Sandos Cancun: One of the cleanest, friendliest hotels in all of cancun

My fiancé and I traveled to Sandos Cancun Luxury resort from march 9, 2017 until march 14, 2017. When we first arrived we were greeted with a lovely rose and wet cloths to cool ourselves off. The staff was very helpful, courteous and kind. We waited about 2 hours until our room was ready (we had an early flight). When we got to our room it was beautiful. Marble everything!! Very modern and exceptionally clean. Fully stocked mini fridge including beer, sort drinks, juices, and yogurt drinks. T [... read more]hey also supply cans of planters nuts, pretzels, cheese and crackers, chocolate bars and m&m which was awesome to have for a little snack. We used the 24 hour room service twice, which was very quick and delicious. The buffet was absolutely delicious, something different everyday. The desserts were incredible. The Japanese restaurant was my favourite- we were a bit put off when we were told by the hostess that my fiancé and I couldn't sit next to each other (there were plenty of seats--this was also the same hostess who insisted that I was in a wet swimsuit and wanted me to change before enetering the buffet (I was in a sundress) she was the only employee that I felt was quite rude. We were both very happy with the resort and staff and will definitely be returning

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Amazing Resort

This resort is big and beautiful in every way possible. The grounds are impeccable with paved walk ways or wood walk ways to restaurants and the beach. The architecture of this resort is amazing. The landscaping is amazingly beautiful. The rooms are spacious, modern and cozy with every thing you need to enjoy your stay. The restaurants have everything imaginable to satisfy your taste buds. The food and service at these restaurants is truly a dinning experience. The entertainment people crea [... read more]te an enthusiastic atmosphere for everyone to join in the fun. The pools are beautiful with lots of scenery around them. The staff at this resort make you feel like a queen or king and they offer services above and beyond your expectation. Everyone at this resort is so friendly that you just feel so much at home and ease. The beach is nice also but I have seen better. The service at the beach is great though. Overall this resort is well worth the money to spend your vacation. I definitely recommend this resort to everyone. You won't be disappointed!

Allegro Cozumel: Nice resort

Very nice clean resort . Had a show head,and front door, repairs done very quickly . We asked night before and was told yes but did not a coma date us with food for a 6:30 all day tour not even coffee..

Barcelo Maya Colonial: great resort!

Everything was great about that resort. Nice location, nice beach, nice food, nice weather. A lot of activities to do. We love the tennis, basketball court. We love to do snorkeling at the beach in front of the hotel.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: EXCELLENCE RIVIERA CANCUN - A TRUE 5 STAR RESORT

My sweetheart and I enjoyed 10 nights at this resort from March 04/17 to March 14/17. I have never written a review about a resort in the past because I just didn't think the place was worth it until now . This resort I feel is truly a 5 star + resort . They seem to do everything right and are always very happy to make you happy and satisfied .The resorts grounds are kept immaculate and we couldn't help but notice the abundance of staff maintaining , cleaning and servicing everything and everyo [... read more]ne . If you called for a service repair , they were at your door within 5 minutes and then you received a call immediately after the repair person was there verifying that the issue was corrected . We noticed there was always a manager walking around the resort days and nights , including the restaurants taking notes and I believe this is why this resort is so well run and maintained . Just to emphasize this , we were having supper at the Mexican Restaurant one night and a manager asked us how we liked the resort as well as other questions and after we told him how much we loved the place , my wife being vertically challenged a little mentioned to the manager that her only complaint was that the beds were a little high for her to get into and that a stool or something would be nice to have in the room for her to get into bed . The manager just smiled and jotted something down and we never thought any more about it. The next day while we were out of our room , they came in and lowered the bed for her !! Needless to say , she was overwhelmed by this because at the most she thought she might get a stool to help her get into bed . We were told that this resort was at 80% occupancy while we were there , but it never felt even half full , in fact most days it seemed like there was hardly anyone there. You never had to save a chair or bed at the beach or around a pool and there were more than enough available at both . The main swim up pool was really the only pool that you had to get there early for a chair. The servers were always checking on you if you needed drinks no mater were you were even on the beach . Room service was very fast and we never waited more than a couple of minutes at one the 9 a la carts . We loved the fact you didn't have to reserve where to eat each night . We also loved that you can get any premium liquor and beer . The Grill was a great place to have lunch and they even have a wood fired pizza oven at the main pool bar with great pizzas . As well at this bar , every day there was live entertainment which we loved regardless of where you were at the bar or as we were at our swim up room in building 7 . We met allot of really nice couples that felt the same way and many of them were return customers , some more than at least 6 times . We also noticed a very good mixed age span at this resort from young to older couples which to us indicated there was a good variety of activities for all age groups . Great relaxing resort that we highly recommend and we will definitely return too. The only down side to this resort is the sea weed on the beach and in the ocean water when the wind is up , and the wind is usually up in Feb and March. That said there is a lot of beautiful beach front at this resort and it is wide. The seaweed is cleaned up daily by the crews all day long. We did have 2 calm days , and when that happens the seaweed is minimal and swimming in the ocean is beautiful. Room tip : Building 6 or 7 . Both are near the heated pool , activities and closer to the restaurants and main building/theater . Thank you Trip Central and Shelly D for all their help with choosing and organizing our travel needs . This was our best vacation ever.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Our Oasis in the Jungle!

