Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great Resort

Clean resort, good food and activities for most ages. Service was good. Pharmacy never had basic things we needed and ordering over the counter meds from next town was very pricey. Was concerned about too much algae at the beach based in reviews. This was not an issue for us in mid-December.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Ok resort

The food at the buffet wasn’t great the restaurants were very good all in all a good trip but nothing spectacular the entertainment is really lacking if you go try and share whatever you can with the beach locals they really appreciate it 💕

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time with our family of 5. Our children are young adults and enjoyed the resort as much as we did. There were many activities for them and the food was excellent, many choices at the buffet, so it never got boring. Only improvement suggestions: Better labeling of the food, so you know what you are eating/ wish to try. And please get some real butter, not ultra pasteurized. A la carte provided a change of scenery and was nice, we enjoyed the Japanese restaurant, because of the  [... read more]entertainment and liked the steak house. My husband was very late for dinner that day, and was not accommodated by the restaurant. It was a little disappointing, because the restaurants very never packed. It would not have taken much to fry up a steak. So he had to eat appetizers and dessert. We have nothing to compare our stay to, because this was our first time in Mexico and our first time at a resort. Rooms were clean and comfortable, grounds were kept meticulously and had some native wildlife, which was quite magical. Did not see any bugs the whole week.I loved the open air concept of the lobby, and restaurants, and it was always comfortable, never needed a sweater. I am not sure how hot it would get in the summer, though. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed it every day. I loved that there was shade provided at the beach. It was sometimes hard to get a chair, because people reserve chairs for the whole day, which is not allowed. The hotel could do a better job encouraging people not to be chair hoggers. The pool was big and kids enjoyed it, but extremely slippery tiles around the pool, and everywhere (if the floors get wet through rain). The whole resort seemed a bit big, but my kids said that way there were more people to get activities going. One thing I did not enjoy was the pushy way time share meetings were marketed to us right away, before we even got our room. Scrap that! I can do without that as a welcome! The shopping centre is for the most part totally overpriced. No idea who goes shopping there, but I guess if you forgot something it is handy to have. It is a nice place to have coffee or enjoy a taco, and see the Mayan cultural performance. We had to visit the clinic twice and got good service both times. Overall we had an amazing time and would love to go back!

Las Palmas by the Sea: Excellent Resort

Good food, excellent hospitality. The best Bar Tender is "The Famous David". Miguel from Activities is great at recommending the best tours. Antonio at the door will help you with everything you need carrying your suitcase and getting you a cab. Beautiful beaches! I recommend the destination.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Loved it!!!

The hotel was beautiful the people friendly and the food delicious the beach also wonderful. I'm so so so impressed. There is always food available and of course drinks made to order. Our favorite eating area was actually the Mariachi Grill.. The staff there were the nicest at the whole resort! Look for Onisome, he is the manager and an amazing person. I extremely recommend this fantastic place!!!

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Fantastic Resort

We just returned from our third visit at the CRT and it will not be our last. In fact we are hoping to return with our adult children in February. We stayed on the second floor of block 6 which was closest to the beach and it was great. The staff, food, beach and atmosphere are all wonderful. On another note,please watch out for the Exclusive Traveler Club. They will try very hard to sell you a package. It is not worth it. We purchased the cheapest option for $1599 US which lasts for 2 years. Th [... read more]ey promised $100 a night where in fact it is $165 US a night plus airfare. Going with Tripcentral was much cheaper even without considering the $1599 fee.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Iberostar Lindo - Great Resort

Iberostar Lindo is an excellent resort. Grounds are well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful, a choice of pools, entertainment and restaurants. Management and staff go out of their way to ensure guests have an excellent vacation. This was our 6th trip to the Lindo and will likely go again. Our only complaint was the return shuttle from the hotel to Cancun airport was organized by Sunquest. The shuttle van was too small for the number of people being transported and I felt the travel [... read more] conditions were not safe. Other than this one small drawback the holiday was perfect.

Grand Decameron Los Cabos: Great little gem

This hotel was everything we needed for our getaway with a few minor quibbles like paying for wifi and the safe in your room? Come on-it's 2017 and these should be considered hotel basics not additional charges! Otherwise charming older hotel that was small in size and had great staff,good service and options for food and booze that met our needs (except for the wine which was terrible!-I bought good stuff at the comer to sip on!).its a great location too..easy walk to San Jose.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo Colonial reseort

We were at the Colonial the week before Christmass 2017. The Barcelo is a superb resort. It is excelent except for the rooms that were allocated to us. We are grandparent accompanying a family. We were given two connected rooms on the ground floor. These rooms were so humid that they were smelling mold. Not acceptable, especially for a baby and young children. We made several requests to be reallocated to the second or third floor and we were told that no other two connected rooms were avail [... read more]able.

