JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: JOIA PARAISO IBEROSTAR

Absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds. Food was everything and anything you could ask for especially the buffet. Highly recommend the Italian and French alacarte restaurants. We would definitely return again.

Ocean Riviera Paradise: Amazing Resort

We booked a Privilege Jr. Suite for our 40th wedding anniversary. Our butler, Lilyann was amazing and Miguel at the beach. They catered to our every need. Food was delicious and our room was very nice. Would go back in a heartbeat. Loved the privilege beach area, the only down side was the sargassum in the water and on shore. Unfortunately it was that time of year and there was nothing the resort could do about it. There was a big infinity pool at the beach so we could swim there.

Riu Latino: AVERAGE AT BEST

This resort is average at best. It is newer and quite clean. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was prepared nicely and the housekeeping staff always did something special for us. We weren't satisfied with the view even though we paid extra for Ocean View. The view is mainly of the courtyard. To see any of the ocean, you need to go onto your balcony. The air conditioning was very loud and made it difficult to have a restful nights sleep. The food was average and the same al [... read more]most everyday. We didn't go hungry at all. There was a bounty of food and options but limited gluten free. Kulinarium restaurant was not good at all and the power went out for 30 minutes while we were dining there. They asked us to leave without serving us our dinner so we left and then the power came back on so we returned to the restaurant but the staff didn't seem to be so happy. We were not impressed with the meal. The steakhouse was the second worst of the restaurants. It was way too bright and loud inside. The ribeye steak was all fat. The Asian restaurant was a buffet style and we ranked it third worst. We enjoyed our meal at the Milan Italian restaurant and we went back a second time. We never went back to any of the other restaurants. The buffet was a somewhat better option than the restaurants. We enjoyed the lobby bar before our dinners but the mosquitos were terrible at night and made it hard to enjoy a drink or two in the open air lobby. The pools were decent. We enjoyed our time around one of the quiet pools which is right next to the waterslides. It was much quieter than the other pools which tended to get very loud and rowdy as the day progressed. We went down the waterslides once during our stay. It is something different that other resorts don't have. People seemed to enjoy going on them. The landscaping is very sparse. The building itself looks very bland. There is zero character. It felt as though we could literally be anywhere. It was so nondescript. We love going to beaches but not this one. We were charged a beach cleaning fee when checking into the resort that we had to pay by credit card. There was tons of seaweed which they tried to keep cleaning but it just kept accumulating. The tractor would pass by all the time and we would smell the strong gas which polluted the air. Walking from the building to the beach was difficult as we had to walk a very long way through deep soft sand. There were no washrooms by the beach. The ocean had lots of seaweed and actual human feces on more than one occasion. It was so bad that we stopped going to the beach altogether and decided to stay by the pool instead for the rest of our vacation. It was disgusting and shocking...something we have never witnessed before in other resorts in Mexico or anywhere else. We think this Costa Playa Mujeres area has a big problem. The entertainment was average and typical. Nothing really stood out to us. The type of guests at this resort ranged from late teens to elderly but the majority was a younger crowd who liked to party and get wasted. We felt it was very ghetto and trashy at times. We observed many incidents of people getting completely intoxicated and falling down, passing out, needing medical attention, screaming and yelling, being pushed around on wheelchairs, fighting with staff and even the police had to come one evening to deal with guest/staff fights. Overall our time at Riu Latino was not worth remembering. We will certainly not be back. There are so many other places to go which are far better Save your money and go elsewhere.

Occidental Cozumel: Beautiful resort set in jungle like setting

Enjoyed entire resort, especially the trees, beach, people and cleanliness of rooms and all public areas on resort. Enjoyed all the wildlife there. Lovely relaxing week. Met friendly travelers. Loved restaurant at the beach. Will return soon.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful Resort

Hotel is beautiful. Food is excellent. Best pool and pool area I have experienced. Hundreds of pool loungers. Lots of friendly staff. Very clean. There are no golf carts to take guests to different areas. There is a no charge bus to take you to the sister resorts. Lots of palm trees for shade on the beach. The beach is not as nice as the old photos indicate. Excellent resort except for the rocky beach.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Top Notch!

