Paradisus Playa del Carmen: No beach! Too much that’s not included!

Clean. Good service. Modern design. Food was just ok. Way too many items on menus are for extra charge! Too many areas, pools, restaurants, are off limits for families. Nicer areas were for adults only. Beach completely off limits and no one told us this until we showed up!!! After many attempts with the staff to even organize a one day trip to a nicer area of the beach, we were denied. A sister resort had access to a clean beach, taking some of the guests there even for the day should have been [... read more] done. At the very least we should have been told about the beach situation. This was a beach resort vacation with not beach!!!

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Disappointed

Once we finally got into our room we asked 4 times for extra bedding. The day I took it of a housekeeping cart. The resort shows no compassion with anybody with a non-visible disability! My six year-old autistic, grandson lost his bracelet We searched for it with no success. Explained the situation and we’re still required to pay $150 US replacement.

El Dorado Royale: Great Resort

The grounds and rooms are beautiful. Everything is clean and well kept. The service right from the beginning to end. Axel at the front desk was so helpful and accommodating our needs. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and Victor was an excellent server. Could not have anyone better! The pools are wonderful with all the swim up bars. There are quieter pools and some with more action and fun. The food was really good. The staff helped us celebrate two special occasions by doing special things for [... read more] us. On Canada we received special chocolates. The only downfall was you could not use the ocean.

Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa: Interesting Resort

This hotel needs an update overall but the rooms are fine. The restaurants were buffet for breakfast and lunch but a-la carte only for dinner which was great. My issue was with the lack of nightly entertainment. They use one room with pool tables and let the guests sing karaoke to entertain themselves. The pool area was nice, clean and staff would come around and service you drinks all day. The beach always had a red flag because of the high waves. I would not stay here again because I want more [... read more] of a luxury hotel with entertainment.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Our favourite place

We keep coming back to Barcelo Palace. Tried many other resourts as well....but this is the one we like! Amazing staff, food, restaurants and turtles ? The hotel does a great job with cleaning seaweed too !

Barcelo Maya Palace: Fantastic family resort

Beautiful resort with immaculate grounds and beautiful beach. Staff never stopped working to maintain the grounds. Bar and wait staff were fast and efficient. The food was delicious, and had choices for even the pickiest eaters. The kids buffet was a hit for our kids! The kids club was welcoming and had awesome activities every hour. Room was spacious, clean and quiet! Can’t wait to go back!

Barcelo Maya Palace: Great Resort

What a great place, beautifully maintained.very quick to fix any issues. Food was excellent, from the buffet to the alacarte restaurants, not a complaint. And as someone with a severely food allergy that is saying a lot. Lots to do, and no pressure if you wanted to just relax.

Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa: Great resort

Secrets Bahia Mita, PV, is a beautiful place to stay. The staff, pools and restaurants met all of our expectations-friendly, helpful, clean and the food was very good if you went to the adults only sit down restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the food and staff at The Blue Water restaurant-beef dishes were outstanding and beautifully presented. It’s close to the beach too and if you’re lucky, you can see it before the sun sets. Not the best place if you have walking issues-beach, large pools an [... read more]d most restaurants are about a 10 minute walk door to door. We would NOT recommend the preferred club upgrade unless you feel you need top of the line alcohol and a more private bar area. Coors light is available and house wines were pretty good! Watch out for the very charming, friendly greeters at the checkin desk and around resort-they try to talk you into a 90 minute presentation re: vacation club advantages. Overall, we’re glad we stayed at this hotel!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Very good bang for buck

I think overall it's quite good but falls short of real "5 star luxury". I've only been to one other resort which was actually this sister property next door. This definitely felt like a solid step up from that - especially the buffet. Rooms were quite good, we got the private hot tub room but it was more like a regular tub with a few jets. You could add hot or cold water. We were in building one which was pretty quiet but a bit far from restaurants. Went into the town for a day via shuttle whic [... read more]h was $5 USD/person/way. I would return for another week if the price was right.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Best trip ever

I absolutely loved the time i had at the Tulum resort. From the front counter staff that were very attentive and prompt in any of our requests, the wait staff that continously kept us hydrated and entertained, to the entertainment team that kept us smiling. Even the cleaners were pleasant. Everyone made us feel like we were home away from home. I will never forget our new friends and I can't wait to come back.

Riu Flamingos: Perfect week

The service was great. Resort clean and well staffed. Ocean swimming was a blast. The weather report was saying rain the whole time but it was fabulous and a good mix of sun and cloud. It rained briefly overnight but days were amazing! Lots of shade and umbrellas for rent in the beach!

