Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Bahia Principe Luxury Akumel

We have stayed at a lot of all inclusives and we definitely rate this one as best one we have ever stayed at. We were in adult section of adult luxury Akumel. Check in was our first impression of great service, grounds and pools were beautiful, staff were amazing, very accommodating and helpful, trolleys readily available for rides, buffets had good selection and a la carte restaurants had amazing food! We will be back to this resort as we loved it!

Barcelo Maya Palace: OK RESORT

The grounds are ok, it's not small at all.......if you like small and personal, this is not for you. No beach bar or music and YES there are rocks in the ocean. I'm a beach person and I hated this beach because you always had to watch were you step!!! Yes there's go-carts and a bigger water park and bowling.....ALL AT AN ADDTIONAL EXTRA EXPENSIVE COST!! $50 USD for the go-carts. As far as the chairs......after 7:30am everything is gone and the reviews were right!!!!!!!!! they need at least [... read more] 150 extra chairs to maybe make everyone happy. I read the reviews and like always resorts are all the same and I'm not that picky about the rooms, about the food, about the service, however, there was something about this place that I just would not recommend it to my friends. oh, and they now try to get you at the airport to book excursions for a good price but yet, its a set up for timeshares. be careful if that's not for you. You will be stuck to do a 90min meeting just for a better price for a sink hole excursion....but yet they forget to mention the 90min meeting to you.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Mexico

Very good value for the money...my second time there. May go again. Love the Rocky beach with the fish swimming all around you...but bring water shoes...the free dolphin show so good, that we walked back to see it a second time. Spa is a nice treat, but staff were poor. The only place in the resort we found rude staff. Front desk staff inexperienced or very limited training, but all other staff are wonderful! Restaurants staff and food were wonderful...I didn't like that they used the same [... read more] placemats over and over again, and would put the clean cutlery on them...yuk! Nothing new in the Carribean I guess...much cleaner than Costa Rica though!

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Truly Paradise

This resort is absolutely amazing on all levels. Everything is clean and well kept. The restaurants offer a good variety of food and we did not have any trouble getting reservations. We did however make our dinner reservations for the week upon arrival. Our favourite restaurant was Cappella's Italian Restaurant. The Nespresso bar was another favourite. The buffet was always accessible and offered a great selection of fresh dishes and made to order options. The staff is pleasant and appear to rea [... read more]lly enjoy what they are doing. Easy access to the beach and family side of the resort. We often walked over to the family side to get our gelato which was amazing. The pool was fun but we spent most of our days on the beach, where the sand was raked and cleared of seaweed every morning. Beautiful sandy beach with lots of sitting areas, lounging chairs, and cabanas. My husband and I were very happy with all aspects of this resort.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Great time.

The resort is very nice and expansive, the grounds beautifully kept. The room we had was incredibly quiet. The staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. There was an issue with our room phone and someone was there within minutes to fix it. Everything was very clean. Fridge was restocked daily. The beach was gorgeous and well maintained with plenty of seating. Mauro at guest services was absolutely lovely. The Mexican cultural evening was amazing, especially the Maya portion. It was fun to [... read more] see all sorts of animals wandering the resort like monkeys, iguanas, coati and agouti. Overall we enjoyed the food and they seemed to have something for just about everyone. Most small annoyances we had were with other guests, not the hotel. (ie people putting towels out at 8am to 'reserve' pool loungers all day, loud drunks in the pool, people smoking in nonsmoking areas). A couple of small points: check out time is noon but house keeping kicked us out of our room at 11, wifi/mobile in the room was awful (probably because the walls are incredibly thick), you will be asked repeatedly and frequently if you want add on services like massages/spa, we were in a ground level room and there was no way to lock the door leading outside. The lack of a lock wasn't an issue for us, but may make some guests feel unsafe. Overall it was an amazing stay in a beautiful setting and I'd absolutely return.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: A lovely resort

Well maintained, very large resort in four sections. Akumal is by far the nicest of them. The restaurants are fantastic, especially the Japanese ones. Lovely pool facilities. Great beaches. The shuttle service is wonderful.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: We had a great time

We stayed at the Royalton Rivera cancun. We had great time. Food with good, room was clean and spacious. Loved how it was geared to the younger kids. We would book an early supper and then they would go to the kids dance parties. Only thing I found strange was we would have trouble getting napkins and spoons when eating in the buffet for breakfasts. Overall my girls and hubby and I had a great time!

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Beautiful resort

We stayed at the hideaway section. Beautiful pool and lots of activities. Evening shows were very good. Lots of fun. Buffet food was excellent Steak house was very good. Beautiful spa Coffee shop on main level is excellent. Beach is nice but a bit windy when we were there.,but the water is warm.

Paradisus Playa del Carmen: Paradisus Paradise Viva Mexico !

The Good: - Amazing staff - Great food - Nice facilities - Mangrove and cool critters The Bad - Very very noisy rooms on the family side - Some cocktails were Ok at best - Stinky toilet. Noisy plumbing - Mayan Riviera is very expensive including this resort.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great Resort!

The food was fantastic, with plenty of options to suit everyone’s tastes. The drinks were just as impressive—we especially loved the pop-up margarita bar! The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, making our experience even better. The beach was a bit rocky, so we were glad we brought water shoes. While not the best beach we’ve visited, it was still enjoyable. Our room was beautiful, though the hot tub upstairs wasn’t working. I also wish it had been a bit cleaner, but overall, it was [... read more] a lovely space. The resort itself is massive, so be prepared to walk a lot! If you enjoy wildlife, you’re in for a treat—we spotted monkeys, deer, iguanas, and more. Overall, we had a great time and would rate our stay 4 stars!