We spent a week here (June ‘26) and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff were lovely, friendly and engaging. The activity crew were amazing, especially Joselyn, who was so outgoing and really took pride in her work. The food was excellent! There were delicious selections at the buffet (we only ate breakfast and a few dinners here) but enjoyed it very much! The Asian and Mexican à la cart restaurants were extraordinary. No pre-booking required and no long waits. The rooms are spread out in colou [... read more]rful bungalow type units. Our room had high ceilings and was well air conditioned. There are fresh water refill stations spread across the resort with glass jugs in the room to fill. The bar fridge was well stocked daily with beer and soft drinks. The beautiful trees and landscaping, with birds singing all day was my favourite part, along with the beautiful flamingos and peacocks roaming the paths. The only small downside was the coral entry to the beach. Water shoes were a must but the beach had plenty of lounge chairs and there was lots of room with nice white sand. There is a long pier with entry to the water which was great. . I would highly recommend this resort. Many patrons staying at the hotel had been multiple times and I can understand why! We would highly recommend the Iberostar Waves Resort!

Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres: Amazing resort!

We had an amazing time during our stay at Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres! We originally booked to attend a friend's wedding, but we were blown away by the beauty and service at the resort. The grounds and buildings were all clean and beautifully decorated. The beach and pools were clean, and we appreciated that there were so many chairs/beds so we had no problems finding spots in a great location every time. The service at the restaurants and bars were excellent. The food was phenomenal! We ap [... read more]preciated having plenty of options for everyone. Every staff member we interacted with were always so helpful, whether it be the excursion information at the towel booths/Go Majestic, or the concierge and check-in staff. We booked on the Adults only Club side and loved our butler, Novelo. He always went above and beyond, ensuring we were taken care of. We are extremely pleased with our stay and can't wait to return!

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Super relaxing

The food was absolutely incredible and better than I expected and I really enjoyed my time. It was super relaxing, and the staff are so kind. We had a couple issues with our phone for room service, but we just used our personal phones.

Dreams Riviera Cancun: Check-In a Huge Disappointment

Upon arrival clerk told us our 2 grandkids weren’t included & we would have to pay upfront for them. Even when we produced all the documents from or travel agent, which included their names & payment invoices, there still was a problem. We even showed her our request for 2 cribs. After a stressful 45min she came back to us insinuating that she cleared everything up. The only thing she did was add to a very long day with 2 year old twins. Two days later one of the cribs broke in the middle o [... read more]f the night, tossing one of the babies on the floor. Very disappointed, could have been a very serious situation, luckily no one was seriously injured. Please ensure all cribs are checked for safety prior to use. Not the start to our vacation we had hoped.

GR Solaris Lighthouse: Good trip

We have been here at least 5 times. Great resort. All staff are wonderful except the front staff were not helpful sometimes. Special shout out to Jonas. We met him at the buffet and restaurant by the ocean.

Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful spot wonderful property and the food was amazing. The golf course and the staff are great. The only thing was the seaweed on the beach, your contract company did a great job cleaning up. Looking forward to our return to the coral resort.

Catalonia Playa Maroma: Very good value

Family and couple friendly. Beach had a lot of seaweed but that was an issue across mexico this season. great food and hospitality. snorkelling from the boat launch at beach was good, not great, but very convenient. Would recommend.

