Holiday Inn Resort Los Cabos: Definitely worth visiting

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Cabo for one week. It was a very clean, comfortable, centrally located hotel which was very well maintained. The hotel is older however the grounds, beach, 3 pool areas, restaurants and facilities are great. You can not swim in the ocean however other beaches are available close-by. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and very polite. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to San Jose which is worth visiting. Definitely a hotel I would stay at again.

Azul Ixtapa Resort: Very relaxing genuine holiday

The holiday got off to a rocky start, our flight was delayed causing arrival at 10:30pm instead of 7:30pm. A lot of confusion at the hotel with the crushing throng added to our apprehension. That was the start. After getting a decent night we surveyed the beautiful resort which is spread out along the beach and pool (two large) where we found the grounds and hotel were attended by a well organized and substantial staff. The staff were pleasant and looked to fulfill our every need. It is a v [... read more]ery family oriented hotel with many services to assist with children where needed.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great Week

We have been to this resort 4 times. It is a huge resort and we enjoyed walking on a long beach. The food was good and all the workers very friendly. We were very disappointed with our room. We did request a top floor room with a view. My travel agent Sent in our request and I emailed as well...I would have thought a "repeat guests request" would have been honored..We had a first floor room right next to the entrance which was very noisy all night. And our view was to the back of a Tennis  [... read more]court and mini swamp. But we triedtried not to focus on that and enjoyed our week.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Very disappointed!!

Our first impression of the hotel was that it would be a great location for our 7 day vacation. Check in was an absolute mess, everything to do with the front desk left us feeling frustrated. This was only the beginning of our disappointment with the grand oasis.

Villablanca Huatulco: Hotel Villablanca great hotel

This hotel has all that you need for a comfortable stay in Huatulco. Breakfast is fabulous with lots of choices, grounds are kept very clean and the staff are wonderful and helpful. You are in a central location as well.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: My Warm Home Away from Home

The RDC is my go to vacation destination. the staff, and I mean all the staff from the ground up are all friendly and amazing! No complaints at all from me. Amazing place to go. Once you go you will go back time and time again

HS Hotsson Smart Acapulco: Crowne Plaza Acapula MEX

This Hotel was very Clean. Staff was very good and very helpful, Pools clean and lots of fun. areas at the pools Dining and food was good with lots of choice. The Music in the open area was little to loud in the evenings It is better to be in the rooms 10 floors up or higher as it is a bit loud at night time. I do enjoy the Band and it was good and lots of fun dancing

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Lovely Resort

Fantastic vacation. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We greatly enjoyed the efforts of the staff to ensure we had a great time. The food was top notch. The buffet was great, with many choices. The restaurants were amazing! Such unique flavours and dishes and so many unique choices. Also appreciated the grounds and rooms were very clean. The beach was nicely maintained to keep the seaweed manageable. There are 4 four pools with a different focus at each - kids pool, regular pool with  [... read more]music and activities, adult pool with music and bar, and the quiet pool.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great hotel!

My family and my kids very much enjoyed this hotel! It is very geared towards families and there is plenty to do. The nightly shows aren't the greatest but you can tell they work very hard and it was enjoyable. The adult infinite pool is amazing as well. We would go back!

Royal Solaris: Very good resort

I thought the hotel was very good for an older hotel. The food was good but limited. The rooms were very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. The beaches area was great and extremely spacious .

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Excellent vacation

We were there in early January with our friends. Four of us in total. Our friends have been to many properties in Mexico and they both agreed that this property had a lot going for it. The beach was excellent, clean warm water, powdery sand and enough chairs for all of the guests. The restaurants were have great services and food and since there was no reservations necessary, we were accommodated with out the restrictions of a reservation. I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a pr [... read more]emium vacation experience.

Secrets Huatulco: Photos do not do it justice!

Our representative Teelah Brown made the best recommendation possible when it came to this resort. This surprise anniversary gift for my wife was beyond our expectations and the travel photos do not do the Secrets Huatulco justice. The oceanfront room views with mountainous terrain sunrise and sunsets were incredible. The rooms were immaculate for cleanliness and the layouts were perfect for anniversary/honeymooner couples to celebrate.

Teelah, Thank you for your assistance with this wonderful trip!You and trip central have all my future travel business because of this experience.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Great Resort

The resort was kept very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. Food was good, buffet always had lots of choices. Entertainment staff and shows were good, always including the guests.

Grand Sunset Princess: Average at best not worthy of 4 star rating.

