Grand Palladium Kantenah: Loved this resort.

This is a large resort, but we loved it. We walked everyday on the covered paths, which were beautiful and clean. The food was the best we ever had, from the buffet to the restaurants. The night we arrived we ate at the Sports Bar, this was awesome. The drinks were really good too, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were top notch. I didn't bring my hairdryer, and was very surprised at the nice one they had in the bath [... read more]room, I think it was better then mine. The beach was a bit rocky, but if you move further down on the Kantenah end of the beach, it is sandier. We were in the ocean everyday, it was beautiful, and would return again for sure!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing resort

We stayed for 8 nights at the Sian Kaan Bahia Principe Hotel. Our stay was magnificent. We had use of all 4 resorts. We loved both the a la carte's and buffet. The staff were outgoing, friendly and helpful. The resort was clean and well maintained. The only drawback is the 1 hour and 20 minute drive from the airport. Overall, I would recommend this to anybody who enjoys being pampered and enjoy luxury service at a reasonable price

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Exceptional Resort !!!

Highly recommend the Azul Five By Karrisma. I have been to the Mayan 7 times. This resort by far was the best resort by far. Gourmet food, exceptional service and miles of beach. I will return !!!!!!!!!!

Las Palmas by the Sea: Older Authetic MExican Resort.

The grounds were kept very clean, rooms were adequate could use some tender loving care,always clean linens and scrubbed. The service was great, the waiters at the buffet restaurant were on the run most of the time. We loved the outdoors mainly the buffet and pool. Security made sure the children stayed at the kiddies pool, and the adults only in the adult pool. It was a bit noisy when the spring break crowd hit, the last 2 days of our vacation, but I guess that's understandable.(We all were kid [... read more]s at one time too). Their was on going maintenance on the palapas & all around the resort. Would stay their again, had a wonderful friendly staff and most accommodating.!!!

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Fun in the Sun

The 4 things I didn't like first ; 1.The beds were hard and the Pillows tall. 2.The Coffe didn't have any bite must be made for Americans ? 3.The Eggs ,Bacon,Sausage tasted like they were cooked in the same Oil normally I am a big fan of Greasy fried Food 4.Further down from the Beach the huge quanatys of Plastic washed up on the shore was a little desturbing . The things I liked ; The Food was excellent The Rooms were Clean and well maintained . The Staff was pleasant and helpfull. The Excursi [... read more]ons went great.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Amazing!

We recently visited this beautiful resort! We travel a lot, and stayed at many resorts before, but this was perfect!! The staff really cared about you, and really treated you like a queen and king! The rooms are very clean and zen like, they really pay attention to detail, as the entire resort is very zen and beautiful! We definitely will return! Every room faces the ocean, and you are about 18 ft from the ocean! The food was excellent! Every restaurant had great food and great presentation, thi [... read more]s small quaint intimate resort had a lot to offer for fun and relaxation. A perfect getaway! We definitely will return! The two erik's were very pleasant and smiling all the time, the staff always went above and beyond to make your stay so wonderful!

Secrets Huatulco: Beautiful Resort

So many beautiful views of the ocean and scenery from different vantage points in the resort. Food was good but got tired of the same thing after a few days. Staff are absolutely fantastic! Great sliding walls in rooms to extend your living space.

Sunscape Dorado Pacifico: Great resort.

The resort is beautiful. The food is totally acceptable at the buffet. The afternoon restaurant by the pool not bad. The evening restaurants not so much. Pool was great. There were six of us together so we did have to get up about six to get six chairs together. The surrounding area was very safe. Ate at Frank's. Great atmosphere. Food not so much considering you are paying Canadian Pub prices. Was told on our last day there that there is a resort down the beach that has crocodiles or alligators [... read more] that they feed everyday at 3:00 and you can go watch. Didn't get to go watch but you should ask so you don't miss it if it is true. Everything is very close. Staff is great even though we did not see very much tipping going on. Shout out to - front desk staff including Odibel and Alima; Entertainment - Jesus, Alex and Imer; Bell Boy - Felipe; UVC - Cesar and Mario. Stayed in room 1402. Awesome room with a great view thanks to another great staff member Raul Vazquez. Repeat customers are very common at this resort. Con and probably a deal breaker for me - to ruff to go in the ocean. Black flagged everyday but one and it was red. After talking to people that go there a lot this is very common. I love my ocean time.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: very very good... not great

This is a spotless, well maintained resort that situated very conveniently, transfers are easy as is check in. There is some room for improvement on the food ,it was good, but not great. Customer service is fantastic across the board. It would also be nice is there was a little more "action" around the pool area in the afternoon.

Catalonia Yucatan: Small Resort With A Big Heart

Resort staff is amazing there can say enough about everyone there they went above to help and make my stay there unforgettable. The resort is a smaller one but from the food to the grounds everything is amazing , there are three pools one is a little quieter then the other we had a room overlooking the pool and the ocean second floor 3122 I believe. The beach is small so if you are a beach lover and like to walk this is not for you, there are plenty of beach chairs we never had a problem finding [... read more] one but yes people do leave there towels on them to reserve them. There is a lounge in the one side that has live music and dancing there they are busy so get there early...and they do put on shows every night , there is a board that is by the Brisbane buffet and they post all the events for the resort there. Always something going on or if you just want to relax that works to. you can leave the resort and walk down to the Marina where there are shops and dolphins and sea lions great place to run early in the morning.They do list the travel form the airport to the resort as one hour but with all the drop offs it is more like two just so you know, but worth the drive time...Go Enjoy....