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great resort!

Although we didn't have the best of weather, we still enjoyed the resort. We restaurants were great! Food was great! Hydro therapy was amazing! Bowling when it rained... lots to do. But I should say... the beach was hard to enjoy because of the rocks. The pools were great!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful resort

We loved the beautiful beaches, and there were always enough lounge chairs to go around. Stunning weather (end of Jan, beginning of Feb), and the resort is so spacious, so it was fun to walk around. There were plenty of activities (we did a yoga class), and the staff go out of their way to make you comfortable and happy. The food was also plentiful with enough variety not to get bored. They did overbook and move us to another hotel at the resort, which was really noisy, so we moved back to the o [... read more]riginal hotel the next day - they were accommodating about that. Amazing trip!

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautiful resort

Barceló Maya Palace is one of several properties owned by Barceló along a lovely stretch of clean beach. Both the grounds and the beach were meticulously maintained. Stay at one and access all, except for adults only property. The room was huge, with a comfortable king sized bed. Lots of storage for clothing, and a large bathroom with two sinks. But the room was damp, very damp. Our clothes came home smelling very musty. Our bathing suits never dried out fully in the 10 days there. The buffets w [... read more]ere full of tasty food and the a la carte restaurants were excellent. Service was attentive and timely. However, the beach bar and lobby bars were understaffed, resulting in waits up to 15 minutes for drinks. On the plus side, all frozen cocktails were freshly made in the blender, to order. Very tasty. The first week of our stay was very busy, so it was difficult to get lounge chairs at the beach and pools. Most resorts have a “no reserving” policy but I have never seen it enforced like here. I made my way to my preferred location around 6:30 each day (I was awake anyway) to leave my towel and water bottle, then stayed to watch the sunrise. Management and a maintenance worker came by and randomly removed towels and personal belongings! This created a couple of nasty altercations on the beach later in the day when people discovered their reserved chairs had strangers in them. Clearly the resort does not have sufficient chairs for everyone either at the beach or around the pools. Unfortunately some people put towels down then never show up, which is incredible selfish, or they reserve chairs at both the beach and pool, also selfish. On the whole, it was a very pleasant vacation. I would return to this resort or to one of the adjoining properties for sure.

Catalonia Yucatan: Nice grounds

The resort was nice Needs more restaurants and aka carts 2 of us got really sick half way thru until we got home and our included transportation to airport never showed up to take us to airport,cost us 1500 pesos We will never return to this resort

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Ok

Hotel is nice. Quite dated with old shower. The bed was comfy. 2 sinks was great. Beach grounds and shoreline was outstanding however water although aqua in colour and warm was very rough with lots of sharp coral. Windy conditions for 10 days, too bad for us. Swimming was very difficult. Lots of steps and slippery surfaces. At 75 I was very careful everywhere I walked. Food was not good at the deck/grill. Good at Azia and the Mediterranean restaurants. Drink selection was very good. Having be [... read more]ach chairs available without reserving was a Hugh plus. People working at the resort were pleasant.

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Perfect Getaway

Not only was it a beautiful resort with amazingly beautiful views of the ocean but it was also a great place to relax and be catered to. Our room was spectacular. The resort size was ideal since it was not crowded at the pool, for dining nor on the beach. As picky eaters we were impressed by the variety of restaurants and menu items to choose from. We were especially impressed by the dining service at the Grill from our favourite staff member named Frank N. He was attentive and very efficient. W [... read more]e appreciated the willingness, efficiency and cordial nature of all staff which enhanced our stress-free vacation. The atmosphere, the service, the beauty and the tranquility of this resort made this our favorite vacation so far.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Very bad rooms

Very bad, small, dirty, rundown rooms. Also without paying extra, the only option for meals was the buffet. Service was good. Golf was very good ……………,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,…………………..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Nice resort

Ocean riviera paradise is a nice resort. We stayed in the adult only were to have a pool view but the room we ended up with was not a pool view but still worked out. Restaurants were good when open enjoyed the Japanese and route 66, steakhouse was also good. Buffet was as expected hit and miss for hot food. Entertainment was good 1 night 2 guys playing on a Monday they need to have it Thursday, Friday and Saturday with bands. For us it was too big of a resort.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Impressed!

This resort is well maintained, super clean, and the staff was incredible. The specialty restaurants were delicious, with many to choose from. The Italian restaurant was our favorite, followed by the French restaurant. The grounds are kept meticulous, along with the pools and public washrooms. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautiful vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bacelo Maya Palace. The beach was awesome and swimming with the sea turtles was so cool. The food was delicious, the rooms clean and service was excellent. When there were line ups for the bar, a manager would be present to organize a quicker method. Our only complaint, would be there are not enough seats. You need to be up and out of your room by 6:30 am in order to reserve loungers at the beach or at the pool. We heard heated arguments because people [... read more] were stealing a loungers that were already reserved with towels. It seems the only way they wouldn't be taken was if you left personal items on them. It is a very busy resort, with tons of people. I think I prefer quieter spaces, but now we know for next time. Overall, a great spot!
