Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: Amazing Resort

Had a Great Vacation at Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach, Loved the grounds, the beach had amazing snorkeling just a few feet away from the shore. We really loved the Coffee shop, Health Bar (Delicious Smoothies) and the Ice Cream Bar. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely plan another vacation with The Grand Sirenis.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Great vacation!

The hotel, despite being a little older was very well maintained. Staff were always visible sweeping, cleaning, mopping etc. The service and staff were awesome. The food was good as well. The pools were nice. Not the place to go if you like beach and ocean swimming. The undertow is strong and dangerous. Overall an awesome trip!

Samba Vallarta: Don't stay here

I'm sorry to that this is a terrible place to stay. The room we were given was so moldy that I couldn't stop coughing. The day manager was contacted by Transat moved us to another room. Again terrible! Despite being the presidential suite it too was moldy and the air conditioning didn't work. By this time the manager had left and the poor clerk at the desk could only offer us the room we had just left. Rather than move again I spent most of the night on a chair on balcony while my son and daught [... read more]er toughed it out inside. Transat rep arrived at 9am and we were packed and ready to leave. Transat found us another hotel and a $40 cab ride and we had magic. Albeit we paid more but we didn’t have a choice we had to move.

Finest Playa Mujeres by Excellence Group: Ideal for kids or adults only

Truly beautiful and clean! Kids area and adults only areas for all ages. During the slow season, the restaurants do not take reservations so some nights the wait is long, especially when kids need to sleep. The dress code and footwear for the dinner buffet is a bit strict. When rules are made, the hotel should stay consistent and stick to them

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Best beach, Yoga and Staff

My husband and I had been to this resort 5 times before the renovation. The last time being 5 yrs. ago. It is now very beautiful- the main lobby is all open with a very understated elegance- simple furnishings with lovely accessories. The restaurants are all tastefully decorated. The rooms are housed in 4 buildings with a pool in front of each. The rooms are extremely large but simple furniture. Beds and pillows so comfortable. No dressers, shelves in cupboard only. Huge walk in shower. No priva [... read more]cy in bathroom and shower area. T.V., coffee maker and WIFI in room. Good sized patio which we had- a hot tub and 2 chairs. We were in bldg. one which we found very quiet and close to the beach. We loved the food at the buffet. Did not eat in restaurants or snack bar. Nice sushi bar overlooking the ocean. Great open main bar where they had their evening entertainment. No theatre shows. The Yoga studio was close to building 4. Loved that the building was all wood, very open, the studio room was facing the ocean. The instructors were amazing. I attended a introductory hatha yoga class which was excellent. They had all the props available for use. I did not like that when we arrived and thought we were going to be brought to our room by the porter it turned out it was staff that was trying to sell us on buying into their Fidelity Club which we were not interested in. We loved all the staff that work so hard with always a smile- the maids, gardeners, bartenders(Wilbur is the best), waiters(Marcelino is the best) and the many more that I don't remember their names. Lastly, the beautiful beach, the wonderful snorkelling, the turtle sanctuary at one end of the beach and the short walk in to the village of Akumal. Worried with the huge Secrets Resort next door and the endless groups of snorkellers swimming with the turtles the area will be ruined in years to come.

Riu Santa Fe: Great Resort

My wife and I traveled to this resort to celebrate our anniversary. The grounds are immaculately cleaned and the resort was well planned out. The room, food and drinks were all excellent. We are not smokers and although there is no smoking in most eating areas it is still a nuisance in other areas. Although they said that you were only allowed 90 minutes of internet in the lobby per day we found that you could use the internet all day everywhere and even on our balcony (but not in our room). Int [... read more]ernet strength was weak for streaming and some sites seemed blocked (Instagram). Entertainment was OK and repeated if you stayed for 2 weeks which we did. Canadian hotels can learn a lot from their very streamlined check in and checkout. Local buses can take you almost anywhere within a short walking distance. We had a great time.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: Amazing Resort - Must Go

The hotel was perfect. It was just what we needed to to get away and relax. The lazy river was awesome. The food was delicious and the drinks were right on point. We had a swim-out room and I would definitely recommend upgrading to that room. We didn't upgrade to the Excellence Club level and we didn't feel left out. The nightly entertainment was great. Loved the fire show.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: It was fabulous!

The hotel was amazing! The service and the professionalism of the employees was the best I have ever seen. They don't even expect a tip when they serve you. I would highly recommend this hotel for any one! The only negative opinion people could have is about the beach. People need to understand that it is a conservation area for sea turtles so I did not mind. The location is not near anything so that could be a con for people but it is really close to the airport. If you plan on not leaving the  [... read more]resort it is perfect! The food at the resort is amazing as well, even if you do not want to wait for a restaurant, the buffet has all you need.

El Cid Granada: PEACEFUL , QUIET AND RELAXING

THE HOTEL WAS CLEAN AND THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY. THE POOL AREA REALLY RELAXING... WAS ALTHO I WAS QUITE STUNNED THE HOTEL WAS CHARGING FOR WIFI AT A VERY HIGH RATE. MAY BE A POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER ON MY NEXT VISIT ...

Riu Palace Pacifico: RIU Palace in Puerto Vallarta

Great resort and great value for the money. Love the area, have been to Puerto Vallarta several times. Service, staff and food was outstanding. RIU buffets are second to none. Room was nice and clean with great amenities. The grounds are very nice and well cared for. One area of improvement would be to add washrooms down by the beach and pool bar area. It's a bit of a trek to walk up from the beach to the resort to use the washroom.

