Grand Oasis Riviera: Quiet and Lovely!

We picked this resort for its smaller size, its closeness to Chichen Itza, but mostly for its advertisement as “the quiet resort”. We weren’t disappointed. Food was great, employees friendly and the coffee bar a great addition.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great Resort

We stayed in the adult only section of the resort, building 83. The rooms were spotless, large and the king size bed was very comfy. We had dinner at five a la carte restaurants all very good, the seafood restaurant Furtos del Mar was exceptional! Breakfast and lunch at the buffets offered many choices. Our only complaint with the resort was with the beach chairs in the adult only section. Although there were signs on each cabana stating no reserving, guest did so anyways and the staff did  [... read more]not monitor. Towels were placed on chairs and guests wouldn't show up for several hours later. We found after a few days we need to wake up at 6:00 am to reserve beach chairs, not much fun! Lastly, our check out time was at 7:00 am, it would have been nice if Air Transat Holidays worked with the hotel to ensure coffee and a light breakfast was available before we left the resort and drove 90 minutes to the airport.

Dreams Puerto Morelos Resort and Spa: Awesome!

From start to finish secrets was an amazing time.from the friendly staff to the great food and beautiful grounds. Your sure to love secrets silversands. I would definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Best location

Resort is good, very clean everywhere but with evarage service Prices in resort stores just out of mind. Service stuff is not really welcoming. Always looking for tips without doing a good jobs. Show level is really low and it is kind of boring atmosphere

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Best Location on the Bay

Our 7th trip to PV in 7 years. By far, the best location for sunsets on the bay. Located a bit south of town, it is a more expansive resort compared to other hotels in town, never felt crowded. The Hyatt has the best beach I've seen in the area, very private, great sand, a chair for everyone. There are several pools, more than other PV hotels, and you won't have a problem getting a lounger. The food is good, large buffet. The Asian restaurant was amazing. The staff are very friendly. We ha [... read more]d the most incredible maid service, pool side drinks kept coming, and I've never seen landscaping staff work so hard. The kids club, though not very attractive, has very caring, hard working ladies on staff and they have great programming for the kids. The Now Amber has a few more bells and whistles, but if you are looking for value and don't care to be right in town, this place is for you.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great Vacation!

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Riviera Paradise! The grounds were beautiful; very well kept; and clean. Staff was super friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed the food; especially our meals at Steakhouse and Blue Moon. We would love to return and will be recommending this resort to our friends and family.

Riu Emerald Bay: Beautiful resort - we loved it there!

We stayed on the 14th floor of this hotel and the view was spectacular! The room was nicely appointed, the maid service was excellent (note - hang your 'do not disturb' sign on your door if you like to sleep in because they start cleaning early - and they knock), and the common areas of the hotel were always spotless. The food in the buffet was varied and always hot - no complaints there at all. We tried the Asian restaurant and it was good as well - be aware that it is still buffet style whi [... read more]ch was a bit of a disappointment, but the food was good. We never made it into the steak house as only the 9 pm seatings were available when we tried to reserve. The buffet hosts a Mexican theme night anyways and it was great. Bar service was good - particularly the lobby bar - those guys are fabulous - my dirty monkey had "art" done in chocolate sauce on it. Very nice touch. The pools were a bit chilly for my liking, but once you got used to the water it was fine. The beach was very clean, and the beach hawkers were kept behind a certain line on the beach - if you wanted to purchase or shop their wares, you just crossed the rope, otherwise they did not bother you. If you wanted to walk the beach, we just exited at the side of the property and we were not bothered. The evening entertainment was okay - choose your seating carefully because the acoustics in the theatre are not great. We enjoyed the Mexican night the most. I would definitely return to this resort!

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Good value family vacation

Our family of four spent a week at the Sandos Playacar at the end of November. The Playacar Beach is fabulous, and we have previously stayed at other resorts in this area, without kids at the time, so our priorities for resort were different this time. Sandos Playacar was good value for our family vacation, with good quality food in both the buffet and a la carte restaurants. It is a very activity-oriented resort, with entertainment staff keeping things going on the beach from 10 am to 4 pm e [... read more]very day of the week, every day with a different themed beach experience. Other travelers might have loved this, but for our family of four, we would have liked having a quiet day on the beach, or a shorter program where there are a couple hours of sunlight available where it is quiet by the beach chairs. There was always music, games, and noise right in front of the section of the beach set aside for families, which got tiresome after about day 4. The beach section rooms are very conveniently located right where the main pool, beach, and buffet restaurant is, and from previous reviews, we knew they were tired and worn out, so it was something we were prepared to live with. Our boys (aged 6 and 8 years old) liked the arcade games. Overall a good choice for our family vacation.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Absolutly amazing!

