Barcelo Maya Tropical: Had a great time

Everything was great, food, beach, etc. the only issue was the maya mall, where there is a carousel that is so loud it’s hard to be there. I wanted to buy jewellery but couldn’t stay there. I actually cancelled a restaurant reservation due to the fact I knew I’d have a headache again if I went back there. Why is it so loud? The poor employees must be suffering.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Lovely and Safe Hotel

Grounds well maintained, customers listened to and accommodated when possible. Responsive to inquires and many questions. Friendly and professional. Staff are diligent, polite and very hard working. Would go again.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: Solid 4 star

This was my 4th trip to thr property and I do love it. The brach is nothing to write home.about, it's rocky and definitely not the "long moonlit walks on the beach place. The food at the buffet was varied, breakfast and lunch had the best selecrions, dinner was kind of repetative Of the a al cartes, i dont usuly go to them as im fond of food from a local pub, ww did wat out at the burger once this visit and it was very food. From previous trips there i know the a la cartes to be nice. Ser [... read more]vice is excellent except rhey could use one more FT bartender at the swim up bar on the RM sIde just to attend to the walk ups. Overall it's a good resort in a pretty and safe location and I will come back again.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Family Vacation

The check in to the Diamond Club was by far the worst experience we have had in the many Royaltons we have vacationed at. Two hours to check in and they didn't have the rooms we had requested. They over booked! The food, staff, butler service , drinks were very good. The grounds , lobby. and main bar area was terrific. The resort is very large when you include the adult only section, however, getting around the complex was fairly easy.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Great place

We enjoyed our week complaint free I would recommend to friends Looks like a good place for children Pool was clean and there was lots to do if you didn’t want to just sit by the pool we will go back again next year

Barcelo Maya Palace: Great expansive resort complex

The grounds of this resort are immaculate. Be prepared for a lot of walking. Would not recommend for someone with limited mobility. Specialty restaurants are first class and we dined at one of them every evening for 10 days. Buffets were adequate. Something for everyone. Excellent friendly staff. Be sure to tip them for their hard work and overall a great experience

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Again...The Best!!

Arrived January 9th 2025 for a spectacular 7 days. Check-in, a breeze. Very courteous. Luggage brought to the room in an instant. The room was clean, fresh smelling and all amenities were in order. We were in a Jr swim Up suite. Bldg #4. Fantastic location. Pool was perfect temp. We were in the middle of everything. Main (Foam party) pool...but off the beaten path for quiet. Drinks were generous (bring your own drinking vessel). Bring a floatie and water shoes. Most of the activities were around [... read more] this main pool. The quiet area was Bldg 5 swim up bar area. Still, a great place to unwind. The food!!!! OMG!! Eat at Bruschetta and Kotatsu. The buffet also had everything to your liking... The snack bar at the beach had great burgers and fries for those in between or missed meals. If you do anything...GET a Deep Tissue Massage from Isabel...Wow...just Wow!! When you go to the buffet...ask for FANNIE's section. She is the best at her position. Always attentive and remembers all the little things (English breakfast tea, no milk...right there when we go for our dessert) The cons...and there are just a few...could be a big deal if this is what you absolutely MUST HAVE.. The beach...lack lustre. The sargasm only came up once...so it's not that. We are at an adult resort. The only place to swim is about 1km walk along the beach to the family section. The water is beautiful. but, full of kids with unattentive parents. There is an area with VIP "Blue Towels" that is roped off...it was near empty. We paid for VIP services at our Resort but were not able to access this prime area. This made our beach visit down to 3 days of 7. COCO BONGO---DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$$...crowded to unsafe fire code. Food was hot dogs from a fridge, slider burger was 1/2oz patty...fries were from a rancid oil fryer. AWFUL. The entertainment was terrible...Old ripped costumes of super heroes, The acts would come out in the 1 hour line up to take a pic with YOUR camera and then ask for money?? The QUEEN Lip Sync was cheesy, at best. The dancers costumes were in disrepair. Price 477.00 CAN. I am sure we could have dealt it down a little more. But that was what we paid. I know this is not part of the beach, pool, food...but they are allowed to sell this rip off on the resort, so they are responsible. Really put a sour taste because there are some great excursions...This is NOt one of them. All in All...We will Return...Can't wait...wish we stayed 2 weeks.