Riu Santa Fe: Great ocean view from infinity pool

The pools and grounds were very well kept. The infinity pool and ocean view were awesome! The view of the Land's End rock formation in the ocean is great to see. Was there during a tropical storm after Hurricane Sandra, and everything was dealt with very well. Amazing to see 20-30 ft of beach washed away! Lifeguards kept us out of the ocean when it was dangerous, which was great. Food was okay, most of the buffet food is pretty greasy, as usual. Restaurants were promised to be "unlimited" but wh [... read more]en we arrived we could only book for our last two days. After a few days, we were able to get a reservation for two additional days, but two of the restaurants were very disappointing anyway - same food as the buffet almost. The Italian restaurant was the best. Had to ask for the air conditioner and safe in our room to be fixed upon arrival, but they were fixed promptly. Fairly easy to find seating at the pools, even mid-day.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Awesome Resort

The resort was very well maintained and clean. Food was great and plentiful. Hotel staff very pleasant people and helpful with everything we needed. There were plenty of activities to do there daily and entertainment everyday day and night. Weather was awesome, I will go again for sure. Thank you trip central for suggesting this resort.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Amazing Resort

Only bad thing about this resort wich is not their fault was the beach. Impecable service, beautiful grounds, room were very clean and the food was absolutly the best we ever had at any all inclusive resorts and we've been to manny. The animation was very good.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: OK Resort

The beach is not nice at all, looked like beach here. The rooms are out dated, there was mildew on our bathroom. The food was excellent, staff were really nice. Glad I did not pay full price. There is no swim up bar in pool, but has bars close to pool.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great Stay!

Had a nice time at the resort. Overall it was very clean and quite beautiful. We stayed at the Maya Colonial which we found out once we got there was the last resort to be renovated (there are 4 sister resorts). Once we walked around the grounds and saw the other resorts we realized that we could've stayed at a much nicer resort. The Maya Colonial is one of the more expensive places to stay but paled in comparison to the other beautiful, newly updated resorts next door. Wish we would have known  [... read more]that. The rooms on the ground floor flooded. Thankfully we were on the second floor but kept hearing stories from other guests we travelled with of flooded rooms. A La Carte restaurants were nice. I would definitely go back, just wouldn't stay at the Colonial.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Ok resort, not what I expected

Very small, fight for a chair at the pool. Maintenance of the rooms could use some looking into. Not the level you would expect from a Hilton. A la carte restaurants were a redeeming feature, thankfully you could go to one every night. Supper was the worst meal at the buffet which was very small and average at best.

Royal Solaris Cancun: wonderful holiday

the resort was very nice, staff very friendly, food was good. Only downside was very few English tv stations, and evening entertainment was repeated weekly, so if you were there more than 1 week you had seen the evening show.

Grand Riviera Princess: Great staff

Great Facility amazing staff. Food was awful for the most part. 2 out of 5 ala carts were good the other three were horrible. Sold wifi for 68 US dollars a week and it barely worked any where if at all in the resort. When I complained they shrugged there shoulders.

Riu Palace Mexico: Unforgettable, amazing, perfect for couples!

Riu Palace Mexico was an amazing experience. Not only we had convenient access to all amenities in our resort, we had the benefit of accessing ALL other Riu resorts within our proximity (there were at least 3 others from receiving our gold band). At the same time, none of the other resorts were able to access ours, which meant that all the facilities and services were strictly given to the Riu Palace Mexico visitors. No line up, no crowd, there was always space on the beach no matter what time,  [... read more]and the amazing staff are only attentive to YOU. We are now definitely looking into staying at other Riu Palace in other resorts & countries for vacation. Not worthy to stay in other resorts. The location was amazing too. Just walking along the shore, Riu Palace Mexico had the least seaweed (evident enough since the crew cleans it everyday) in comparison to the other Rius. It was also a 20 minute walk from Playa Del Carmen or a 4 minute drive. Across the street, there are nice little boutique stands & shops that provide cheap Mexican authentic artifacts. The food was great! Not once we complained about the food (and we are very picky eater). We love our food fresh and you can tell the ingredients they use are definitely fresh. The spices and such were amazing and right on (didn't need to put salt or anything on them to add flavour). The cleanliness of the resort including the rooms were beyond average. Never complained about a single bug and etc. The crew constantly cleaned the whole resort every second, every minute. The staff's service was amazing. They were sooooo attentive to each person. I've seen people not leave any tip for the crew, yet the crew still treat them like they've just received an amazing tip. Everyone smiles, and everyone remembers you. For their hard work, it's hard not to leave them any tip. We had servers that see us and automatically puts us on a beachfront view at the restaurant, and then brings us our beer and juices that we normally order. They are very, very attentive. The entertainment isnt the best at Riu Palace Mexico since it ends quite early (around 11). But they definitely make it up as they offer transportation and pick-ups after the resort entertainment to go to a club with the crew. Also, just right across the resort are the other resorts known for livelihood and crazier crowds (you cant just go there too and take advantage of their entertainment and drinks). This resort is really meant for some peace, quiet and relaxing nights. They do have entertainment going on ALL day, so it's perfect for the early birds.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: great vacation

The spacious rooms were perfect and always clean. The service was great and we eated very well. Unfortunatelly there was no beach and the water was gray. But there was enought place around the pools since the hotel wasn't full :) Thank's !
