Grand Decameron Los Cabos: First All Inclusive

Pro's: Service from wait staff, housekeeping, daily activity coordinators was great. The buffet food was awesome. Beach and pools were lovely. Small, adult orientated. Cons: The transat staff who cordinated tours couldn't be less helpful when both our tours were cancelled after we paid. No attempt to regain funds was established, they were unapologetic and seemed more than aware this was a likely possibility however never informed us. The resorts a la carte restaurant Luna was dreadful - my que [... read more]sadilia had spam in it at lunch and dinner was just as disappointing.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great stay, lots of friendly staff, very helpful

The food was good, lots of variety, weather was warm, of course booking restaurants by 11;00am the day after we arrived at 11:00pm, was challenging, no decent times left. Everyone we spoke to said they had a 10:30pm spot left every night for the Japanese style restaurant (6 nights and only 10:30 left for seating). Mexican and Italian restaurants were great. All bars were consistently awesome with drinks, internet issues all the time, day or night in the lobby but, hey we were on vacation. WestJe [... read more]t agents and BD travel (their tour guide company) were usually available and very accommodating, thanks to Claudia and Jonathon at BD. The WestJet/BD office is right beside the Tequila Store and you can book your excursions there. We were not pleased with the FREE BD tour to Playa Del Carmen as our first stop was at a jewelry factory (not store) where they give you a 10 minute intro of who does not does what, gemologist, etc. then 1 1/2 hour pressure sales by more than 20 staff!!! Again free silver tag with your name in Mayan, then 1/2 hour in a glass blowing place - interesting and beautiful pieces, no pressure sales there, then lunch or supper in Playa Del Carmen (ok but better food on the resort), then free to roam for 2 1/2 hrs in Playa Del Carmen. Front desk helpful, if you want to print your return ticket confirmation off, there is NO BUSINESS CENTRE! You have to wait in line at the same area, next to the front desk, where you book the restaurants and hotel excursions. When bringing your bags to the front to check out (or calling for them to be brought there) PLEASE make sure you check out at the front desk and bring the keys for the room and towels back by 12:00. They tried to charge us for not checking out at the cost of $10.00/hr after 12:00, our bags were out front at 10:00am. They gave in. The beach was far from our end of the resort at Coba, 8 minute golf cart ride, carts were around fairly often. Nice Hacienda and very small Casino. Overall very pleased with everything at the resort.

Riu Flamingos: Great place to stay.!

Likes: The food, lots of variety on the buffets, more than I expected. The al-a-carte restaurants were great, especially the steakhouse. Sport's var open 24 hours and had sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers and fruit. Service was always excellent from all the friendly staff from groundskeeper to front desk. Most of the bar staff made really good mojitos and pina coladas. The entertainment staff tried really hard to engage with as many people as possible. Place was always being cleaned from bathroom [... read more]s to lobby floors. Plenty of chairs on the Beach, good entertainment, better than expected. Rooms were comfortable and came with a fridge stocked with pop and water to use with your 4 bottles of booze in suite. Cans of beer in your fridge too. Dislikes: The coffee was terrible, I mean not good at all. Only survived on double shot American's from the 24 hour sports bar which used regular coffee and not expresso. Crampy toilet paper that was 2 ply but worked like 1 ply. Our room only had a stand up shower that was a nice size but hardly compare to a soaker tub. Maid service was always later in the day, closer to supper time and sometimes that had to come back to give you towels or to restock fridge. Went without first any water and then just cold water for almost 20 hours on the 2nd to last day which meant you couldn't flush the toilet.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Perfect!

We have just returned from a one week stay at the Blue Bay Grand Esmerelda and from start to finish, it was perfect! The resort itself is very large and absolutely beautiful. The room was large and located in a great spot. The food was the best I have had at any resort and there was so much to choose from. The grounds were very clean and the staff were always friendly, I never encountered one person who did not have a smile :). This is a resort we would definitely come back to!

Grand Sunset Princess: Not for me

When you first arrive this resort has a beautiful grand entrance. The grounds are very well maintained and beautiful. The rooms are nice and quiet and decently spacious. I am a beach bumper and was not happy with the beach. There is not tons of beach frontage and when you go in the water you encounter lots of rocky areas so best to have where shoes. I don't use the pools however if you do like them . People really seemed to be enjoying them. The buffets were decent but the a la cart restaurants [... read more] were underwhelming expecially the Japanese one. Overall it was an ok resort but I don't think I would return.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great resort - great value!

This was our 3rd visit to the Grand Bahai Principe. This time in the Tulum section Close to the beach - easy walk Tropical fish for your snorkelling pleasure Ate at the buffet for all meals - lots of choice, tasty food, vegetarian section, all food labeled Nice rooms, cleaned well daily, fridge stocked daily Quiet and active / noisy pools Friendly, helpful staff Overall great time!!

Dreams Los Cabos: Excellent stay

Grounds are great and very well kept, beach is beautiful but with undertow there's no swimming in it. We thought the room (had a bed suite) was great and all have ocean views. Could have been at least one more ala carte restaurant but we really enjoyed the ones they have - ate at both the French and the Mediteranean restaurants twice we liked them so much. Best of all as you will note from TripAdvisor, is the staff - wonderful staff, helpful, and extremely friendly. This resort is not chea [... read more]p, but it is good value from start to finish.

Las Brisas Huatulco: Amazing resort!

Wonderful room, food, weather, and amazing beaches. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay very much. Late night entertainment sound from outside stage carried up to rooms, so it was hard to sleep sometimes

Excellence Playa Mujeres: Fabulous, Fabulous

Had the most wonderful time, a 10 day stay, weather was perfect. Not party people, we were on the lazy river, a nice quiet relaxing place. The pool bar was always hopping if that is your thing. Grounds were very well kept and very clean. Entertainment was really good, although the 'fat elvis' as we called him, shouldn't try to make small talk between songs, a little awkward. (we saw him twice, sang really well). The only thing was the mini bar guy didn't show up for a few days, don't know why, [... read more] but one complaint and it was back on track... missed my chips.... We felt perfectly safe at this resort. I would return.