Grand Sunset Princess: True 4 star

The room was excellent...clean, dry and cold. Rooms cleaning staff were excellent. Food was good...not amazing, but enough selections to a find a nice plate. Deserts were plentiful with good selection. Swim out suite was great...but the sun only hit that side of the building for half the day....so spend the am there, and move to the main pools or the beach. Grounds were clean and in good repair, save for the main big pool that was closed for repair. They have to fix them sometime right? Snac [... read more]k bar on the beach was great....drink lines moved well....staff were happy and polite. Loved that they controlled the lines and sent people who cut lines to the back...not sure hot they kept track of that while making drinks...impressive. If you love the ocean, this is not the greatest spot...rocky just inside the water. Bring water shoes ! Overall we have found better in the area, but this was solid for sure.

Riu Dunamar: Riu Dunamar

This looks like a Sandals type resort with free wifi throughout the hotel and grounds, optics, mini bar and tea and coffee machines in the rooms. Although 720 rooms, the grounds are massive and well laid out - there are five pools and a vey large stretch of beach so it should not feel crowded. It is at the tip of the peninsula so quite isolated but very self contained so other than trips, there is no real need to leave the resort. Spa treatments, gym and water sports are all included in our pack [... read more]age so can't wait to be honest. If anyone knows any more in terms of how the build is coming along (our only anxiety) we'd love to know please. Thanks

La Isla Huatulco: Natural beauty

The hotel is simple but nice. It is not huge fancy resort but it is so cozy and convenient. The nature around is breathtaking. Staff is friendly. Food is good, do not forget to ask for Tlayda, local food. As was said the resort is not classical all inclusive but that makes it very special. The beach is just 1 km away, shuttle provided but do not afraid to walk. Also keep in mind that the ocean is powerful there and waves and currents might be strong. We personally loved this. That is the [... read more] first time when I am thinking of coming back to the same place.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Great family resort

Very kid friendly yet great for adults also. Food was good. Service was great. Will go back for sure. Everything went smooth and our family of 4 all would return. Liked the night shows also..good entertainment.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Amazing Resort

We were very impressed with the resort. It was very clean & well maintained. The grounds were beautiful & the beaches clean. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. We are considering returning to the same location.

Riu Flamingos: Clean, Good Service, Convenient

The grounds were maintained very well. There were Christmas decorations throughout the resort during our stay a few days before the holiday. The buffet had a good variety and the first come first serve a la carte restaurants always had enough room. Our room was very clean and the maids always provided clean sheets and towels. The public washrooms were also cleaned regularly and one could always receive a drink quickly at any of the resorts bars. Everything was very compact and easy to find and g [... read more]et to.

Riu Vallarta: Great vacation

The room was beautiful (junior suite, ocean view). The food was really good, though a bit repetitive. It is a bit of a party resort - because it’s small, you can’t really get away from the loud crowds in the evening. The beach is nice, but very packed.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Fantastic time

Resort is big but luckily there are trollies to get you around. Beautifully kept grounds lots of palm trees and flowers and wild life around. Great workers very friendly. Beach is beautiful we set up camp there everyday. Nice long walks on the beach lots of sea shells to find and coral

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Great Resort

Stayed at ocean coral and turquesa for a week and it was wonderful. the rooms are great and spacious, the beds are comfortable and the pillows are insane! would have taken them home if i could have. the beach is beautiful with white sand, and service on the beach! the swim up bar is great and speedy, and all of the restaurants were amazing. would recommend to anyone going!

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Amazing Resort

Very good family resort. Every details were taken care of for adults as well kids. Smiling and welcoming staff workers who make you feel home. We were able to spent some quality couple time as well family time.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Great place for the families.

We went to Sandos Caracol with our family of 4. Two kids of twelve and wife and I. Upon being greeted in the lobby, we checked easily and were offered by one of their staff to sit down to be explained a few things about the hotel. They did explained a few details about the restaurants and other info, but also tried getting us to go for a sales pitch breakfast with them to try to sell us some kind of timeshare for their hotel.

Once we knew to mind own business and avoid these salesman... We loved the place. Food was great, the Intl buffet had lots of great food to choose from. The Italian buffet was also fantastic, especially for breakfast. The a la carte restaurant were very good, especially the Riviera. We booked our tours with our travel operating company (BD) and were very satisfied, even after a miscommunication error where they disn't tell us of a surtax on a park. They decided to give it to us complementary for the troubles they may have caused. BD were very attentive to our needs and tried to accomodate us as much as possible. Waterpark was great. Main pool was a bit small but also very good. My kids loved playing volleyball. Our room was clean but nothing fancy. We had to ask a few times for extra towels. No animals made of towels. Beds were clean, confortable and room kept clean. Beach was very nice, but too many rocks as you go into the water. Bring water shoes. Overall, a very successful trip. I would recommend the hotel to any family.
