resort!

First time travelling and it was amazing. The place was spotless. The food was fantastic. With several different types to choose from for even the pickiest of eaters The staff was friendly and very helpful. The pool was clean and not crowded even with so many people there. The beach was wonderful. Staff worked hard to keep it well maintained. Always someone available to assit if need be. They had a great crew to entertain the guests both at the pool and in the hotel.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Great 4Star Hotel

We are a middle aged well traveled couple. We have stayed in mainly 5 star all inclusives but decided to save a few dollars and stay at a 4 star. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. The beach is great here and even though many reviewers complained about the lack of shade we never had a problem finding a chair in the shade at any time of the day. That being said we do not sit around the pool as we prefer to sit on the beach. The only thing that I can think to complai [... read more]n about is that the windows do not open. I don't mind not having a balcony as we spend very little time in our room however I do not like sleeping with the cold air conditioning on and it would be nice to hear the waves at night. Also would appreciate internet access in the Lobby. I rather like not having internet in the room while on vacation but it would be nice to be able to check in every few days and so Lobby internet would be appreciated. The Ocean was so rough when we were there that it made it impossible to have a nice swim but if you like to play in the waves this is the beach for you. One day the water was so rough that it was washing in dozens of yellow bellied water snakes, Yikes! It was also amazing to see a nest of turtles hatch right on our resort beach . The staff at the hotel was great and I would especially like to thank Eder Huescq at the front desk as he went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our stay. I really don't understand the complaints about check in as ours and our friends who arrived days after us both had a quick and cheerful check in with Eder. We did not upgrade to Royal level and really i can not see that it would be worth an extra $100 a day to do so. Although the nights get chilly and it would have been nice to be able to use the hot tub in the Royal level pool.

Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: Mediocre at best

They say that this is a 4+ Star resort but I am only able to reach a 2.5-3 Star rating at best. Food was on and off mostly off, We were without towels for 3 days in a row, always had to call and get delivered. Big language barrier with the staff. Rooms were so so. The scenery of the resort was nice but be prepared for HILLS HILLS and MORE HILLS. There is a lot of walking to be done and shuttles are few and far between unless you want to wait. There is no main lobby with a gift shop, there i [... read more]s no auditorium for a band or show to set up. All the chairs are hard wood and kill your back. The pool was nice and we stayed in the adults section most of the time. The beach associated with the resort was not nice at all. Rocky to say the least I would steer clear of here unless you are going to take your chance. It is not worth the monies spent on this vacation nor is it a 4+ Star

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Paradise in Mexico 🇲🇽

The Bahia Principe Sian Ka’an was outstanding. Our Air Transat guides from Manuela who helped book the place to Evelyn and Antonia - all three were very informative and helpful in arranging our stay in the Mayan Riviera. Our room and the gardens were immaculate! Jorge gave us directions to the other beautiful resorts on the beach and topped it by having Ivan our butler decoratie our bed with rose petals and a bottle of wine! Could not have asked for better service- from the greeter at the buf [... read more]fet, to servers like Luis and Faustino and the variety of food made by such a creative chef was topped by the nightly entertainment! We would definitely come back but next time for 2 weeks! Great holiday to beautiful area of the world!

Allegro Cozumel: Good resort

Terrible food at buffet! I was concerned before booking after what I had read,but was reassured by Trip Central that one of their workers went and it was good?? The entertainment wasn’t good either!! But the resort was beautiful and staff very good.

El Dorado Casitas Royale: They spoiled us

This is my third time to the Mayan Riviera & the second time to the Eldorado Royale. This time we stayed in a swim up Casita. The room was huge & had an indoor & outdoor shower. The grounds are beautiful and the staff are very attentive. The food is excellent and the spa is very relaxing.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Great Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Las Brisa in Huatulco. The Hotel is clean the staff are pleasant and the food is good. There are plenty of activities to get involved in. We had a good holiday and would go back again.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Las Brisas Huatulco, Mexico

This is or second time at Las Brisas and we will most likely go back again. What a beautiful location, gorgeous beaches and a wonderful staff. Food in the main dining room was good, plenty of choices and varied but the food at the 4 "a la carte" restaurants was simply awful. Something has to change there. The rooms were comfortable enough, basic but good enough.