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya: Perfect vacation

My husband and I stayed at the resort and had an incredible time! The resort was beautiful very clean and well maintained Our stay at Hyatt Zilara was overall a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. The service truly stood out — the staff was consistently friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed everyday. We were greeted with champagne and a lovely smile upon arrival. Our favourite restaurants were the Italian (Alejandro) our server was the best, made every dinner extra special.  [... read more]The Mexican was our lunch spot and never disappointed food and service amazing. The drinks at every bar were delicious and the bartenders were always very attentive. Would definitely come back. Hyatt top notch

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Pros and Cons

This resort definitely needs some upkeep, especially in relation to air conditioning in the rooms. The first room we had had no air flow and was like sleeping in a sauna. Luckily we did manage to get moved the next day to a room with some working air conditioning. Furniture in a lot of venues needs to be replaced. Especially in Allegre Bar and couches in Reception. They are so old the padding is gone. Also, there are no working whirlpools. The groundskeepers also need to respect the guest at [... read more] this property. We had just been swimming in one of the relaxation pools and were relaxing on a lounger when a groundskeeper came in, walked in front of us and started chopping down palm fronds near us and then tossing them in the pool making it so we couldn't swim there any longer. We felt uncomfortable so got up and went elsewhere. On the positive side, the hotel staff could not do enough for you to try and make your stay comfortable. Big shout out to Arnandan and Cynthia, the two concierges who went above and beyond to ensure myself and 82 year old mother got a working air con room and provided a large stand fan. Also, shout out to Sarahi, our new concierge, who had our noisy ceiling fan fixed within minutes, arranged for some pesos to be changed into smaller bills, and provided us with her umbrella when we didn't have one in our room. A big plus was the food. It was exceptional!!. Oh. I forgot to mention Wilson in Ventanas. He was the best server!. So sweet, kind, funny and respectful! I definitely didn't go hungry and always found something yummy to eat!! The pools were plentiful and so warm and inviting with clear blue water. We never had a problem with getting a pool chair when we went for breakfast at 7 30. Probably because it is low season.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Overstate selection Paraíso lindo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. I thought their entertainment at the pool was really fun. The food was delicious. The pool setup was very nice. All the different pools. Lots of chairs. If we wanted to suggest anything we would say absolutely nothing. It was all wonderful.

Riu Latino: Fantastic Resort

Our first time at this resort and we loved it. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Our room was a good size and the fridge and bar was well stocked. Lots of food choices and plenty of it, you won't go hungry. Bar services were top notch, and they do not water down the drinks. All the pools were great, and we had no trouble in getting a lounge all week. All the staff were top notch. The nightly shows were fantastic. We highly recommend this resort.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Fantastic Resort!

My Friend and i spend an amazing week at RIU Palace costa Mujeres and loved every minute of it The room 3156 was spacious and bright, comfortable location, easy access to all amenities . Service was top notch , very attentive staff everywhere. The resort itself well maintained and super clean. Food was plenty and good variety, we were not hungry. Delicious drinks at the bar.

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Mostly fantastic!

My mother and I went for 11 days in May and found this hotel had some great qualities. Clean, good sized rooms with comfy beds and only 25 minutes from the airport. A good sized hotel, spread out but walkable and they have elevators so for people with mobility issues it's great! The entertainment was decent and there were always clean towels in the rooms and at the pool. The games room and bowling was a nice plus (open daily 3-11, operating on a first come, first served basis). All of the l [... read more]obby servers/bartenders were top-notch! I have food allergies and the staff at guest services (Sergio and Estrella) were great. They helped me navigate all of the buffets and restaurants so that I didnt have to worry about having a reaction. My only complaints are that the pools could be kept much cleaner and the raccoons are a major hindrance, I would watch out if you have small children as they will climb right up on them, the raccoons are everywhere after dusk. The beach is also a bit small/skinny and there was sargassum which wasn't too bad while we were there, but we're not beach people so it was fine. Would still return for a good price. Thanks to Tammy Beamish at TC for this holiday.

Riu Yucatan: Amazing resort

Clean and friendly . Everything accessible . Great pools, clean beach. The best thing for us was - no a la carte reservation and no seating arrangement at the buffet. It made our stay comfortable and flexible. Great fun activities such as sport classes and fun planned events such as foam party and more
