Paradisus La Perla Adults Only Riviera Maya: Superb Resort

The entire resort is 5 star.......from the food to the rooms to the great staff to the amenities to the bars and a la carte restaurants. First rate. However my wife had her phone stolen from our room. She and I both know that it was a maintenance guy who was in the room when we were at dinner. He was there to fix the toilet. I know he swiped it. Security came in to our room. They did a thorough investigation etc. and then provided my wife with a letter that was pure BS......not appreciated [... read more]!! Lock everything of value in the room safe!!!

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Nice resort - beautiful grounds...poor quality beach

There was a lot of variety for dining... always something to find to eat. Although some will review the a la carte's as great I would say don't expect French or Italian in mexico...then your good! Seafood and steakhouse was great! The grounds were breath taking - beautifully kept. The beach was sadly awful. A beach vacation is not what your going to get here. The smell was terrible, we had red flags the entire week but it was the seaweed and the dirty upturning water that was most disturbing. Th [... read more]e condition of the rooms was ok - could use better maintenance for sure! The beverages were sub-par...they couldn't mix a mojito or margarita properly...the mixed drinks were ok...but light on the booze and often with poor quality alcohol unless you had a great bartender that would ask you what you wanted. The pools were ok - i am not a huge fan of pools but there was a lot of mold which means for me they are not maintained as well as they should be for a 4.5* resort. Weather is not something you can control - so the parts that you can should be managed properly. Great that a bottle of tequila was provided in your room but would have preferred better maintenance over that.Overall I found it lacking - I won't be going back and I won't be recommending it any time soon. Shame - first kid free vacation in a while and in the end it was sorely lacking!

Hotel Castillo Huatulco: a gem in the middle of everything

we decided this year to break away from our usual beach resort vacation. we chose the Hotel Castillo that is in the heart of Santa Cruz. there was everything we would expect or need on our vacation. we took taxis just about everyday to experience new beaches and snorkeling spots. we walked around the town and even up to neighboring Cruciceta. we always felt safe. it was a joy to immerse in the culture. all in all it was a week that i would recommend to anybody.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Would Go Again

We were all inclusive - excellent food - they do not take reservations at the dining rooms If you are beach walkers - no problem - lots of walking both directions beach vendors do not harass at all - and you can have an awesome 1 hour massage on the beach for $30.00 U.S. construction going on at their pier which is pretty much destroyed - so can be noisy if you like to spend time on the beach all staff very attentive and at the restaurants they will try to upsell their wine list the all inc [... read more]lusive wine selection they offer was very good for our tastes our room was the 1 bedroom Jacuzzi suite. On arrival they offered the sky deck option for an additional $60.00/night - which we declined. When we got to our room - voila, we actually had that sky view room. I guess, they wanted to squeeze some more $$ out of us - before they gave us this room, probably because that was all that was available. Just wish they had have just said to us - enjoy this beautiful upgraded room - at no charge. There is lots of walking - but we knew that, and we actually enjoy the exercise. The Gin Bar is amazing - try it!!! Trip Advisor had a promo on the beach one day for lunch - the selection of appetizers was amazing - even candy apples, cotton candy, sushi, and much more same old complaint about towels being left on the pool deck chairs unattended for hours...not a fault of the resort by any means - inconsiderate people!!!! same old, same old yes, you should try this resort!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing stay

First off, not enough could be said about this amazing resort. The food was top notch whether it be the buffet or the a la cartes restaurants. Service was also exceptional and a special thanks to Manuel at the buffet restaurant. He always brought a smile to our faces and felt as though he paid special attention to us. I would recommend this resort to anyone as the property offers so many options and whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or a fun packed vaction this resort is able to accomm [... read more]odate. Definetely going back in 2018!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Occidental Xcaret

Our trip was great, Jairus was very helpful with explaining what to expect at this resort. Food, rooms and all staff were excellent. The only thing we did not enjoy was the people trying to talk us into Time Shares. We will use Jairus again for additional trips.

Hotel Emporio Ixtapa: Good resort-if you know what to expect

Stayed week of Mar.3-10-oceanfront room, like others have said, noise can be a problem at night, and it does not matter where your room is located. The noise can come from other resorts having live bands or weddings etc. The noise was only an issue for 3 nights and we wore earplugs so not a problem sleeping. The room itself was older with a lack of power outlets-we could only use 1, the other was broken. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have slept on in Mexico and the A/C (controlle [... read more]d by a new digital thermostat) cooled the room better than any resort we have stayed at-so kudos to the hotel. The food was good, however like many resorts the buffet food got a little repetitive over the week. Friendly staff who worked hard to please the guests! The 2 a la carte's served Italian and the other beachfront grilled (serving steak, chicken, seafood) were good. The buffet was heavy on the Mexican dishes but the hotel was filled with more locals than Canadians or Americans. 9 yr old daughter loved the kids activities. There is a separate kiddie pool with water slides but the majority of kids were in the adult pool where the swim up bar is located. The hotel should post signs about children under 6 only being allowed in the kiddie pool as I saw many toddlers and even infants in the pool sans diapers... Beach was great and the ocean warm and rough the way I like it. Sandy bottom no rocks -no jellies. Would stay here again if the price is right!