Grand Park Royal Cozumel: Superb resort

Have made numerous trips to Mexico and this resort is now one of my favourite.super location,beautiful grounds and wonderful service .Rooms are clean and spacious with views of the Caribbean if in the higher floors with a view of the cruise ships arrivals and departures. Only the buffets were a bit of a disappointment but we were able to satisfy our appetites .Specialty restaurants were very nice . Smaller beach area but 3 pools. Overall a great resort that we would recommend

Las Flores Beach Resort: Nicely renovated rooms

We stayed here 6 years ago and since then the rooms were renovated and are quite nice. Beautiful views from balcony Pool was way too cold to use, no free internet in rooms but in lobby free turtle slow internet.

Riu Flamingos: Simply Awesome

The star rating for this hotel is perfect or perhaps a bit below. The grounds and rooms are very nice and clean. Food is plenty and in good selection. Buffet service during the meals is ok but varies, for those who wish to have a server on stand by I advise to book a hotel for 1K more. The beach is awesome with soft sand, warm water and waves for everyone to have fun. Note to future guests when going back to your room after 10:00PM please be considered of other guests and keep your voices  [... read more]down. No 3ft thick walls can keep them away at times. If your pick up time is after check out it is possible to leave luggage in a room with no security that anyone have access to. Found that odd, thankfully nothing happened. Overall awesome stay and recommend.

Moon Palace The Grand Cancun: The Best Resort!

The resort is very large and amazing! Service was great and food was exceptional! Staff are great and I would definitely return to The Grand again. Only disappointment were the water slides that were closed. This was one of the main reasons we came to the resort.

Riu Dunamar: Riu Dunamar

Very clean and simplistic. Hard working staff. Spacious rooms. Good food with lots of variety. Enjoyed the different food stations, salad bar, appetizer bar, Mediterranean,pasta, Mexican, meat fish and desert. Each had an abundance of choices.

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: BARCELO Gran Faro Los Cabos - Incredible Resort!

We LOVED the Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos resort!!! The grounds were beautifully kept and very clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and offered a wonderful, wide variety within the 2 buffet restaurants and 3 others that were on-sight. There were 3 pools, plus 2 hot tubs and a small playground area with a pool for children. WE loved the infinity pool overlooking the gorgeous white sand beach and ocean. The beach, which was lined with palm trees, was cl [... read more]ean and groomed every evening. The resort itself was quiet, relaxing and was not overcrowded. The only small complaint we have is that the poolside music was a little too loud, but was not as load on the beach. We chose to go on one off sight adventure with Cabo Adventures and it proved to be a very fun and perfect day! We received excellent value for the price which included transportation, sailing on a beautiful, super clean catamaran, snorkeling, paddle boarding, appetizer, lunch and whale watching! It was fantastic!! All shuttles ran on time and offered comfortable transportation. We never felt unsafe even when walking into town. I know that I speak for our entire group of eight people when I say that we ALL had an amazing vacation at this resort, would return without hesitation and would recommend it to family and friends. I have already recommended it to several clients. Thank you Trip Central, Shauna Langille (travel agent), Westjet Vacations and all at the Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos! My 60th birthday was the BEST EVER!!!!!

Riu Vallarta: Wonderful resort!

The hotel and its surroundings were above expectation. The room was specious, very clean, the food was amazing, so many choices, so many delicatessens, the service was very friendly everywhere. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, if not big waves in the ocean, I loved to swim. Every day was sunny and warm - what else to wish?

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Very good

Spotless mind very clean They need better animation The beach every morning is ocupat whit the local trying to celling everything never stop and bring horses for rent and after so many our the horses sheet The beach can be better is nice to seeing but no usually.
