Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: better each year!

this resort has it all, great food, great service and excellent entertainment. The new infinity pool area is like its own little resort, 7th visit and looking forward to our 8th! A short 20 minute ride from the airport puts this resort on the top of the list for us!!

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Great place to do as little or as much as you want

The grounds are clean, the food is good at the buffets and great at the a la cartes. Plenty of activities for all age groups as you explore the resort. The Adult Select Club is quiet and the Select beach club is a welcome place to relax.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Good resort

The hotel was nice, service was good. The night shows were very good. We enjoyed our stay but we will not go back. The hotel staff were speaking Spanish mainly and very little English. I recommend this resort if you have kids

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Good resort for the price

This resort was more then what I expected. The one downfall was the mildew smell was very strong in the room to the point my eyes were puffy and my nose would not stop running. Also not enough towels or face clothes were given but a quick call resolved the towel issue. The shows were entertaining, food was great and liked the Coba pools. The beach was just ok. Loved the Japanese resturant, it is a must book and sit at the chiefs table.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Relaxing vacation with exceptional service!

My husband and I just got back from an amazing vacation at this beautiful resort. From the time we got there until the time we left the staff went out of their way to make our vacation the best it could be. We had three full days of torrential rain and still had a great time. Our junior suite garden view was so comfortable and large. We were happy to hang out in there and order room service. During the rain we took the time to book our a la cartes and went to the spa for a couples massage! Highl [... read more]y recommend this!! This resort is not on the beach but we never waiting very long to take the little train to the beach. Sian Ka'an has our own roped off adults only beach section with bar service. It is the best part of the beach and they come around to your chairs with water spritzer and face clothes, pretzels and fruit cabobs. This resort has top notch service. The food was amazing and I would go back again today if I could.

Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa: Good time at Royalton

First of all this was my first time at a Royalton resort so my expectations were a little high. Two of the pools were under construction when I was there (including the main pool that is shown in the photos as a selling point). The hottub was repaired by the end of our trip. Just an FYI if there is still construction going on, it goes until about 8pm every night. The food was great and have no complaints. We ate at all restaurants except Agave. The steakhouse was my favourite. We had to switc [... read more]h rooms and loved our housekeeper from our second location Victor. He definitely takes the time to make things perfect. The beach does have a seaweed issue, not the resorts fault but just something to keep in mind. Also, we had paid to go kayaking (3.00 US each), and then ended up not getting to go out due to garbage and they refused to refund us. We didn't end up being able to go out on the water at all. We had gone to Playa Del Carmen on Halloween ($50 there and $50 back). I found that you will get different information depending on who you ask, the city cabs can go passed the front gate, the front desk will tell you otherwise and say it is $15 USD to get from the road to the main lobby. Didn't happen for us. Anyways so we get back and the place was deserted it wasn't very happening for a Saturday night, not sure if it's a day everyone leaves or what. Overall we had a great time despite the construction. I don't know if I would go back there but I'm sure once it is all setup and running properly it would be amazing.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Romantic Mexican Vacation

Our stay at the Fiesta Americana was wonderful! We enjoyed all the wonderful Mexican food and the fantastic service and beach. Miguel served us a delicious lobster feast on the beach at the end of our week long stay ...we recommend this to any couple! We recommend the Fiesta to anyone as the authentic Mexican food and friendly service is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the larger more western style resorts. The rooms were spotless and beach well groomed and easy access to the ocean fo [... read more]r quick swim after sunbathing. Location is also excellent with the short drive to the Malacon and the airport. We are planning our next trip to Puerto Vallarta and the Fiesta Americana already! M&M Calgary

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Daughters first time away

The resort was great. Well maintained, friendly staff and easy to get around. My daughter loved the animals that we're around and the dogs. It was fun seeing my daughter seeing and going into the ocean for the first time. The only thing I would suggest is that you have all the money you need with you for the whole trip and not to depend on the bank machines. They do not recgonize Canadian bank cards. We enjoyed our vacation and would return to try out the new water park!!

Sandos Cancun: Good Resort! Great beach.

We stayed in the Select Club Adults Only section, rooms were big, plenty of towels, room service was quick. Pool was great, hot pool wasn't working and needed cleaning. Beach was great, service was slow due to only one staff member doing whole area. Food was good, Brazilian, Asian and French a la cartes were good but Steakhouse was horrible. Creperie, Cupcake Bar and Burrito Bar were great in every way!!!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Amazing resort

It was a second time there! We visited the same time last year and decided to return because of our great first experience! The beach is not what I prefer but the swim out suites make up for it. The vast selection of great food always gives you options on what and where to eat. The gym is also very important to me and appreciated the high quality of the equipment