This hotel was pure joy. Breathtakingly beautiful as well. We enjoyed every moment. Friendly staff and clean accommodations. I highly recommend this hotel. The tours were beautiful and very well organized. The staff was very helpful and always smiling. I have stayed here twice now. The pools were warm and the view was incredible. We will be going back as soon as we can!

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Excellent Resort

Second time to this resort and didn't disappoint again. Beach is very good, service and grounds were great and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We liked the restaurants but about the only complaint would be the quality of the food at the buffets for lunch and supper. It was good but not great. There is not a lot of entertainment at night (i.e. no shows and limited live bands), but I knew that going in. Lobby bar was usually hopping though. All round an excellent resort that will [... read more] not disappoint you.

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Incredible resort!

Five starts for this resort and we would go back in a minute. The hotel was beautiful, staff was incredibly friendly and the food was amazing. Only ding would be that it was hard to find the restaurants, maybe suggest a tour or distributing a map when you get there. Amazing, definitely recommend this resort!

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: The best of the best !

Just come back from our 8th visit in 10 years. It confirms of how we appreciate this hotel ! Wonderful grounds, staff, food, rooms and amenities. Great place for those who look for luxury in a relaxing place.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Great resort, best resort service I've ever experienced

The resort is spread out, 3 pools and the beach and there will be some walking. This balances well with the amazing food. If you need anything just ask. The staff will amaze you At every request, honest, just ask.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Nice Resort

This hotel is class A in every regard. rooms were clean,modern and spacious pools were warm, lots of chairs at pools and beach, waiter service for drinks were great both at the pools and beach. Omar was our favorite drink waiter at the pools. Great location, walking distance to the malecon. Food was good at buffet as well as the ala cartes. Staff were all friendly. Nightly shows were very entertaining. Would highly recommend

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Great stay

We had an excellent stay at the Fiesta Americana. The hotel is clean, well kept and comfortable. It is a smaller hotel, which we loved. Getting from your room to the beach was quick and easy. The staff are friendly and always will to help. We travelled with two small children (2-3) and found this resort was perfect for our needs. This is not a party resort; laid back and chill is more the atmosphere. The food was good. There was always something to eat for everyone’s tastes. I am a vegetar [... read more]ian and there were always options for me. We would stay here again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Many repeat guests

This was our second time. It is not a 5* resort but it is right for the price. Comfortable set up, older but clean. Food very good, lots to do (tennis, bikes, boards, games, close to village and shopping...), good entertainment. Great set up for adults, quiet block 6 and only adult pool by Block 5. Great for older people, families with children. They are getting the noisy air con units replaced - great! The public bathrooms could use an update but they keep them clean. Great staff, very pleasan [... read more]t atmosphere. If you go you will most likely return.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Amazing resort!!

The resort and hotel is amazing!! Very well kept and clean! The beach is amazing! The food was great! I love how you can go eat anywhere, use any pool, etc. It's great for adults or families. We totally loved it and would definitely return.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: First Visit

We enjoyed that this is a smaller resort than ones previously visited. It is well laid out so that you never feel crowded.The beach was beautiful - long and wide! You have to be there before 10 am to get a seat. There seems to be too many palapas for privilege which are not utilized and not enough for regular guests. We liked the centralized restaurant/bar area. You could easily move from dinner to drinks to entertainment. We also liked that fact that there were I reservations, just  [... read more]show up and if they're busy you get a buzzer. The food at the buffets was always cold, never hot. The food at the restaurants was okay to good, we found nothing fabulous. Our original room was in a terrible location, noisy with lots of traffic and noisy people passing so it was hard to sleep. We eventually were able to get a room change and upgraded to a quieter lovely room. We would visit again but it would definitely depend on the price.

Riu Santa Fe: 5 star experience

Clean. Great food especially the steak house Beaches are a little gnarly but that is cabo for ya Loved it. Pretty short walk to cabo by beach or take the mexican adventure meaning the public bus for one dollar. It was super fun at the warf and cabo wabo which is owned by sammy hagar

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Still good but needs help

The resort is maintained nicely and food is good. The rooms however are very tired and need to be renovated. We've been coming here for 20 years and not one thing has been done to them. The rooms are dark with poor lighting. Some small tweaks would improve them. The 2nd major complaint are the beach/pool lounges. They need cushions. After laying or sitting on them - you feel crippled getting off them. People buy inflatable pool mattresses or bring foam from home. You shouldnt have to do this com [... read more]ing to a vacation resort. Apparently the beachfront rooms have been renovated - but these rooms are near a late night bar - and in a louder area of the resort. If these two things are not important to someone - the resort is great. Nice pools, a nice variety of ala carte restaurants and the people who work there are so friendly, nice and helpful
