Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Simply Amazing!

In December 5 of us girlfriends went to Iberostar Paraiso Beach and all of us were amazed at the service we received!! Everyone was happy to help us out and we felt so welcomed. The entertainment was AWESOME, from shows every night to activities on the beach and at the pool. We had SO much fun :) Would highly recommend this to anyone!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great place

This hotel is awesome for the price, really cheap for a 5 star resort. Great fishing from shore walking distance from resort. The beach is just a collection of water breaks designed to slow the waves down, not very appealing, ok for kids. to rough outside of breaks to snorkel. The only other complaint I have is the premier staff are always out in the middle of the entrance ways hounding the guests to attend there package meeting. We were accosted multiple times a day, to the point we started  [... read more]to avoid the area, and really only went thru that zone when we were going to eat at the buffet. all in all a great place to go will be going back for years to come.

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Second time and still great

We are a family of five and Kantenah rooms fit all of us. Really enjoyed the resort, food and excursions. The kids really love the white nosed coaties We came three years ago and plan to come again in the future.

Grand Oasis Sens: It was our honeymoon and it was one of the best vacations we have had!

We stayed at Temptation from November 21st to the 28th for our honeymoon and we were not totally sure what to expect based on the online reviews. First few days we partied hard and made some new friends. The whole place is amazing and we loved the new décor. General We stayed on the fifth floor in Bash tower, our room was large with a huge king size bed, there was a walk in shower, the room was a very clean and modern. Food What can we say about the food, it was all excellent. Loved [... read more] the daily sushi bar at the buffet. As far as ala cart's go "She" and the Italian were our favorites. Staff The staff were amazing always willing to help make you feel welcome, Very friendly and always smiling. The third day we were there they decorated our room with rose pedals, chocolate strawberries, towel swans on the bed and a honeymoon banner on the door. Overally The place is truly amazing and we will definitely be returning, but there was one thing we'd like to see: Other than the honeymoon decorations there were no other days they did the towel are and my wife truly missed that.Foam party was so much fun, we loved every minute of our stay, the entertainment team made it that more special. We came prepared with costumes and took total advantage of the theme nights, this was my favorite part! They could possibly consider changing the theme night line up from time to time. This was one of our best holidays yet, we partied like rock stars and had so much fun, we miss all of our new friends already. We are looking forward to another Temptation Vacation in 2019, hopefully the new one will be open in Punt Cana. We will be back., A & A

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Beautiful resort in the jungle

We just returned from a week away at this resort. Overall we had a fantastic holiday. We opted for the package which allows for unlimited access to the Xcaret park which we took full advantage of visiting many times both day and night. We are a family of 4 with two children ages 5 and 8. Pros: Resort is very clean and grounds are beautiful. It is secluded and there are no other resorts in site. It feels very safe and you can walk it easily. Lots of animal to be seen around including monkeys, [... read more] coatis etc. Ample pools and chairs available. Pools are a little cold but ok. Food was decent and there is a good choice of restaurants. No booking required. The beach buffet is in a beautiful setting. Some more variation in the food would be good but overall we found lots to eat. No illness. We heard complaints about booze being watered down but this is pretty standard in Mexico. Service was friendly and attentive. Staff at kids club were very kind to children. Beach- it's a man made beach and quite small. It's a cove which worked well for us and there were no waves so children could swim safely. Other beaches in the area are much more beautiful but the undercurrent can be strong. Xcaret park is incredible. Tons to do. There are lots of optimal extras but we didn't do any and still loved the park. Cons- Some hassle to attend time share demos. We did attend and weren't given any hassle when we said a firm no. Beach loungers get snatched up quickly. Need to reserve early morning. Rooms are quite small. Typical hotel rooms rather than suites. No bath. Overall a lovely resort. More suited to families who want to attend Xcaret.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Absolutely an amazing resort

We loved the intimate size of the resort. We love to snorkel, great here. We love to play beach volleyball, excellent. The entertainment crew is incredible. We are already looking at returning to this resort.

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