Moon Palace Cancun: Big, Clean, resort

Me and my husband loved Moon Palace.We stayed at Nizuc lobby, which we though was the best out of the three. It is medium sized, not too crowed, and can easily access the other two lobbies. Sunrise was good because it had more restaurants. What we didn't like *The only thing I didn't like was the murky ocean water, where I would have liked to swim in, but we were aware of this from the many reviews we read. *Romantic Dinner was mediocre *expansive. *The 90 min presentation. They were forceful a [... read more]nd rude. Restaurant recommendations - Brazilian Steakhouse - is so awesome. We went twice - The golf course Italian restaurant - was good, but the waiter was understaffed and service was not good. Had to wait a lot. You have to make reservation in advance - The steakhouse by Sunrise poolside at night was good. - The Mexican place at Nizuc for dinner. We enjoyed Mexican good - The taco bar at grande poolside is small, but there "octopus taco" is so amazing.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Great time, so much to see

Was a great resort, very clean, well maintained. Food was very good, variety was great. Staff was very helpful when needed. If you have the time, you have to make sure to go to the Xcaret park next door. Its a must see, so many animals and things to see for all ages.

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: Great clean resort with a semi good time

This is my family's second year at El Cid, the third year for the friends we were with.. All was awesome last year, but this year started out less then great.. I had booked two rooms(connecting) for my two teenage daughters and us(confirmed before arrival)!! When we got there it was not at all what we had booked, the rooms they had for us were not even in the same building!!! I ended up having to cancel one room and stay all together in one!! Then there was the "no beer" for three days and on th [... read more]e third day "no more Vodka/cranberry"!!! The pools are great.. Not so much for the beach. Other then that it has great service... And if you have the honour of having Julio Ceaser as your butler it will make all the difference in the world... Awesome guy...

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Beautiful resort for a destination wedding!

This hotel met all of our expectations and more for our destination wedding with 56guests. The grounds are immaculate, the resort staff are friendly and go out of the way to make sure your needs are met and the food is unbelievable! I would highly recommend this resort for families, couples, large groups and especially weddings. We had our wedding on the sky deck, although an extra cost, but a live video feed was available for family and friends who were unable to attend. This trip blew us away  [... read more]and we would return to this resort in the future!

Crown Paradise Club: Not Impressed

For an older resort, it was kept very clean. The serving staff were awesome, friendly and accommodating, however the information staff were often rude, and it was impossible to get reservations for the sit down restaurants.

Hotel Emporio Ixtapa: Mixed feelings

Overall, we did enjoy our stay. The hotel is dated but the staff are very nice. We were there 10 years ago and some things have changed and not for the better. i.e. there used to be ice machines on every second floor but now these were removed and the only way you can get ice is at the pool bar and that is not always open and is a trek down ...you can get it from the room service but usually have to wait for an hour. frustrating. the food in the hotel is good. the beach is ok. very well located. [... read more] no more than a 3 star. hard to get a chair around the pool as people put their towels down the night before....

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Family Friendly All-Inclusive

Excellent resort. Great food (including buffet) good variety of restaurants. Lots of pools, grounds are clean and well-maintained. Great Waterpark for kids, friendly staff. Soft white sandy beach, lots of loungers. Diamond Club/Butler Service worth the upgrade. Rooms are good size, well appointed with lots of amenities. Also, a very well thought out property layout, especially for such a large property (over 1000 rooms) - very walkable, everything within a short walk. It never felt overly crowde [... read more]d, despite being close to full when we were there (Mar 4-11).

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Amazing vacation!

This resort was awesome! The food, drinks, staff/service was fabulous. The beach and pool were both enjoyed equally, lots going on so if you didn't want to leave the resort you didn't have to. I would go back in a heartbeat, possibly even take my kids. I did find the beds and pillows a little too firm and mosquitos kept getting in under the door, but other than that the rooms were very clean and had a nice view.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Amazing vacation !

The food was excellent with a lot of variety. There was a different theme every day of the week. The grounds are very well maintained and very easy to walk through from rooms to pools and beach area. Very modern looking with a lot of tall palm trees. We enjoyed the nightly entertainment with very talented singers and dancers with there beautiful costumes. The pools were huge with swim up bars. The daily activities were a lot of fun and staff were very professional and friendly. We had great serv [... read more]ice at the buffet, pool area and bars. We had an excellent vacation and will likely go back!

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Great family resort!

My husband and I visited Dreams Puerto Aventuras the first week of March, and really enjoyed the location in the Mayan Riviera, the small size of the resort and especially our dolphinview room with private balcony so that we could watch the dolphins in the dolphinarium any time. Quite entertaining! Rooms are large and very quiet, although there were children next door; the beds are comfy too. The staff is excellent and they're always asking if there's anything you need. Service in the restaurant [... read more]s and at the beach is great. We enjoyed the main buffet, which is inside, and we ate at the restaurants each evening, and we liked that there were no reservations and we never had to wait. Food was very good and we never had a bad meal. The internet cafe always had lovely treats and coffees. We always felt very safe and they take your room number to keep track of you if you're leaving the resort. The beach is very clean but small, and water shoes are recommended because this is a coral reef. We saw many divers going to the marina. Great concierge service at all times. Just half an hour by taxi to see the ruins at Tulum. Never had such friendly service at a resort.
