If they would have told us we would have to wait 2hours we would have just used bathroom to change and access pool. But they did not for quite some time. So the kids were restless. Once we got an answer we changed and went to pool. Just frustrating.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great resort

The hotel was great the staff was helpful in anyway the food was good the views were breath taking and we took a trip to Puerto Vallarta board walk and had great time with fresh seafood from the ocean thank you for a great trip I would recommend this hotel for families lots for kids to do

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun: Nice Resort

It was a very nice hotel. The restaurants were great. Food was excellent. Very expensive spa. Pools are very well kept and the drinks are yummy. The beach is fantastic, you do not need water shoes at all, no rocks just pure white sand in the ocean. The only thing we did not like was that the shows started a couple of hours after dinner so we were bored till they started.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Quiet and peaceful

Beautiful Resort, lots of quiet places to relax and unwind. Staff was friendly and attentive, made the resort feel like home. The resort was not on the beach, however knew that going into booking.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Amazing Time!

This hotel is currently under renovations as we knew about this before we went and contrary to what others have wrote on Trip Advisor the construction was NO BIG DEAL. Unless you plan to sleep all day in your room in which case you may hear some of the banging but otherwise the noise is limited to 10-5 everyday. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, monkeys, birds, flamingos as you walk around the resort. The pools are spotless and the entertainment staff at the activities pool are a blast and s [... read more]o accommodating (especially Marialuna and Ali). The food was really good and selection of restaturants (and the fact that you do not need to make reservations in advance - this was a first for us) was amazing. There was food choices for everyone - even the pickiest of eaters. Bars and bartenders and servers were phenomenal and would serve top shelf booze if requested and always with a smile. We had pool side service and an amazing server (Noemi) who always made sure we were taken care of. I would and will definitely go back to this resort. My only complaint if I had one was the beach and it is small (but we knew that going in and made the best of it).

Grand Palladium Kantenah: Resort review

The food was not great, the hotel was far too large for my liking. The beach was full of rock and coral ..not something I was sure about. The only place I enjoyed was the salt water pool ..it's still quite far from hotel but it was the only place I found enjoyable

Grand Riviera Princess: Beautiful resort

Grand describes the grounds and gardens. Food was good. Drinks were excellent. Service was also excellent. Rooms were clean and spacious. Beach was lovely. Pools were exceptionally clean and many to choose from, always enough lounges at any time of the day! Personally prefer smaller resorts as there was a lot of walking to get to and from the beach area and the main lobby - but hey, a little exercise is always good for you!

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Ocean Coral and Turquesa - first time visit to Mexico

from the moment we landed it was a terrific experience! It was a first time visit to Mexico and everything went smooth from the transfer to the hotel to the transfer back. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The entertainment was top notch. The rooms were clean and the food was great. We met other travelers during our stay & we are planning a return visit same time next year to the same resort. It was a five star experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: recommended resort

All areas at the resort were clean. Food was good with an amazing variety. Staff were friendly. Good entertainment at night. Never had to be concerned about getting a lounge chair at the pool or beach. WiFi available 24 hours. It was along drive to the hotel but well worth it and was a very relaxing holiday!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Amazing Resort

This resort is great. the grounds are well kept and clean. No issues with the food, lots of options. the beach is clean with great service. all in all, a great resort. It is a large resort but lots of trolley's available. Overall, you will not get any better service throughout.

Grand Riviera Princess: Beautiful Property

The hotel itself was beautiful and very large. Lots of trees ,wildlife and flowers. Beautifully kept. We had no issue getting around as we enjoyed the walk up to the buffet/restaurants and back after. But every now and the would catch the tram the travels back and forth every 15-20 mins. We were in the far end of building 6 and quite close to the beach which we liked. The room was comfortable,air conditioning worked perfectly. The bar fridge was stocked daily with water,soft drinks and beer. [... read more]No complaints about the room at all ! Lots of pools running through the resort if your'e a pool person and several bars close by to get drinks. We are beach people and we found a spot in the adults only area on the beach that was perfect.We generally stay at adults only resorts so we were happy to find an adults only area on the beach as there were a lot of kids. A palapa,a bar close by and a beautiful view! The beach unfortunatly has a fair bit of rock in the water in this area ,so you need to be quite careful where you walk. Water shoes or sandals would have been a good idea.All in all we enjoyed a perfect week of sun in our spot on the beach. The drinks were very good and most days there was waiter service. My only real complaint was the food. The specialty restaurants were mediocre at best. Reservations had to be made in advance and times were very limited. We ate at the Steak House,The Mexican and Asian restaurants. Of the 3 the asian was the better of the 3 but still not great. The rib eye at the steak house was sub par and the coconut shrimp appetizer was like something out of the frozen food section. The Mexican restaurant was disappointing . Again,very mediocre . After these 3 we just went to the buffet for the rest of the evenings.We could usually find something there. Breakfast at the buffets was also disappointing. The omelette station used a lot of oil and so everything was oily. Most mornings the bacon was so over cooked it was almost inedible. Much of the food that was preprepared was luke warm at best. The fruit selection was sad, a lot of fruit in syrup !! We never went hungry but the food was not as enjoyable as we had hoped it would be. Everything was over cooked and it was next to impossible to find a hot potato or vegatable anywhere. The Beachbar Grill was our most enjoyable lunch of the week. What was amazing was the coconut ice cream at the ice cream shop !!! While we didn't love the food,the beach was great and the weather was perfect !! This is a large beautiful resort that has a lot of families and weddings. We got a good deal so Would i go back??????? For the right price, yes I would .