This resort blew away our expectations. Loved that we could swim in the pools of Coba, Tulum and Akumal and eat in their restaurants then run back to our quiet and quaint Oasis. In our opinion, the buffet of Sian Ka'an was the best by far although the smallest. The grounds were immaculate, the workers friendly and everyone was willing to do whatever it took to make you happy. Best vacation by far! Although no beach front - it was fun riding the carts to the various locations and dancing to  [... read more]the Mexican music and speaking with other tourists and the resort drivers.

Allegro Cozumel: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort, not large easy to get around. Nice that you could sit at pool area and also be close to the ocean. Many planned activities. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean . We are not picky eaters however we had some difficulty at evening meal. Breakfast buffet excellent. But evening meal did not appeal to us.Food was never hot just luke warm We enjoyed Italian restaurant. Excellent resort for families , felt very safe and secure.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: PERFECT FAMILY VACATION

Our family just returned from a fabulous week at Dreams Puerto Aventuras. The hotel was the perfect size, wasn't overly large which was great for young families. Our daughters (6&9) were able to get around and always in our view, unlike other resorts we've stayed at in the past. We had a ground level family suite, which was amazing. We were able to walk in and out all day long, and great for us when kids were in room resting after a long day in the sun. We had great food and went to all of the  [... read more]a la carte restaurants. It was extremely nice not having to make reservations. We never had to wait and were always taken care of. The barefoot grille made the most amazing wood fire pizzas. To die for! There was a lot of options and never repeat meals. Lots of varieties and plenty of food! Dulce, at the main pool, always made sure we had something cold to drink and was a sweetie. The Kids Club was fantastic and always had activities for the kids. Our girls participated in crafts and bungee trampoline. It was nice that my husband and I felt safe to leave the girls for activities. The entertainment team was fantastic. They truly keep that resort happening. Giovanni, Bernice, Jorge... Loved the water aerobics, Zumba, foam party in pool, zip lining across Beach, sandcastle competition...all an amazing experience that was a wonderful experience for our family. The nightly shows were good, Magic shows, fire show. We participated in the Dolphin Discovery on site as well. However, I booked directly on the website 2 weeks before we arrived. I was able to get a deal (50%) off entire booking, where it was extremely pricey to book at actual location . The town of Puerto Aventuras also has Dolphin Discovery programs too, where you can swim with Dolphins, Manatees and Sea Lions. Puerto Aventuras was a lovely experience. Our daughters had their hair braided, bought souvenirs and ate amazing gelato ice cream! We were able to see the marina and the fish that were caught during day. We were very impressed with the friendliness, the smiles that everyone gave and it truly was an amazing experience. We would recommended this resort for sure!

Riu Emerald Bay: Great vacation in Mazatlan Mexico with perfect weather to boot!