Dreams Sapphire Resort and Spa: Not as advertised

We went to this resort as it is owned by a very well known international Hotel chain that operates over 60 + resorts in Mexico, Caribbean and Overseas. The stock picture from the Dreams website was impressive, the room that we started with was not even close to reality, we confronted the issue with the front desk and we were graciously upgraded to a new section called Indigo. The initial cost of the Preferred room was not worth the additional cost, and the resort itself is in very sad tired con [... read more]dition. At best I would think that this resort should get a 3 star rating at best, food was average and service was the same and we would never GO BACK.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Very busy

We paid for an ocean view, all we saw were trees and the swimming pool. 3 separate front desk staff would not help us. We were 3 adults. It took almost 2 full days to get a third chair for our balcony. All vacationers must have gotten up at 3am to put a towel on all the chairs. We were able to sit at the pool only once during our 7 day stay. The beach chairs were close to the same. Mostly the food was OK in the specialty restaurants, but the in the buffet food was barely warm. Overall, a [... read more] very disappointing Royalton experience

El Dorado Royale: good trip

this was a very nice resort, not a great beach though you can't really go into the water in front of the resort because its too choppy and there is big cement barriers in the water, did a day trip twice to the sister resort Moroma beach and it was amazing, found out on our last day from our taxi driver that there is lots of other stuff to do at our resort such as horse rides, cenotes etc that no one at our resort even told us about, it was tough to get fresh towels daily and some days they didn' [... read more]t even clean our rooms. You must make dinner reservations the very first day you arrive or you will have trouble getting in for dinner as they don't have a daily buffet restaurant, we had a larger group so it was a bit of a struggle and a few of our reservations got messed up. overall we had a great time because of the people we went with but I would likely not return here

Unico 20 87 Hotel Riviera Maya: Beautiful resort, perhaps not worth the price

I have been to Mexico about 8 times over the past dozen years, and I keep coming back to try new resorts as it always delivers sun, good food, and charming people to meet. Unico 20 87 was a resort I would not recommend for the price we paid. The good points included the resort itself, the rooms, the beach and the music/vibe. The resort was clean and modern, very nice. The basic room was very comfortable and stylish; looking at the swim outs below, I wish I had chosen one of them for that [... read more] feature. The music was upbeat and modern, a change from most other resorts. It gave the resort a youthful, but sophisticated vibe. And the pool area was a lot of fun, with live DJ on most days. The beach was one of the nicest I've been to in the riviera, clean and very swimmable. Some areas near cancun have waves that make it difficult to swim out in. The cons included the food not being consistently good, the watery drinks, and the staff morale. The food was hit or miss; I had some delicious meals; I had some I didn't want to finish. Examples included a hockey puck for a tuna steak, beef tacos full of fat and no real meat, and soggy nachos. The drinks served at the pool and beach are undoubtedly watered down; I spoke with quite a few other people and they agreed. There was no real flavour, even the juices felt watered down. And if you asked for a double shot, you still had zero taste of the alcohol. I ended up switching to beer, which was warm by the time you got it on the beach. I love going to mexico because I find the workers lively and friendly, even though this is hard work in hot weather for them. But almost every single staff member at Unico looked sad, rushed..... Literally, everyone but maybe 3 of them I met. Other resort-goers that I spoke to agreed, and even the staff on the bus that picked us up noticed it. They just look ... Depressed. I've never seen anything like it. I know it's hard work and long hours, but I've not seen unhappiness to this degree. The above negative points make me wonder what the company is doing top-down, to make the staff unhappy? The resort LOOKS beautiful, but these things make me wonder if it's cost-saving corner cutting going on behind the scenes. For these reasons, I would not recommend this hotel at the price we paid. We've gone to Haven Riviera Cancun and I would 1000% recommend that resort in lieu; the only thing Haven is missing is the modern vibe and fun pool that Unico has. It was the most expensive 1 weeker for us to-date, and we've had better experiences elsewhere.