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: Meh

The resort itself is very nice but one key comment that I kept looking over when I read the reviews is how poor the beach is; very weedy and water is brownish. Found a few of the staff at dinner to be quite rude. Our room smelt and the power kept going out, other then that it was pretty good.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Great place

My overall rating is good however, we originaly booked accros the street at the villas canto del sol and I was not impressed with the facilities, it was quit disapointing that the overall look of the building was very old and dark it needs alot of maintenance and remodelation. The receptionist wa able to give a room at Canto del sol near the beach and I really liked the resort, everybody was very friendly and they had excellent service.

Grand Riviera Princess: Wedding dream come true!

The hotel grounds, pools, beach, and rooms were incredible. Our resort wedding coordinator, Lizeth, helped to group our entire wedding group telogether in one section of the resort to make it easy to stay together. She made our day stress-free because she was so organized and friendly and just PERFECT! I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect trip to celebrate our wedding with family and friends. A dream come true!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an

I loved the room that we stayed at as it was large and modern. We had a hot tub out front we took advantage of daily. It was our first stay at the Sian Ka'an our previous stay was at Akumal and it has it's own charms. We spent two wonderful weeks in the sun with only one rain day, which is amazing in itself. We took advantage of two excursions while we were there: Rio Secreto and Coba, both are 1/2 days. I really enjoyed the caves but the going is treacherous at times and I did not climb the p [... read more]yramid as it was high noon and I am not in great shape. I enjoyed learning about the Mayan culture and about human sacrifices. My favorite part was the private beach which was pristine and full of fish. You did not need to have any equipment to see the fish in the clear water. My second favorite was the food at the buffet, it was very good and plentiful. My one regret is that they often ran out of Rose wine which is my favorite. We did try some of the a la carte restaurants but I did not find them anything special and one was just awful. I would recommend this resort in general but enjoyed the little extra perks from the adults only.

Grand Riviera Princess: Fantastic Resort for families

The resort was absolutely beautiful, with several a la carte restaurants and amazing buffets. Whether you want a quiet day at the pool, or an exciting day filled with games and activities at the swim up bar or on the beach, this resort has it all! The resort staff was friendly and helpful We will be back next year!

Sunscape Sabor Cozumel: Sunscape Sabor Cozumel

Have traveled to Cozumel 4 times and the last 3 have been at Sunscape Sabor . You will not find a staff that is any better than at this resort . They make you feel as if this is your home . They are so friendly and helpful . The accommodations are great and so is the choices on the food menu . I would recommend this resort to anyone and I will be returning there again next year .

Riu Santa Fe: 2nd visit as good as the first

This Riu is very clean and well cared for which I believe sets it apart from other resorts, my last trip was in '09 and it looks like it hasnt aged a day. The food was ok but was disappointed that they didn't have themed dinners at the buffet or a employee manned pasta station. Staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. The bar and fridge was adequately stocked our entire trip. Entertainment is typical of this type of resort. The WiFi was the most reliable I've had a resort. There are at least 5 d [... read more]ifferent pools 3 of which have swim up bars. Swimming out front of the resort is not recommended.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great resort / rocky beach

Great resort. Everyone is friendly. Expensive WiFi access and lobby WiFi is kinda weak. Sand was good but rocky once u r in the water; suggest to bring proper footwear if you want to spend time. Far ride from the airport. Don Pablo and le gourmet was great. Tequila the restaurant is something you want to avoid.

Grand Riviera Princess: Lovely resort!

Grounds were immaculate, room was clean (a little tired though), the bed was comfortable. The food was good, not great but no one in our party got sick which is a good thing. The beach was nice with lots of lounges and the pools were clean. The staff were all very pleasant. We personally prefer a smaller resort but had no complains.
