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!

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Very clean

4 resorts in one. Disappointed that we were downgraded from the one we selected to the resort in the total opposite end which limited activities I planned. It’s a long walk if you’re able to make it. The buffet food was great. No beach service. Not enough beach or pool chairs available unless you “claimed” them at 630 am. Also there is not enough a la carte restaurants for the size of the resort and I’m sure resort was not at full capacity. I wouldn’t expect to get into the 4 allotted especiall [... read more]y during peak times. We managed to get in after complaining. We were told that even with premium package there is no guarantees.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Bed bugs (according to the Dr)

First, we have stayed at this Hilton before and the front line staff (housekeeping, entertainment, groundskeeping, maintenance, service) are outstanding - always very friendly and helpful and the location is also excellent. Unfortunately we had a very poor experience. A few days into our stay I noticed a few bites on my lower legs, I didn't think anything of it and then a few more days went by with more bites and I decided to get some "after bite" thinking it was mosquito's or something. It p [... read more]rogressively got worse - By day 5 we were both getting bites and by days 6 we were covered by about 40 bites mostly on the lower legs and the itchiness was awful. During one of our walks we noticed a local 24hr Dr's office and decided to go have it looked at - we didnt say where we were staying or what we thought they were - without hesitation the Dr said Bed Bugs..we said are you sure, he said yes. When this was brought to managements attention (3 different managers), the first one immediately said we didn't follow their reporting protocol and even suggested we brought the bed bugs in our luggage, the other two were basically repeating the same response or saying nothing at all - there was no dialogue, they just listened and nodded (not sure why the second two even asked to speak to us). We tried to show each of them all the bites on our legs and they wouldn't even look....I showed the Dr's medical report, the prescriptions (Celestamine and Ivermectina) and the receipt for the Dr's visit. Not once did they even say we are sorry this happened or how can we help, it was all about not acknowledging the problem. We even offered to see their Dr and give them our luggage but they said no. They did switch our room (it was the last night) and when I asked if they were fumigating the room we stayed in they wouldn't answer except to say they are following protocol. I am not posting the pictures of the bites or Dr's report or Managers names but we have everything if anyone at the Hilton cares. We don't know if this is an isolated occurrence but to be so easily dismissed and actually blamed at what we believed was a very nice hotel is extremely disappointing. Fortunately there are many other options in the area to consider for our next visit. Good luck if you stay at the Hilton PDC

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen: Party Central

Great hotel if you don’t want ocean beach to lay on and are into social gatherings and like to party. Very nice staff, very clean and spacious junior suite room, food is average, but again, there was no ocean/beach front to lay on - you only have the pool. The advertising of this resort is a lie.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Amazing trip!

I thought the hotel was beautiful. I had a room in the Eden bldg which had a swim up. Couldn't have asked for better. Everyone was super respectful and kind. Food was good. Has a coffee shop and the ladies were fantastic. Guest services was phenomenal! I wish I could remember all their names but as I can't I'd like to give a huge thanks for all they did for me.

Catalonia Riviera Maya: mini moon

We came for a mini moon, and had a great time! Weather was meh with some cloudy rainy days, but it wasn’t the snowy north! Even with the rain lots to do with nightly entertainment and food we’re SO SO GOOD! Bartenders were friendly and the PURE bar made the best drinks! Also the location of this resort is great as you can leave to explore playa adventures and feel safe doing so!

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Cant Wait to go back!

Everything was great, the beach was not as expcted. is it as wide and white as other places NO but it was clean and the kids were playing. Seaweed was minimal and people were cleanign it up! The food was AMAZING, so many options and never went hungry. Definitely eat that the beach restaurant - pizza, nachos and fish tacos were great and the view was unforgettable. The staff was always helpful, people came aroudn askign if you wanted drinks and cleaning up dirty cups all day. We stayed at th [... read more]e Daisy, without kids and went to the Eden during the day. Room had no issues, AC worked, bed was good and lots of pillows. Mikes coffee shop was great for coffee any time and all day. I cant wait to go back

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Good resort.

