Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great resort

Nice pools, nice service, nice beach, nice food. Great pool entertainment team and lots of activities to do. For the price I paid it was quite a good resort. The pool stretches about 200 meters which is was nice. There was a diverse food selection. Would recommend the steakhouse.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Beautiful resort but smokey rooms and food poisoning an issue

Beach was nice. Snorkeling off the dock was the highlight. Food was good until I got food poisoning the 2nd to last day. Killed the rest of the trip. Beats pill was stolen form my bag at Mexico airport. Room smelt like smoke.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Lovely hotel

The hotel property is quite large with multiple wings of the building connected to the lobby. The staff were friendly and attentive. The beach is very nice and there are numerous pools at they provide plenty of lounge chairs. The Caribbean water is clean though rough at times, there are some rocks, and jet skiers, etc. out further. Though one of the least expensive rooms, ours was quite large with Jacuzzi, bathroom with shower (two shower heads), sinks in bathroom and at end of room, safe, m [... read more]inibar that they kept stocked with drinks, water and snacks. It was also quiet. Our all-inclusive plan included all meals at 6 of the hotel's 7 restaurants (plus the 3 at their other property Panama Jack's) as well as the Coffee House, bars, etc. (and they will make a box lunch if you're going sightseeing during the day). The meals were very good--we gained a few pounds. In the afternoons there were various tastings and other activities; every evening there was a show either on the grass or in the large lobby area. Only beware Time-sharing, Hotel Club sellers.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Great Stay

We've been here twice and this resort is fantastic (the whole complex). Food is decent but the beach and ocean are spectacular. You can snorkel right off the beach and see sea turtles, schools of fish, and some big guys too. Only downside is the lack of decent night time entertainment, but its certainly not a deal breaker. Resort is exceptionally clean and well kept. You won't regret coming here.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Run Down

It was our second time at the Iberostar Cozumel. I must and foremost praise the staff which was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the composting and sour smell was overwhelming. The area of the main lobby and main restaurant as well as the show theatre smelled so bad it was terrible. I was renting two rooms and room 2612 smelled like shit, pretty much like the composting site, which is not acceptable. The steak house was very good while the Mexican restaurant was disappointing. The beach  [... read more]area is non existant and requires shoes as there is no sand, just coral and rocks. The snorkelling is good having seen Moray eel, barracuda, octopus, and plenty of fish. The Christmas diner (buffet) was ordinary. Unfortunately I will not be returning

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Amazing staff

We were here with a group of girls at the end of November. I have to say the staff were amazing from the entertainment to the staff in the restaurants. Our room was renovated and very clean. We had an issue with our toilet and they kept sending someone until it was fixed. The food and the restaurants I found were really good. I have issues with certain foods and they made sure all my needs were met. They are renovating right now so we were diverted to differently areas for walking but once we g [... read more]ot used to it we were fine. The smell from the epoxy paint was very strong at times and gave me a headache a couple times but can't be helped when renovating. The beach was washed up so we had to go over and swim at the Royale next store. If you love to swim in the ocean and not walk far to do it this is not the place for you. However if you love the pool there was always something going on there and they did their best to keep everyone entertained. Would love to see the hotel when renovations are done. Thanks to staff for making us feel so welcome.

Samba Vallarta: Great time

It was our first time for being to the Samba Vallarta. We had a wonderful time. The staff are amazing, so kind, polite and helpful and always ready to greet you with a big friendly smile. It is a family resort, but the way the pools are designed, youngsters had their own area with little slides, etc. Perfect set up. The rooms are a little dated, but we found them to be clean and comfortable. The towels are not big, fluffy and sparkling white, but they were clean and to me that was  [... read more]what matter the most. Our room had an amazing view of the pools and the ocean. In regards to the food, I felt there was a good variety and one would never go hungry. The beach was clean, lots of seating. You can walk along the beach to the next town of Bucerias. I could go on and on, but to sum it up we would go back to this resort.

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.
