NYX Hotel Cancun: Honest Review

This resort met our expectations based on the price we paid. Rooms: We were in an un-renovated Junior Suite - These suites are advertised as having a balcony and ocean view. We did not have a balcony and all of our windows were located on public stairwells (so we had to keep our blinds closed the entire week). The first night our air conditioner didn't work but that was promptly fixed. However, our room smelled of strong sewer for 3 of the days. Front desk staff were a waste of time. I spo [... read more]ke with them most days as to the condition of our room and they were very rude and extremely unhelpful. These employees were the worst part of the resort experience. It seems that they deal with dissatisfied customers regularly and have become desensitized to the situation. Very frustrating. The beach and wait staff were incredible and made our vacation! These people work incredibly hard to please everyone and deserved all the tips they received. Food and drinks from your beach chair was a huge plus! The Nachos were amazing! The food was average. The fresh egg station at breakfast was great but the rest of the breakfast options were lacking. Lunch was the best meal! There was a large menu to order from and was very tasty. There was no buffet at lunch but this wasn't an issue for us. Dinner was the worst meal of the day. There was a small buffet with appetizers and desserts but the rest of the dinner was a menu with limited options each night (generally 5 options based on a theme). Italian was the one night that we enjoyed the main course. The drinks were great! Always had great flavour and a large variety of options. The main pool was older but right on the beach and was warm. There was no swim up bar but this was not an issue for us. The waves were large on the beach (but it's Cancun and thats to be expected). I was up with the sunrise each morning so getting beach chairs and shade were not an issue for us. But if you are not an early riser you will struggle to find shade (most chairs with shade were taken by about 7am). Overall, I would consider going to this resort again, but only if we were guaranteed a renovated master suite. I would not go to an un-renovated room again.

Best service we have ever experienced at all inclusive. Rooms Spotless Room service great and prompt Staff can't do enough for you Every meal was great They had live Music everyday in the afternoon at main pool Which we loved !

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Something for everyone

We enjoyed our stay at Iberostar!!! We stayed 10 days in April 2017 The resort is HUGE, so it literally has something for everyone. The staff was first rate!! Everyone from cleaning staff to the night lobby staff went out of their way to help and always with a smile! Good food!? Wow.. GREAT food! and first class service at every restaurant and the buffets! This place cost a little more but wow they deliver a first class vacation!

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Amazing Resort

We all feel that this resort is a 9 out of 10. The grounds were always kept clean at all times. The food was amazing and the shows were very enjoyable. The only negative thought we have is that there was a lot of walking between restaurants for someone who had to use a walker or wheelchair. We were welcomed with a complementary gift.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Awesome vacation

The staff were amazing,great service, clean rooms and good food. All the à la carte restaurants were good except the Mexican restaurant was just ok. Rosie from the lobby bar is excellent and made our vacation. Edwardo the consierge was also amazing. I would recommend this resort to friends and would go again

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Great week away at the Royalton!!!

Stayed at the Hideaway section of the Royalton. Great service and food, several a la cart options and no reservations required with no limit restrictions. Beautiful beach but unfortunately there was quite a bit of seaweed but resort did their best to keep the shore line clean. Ocean water beyond their control. Beautiful rooms and well maintained resort.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Perfect vacation

Absolutely nothing to complain about ... Flights were on time Hotel was way above expectations Food was great every meal of every day. Pool and beach fantastic. Weather phenomenal and sunsets amazing. We got a very good last minute price but even at full price this place would not disappoint. If I had to whine about something just so anyone reading this doesn't think it's a fake review I would say the beds kinda sucked. Super loud diaper like mattress covers that were sewn on. And the [... read more] pull out couch bed for my daughter was pretty brutal. Not dirty or anything. Just really poor quality. And some ppl might think I'm weird. But sometimes the service was " too attentive". If u know what i mean. Every single person who works there asks you if everything is ok at every moment in time. I'm assuming there are some that will love this. For me it's almost over the top. But they're genuine. And very friendly and helpful. Best resort I've ever been to in Mexico. And I've been to a lot

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Fabulous resort

We got an upgrade a free upgrade a junior suite to the Del Mar location at the resort! It was a 2 minute walk to the pool and beach. Fabulous resort, spectacular pool, great choice of restaurants. Great entertainment. Was disappointed with the beach because of overwhelming amount of seaweed----resort worked really hard to try and clean it up however it was impossible due to amount ----

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an Don Pablo Collection was a mixed experience.

Pros: Originally destined to stay at Coba but got upgraded to Sian Kaan for free. Nice relaxing pools Landscape and grounds were immaculate Beach had lots of chairs Beer and liquor minibar in the fridge, restocked once a day. Food was great, both buffet and ala carte Cons: Waited over 5 hours upon arrival to get my room, didn't get it until 5pm Next to impossible to book a reservation at the ala carte resteraunts, got lucky with two rsvp. Ala Carte restaurants are fully booked each n [... read more]ight, but half the tables are empty. Most Bars close super early. 6pm Need to take a trolly to get anywhere. 10 min ride to the beach. Some of the guests were absolutely rude. The trolly sometimes comes once every 30 mins, if you have dinner reservations at 8pm, you better leave at 7pm.