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Wonderful time at this resort

The staff were very kind and responsive. The room was very clean and nice. The food was delicious with lots of choices. We felt really spoiled by the wonderful service. However we learned that the resort was only half full so likely the staff were not too overwhelmed. The beach was our favourite spot to hang out. Would consider a repeat visit.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: G R E A T

The Rooms were really nice, I had heard there was never hot water, but yes there is, just not as hot as we are use to in Canada. I felt the welcome meeting could have given us more information about things to do on the resort, currency, smoking areas, restaurants, meal times, etc. They were more concerned with outside trips. But some staff and other vacationers were awesome in filling in the gaps. Good shows, but no kids shows. And lack of information of where and when events were happening [... read more]. Also, we could have checked out later from our room at 20$ a hour but was never told of this option even though my ride left at 530. Definitely lack of information given. But overall a great trip, beautiful. Oh, and I never ever saw my maid or had any interaction with her/him.

Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Excellent in every way!

This was our second time staying at a Melia Peradisus resort and we have decided that this is the only brand we will use for future vacations. The accommodations, the staff, the service, the food, and the value were the best we have ever experienced at any resort. Thank You Melia Peradisus Playa Del Carmen.

Grand Sunset Princess: Nice resort but too much coatis!

Nothing négative to mention about this hotel regarding food and facilities. Rooms are a bit outdated. Two negative points worth mentioning are rocky beach and really too much coatis. They are everywhere, some entering garbage cans, others stealing food directly from plates and even one was seen biting a woman while trying to eat a taco at the pool.

Viva Azteca by Wyndham: Beautiful compact resort

Beautiful well maintained grounds, very very clean resort, staff are constantly cleaning and upkeeping all areas of the resort, food was very good with plenty of proteins and fresh fruit. Enjoyed the Cafe with coffees and delicious deserts. Snack bar had great lunch menu. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Liked how close beach was to pool area.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Sandos Playacar

The beach and grounds were absolutely lovely! There were always enough chairs available by the beach and at all the pools. The rooms were great with a pool and a hot tub behind each hacienda. We had a few water issues...one day only cold water, and one day only hot water. Also the hot tub was not hot for a few days. Repairs were carried out fairly quickly after a service request was made. One of our group required medical services, which was prompt and excellent quality. We fou [... read more]nd that food which should have been hot was sometimes only luke warm. Cold foods were consistently cold. Food was tasty with the exception of the Mexican restaurant which was, with the exception of the appetizer, quite bland and served luke warm. The beach lunch buffet was particularly good. We used room service twice which was also good.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful resort!

This is an absolutely amazing resort. The rooms were as stated, large & clean. The service was great. We had a problem with our safe and someone came within 5 minutes to help us. Always had clean towels, fridge was stocked daily. The main buffet was huge, clean and had wonderful friendly staff. We ate at a different restaurant every night and every one of them was fantastic. Beach and all the pools were great. The infinity pool was our favorite. Can't say enough about this resort. We loved it.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: 2 nd time there!

I have travelled to many resorts all over the Caribbean… but this resort by far stands out… enough to return a 2 nd time! So clean/food is good/staff is wonderful But above all it is stunningly beautiful!

Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel: Perfect getaway from it all

If you need to completely unwind from the world, this is the place. Quiet and secluded. No loud music or annoying entertainment. Clean, very friendly staff, beautifully presented and tasting food. No buffets. You feel like you are alone on an entire resort.
