Las Palmas by the Sea: Pleasantly suprised

We had seen the outside of this hotel many years before and I wasn't sure how good it would be. Although it is somewhat dated , it was clean and they have tried to keep it up. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was okay and we could always find something that we liked to eat. The security staff were very good at keeping children out of the adult pool only once or twice did a family miss the sign and enter the pool and shortly after the security would come and tell them to  [... read more]go to the activity/children's pool. Nightly entertainment was very good for a smaller hotel For a three star hotel we found it to be quite good.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Adult trip to Ocean Riviera Paradise

We traveled to ORP with a group of adults for a parent's get a way. All of us have traveled to the area in the past and were looking forward to returning. We had a great week with no major problems. Rooms are beautiful and beds are super comfortable. Loved the water pressure in the shower and we had no problem with housekeeping, everything looked great. Drinks were always available at the bar or from the waitresses around the pool, only had a wait time during the peak of the afternoon enter [... read more]tainment. Buffet at breakfast was fantastic. Found it a little strange that we would have to wait to be seated at the buffet, occasionally causing a line up, but that seemed to improve over the week. Not having reservations at the a la cart's caused a lot of waiting, some nights we weren't seated until 10pm. But overall the food was great. As it's a brand new resort you can tell that they are still working out some kinks, but it wouldn't cause me to not recommend to someone else. You could see that most staff were doing everything they could to make things go smoothly.

Sandos Cancun: Stunning

A perfect example of a smaller Luxury Resort. I continue to read a few negative reviews about this resort, I am not sure what could possibly make those people happy. This is an adult orientated resort, you can take kids but there is no entertainment provided for them. Average age of people staying here I would say is 30-60. Check in was quick, rooms are beautiful and bathrooms have a tub and shower. Standard rooms do not have a balcony but the windows open right up. Mini Bar is stocked with 3 ki [... read more]nds of Beer a selection of pop, water and chocolate. Snacks are also provided Pringles and Nuts and all are restocked everyday. Wine can be ordered through Room Service and is brought up quickly to the room. Food is exceptional from the Breakfast Buffet, Lunch at St Trops overlooking the Ocean and then Supper any place you choose. You only need to make reservations at the Japanese restaurant, which is fantastic, we went twice. The Steakhouse was the only time we waited for a table and it was less than 15 minutes. Resort does not feel over crowded even when completely full. Pools are very pretty in the Sun but as you will read on every review the sun disappears quickly behind the monstrous hotel built right next door. No problem just move down to the beach. We would spend our morning on the beach, move up up the pool and back to the beach when the sun disappeared. Cancun is windy and the water always has plenty of waves to play in. There is no swim up bar, but 2 bars are located either side of the lower pool and staff come by frequently to refresh your drinks. Being a smaller resort helps you become friends with members of staff as well as other guests. Guests come from Brazil, Argentina, USA and Canada to name a few. Entertainment is provided every afternoon around the pool and every evening at one of the bars. These are acts brought in from outside not members of staff. Volleyball on the beach and in the pool daily along with aqua gym and trivia games in the afternoon. A very nice place to spend a week in paradise. This is not a cheap resort but you can still look out for great deals. Well worth the time and effort

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Great resort!

Great food, however, the a la carts would be less frustrating if you could make a reservation. Sometimes the wait was over an hour to get in. The grounds were nice but not kept as clean as I've seen other resorts. The same with the adult pool. The water was cloudy and not nearly as clear as it should have been. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the resort. It's a new resort so hopefully it continues to improve.

Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort: Beautiful Resort

The resort was very well maintained, the grounds were amazing. Very scenic area and close to many things to do. The beach area is used very little. Service was very good, especially waiter service around the pool area. The food is average, not as good as other Secret Resorts.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Great time

It is a great resort, the people were very friendly and the grounds beautiful. We would go there again and highly recommend it. The only complaint is that for a few days there were too many people there, too many kids screaming and people running and screaming in the halls at night.

Grand Sunset Princess: Great resort!