Riu Flamingos: Riu Jalisco

The Riu Jalisco is a beautiful resort. The ocean, pools, dining rooms are all within walking distance. The hotel is in the shape of a horseshoe more or less which makes all things central. The grounds are kept spotless and the rooms are spacious. Very clean throughout resort.The food is very good with good variety and the special nights are amazing. The Canadian night was very special and well worth your time. The music on this night was extremely beautiful. The staff are polite and always honor [... read more]ed any request we had. They are friendly and make you feel very welcome. If I had one complaint it would be that there is no coffee maker in the rooms. No need to complain otherwise.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Owesome resort

We stayed at the Tropical feb 3-10 2017. Something for everyone at this resort. The cleanest resort we have ever been to. The staff is super friendly and acomodating. The food was great the selection plentiful. It is a great place for kids. You never wanted for anything. The first resort we didn't have to try and reserve beach chairs before 7:00 am. There were fifty chairs per person sun or shade your choice didn't matter what time of day. The grounds were kept emmaculant can't say enough about  [... read more]how well the whole resort is looked after. Would go back here in a heartbeat. Actually if I can swing it going back in march. We had a hard time finding a negative point about this resort. Beach was also beautiful snorkeld with sea turtles everyday. Love this place!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Good resort for chilling out!

The adult only feature is what we wanted. Restaurants were good and beach access via tram was easy.staff were friendly. Everything worked out well for us. at bahia principe you caneat at any other of their resorts in the area we preferred lunch at akamal (sp).

Holiday Inn Ixtapa: Just right 😎

As return visitors to Ixtapa we were very pleasantly surprised by the Holiday Inn. The most outstanding feature of this resort is the staff! Without exception all were most helpful and eager to please. Special shout out to Keilen at the front desk,Adolph,Aden Carlos and Samuel,waiters and Hernando the chef who prepared a veritable feast from the fish that one of our group caught.The rooms were beautiful in the tower. We upgraded from a garden view room that was dark and had no balcony. The meal [... read more]s were well prepared. A great feature was that the snack bar at the beach had made to order food not something that sat out in the sun all day. The fish tacos were amazing. We will be back!

La Isla Huatulco: Dollar value good.

This hotel is trying hard to be an all inclusive. the staff are wonderful rooms clean. food at breakfast and lunch excellent. Dinner leaves a lot to be desired but gives you an opportunity to go into town where there are lots of reasonable restaurants and a wonderful mexician town square. myself being there twice loved having dinner at the beach club by the ocean. really for the price it was offered at I don't think they could do better.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Wonderful~

Everything was great. Great food, rooms clean and well maintained, beach clean, lots of beach chairs and towels, staff very attentive, gardens well groomed and nightly entertainment fun. We attended 3 a la carte restaurants and we were very pleased. We would highly recommend this hotel.

El Cozumeleno Beach: Okay Experience...

A great place for couples. Very quiet resort. Drinks and food only available from 7am-11pm. Pool bar closes very early. Same food served daily - very little variety on a day to day basis. Resort is very close to Cozumel which is convenient for night life and shopping. Great snorkelling and swimming at resort beach. I got absolutely covered in bug bites - sand fleas and mosquitos I think. This has never happened to me at a resort before. My fear was bed bugs however I never found any in the  [... read more]room. Bring lots of spending money if you are an active person as there is very little to do on the resort. Beautiful sunsets and large rooms!

Allegro Cozumel: Beautiful resort

The Allegro is a lovely resort. The rooms are clean and you can choose a first floor or a second floor unit with thatched roof. First floor units have a little patio while the second floor has a balcony. All units have a hammock outside with a table and two chairs. The grounds are pretty and well kept. There are several pools to choose from with a special pool for children. Lots of bars to quench the thirst. The food is tasty and plentiful with a good variety to choose from. There are three a la [... read more] carte restaurants as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The ocean is beautiful. The sand is rather course and not ideal for long walks however. I had read that the walls were thin and noise from adjoining units was a problem, but we did not have any problems. The Allegro is an excellent resort for folks of all ages. The only drawback is that they do not have free WiFi. It can be purchased at a price but people we spoke to were not happy about this.

La Isla Huatulco: the staff make it great

bare bones resort but charming and lots of attentive staff- 3 minute shuttle to beach- food good! alcohol good!! would go again - reasonably priced! quaint pool and restaurant - the staff make this hotel great

Barcelo Karmina: Quaint resort

Smaller resort but still had everything you need for a good vacation. Clean, spacious rooms with decent sized balcony. Beach was small but in a cove so very little waves. Several pools varying in depth cascading down from hotel to the beach providing sounds of waterfalls. Attentive service at both the pool and restaurants. Food at the buffet was OK with limited choices and not always hot but the a la cartes were excellent. We liked the location (just over 30 minutes from ZLO airport) and fe [... read more]lt very safe outside the resort when we checked out the local shops.

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Felt like a vacation!

The hotel grounds were very well kept and looked beautiful. The room was a nice size and we had an ocean viewfrom the 4th floor. The rooms were a good size and we were greeted by a plate of food a bottle of Tequila and two cans of pop. We did end up with two double beds, which were not the most comfortable The room and bathroom could use some repairs but not to the point that it was rundown. Besides we spent our days and part of the evening by the pool or talking to other guests. Over all we ha [... read more]d a very good time and the only thing I would have change is more time there and a place closer to downtown.