Hotel beds not too comfortable, but maids meticulous about cleaning and I am a clean freak! The pools and beach were all fabulous. Miles of beaches! Never a problem finding lounge chairs. Lots of activities and extremely friendly staff( not just looking for tips). Food good, but not 5 star quality. Overall a good value! Great vacation!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort

Beautiful ground. Very good food. Very nice pools. A lot of activities such as mini golf , tennis , kayaking , free catamaran lessons Wind surfing lessons water tricycle paddleboard and so on to keep you busy . I would definitely come back .

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Amazing Resort

This was by far the best resort I have ever stayed at everything was terrific, if I had to make one complaint it would be that the free WiFi is only available 10.00 to 1.00pm located in the mall, other resorts have had free WiFi in the hotel lobby in the evening, but to be honest it was really nice not be on cell phones the whole time and we had a famous week. The Japanese restaurant was awesome.

El Cozumeleno Beach: good resort

The grounds were beautiful, but not enough shade or chairs. We enjoyed the mini - golf . The dinners were not so great. The desserts were pretty much the same every night. but the breakfast and the lunches were o.k. All the people working were great and very helpful. We were very disappointed in the entertainment at night.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Mixed feelings

The maya colonial is an amazing property, very large with plenty of amenities. Unfortunately we did not enjoy our time there as much as we liked and considering the premium we paid for it we had high expectations. Our rooms ( another family came with us ) were unsatisfactory and their explanation was bizarre to say the least ( they cannot garantee the rooms at booking time??) When they finally found us a room with 2 beds they were double beds and we would have expected queens. They were unable t [... read more]o provide us with any ala cartes before 930 pm for the first 4 days, the 5th day was available but was not my prefered choice. We reached out to trip central on 2 occasions and they were unable to provide assistance, air transat was also unable to provide assistance. All staff at the hotel were friendly and professional at all times. Despite the amenities included they were constantly hitting us up for extra charges, in some cases more than what trip central had on file ( pirates island ) . The mini golf looked fun but was only complementary during the day, after 7 pm they wanted 10 dollars us per person to play, i found that tacky to say the least. The resort was full but it never loomed full which speaks to the overall size of the place. I suppose i would stay there again but i would need some better assurances on rooms and ala cartes in advance.

Azul Ixtapa Grand Resort: Fantastic Infinity Pool !

Great Service ! And the Infinity Pool makes the place. OH and the waterfall and swim up BAR. Restaurants are OK. Setting is great !! Nice getaway for couples. Other guests were amazingly friendly.

Costa Club Punta Arena: Great place for relaxing

The place is great and has a different feel than those big chain hotels around it. It feels local, friendlier and more genuine. The resort has the right amount of amenities so that you don't feel trapped in there - you feel inclined to both enjoy the resort and the city. The food was amazing and plenty. It has a great array of buses right outside if you feel adventurous, or you can have a nice walk to the Malecón boardwalk. I loved that they had a adult pool away from the kids for when [... read more] we just want to relax. They have WiFi throughout the resort, but it was really unreliable in our room, probably because we were next to the pool and restaurant, so it was a large traffic of users most of the time.

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Five Star Resort

This was a beautiful spot! The grounds were well kept and the rooms were spacious and spotless! The staff were friendly and very helpful everywhere on the resort. The specialty restaurants were superb....my favourite was the Japanese...not only was the food delicious but the chef was extremely entertaining! The buffet always had a wonderful selection...something for everyone. I cannot say enough about the entertainment.....excellent every night. I would highly recommend this resort and look forw [... read more]ard to returning for another visit. Two thumbs up!

Flamingo Cancun Resort: Relaxing Week !!