Food is very good quality, always fresh with great variety. Friendly, fast, professional service. Beautiful grounds! Very clean, very well maintained! Live music and great shows at night. We like a lot entertainment team!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very Comfortable Resort

Excellent location.Easy access to the town centre.Grounds were very well kept.Staff were very courteous and helpful.Cusine provided lots of choices and variety Rooms need to be upgraded,have wireless internet and provide a safe without extra charge

Marina Fiesta Resort and Spa: Fabulous resort right in the marina in Los Cabos!

The staff are so amazing. Special thanks to Andres for being the best bartender ever for us at the pool. Everyone is kind and always smiling and so helpful. The resort is in an amazing location, right in the marina, on the water, about a 5 minute walk to the beach. We did the all inclusive package for a week which allowed us to eat and drink at 5 different restaurants, all on the strip, right on the marina, right next to the hotel. The food was really good, our favourite was Baja Lobster th [... read more]e absolute best waiter ever was Rene. We will return again!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: No bad surprises, lives up to expectations

This resort is large, which has some advantages. If you aren't interested in leaving the resort, there is a casino, a beach and several lovely pools to keep you busy. The little shuttle trains are fun and fast. Very clean resort (even public restrooms!) and the people who work here are so polite and work so hard. I was surprised that so few people tip for the excellent service they receive. If you can't part with a dollar, please at least show sincere appreciation. Lovely drinks and excellent f [... read more]ood. We chose not to see the evening shows, but heard they were good. We sat outside the lobby at night and listened to some lovely live music. Nice to see families enjoying the music and dancing with their children. A great resort for the reasonable price.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: What a paradise!!!!

My daughter and myself just spent a week at the Barcelo Maya Colonial resort in Riviera Maya. This being my6th visit to same area of Mexico I would say by far the nicest resort I have experienced. The place was immaculate, the staff were helpful on any issue we came with. Anything we requested came promptly with a smile. The staff were at all times profession and although we were placed on ground level with patio doors, which I was nervous about, never did I feel unsafe there. The restaurants we [... read more]re plentiful, the pools were never ending and spotless. The grounds also immaculate. Our transit representative also extremely helpful and available. There was so much to see and do there we never left the resort. It was also nice to see so many families and children vacationing together in large groups with so much available to keep the young ones busy. It was quiet at night but activities available for those who enjoy the night life. I would recommend this resort to any family and friend of mine.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Excellent Stay

We stayed at Riu Palace, Cabo San Lucas for 7 days. We really enjoyed our stay. The food and the Service was amazing. Staff at Riu palace are great group of people. They have a great attitude and wonderful people. They gave us 5 star plus service from our arrival date to the departure date. Wireless internet connection was awesome. We booked a ocean view room and the scenery was fantastic. We were able to see the beach and sunrise from our room. What a gorgeous view. Worth every penny. We arr [... read more]ived on my birthday and they delivered a birthday cake and a bottle of wine to our room. I was surprised to see the B'day cake & Wine..!!!!!!!!!!! The people who work at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas makes all the difference. They are always willing to help you. Housekeeping staff keeps beautifully organized bedroom. Waiters at the restaurants and buffet area do a fabulous job. Our Waitress Abril took care of us most of the time and her customer service was fantastic. Please make sure to tip the people, they do work long hours and still they always have a beautiful smile and gives the service from the heart. We also took two tours with the help of Sunwing representatives on the ground. They are really professional and our driver for both days was Hector from Novo Tours. He was really good and amazing driver. Always took care of everyone personally on the tour bus. We will be planning to go again sometimes in the near future. Great job Riu......Vamos..!!!!

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Great splash pool

We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite which was great. It was cleaned well everyday. The food was good & plentiful, the staff were really friendly & attentive. The splash pool for the kids was great, they loved it. The only negative was the kids club. They had arranged activities but no toys so my kids went to get their face painted and had to sit for an hour for their turn. ( I had to stay as the kids have to be over 4)They should really have toys to amuse the kids. They went to another activity which [... read more] was arts & crafts. They just spent 15 mins doing that and then they just put on the tv for them which was disappointing. The hotel is only 20 mins from the airport so the location is great. We would go again mainly for the splash pool as it had numerous slides to keep the kids entertained.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: New

Being new the buildings are beautiful and clean . All the trees are newly planted and in a few years the grounds will be beautiful as well. Lots to eat at buffet of course ( repetitive, as usual) Pools were large with swim up bars. Nice water slides for the smaller kids and entertainment staff were always fun . A strong 4 star

