Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Beautiful Resort

This resort is amazing an adults only, 20 mins from airport. The king bedroom was really spacious with a huge California King bed. They had a wicker table and chairs. Fridge was stocked daily with 2 water and pop. Snacks were left in cabinet. The staff kept everything really clean. Our room was 5 min walk to pool and beach. The beach and pool could be seen from our balcony. Lots of food choices even vegan in the buffet restaurant. There were 2 other restaurants on site one by reservation only.  [... read more]Pool was refreshing, there was jacuzzi in the middle and 4 massage showers, lots of seating and a bar at one end. You could walk to the beach from the pool area. Beach was a white powder. Very peaceful for going on walks around resort. Peacocks walked around resort and on the walking paths. Tripcentral was great recommending this resort. We will definitely return again.

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Third time at this resort, only one complaint

This was our third time staying at the Royal Hideaway Playacar (we've gone each February for the past 3 years). The food, drinks, rooms, grounds, and staff are all amazing, and the resort has such a charming, intimate feel to it because it is so small (about 200 rooms). My only complaint is about the canvas sun shades/canopies on the beach. This hotel is distinct because it has one of these for each set of chairs on the beach (most other resorts don't have this). When we first came here in Febru [... read more]ary 2018, every single set of chairs on the beech had one. When we returned in February 2019 we noticed that some of the canopies were not in working order and had not been replaced, and some chairs were missing canopies altogether. On our recent return trip in February 2020, I was shocked that there were hardly any canopies at all. I estimate that only 20% of the chairs had them, which meant you needed to get up before the sun to reserve your chairs on the beach if you wanted one. This luxury resort is doing itself a disservice by not replacing the canopies. We want to return in February 2021, but I'm worried that there will be no canopies on the beach at all. In order to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable day at the beach, there has to be shade options for every chair.

Allegro Playacar: Great time!

Lovely resort, well kept grounds, good food and excellent staff. The room was modern and fresh and the beds very comfortable. Restocking the water, coffee and fridge were a bit inconsistent. If someone had mobility issues they may find the stairs to the upper units and the walk down to the beach a bit of a challenge - slight slope heading toward the pools and beach. Would certainly travel back to the Allegro.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Nice resort

Well kept grounds. Friendly staff. We were a bit disappointed with the beach. There is no shade. Tall skinny palm trees don't provide any shade. Therefore we would park our stuff by the pools where the shade is minimal and walk to beach to swim. Why are there no palapas? I have never been to a resort with no palapas.

Occidental Caribe: A great Resort

The hotel area is clean the food was great the rooms were usually clean quite well the staff were polite the people who work the pool bar are always fun exciting entertainment at night was great in the hall and the entertainment by the bar was always fun to watch like watching the karaoke overall it was a great Resort

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: Beautiful clean well maintained Resort.

I loved the resort it is very clean grounds well maintained. Just lovely. The people that served us were friendly and willing to do what ever there could to make your stay pleasant. The food was wonderful all kinds of varieties at the buffets . If you wanted to you could go for a walk off the resort, and feel safe. . Out side of the resort, was so clean and the streets and gardens very well maintained .

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Top Notch Resort

My wife,Diane and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay of 10 days at Barcelo Colonial. Beautiful, long beach with many pools and lots of chairs. We enjoyed good food at the buffet and two of the three a la carte Restaurants. .. Not the seafood as we were pushed to buy expensive wine and were rushed.. The Japanese and Italian were excellent! Eight of 10 days were sunny and hot. On the two cooler, cloudy days we were able to find many things to do besides shopping (there are a lot of shops) There are t [... read more]wo large theatres where we enjoyed several performances, a dolphin show and several other activities both inside and out that could be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.We would place this resort at the top of our list of several resorts we visited .

Palma Real: Cuba Vacation

Hotel is ideal location downtown next to Havana Club nightclub, House of Rum, Bank, Calle 62 Bar, Barbacaos Steakhouse and many shops. Beach is a walk down the street which is unfortunately under repair. Snack/bar available and loungers under shade. Beach is very beautiful. Hotel is older and rooms need updating/repair. Moved to a better room with walkout to pool without issue. Entertainment shows and music daily at the pool in the afternoon. Buffet always had something - beef potatoes ice cream [... read more] omelettes . No ice at pool bar. Lobby bar can get crowded. Good resort for a good price. Airport on return was packed ' -lineups out the door and flight delayed. Smoking room in airport after security.

Palma Real: Good Resort Downtown

Good resort located downtown within walking distance to shops, restaurants, nightclubs and bank. Beach is across the street which had construction going on. Older hotel with swimup bar and music/entertainment at the pool. Nightly shows with bar available. Buffet choices were repetative. A la cartes were only open on fri/sat. Italian pizzaria was not opened. Snack bar choices were limited. Wine only available at the buffet or to purchase at the shops on site. Ran out of ice most days and rum one  [... read more]night. Most of the staff are very kind and accomodating and a pleasure to talk to. 2 of the buildings were shut down - the place must get packed when in full operation! Enjoyed my time here and would return for the right price.

Occidental Cozumel: Beautiful resort!!

The grounds were beautiful with lush gardens and trees!! Beach was clean but disappointed in the ocean rocks and constant waves!! No swim up pool but clean and cold lol Food was good but buffets very small and not a lot of variety!! Services was great especially Carlos and Rayana!!! Rooms were clean and gorgeous!! Overall had an amazing trip and highly recommended!!