I would say that having researched MANY hotels online before we booked, we chose this one because it seemed to be good value for what you get. We booked the platinum section, which was closest to the beach, and supposedly allowed us premium service and premium alcohol. It was more convenient, and I am glad we did that, though I was disappointed that while we got premium alcohol options, we were served instant coffee. The Grand Sunset Princess is is rated a 4 star resort, but in many ways, I w [... read more]ould classify it as 2 star or 3 star. I travel a lot, and have been to many 4 and 5 star resorts in the Maya Riviera. This is my least favorite so far. First and foremost the food in the restaurants is absolutely terrible. Let me rephrase that - if you are used to eating microwaved and frozen food at home, then you might not find the food that bad. But wow - it was the worst food I have ever had at an all-inclusive resort in any country. In all fairness, I read the poor food reviews before we booked, but some people (clearly devoid of taste buds) had mentioned that the food was actually good, so we decided that it couldn't be all that bad. We were three families that traveled together and collectively we tried almost all of the restaurants. In the end it was disappointment all the way around, and we all ended up eating at the buffet. The buffet wasn't bad (at least had lots of fresh veggie and fruit options, and the bread was great, as were the chips and salsa/guacamole) but it was a lot of the same lunch and dinner, and so it got tired after awhile. The kids Pirate buffet was the worst - food turned to rubber under heat lamps for who knows how long - burgers swimming in a congealed pot of liquid water/grease mixture. So disgusting. The resort itself, upon arriving was very clean and the grounds look beautiful. The beach in front of the resort was nice too - we walked a good distance along the beach in both ways and our beach was among the best for swimming and lounging. It did have a lot rocks that you have to watch out for while wading into the water. Water shoes for small kids is a good idea. The rooms are clean, though musty smelling, and the balcony areas often smelled swampy. You will be hard pressed to find a platinum room with ocean views because most of the rooms but up against the unmanicured jungle areas (protected), so basically you are staring into knarly jungle bush. If you are lucky and get an upper room, your chances of having a slice of ocean view is better. If you have small kids who wake up easily, I found it very annoying to have the maintenance staff yelling across the courtyard at 7:00am. It echoed and was much louder than I am sure they realized. This happened every morning. The drinks were mainly good, but inconsistent in how they were made/tasted from one bar to the next. I love mojitos, and one bar did them well, and a few of the others had so much bar lime that they were sickly sour/sweet. I just ordered from the bar that did them well. Consistency would be nice though. The pools were nice, but need some repair in the tiles. My son scratched up the back of his legs sliding off a tiled stool in the pool that had lost its tiles. Don't forget to pack sunscreen, bug spray, room snacks, as any incidentals that you forget are VERY expensive on resort (common sense). The gym was nice and machines were in good working order. The spa was average for ambiance, but the massage therapist was amazing. That's about it. All in all, I won't be going back and I wouldn't recommend it to friends. There are many better options in the Mayan Riviera.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: The good and the bad.....

The resort was very nice. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bathrooms had nice flushing toilets and showers good water pressure and temperature. We loved the proximity that our room was to the beach and the pools were really close to the beach. For the size of the resort the amenities were really well thought out and didn't require too much walking. The food was good also with the japenese and santa fe restraunts being our favorite. The only c [... read more]omplaint I have is the evening entertainment was very boring. The live shows lacked big time and all the other entertainment you had to pay for and it was not cheap like the bowling, golfing... so some evenings felt really long for our kids.

Grand Palladium Select White Sand: Organized, clean, and plenty of assistance on the resort and great food

The room was called: Mayan Suite Imperial Club. It was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing to watch the fish swim to our balcony every morning. I highly recommend this room for couples. There was lots of room, it was clean, close to the pool, beach, restaurants and lobby. The buffet was excellent; lot of choices for adults and children. The restaurants were clean and had very good choices. I recommend during peak seasons to book reservations for a la carte restaurants to ensure a table, which [... read more] I have done. This worked well over the Christmas and New Year holidays. The entertainment was speculator for the family shows and another one for the adults; it was great to have two shows. The beaches were clean and beautiful to swim in for everyone. The activities on the beaches were exciting: live bands, buffets, and much more. Please try the resort, it's been a worthwhile experience, since I have been to Mexico many times. The agent was very helpful and detailed in deciding the resort that suit our concerns: a variety of a la carte restaurants with great food and service and buffets and swimmable and clean beaches...she highly recommend this resort.

Secrets Huatulco: Relaxing vacation.

As this was our 2nd time to Secrets Huatulco, we did know what to expect. Upon arrival we were put into building 3, but asked if we could change to building 5. They could not do it that day, but 2 days later. We really enjoyed our new room. Our room in building 3 had no coffee maker, nor were there the usual touches like flowers in the room, or rose petals on the bed. When we arrived to our room 5306 these touches were here. It is just the small things that can make a difference. Just cu [... read more]rious why the standard rooms would not have the same amenities? Our flight home was not until 6pm-pick-up from hotel was 2:45pm. Upon arrival we asked for either a late check-out or a hospitality room to shower before we leave. The hotel could not accommodate us until the day of departure. It would be nice to give an automatic late check-out for those flying later in the day. All in all, this trip was exactly what we were looking for: good weather and a relaxing week and we got both! The food was pretty good-our favorite was the French restaurant. The steak was fantastic! We will definitely go with Secrets again!

Allegro Cozumel: Great fun and awesome people

The grounds and public areas were clean and beautifully landscaped The beach was fantastic Rooms were clean and comfy with extra everything if you want.. a little noisy on the upper level because the neighbors can be heard thru the thatched roof.

All broken games offer is disappointment and this is the only thing to do at night if you don't go to the disco. There is a large sidewalk area that runs along the bush area with a fence. People use it to get to their rooms but there is no path lighting. Bad Biting itchy Bugs, we had bites everywhere, not sure what they were from!! There are mosquitos. But these were also something else. The excursions were great The rent a car guy was not very accommodating when late Only went to a few night shows.. A night of magic would be cool, Better advertising for the night features ( posters or in room booklets) And downtown schedules and good maps... closed on Sunday was a surprise... for the markets Best Part by far is the service people.. the waiters, bar tenders and room attendants.. obviously working for tips but they were friendly and personable... a little more English would go along way for their success (tips)

Riu Emerald Bay: Very Nice Resort

the staff,food and grounds all excellent,the rooms were ok,clean but starting to show their age the only thing I did not like about this location was the lagoon right next to the resort,it was disgusting full of garbage and smelled bad,it needs to be cleaned up ASAP

Excellence Playa Mujeres: Best resort ever!

The food, service, cleanliness, drinks, garden and ornaments, pools, and bars were top of the line luxurious and excellent! Would go back in a minute and/or try the other 'Excellence' resorts. It's an elegant vacation!