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Not your usual all inclusive

We have been to many all inclusives and this one is unique. You actually get 4 resorts in one when you choose the adults-only Sian Ka'an. Sleeping at the hotel is wonderful. The only noise is the sound of birds. The beds are really comfortable and with the penthouse suites you have a butler that will set up the rooftop hot tub with bubbles and roses, aromatherapy in your room, and make dinner reservations for you. It is truly a wonderful experience and a must if you need to unwind. T [... read more]he private beach has wonderful service and it is an easy walk to Tulum and Akamal resorts for breakfast or lunch. We spent most days at the beach and took the tram back to the resort for a couple of hours at the pool. The tram was always quick and honestly we met and chatted with a lot of nice people on it. We really enjoyed the resort and will be back next year.

Hard Rock Hotel Cancun: Amazing people and service

The people / staff were AMAZING. What sets their staff apart is their constant willingness to help, serve, please and go that "1 step further". Truly fantastic. One area for improvement would be to ensure the rooms stay current and renovated. I plan to come back and would really like to see the rooms kept to the same high standards as your staff. the food was overall outstanding. Top ingredients and nicely prepared. Everything was very tasty. Very impressed with the quality of the  [... read more]team at the HR and shows they are appreciated, well taken care of, feel safe and respected - which seems to make them love their job and in turn the customer/guest can feel it and makes all the difference. Many thanks for a great week at Hard Rock Cancun

Grand Sunset Princess: Awesome Resoet

Amazing grounds .... fabulous staff....A1 entertainment crew and top notch staff; first class food selections in numerous restaurants; wonderful spa at reasonable rates ... look for Gina and get her deal of the day :)

Grand Park Royal Cancun: The Grand Park Royal in Cancun was truly amazing, not modern but very nice and creative touches making the atmosphere just perfect !

My daughter and I just spent a week at the Grand Park Royal and the staff couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We received an upgrade because we had booked an ocean view and our room was exactly in line with the palm trees. The upgrade was right on the ocean and in a more quiet building, wonderful to wake up to the rising sun and sound of the surf. There are several eating spots on the property but to be honest we found the buffet had a great selection of food and was very tasty. As we  [... read more]moved around the resort I noticed that the staff were never just standing around but always at work cleaning or fixing anything that need attention. The beach was lovely and you could never walk the whole thing. There were two pools a main pool where there was always music and activities going on and an infinity pool that we spent enjoyable days lounging, if we were not lounging on the beach, both having bar service. As well there was a children's pool and outdoor whirlpool. There were many quaint spots all over the property and the overall feel of natural stone walkways to beautiful palm trees swaying in the breeze and a tropical garden. The Rooftop Lounge was an absolutely stunning composition in it's own right created with a variation of gorgeous lounging sofas leaving you feeling like you were the only ones enjoying this uniquely lighted ,star studded ambisonic tranquility. A wonderful way to end your day after a delicious dinner. Our room was clean and comfortable and the shower was outstanding with two jet nozzles and a 10" rainfall shower head. This Resort is primarily a membership resort so be prepared to be approached by a sales representative. This is not a timeshare and if you decide to become a member it gives you options to other resorts in other parts of the world. I can't say enough about this Resort and we felt extremely secure leaving the premises and venturing out to a local market or hopping a bus into Cancun. You are offered a shuttle to do some day shopping free of charge.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Would recommend

I have had some very disappointing destination vacations and some exceptional experiences. The Azul was one of those rated as exceptional. The resort was very well maintained, the food was first rate and the drinks were perfect. The employees appeared happy in their jobs and very helpful. That is Hugh for me as a happy employee will go out of their way to assist you. I did not travel with small children but I was most impressed with what they offered young families. I would recommend this resort [... read more] to others. Cheers had a blast.

Marina Fiesta Resort and Spa: Great resort. Avoid time share if you are Canadian

Great hotel. Ask for the free upgrade to the presidential suite. If you are Canadian and agree to view a time share at the hacienda resort 15 min away, you will only get $100 max per couple. We were lied to and told we would get $250 cash per couple if we went to time share visit. After it was done they lied and only paid $100. Beware