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY – COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT AT A “5-STAR” RESORT

I recently stayed at Barceló Maya Beach Resort for a 3-day trip, and it was an absolute disaster from the moment we checked in. I booked this resort based on the glowing 4.7-star reviews and the fact that it’s listed as a 5-star hotel on Google. That rating is completely misleading – I now believe many of those reviews must be fake. This trip was meant to be a special celebration for my friend’s birthday. Instead, it turned into a frustrating, poorly managed experience. Here’s why: • Terrib [... read more]le Transportation: No buggies available anywhere. The only shuttle bus between lobbies runs every 25 minutes, making it extremely inconvenient just to move around the resort. • Faulty Air Conditioning: Our room was hot and uncomfortable. Even after multiple complaints, nothing was done. • Staff Don’t Act on Issues: While the staff were polite, they consistently failed to take action. It felt like we were just being pacified and ignored. • The Food is a Joke: For a resort in Mexico, there was no authentic Mexican food. No tacos. No spice. No flavor. Just bland, low-quality buffet food. The “all-inclusive” option is misleading — it covers only buffet and snack bars. Most à la carte restaurants are paid, and even the paid ones were awful. • Birthday Ruined: I had arranged a birthday cake and wine through guest services, and they assured us the cake would be delivered to our room at 7 PM. We waited. No one came. At 8 PM we called to check, and they casually said the request wasn’t valid because it wasn’t made 24 hours in advance — even though they confirmed it themselves earlier! Totally unacceptable. • Beach Was Dirty: The beach was a huge letdown. It looked beautiful in the photos, but in reality, it was not clean. There were strange red deposits all along the shore – not sure what it was, but it made the water look uninviting and the experience unpleasant. • Pool Bar Chaos: The pool bar had only two staff members serving a huge crowd. We had to wait over 15 minutes just to get a drink. On a hot vacation day, that’s the last thing anyone wants. • The Only Good Thing – Spa: The spa was the only part of this resort that met expectations. Clean, professional, relaxing. Everything else was below 2-star quality. This place does not deserve a 4.7-star rating. If you’re considering it for a special occasion, please look elsewhere. I wouldn’t go back here even for free.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great resort!

The resort was really nice. Very clean and well maintained. The food was good and the staff were very friendly. We went at the end of June though and the beach wasn’t very nice. It might just have been the season.

Breathless Cancun Soul: so good!

I loved it here - the service was amazing and the resort was extremely clean. I truly think it was well done. The food options were great, the rooms were clean, the pools were well kept. Drinks were slightly watered down.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: The perfect Resort that healed me❤️

This resort was the absolute perfect haven for the rest, reset and healing that we were looking for. The staff (Omero, Luis, Juan Carlos, Amparo, Alex the Turtle King, Marrisa, Isreal, Gabriel, Adrianna) went above and beyond taking care of our every need, at any given moment of the day. The feeling of being welcomed home from the moment Juan the front desk greeter handed me a cold margarita after our very long travel day to being bid farewell and come back soon as we left in the early morning f [... read more]ully guarantees we will return again. The whole resort was immaculate, beautiful gardens and lovely spaces for meals that were so so amazing. The hard work to remove the seaweed was admirable and I simply cannot express my gratitude for this oasis for my heart and soul. Thank you Akumal Bay Resort for a magical first visit to Mexico xo

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Good resort to relax

We had a comfortable week at this quiet, clean resort. Everything worked out well: good management, friendly and enthusiastic staff, relaxing meditation sessions . However, we avoid coming here this season because of sargassum: dirty beaches, plus environment fee, plus visitax.

Seadust Cancun Beach Resort: Amazing experience

We had a great experience, all the staff were so attentive, caring and helpful. It is a family place the kids had a lot of fun, only thing the kid’s pool was closed the last 2 days before our trip finished and the place needs some renovations.

Sandos Playacar Beach Resort: Amazing Family Resort

The hotel exceeded our expectation. I was very scared and not knowing what to expect when booking but I am glad I followed my guts. when we got to the Resort it's was screaming cleanliness, good vibe, the front desk guy was amazing. The atmosphere was very comforting especially when the temperature was over bearing (oven). By the time we were done checking in, we were shown our room and getting in, the bedroom and bathroom was immaculately clean (if there is a better word to describe our room it [... read more] would be it). The food was exceptional, there was food for everyone even the picky eater like myself and the kids lol. The beach and swimming pool was neva crowded and there was games and drinks available. Public washrooms were in very good condition and was always smelling nice. Basically myself and my family did have a blast. The boys still talk about the fun they had. The only negative thing I would say about the Resort was the wait time on getting a mini cart to drive you to the main buffet or the beach and and it does not run 24hrs. With little ones, we had to take the mini cart ( my kids call it Gertrude the train) because its takes about 20mins to walk to the main buffet and another 10mins to the beach, and it was a rush in when it comes due to other families waiting on the mini cart. Overall our stay was fantastic and I would visit again.

Riu Santa Fe: Great time at RIU Santa Fe

Had a great time at Riu Santa Fe. The resort is well kept. Rooms are modern and well equipped. Beds were comfortable. The only complain is that most of the A Lacarte restaurants are buffet style. The steak house is not but you have to line up at 5:00 pm to get a place. I don’t understand why they just don’t take reservations and spare us from standing in the blazing sun for min 45 min. Otherwise the food was good and in abundance. Ancaster

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: An Upscale Laid-Back Spot

From rooms to food and service, this resort does everything right. My room was very clean and had a recently renovated feel to it. Resort workers and waiters are friendly and fast. There is a small coral reef next to the resort so be sure to pack a snorkel! Live music almost every night made for great nights at the lobby bar after spending the day on the beach. Great food and drinks, you'll never go hungry. An excellent place, especially if you're looking for something lively but laid-back witho [... read more]ut the parties.