Riu Flamingos: Great short getaway

My sister and I went for a 4 night stay. The location, beach, and pools were great! The rooms and restaurants were a 6/10. The beach is very sandy and has beautiful views of the mountains. There is an adult pool and kids pool, however the children do go to both. There are many bars and bar carts located throughout the pool area. The buffet restaurants had the best food whereas the themed ones did not live up to our expectations. Our room had a strange odour and our sheets/ clothes were alway [... read more]s damp. For a short trip, it's a good value and stay.

Riu Flamingos: Beautiful & Amazing resort!!

The room was very nice lots of room & comfortable bed, Dinning area had lots of selections and food was amazing 😉! The grounds were very well kept clean & there was always someone cleaning up after everyone! I would definitely return to this resort!! If you go on any tours while there be sure and ask for Pancho Ochoa he was the best! Nexustourptovallarta.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Loads of Fun!

The hotel was always clean with plenty of staff to cater to our needs. The food was good and fresh with many choices and variety. The pools were abundant and clean as well. This was a very family friendly resort. My family travelled together with 5 adults and 5 children with 4 of them under 4 years old. We were accommodated at every turn making our stay a pleasure. If I was to say one negative thing about the resort was that the tiles around the pool were very slippery when they were wet i [... read more]n combination with bare feet. Children, adults, elderly and many drunk people fell around us as the day progressed. It would be good if something were done about that. However with flip flops on it was fine!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: it is a beautifull resort

the hotel was wonderfull the food great at the buffets some of the special resteraunts not teriffic the cleaseness was excellent our only complaint was the water their lawns with sewer water that was areal turn off we would be sitting buy the pools and all u smelled was sewer they should be doing this at night not while we are sitting there

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Good Resort- Huge

Pros - This was a good resort but very large. The pools were amazing, food great, staff excellent every where. We were upgraded from the Beach Resort to Del Mar closest building to the beach Building # 11 Cons - Beach was full of seaweed the entire week. Water too rough to swim in and beach not really nice to take a long walk on due to the seaweed. Staff worked very hard to clean it up with tractors but that wasn't enough to clear it up. Pool chairs also was a problem daily as people rese [... read more]rved chairs as early as 6 am and by the time you come down for breakfast as large as the resort was you could not get one chair. The problem being is that people put towels on the chairs and then you don't see them the whole day. They go to the beach. One day we had to sit on the cement on our towels and complained to Guest Services. They gave us a bottle of champagne and strawberries.

Tukan Hotel Playa Del Carmen: Return Visit

Just returned from a weeks stay at El Tukan. This was my second visit to El Tukan and my wifes first.Check in was quick. Staff was helpful and friendly. No frills kind of place. Room was clean and an ample space for us. Small pool with loungers on grounds with loungers.Outdoor changeroom and restroom if you have to check out and wait around this is nice as you can still hang around the pool area.Free wifi worked in room as well. Tv had one english language channel available if that matters.Haird [... read more]ryer in room as well as a keyed safe. AC worked very well. El Tukan has a jungle feel that drowns out most of the hustle and bustle of Quinta Avenida which is where this is located. Right in the heart of Playa del Carmens 5th Avenue tourist strip.Maid service was great everyday. We look forward to our return primarily for its location and value pricing. We stayed with no meal or drink package included, however food and drink packages are available. We do not drink much and we used El Tukan as a hub.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: An excellent resort

The lobby/bar/stage area was very nice and there was always room to sit comfortably in the sun or shade. The staff were friendly and quick to provide whatever you require. The food, drink and hot beverage selection was excellent. The resort grounds were clean, easy to navigate and were very appealing visually. All 4 pools were very relaxing and comfortable. The shuttle service comes frequently so it was never more than a 10 minute wait to travel to Akumal, Tulum, Coba or the beach.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Azul Fives by Karisma

Hotel was very nice, dining options were excellent, facilities were great, compact site with minimal walking if desired, lots of pools and great kids facilities. Only downside was Villas 15 - 19 were isolated from beach and the main pools. The Deluxe room in Villas 15 - 19 was sub-standard and all had a connecting door to the adjacent suite which made them potentially noisy depending on the family next door.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing Resort

The staff was great could not do enough for you. Nice clean rooms; always things to do if you wanted, nice quiet areas if you wanted. Food was great nice selection at buffet and 4 very good restaurants to choose from.

Flamingo Vallarta: Great Resort

The Flamingo is a small hotel with a great location at the Marina. During our stay the main outdoor dining area was closed for repair so we did not fully appreciate the out door space until it reopened mid week. The grounds are well kept, the pool area and pool are very clean. The lobby is quaint and has an elevator which made it a breeze for luggage. We were in room 322 which had a great balcony overlooking the pool and the Marina. The location at the Marina is cool, you step right onto the [... read more] boardwalk from the grounds and are able to walk the full length of the Marina with access to tons of restaurants. Thursday evening is Market day at the Marina and draws a great group of vendors that are totally different from the flea market vendors. My only downside was the smallish pool area. The pool music was loud and geared to a fifteen year old. With no other outdoor space to enjoy that did not have the thump, thump, thump music blasting it was hard for us to sit and chill. The positive of this was that my husband and I jumped on the local bus everyday and explored the beach towns north and south of Vallarta. It is such a great, inexpensive, safe way to explore.