Barcelo Ixtapa: Outstanding Resort

The staff, food and accommodations were outstanding. We really enjoyed our stay. The food and the views were amazing. Other guests were very nice and the resort provides many different activities for guests. I recommend this resort as it is in a great area compared to others. Thank you Tripcentral for the great customer service!

Allegro Cozumel: Our stay at Allegro Cozumel

Overall we had a great time, wish the kids / families that were there had utilized the kids pool more than they did. There are 3 pools, a kids pool, a more family oriented pool, and a bigger pool with swim-up bar/entertainment - we took this to be the adult pool, still lots of kids around/loud families Also wish there was a sign / rule about “reserving chairs” at the pool. Frustrating when people would reserve chairs, one day someone had 3 chairs reserved we were at the pool for 6 hours a [... read more]nd they didn’t show once!! There needs to be a rule in place that it is not allowed - this is what we were told upon arrival. Otherwise, they need more chairs by all pools and on the beach. Food was good, the Japanese A La Carte is a must - hibachi grill! The Mexican was also thebomb.com. Buffet had different “themes” every night/morning. Breakfast was mediocre - bacon was almost always empty, but was still decent! Omelette bar was our go-to every morning. Pools were clean, the waitors/staff by the pool always made sure our drinks were full, pool was spotless and that we were taken care of! Overall great stay! Would recommend to families with young kids, maybe not young couples on honey moons or older couples looking to relax - lots of kids running around, parents occasionally yelling at them, splashing, jumping, etc.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Fair

This was my second stay here, the resort is fair. I would not call it a 4 star though. If you go with the mind set that you’re going to Cuba for the beach and to relax then you’re good. We the food was acceptable but they need to work on their costumer service skills.

Barcelo Ixtapa: Amazing beach. Dated resort.

Pools are nice. Service is ok poolside. No room service. Drinks are watered down. DO NOT EAT THE SUSHI they dont know how to cook sushi rice and it is always half cooked. Mexican food is good. Food selection is large, if bland. Staff struggle with english. Location and rooms are really good, if very dated. This is a 4 star resort... at best.

Occidental Cozumel: Very Relaxing Resort

Rooms very clean and spacious. Grounds well kept. short walk to all areas, pools lobby and ocean. Buffets are a tad small. Staff gave very good service. Ocean a bit rocky going in. Not much going on for entertainment at night.

Barcelo Tambor: Amazing Resort

-grounds were luscious and green, extremely clean in all areas, including public areas -beach was lengthly and very quiet, but needed water shoes at top to walk on rocks, then very sandy once in the water -buffet was very nice, fresh, and plenty of variety -only 2 a la carte restaurants, but both were very good quality and service, however having to stand in line every morning the day of reservation was very annoying -very surprised at the amount of locals permitted on the resort, and seeme [... read more]d to dominate the service, if you don’t speak Spanish, you were not paid any attention while the locals were present -the entertainment was not very engaging, as it only catered to local Spanish speaking audiences, no translation - the pool had to be closed on 3 occasions due to contamination due to rowdy locals(vomit) -stay was very relaxing, but not much to do unless went on excursions - great wildlife, iguanas, monkeys, macaws

Barcelo Solymar: 3 star resort

It was a good resort. We encountered some problems. There was no water at all for the most part of one day throughout the entire hotel. We only had cold showers for the other 6 days. It did not get to 50 degrees at all, more like 40 degrees. There was no hot water. The people were great, the hospitality was top notch. Huge resort and they were keeping up with the up grades. So huge that there was a lot of walking being done to go throughout the entire resort. I had no problems with this. 3 â­ [... read more]ï¸â€™s

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful

This place is amazing for kids and adults, lots and lots to do. The food is alright. And the entertainment Is really good as well. I only wish they had like a beach bar/snack bar. This was really the only thing I wasn’t to thrilled about.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort for families & adults only

Large white sand beach, many different restaurants (Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Sports restaurant, etc.), & activities (mini-golf, golf, bowling, tennis, basketball, water sports, sailing, canoeing, etc.) many pools, water park for kids, many bars, 2 large theaters with great shows every night. Hotel is large with many different buildings so you never feel cramped up with people around, hotel rooms are very nice and beach chairs are always easily available with good shade from many palm [... read more] trees. In all, a great hotel. We stayed in the adult section but had access everywhere on the family site.

Occidental Tucancun: Good place to stay

We spent 2 weeks in Occidental Tucancun and had a really good time. The hotel was clean and had all the amenities one needs. It was really handy to have the mall across the street. The location of this hotel is great. The beach was beautiful as as always the case in the hotel zone and we spent a lot of time playing in the waves. If you are not a good swimmer, the ocean is tricky as the currents were strong and the waves big. We also found it quite windy, more so than in previous years when we we [... read more]nt to Cancun or Mayan Riviera. The food was decent. The Mexican restaurant was quite good and the Italian restaurant made a good to order pasta. The room was large and clean and the fridge restocked daily. Our room was facing the lagoon and the AC noise was really loud so we had to keep the windows closed. That was one negative. The other bigger negative was that you had to pay extra for wi-fi ($45 US a week). We never had to pay that much money for wi-fi. So we didn't. We would walk over to the mall and connect there. The staff at OT were very friendly. I want to especially thank Louis and Antonio at the beach restaurant for their hospitality and bright smiles. Overall it was a great hotel and we would definitely recommend this resort.