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Couldn't ask for a better vacation

This resort was just what we were looking for. There is enough to see and do every day that you are not bored. The Jungle setting is really cool to walk through even at night. The paths are well lit and safe. Food was really good, this is the first trip in 12 years that no one in our party got sick. Staff is friendly, and does a great job of keeping the Adults Only sections just that. The resort is very family friendly, but if you want to be away from kids best to avoid this place.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Great vacation

This is a very nice hotel. I love the architecture. The beach is very nice and the pools are beautiful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The big negative are the rooms. The rooms are ``fine`` and spacious but they need to be renovated for that hotel standard. The staff was very pro-active and efficient in making sure that everything worked in our room to our satisfaction but to rooms still feel old and ours was very humid and had a very strong smell of moisture. Overall, great hotel an [... read more]d great vacation.

Tesoro Manzanillo: The beach is the only problem here

This hotel is in a great getaway location. It's staff is professional, courteous, and above all friendly. The only fault is the beach. Everyday some algae or some sort of scum floats into the cove. While it is of no fault of the hotel, it does pollute the water and spoil what could have been a great beach experience. I mentioned the staff is top notch and in my view makes up for the beach short comings. They go out of their way to make your holiday an experience to enjoy. One person in parti [... read more]cular was a young waiter named Jordi. We always attempted get a table in his area, but even if we couldn't he would make a point to saying hello with a ready wave and smile, almost like you were visiting him at home. The hotel location is an easy bus ride into town if you feel like exploring. Take the number 8 (which passes by the hotel regularly) to the highway and then take the number 1 into town.

Iberostar Waves Tucan: Beautiful Resort

The Best Thing About This Resort is the grounds with lush greenery and wild life.Food was excellent and service.Pool was large and clean.Staff were friendly. Beautiful beach and can walk for miles. I will be returning to this resort again. we stayed on the Quetzal side.

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

staff are super friendly and accommodating. Need more chairs around pools (beach front pool and other pools). Bit pricey can find other equivalent resorts for less money. Rooms on top floor do not have cover over balcony making it tough with inclement weather. Standard rooms have 2 double beds

Grand Riviera Princess: Beautiful resort - Great vacation!

The Grand Riviera Princess was a large resort with beautiful grounds, plenty of pools, restuarants & bars. We really enjoyed the food - the Asian restuarant was our favourite al carte (we tried Mexican, Asian & Italian). The staff were very friendly and the resort never felt crowded. The entertainment at night was really good and when the show was over there was live music in one of the lounges. The rooms were very large and in really good condition compared to other rooms we have seen while [... read more] travelling. Spent a lot of time at the beach. The beach was nice and the water was warm. Not the best beach I have been too but it was good and had an easier time getting a lawn chair/hut in the mornings then we have experienced at other resorst. Would definately recommend this resort.

Secrets Huatulco: very nice resort

resort has everything you need, all very good quality, from food, drinks,rooms, views, service,only bit of downfall is the beach, it is very big, brown sand gets very very hot to walk on. and water in this local always seems to be ruff

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Incredible Resort!

I wasn't sure what to expect to be quite honest but I was pleasantly surprised. The resort was beautiful. Lots for kids to do and see from the waterpark, the kids club or the eco activities, we learned a lot while there. We never had a dull moment. The food was delicious, the rooms were beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend and hopefully return with our extended family for them to enjoy it as much as we did.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Wonderful resort

Beautiful grounds with beautiful pools and beach. Very well kept facilities. Meals were all good to excellent as well. Evenings in the rooms were quiet so sleeping was great. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely be going back.

Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos: Amazing Resort

Very clean friendly resort! Staff were excellent from front desk to waiters to bar tenders to cooks to management! Our favourite staff were the activities staff of Allen, Lilly and Nuam( sorry for the spelling). Love the Fire show, Mexican show and Latin show!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing Resort

Seeing the resort for the first time was breathtaking. The grounds were immaculate and everything was very well maintained and beautiful. The lobby of he hotel was awesome with the ocean breeze coming in from the far end. The staff at the front desk were efficient and very helpful,they made sure someone was available to take us to our room. Our room was clean and probably the size of a hotel room in Canada, definately not oversized but sufficient. The room was cleaned daily and the bar fridge st [... read more]ocked and there was no charge for anything in it, which was a nice surprise. The food at the buffet was good, there was definately something for everyone. The a la carte restaurants were also very good, a nice change from the buffet. The pools were awesome and plenty of them, the beach was nice not the perfect beach but nice to walk on, swimming in the ocean not the greatest as the water was rough and there were barriers built to stop the erosion, which didn't look terribly attractive. Still loved this resort, many of the people we met were talking about booking this resort again they were so happy with it. I too would go back to this resort and I'm not one to go to the same place twice. I would definately recommend this resort without hesitation. The staff were ALL very helpful and friendly.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Completely satisfied

Every area of resort was easily accessible, the layout was set up nicely lots of pools to swim in as well as the ocean. Food was great and always available when hungry, and the drinks plentiful. Will be going again next year, and it is a short ride from the airport. Servers where also very friendly and easy to get alone with.