We stayed at Flamingo Cancun March 4 to 11, 2017. The resort stated 3.5 stars but I would upgrade it to at least a 4.5 stars. The hotel staff were very friendly. Loved loved Ingrid in the Albatros Bar, above and beyond !! The food was great, our room was very clean and the king size bed was comfortable and even had comfy king size pillows. Bathroom was clean and the tub was huge. We were right across from the Flamingo Mall and Bubba Gump Shrimp house. Pizza bar was great in Don Roberto's  [... read more]bar, but only open until 6pm. Easy to take the bus up and down the hotel zone strip. The only thing I would suggest is more seating in the pool area, patio tables and chairs would've been nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Great resort

Had a great time at this resort. The food was great, the rooms were very nice and clean and the staff and the service were excellent. The only thing that could improve would be to have a few more loungers around the pools and stop people from putting there towels on them first thing in the morning and not returning all day.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: A Little bit of Paradise

This was a very nice all-inclusive resort. There are several buildings to accommodate guests. Our room was nice and clean with stocked bar fridge daily! The views from most rooms open out to a balcony that has wildlife literally outside your window. It's a nice size resort in a jungle setting which is a plus if you enjoy watching animals in the wild as you are right in the middle of monkeys, iguana's, parrots and so many other interesting wildlife. There are lots of beautiful pools, an [... read more] adult pool, and a beach inlet that has a net to keep most ocean wildlife out of the resort beach ocean swimming area. Some smaller fish do make their way in, though and the inlet shelters keep the beach goers from some wind - in this inlet is where the snorkeling is - the water was quite murky and smelly on some days - I think it depends on the current that allows the water to refresh from the ocean. The resort's beach area is located at the back of the resort, depending on which building you are in, it can take a good 10 minutes to walk there. There is no ocean front sandy beach this was a huge drawback for us. The resort allows you 1 free hour of snorkeling a day, but we had to carefully climb down the rocks and carefully swim out to snorkel to avoid the sharp rocks. Food was great, selection at the main buffet was amazing, they even have the specialty teas and a cappuccino machine! The food is upgraded at the Specialty restaurants, which include a Steak house, Italian, Mexican, Seafood & Asian. Our favorite was the Seafood restaurant - the bonus is there are no reservations at any of the restaurants - and you can go more than once! There is the Pizza Grill and Paco Taco's which is casual dining open until the wee hours of the morning. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Entertainment - the best show we thought was "Mexico" - which had dances and costumes that represented the whole of Mexico. A truly beautiful relaxing place to stay. The only downfall of this place is the staff that try and sell upgrade packages - and do not take no for an answer. This unfortunately put a damper on our vacation - as there is someone who sits at the entrance of your bldg all day - so trying to avoid them is almost impossible, which they know. We made the mistake of agreeing to see the club package - we were asked for deposit of $20US - 2nd mistake, we were told this reserves a spot and you get funds back after presentation. We were also offered the Xcaret park entrance at a discount, we told them we were not interested in that then the rep Carlos mentioned some other tour packages and asked what we were interested in only after this we were allowed to leave and head to breakfast and we were late for our presentation meeting with airline rep (which they are fully aware of too). They gave us this bright pink beach bag as a token. We felt we were literally forced - after this playing on our minds most of day, we went back to tell that we would like to cancel as this does not interest us. There was a different person at the desk - he said he would have to call his supervisor. We waited for the supervisor - he arrived and went over everything we had heard in the morning - we told him several times we felt we were rushed this morning we had another meeting to attend which we were late for due to this - we simply want to cancel. This supervisor Christian Muniz became quite rude - and told us it will affect Carlos numbers and we are taking away from him - this is his bread and butter! We apologized and again politely told him we would like to cancel we have already wasted so much time. Eventually, he said ok but wait till you speak with Carlos when he returns tomorrow am before your presentation. Again, we reinforced that we just want to cancel and would like our $20US back. He started getting upset and said you were given a beach bag....we told him he can have that bag back! Then he said that he does not have funds and they can be reimbursed tomorrow! He took the form we had been given earlier that day - I asked to take a pic before he took it and that's when he literally lost it - he took out his wallet and slammed the $20.00US on the table !!!! Needless to say, we avoided coming in and out of our building during the rest of our stay!

Sandos Cancun: A+ resort, staff, flights and travel agent!!

Teelah was great to work with, she helped us pick a perfect location and excellent resort. We had great flights and awesome weather. The resort was top shelf. Staff, pool, beach, service, food, and entertainment were fabulous. Sandos Cancun was clean and very well maintained. A+ vacation.