The hotel needs some updating. Lots of paint peeling in the bathrooms and the shower in our room needed to be updated. The biggest problem we had was the slow service in the hotel. This is not a five star hotel. I would rate as a 4 star.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great Staff at this resort

The rooms are a bit dated if you get the junior suite, but they do the trick. Good for sleeping and getting ready for the day. The food was great. You will not go hungry here. The service staff were amazing. Always attentive. Don’t fall for the privilege club sales pitch. Unless you have tens of thousands to spend to be a member and want to waste your time in the sun being hounded. Say no thank you and move on. Great pools. Always can find a spot. Massages in the spa were amazing.

Barcelo Maya Riviera: We loved this resort!

Rooms were beautiful. hotel is very modern not the fun tropical vibe of the other barcelo resorts. We enjoyed being able to walk through all 6 resorts and trying some of the other restaurants. Being in the adult only was nice - quieter dining, beach and pool weren't as busy. Food was fantastic. Pools. Beach and gardens were beautiful. Would 100% recommend this resort and would return in the future. .

Riu Tequila: Riu Tequila: Still Awesome

This resort to me is still truly awesome. Location is excellent, heavily secure gated community in the heart of Playacar. The facilities are showing a little of its experience. but all in all I believe it adds character and ambience of a well-established resort. STAFF is still biggest asset. They are so friendly, polite, helpful and aid in helping you feel comfortable, secure and happy. All areas are very clean and manicured to perfection Resort lobby and the room in which I stayed were spotless [... read more], just lovely. Food is terrific, expertly prepared and plenty of choices. Beach is a very short walk away or shuttle service is offered. 150 pesos gets you taxi service to the famous 5th avenue, Music and entertainment is still very colorful and energetic. Very very easy place to relax and unwind or to dance and party. I shall return!!!

Dreams Riviera Cancun: NOT A 5 STAR!!

Staff was fantastic, grounds very well kept, FOOD WAS LACKING, BUFFET WAS HORRIBLE. Alcohol selection was good to very good, but not exceptional. Would hesitate to visit another Dreams property since The Hyatt has become involved. Just not deserving of a 5 star rating.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya: Incredible!

My husband, two friends and I just returned from 7 days at this resort. For my husband and I, it was our first time staying at an all inclusive resort, but our friends had been to multiple in the past, just to give some context! We had an incredible time and can't wait to go back! Pro's: - Rooms are stunning and very comfortable - Food in general was of excellent quality. Portions are small but you can just order more! - Beach is fantastic and is maintained better than any of the reso [... read more]rts around it. Water is warm and the swells were not too big when we were there - We loved the entertainment! Especially the silent disco, the "rock show", and the newlywed game. The entertainment team are hilarious and take time to remember you! - The pool and pool bar were so great. An excellent vibe, not too much of a party atmosphere but also not too quiet and boring. The pool was the perfect temperature. - Lots of loungers, we never struggled to find 4 together even later in the morning - Room service was awesome, they definitely read the "comments" and made sure you got what you wanted - The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and made you feel very much like you were a special guest. I also witnessed lots of laughing and banter between staff, and they were very strict on their shift ending times which makes me think they are treated very well, which was important to my group and part of the reason why I had never been to an all inclusive - The coffee shop was awesome and a really nice touch - The rooms were kept spotlessly clean by housekeeping - Check in was smooth and fast, as was check out Cons: - I am vegan, and although there were definitely more vegan options than I expected, there was still very little. Some restaurants had absolutely zero options. Most places did make me something special though. - There are technically only 4 restaurants for dinner, and they aren't all open at the same time. Over the busier weekend period, this meant we were waiting for a long time to eat. This was a bit of an issue for me, the vegan, as I couldn't just grab snacks from the coffee shop - You can not eat on your balcony at all. This is not the resorts fault, this is because you get absolutely surrounded by very brave large birds!! It's cool if you like wildlife, but somewhat unsettling! - Our friends were in room 406 and they had absolutely no view. As in, they were looking at a wall. Their room was also very noisy. Our room, 247, was great and actually had a view of the sea without paying the extra price! - The moment you check in, a very nice and not very pushy person (genuinely!) approaches you about going to "not a timeshare" presentation the next day, in exchange for lots of vouchers. We did not go, but we talked to someone who did and they said that the "not timeshare" was absolutely ridiculously expensive ($450k USD!!!) and they were kept for much longer than the 1.5hrs promised. - The liquor was definitely watered down. Even brand name did not look or taste the same which was unfortunate. The cocktails are good for the most part, but they don't live up to expectations due to the weak liquor. It definitely affects the taste. If you are someone who enjoys cocktail bars, these will be a let down. Overall, we had a fantastic time and it served exactly the purpose we wanted: it was relaxing and super fun, and we met really amazing people. The size of the resort was such a huge plus as it really felt personal. I will definitely be returning!

Catalonia Royal Tulum: Lovely Resort

The best features of this resort are the beautiful beach and friendly staff! It's a quiet resort set in the jungle with lots of wildlife to enjoy. The resort is very clean and well maintained. Beloved is the best restaurant with good food - our favourite was the skirt steak. However, Beloved has a leisurely pace so not the place to go if you are in a hurry. The theme restaurants and buffet have great service and average food. There was a variety of activities during the day and some entertainm [... read more]ent every night. The privilege deluxe room was nice and the bathroom has great counter space. However the water pressure in the shower is low and hot water was not consistently available in our room. Also the air conditioning in our room seemed inadequate.The indoor restaurants were also quite warm. Our biggest concern was the lack of hot water to shower. I think there is also room for improvement with food.

Sensira Resort and Spa: Overall good stay

Great things about this resort .. easy to navigate , clean rooms , fun activities for kids , staff working very hard ,beautiful view from room that I didn’t pay extra for , food was over all good , close to airport , tea house wonderful coffee and ice cream Negatives: pools could have been warmed more ( not sure if it was the time of year /cooler snap), could have been more people cleaning plates and dishes around pool, only hot tub on adults side, seaweed issue /smaller beach

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Amazing resort

My review of the resort is a little long, When i booked this resort, I started to read reviews on different sites and at times made me concerned but did not change as I remember that so many people complain about almost everything. So at the airport it was about 45 minutes to get through immigration and 45 for luggage. We then went and looked for Canada Transfer(highly recommend) and off we went. We arrived at the resort 5:15 pm and check in was all together 20 minutes and we upgraded to renov [... read more]ated room in block 10 and was a great location and close to all things. DO NOT look at the weather forecast as it can change every 20 minutes, yes we had cloud, rain and tons of sun and the wind was storng most days. The main pool was our to go area 1st few days but then we stayed in the area but went to the pool above the main and was quiet but you could still here the music which was nice. The entertainment staff(Erick, Alejandro) make it so fun for all guest of all ages and are a huge asset to this resort. The beach was very nice and I would say if you want water shoes use them but I found you will be just fine if you don't have them, also very little seaweed most days, the last 2 days there it was bad due to the very strong winds but they are cleaning before the sun is up and do the best they can. The food was good, we did 3 al a cartes, 1st was mikado and the food was just okay but the chef was a 10/10 forgot his name. 2nd was tequila and i was not a fan but my wife said 10/10 and 3rd was Don Pablo and would give it a 10/10 and staff were very good. The buffet Yukatan was good, had so much choice and never ran out of food like some people have said in reviews. We had Edwin almost every meal we had there and he makes it even better as he treats you like his own family. We did the bracelet upgrade for use of all resorts and I would say if you need it do or just book Akumal to start with, I was giving a deal but did not use it enough as we had more than enough stuff to do at Tulum. Also the animals are everywhere but makes the trip to see them and never felt on safe as they leave you alone and you leave them alone. So to end this review off, is this a 5* resort no, but I would give a huge 4* and if you are on the fence ignore everything you read and go as you will regret not going as this was our 1st time in Mexico and would come back for sure to this resort. Any question message and will do my best to help with it.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Love tripcentral.ca and how they organize their site

I really appreciate 'tripcentral'. It was easy to select a trip and hotel because of how they lay out their data. I'll never use another site. We were also assigned an agent Jim O'Neill that we personally worked with. He was fantastic and guided us every step of the way and also provided us additional information. Hotel was the best experience I ever had. The food was incredible and everything else!