Riu Vallarta: Awesome resort environment

I enjoyed every thing about the resort. They out on a show every night and disco on site at the resort. The pool area was split in two sides where the kids pool on the right and adult pool with swim up bar to the left. The only thing lacking about the hotel in my opinion was there was no room service for food and the wifi was very bad in the rooms only worked in the lobby.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: A Great Place to Soak up the Sun

As mentioned in most other reviews, this resort is exceptionally well maintained and the staff, in our experience, were the best of any of the all-inclusive hotels we have stayed with over the years. Every person we encountered was friendly, helpful, and committed to making our stay enjoyable. Even the beach vendors were friendly and considerate of our wish to be left alone. The food was good at the buffet as well as the themed restaurants, with the Mexican and Gourmet being our favourites. The  [... read more]beach is clean and sandy and very safe for swimming and body surfing. The pool areas were clean and very pleasant although we did spend most of our time on the beach. Our only other experience with Iberostar was a comparable property at the Iberostar Paraiso Maya on the Mayan Riviera. It, too, is an excellent resort. The Playa Mita is a smaller, newer property. We preferred the food at the Paraiso, overall, but the beach and staff at the Playa Mita were exceptional.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Return visit disapointing

This is our second time at this Bahia, our 6th stay at a Bahia property, first time was in March 2010 and we stayed on the Akumal section before it was changed to Luxury Akumal. Overall everything was fine, the food great and most of the staff were incredible. Had some issues with repairs that were needed in our room, took forever to get them fixed. The rooms really need some updating and a good through cleaning. Loved all the critters running around. The seagrass problem was still ongoing. On o [... read more]ur last day they finally came to pick up the giant piles that had accumulated, it was very stinky but I understand the workers were doing the best we could. Would we return? not likely.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Loved it !

Little more money but everything is a level up from anything we have been to so far. Can't think of one thing to complain about. We'll be back again for sure. Best thing was the service staff and rooms with the amazing views.

Riu Vallarta: Decent place. 3 stars not 4.

We were promised free WIFI when we booked but they end up providing some very poor WIFI that barely connects and they tell you that you need to pay an additional ~$100 for a weeks WIFI. We never ended up getting it. There is no real after-hours food other than some old hamburgers and nachos sitting outside in the 24 hour sports bar all night. No room service. Other than that the food was decent and the cleaning crew was very nice. Some of the other staff running the activities were friendly but  [... read more]many were incompetent or did not speak any English. One of the ladies running the daily Ping Pong tournament had no idea what she was doing. The nightlife promotors were decent but you can probably get a much better deal going on your own. Not many servers during the day - you have to get your own drinks most of the time.

Grand Palladium Select White Sand: Amazing-Definately will be back!

Grand Palladium is well maintained and a gorgeous place to stay. With the four resorts all together it makes it a great experience being able to do things at all four of them, from the shows, listening to the amazing band Conclasse Band or just asking to watch a football game in the sports bar and having Francisco know your drink orders and have them ready for you before your drink is empty. We had an amazing experience at the spa, our massages were to die for, and if we could have gone for anot [... read more]her one we would have the cost was very reasonable. The spa area has great whirlpools, and was very relaxing. The pool area wasn't busy probably because of the four resorts and the beach that people have access to go to, made it great to just go down to the pool and be able to grab any chair. Our waiter that would run with trays of drinks was entertaining and made our relaxing by the pool just that relaxing, he would bring whatever we wanted including some special shots. The atmosphere around the entire resort was amazing, the people are friendly, the staff exceptional, the food at the buffet and a la carte restaurants, were exceptional. The variety of food, and the multiple options of a la carte restaurants to go to, our favorites are too many to list. We did alot of walking between resorts because that was our choice, had to work off that food, but the option to hop onto the train or have the staff stop in their white carts to ask us where we were going, and take us to the resort we were heading to was wonderful. There is so much to say about this resort, and I'm running out of characters to do so. Thanks for our stay and we will be back!

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Great vacation

We recently stayed at the now amber resort and what impressed me the most was the amazing service everywhere you go. The staff go out of there way to accommodate you. The property itself is beautiful and very clean and well manicured. I would recommend this property to a friend with out a doubt! The beach was rocky but there are lots of pools to pick from, the only negative aspect to the resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: most amazing resort

As always our stay at bahia principle cobalt was awesome. We have been there now 10 times we. It is the only one we stay at. It is so beautiful and clean. The staff is amazing very friendly they can't seem to do enough for you. Only one thing that I can complain about and it has nothing to do with the resort or the staff. It is very damp there so you get a little damp smell in the rooms but we bring car fresheners with us and clip on the air conditioner and that helps a lot and keeping the fan g [... read more]oing all day and nite helps. There is always intertainment and places to shop even some on the resort. There is alot of excursions you can go one it is never boring and of course just relaxing around the pool and swimming. They also have activity pool where thete is all kinds of stuff going on. The food is so good they have a big variety. To us it feels like home away from home we got to know quit a few of the staff now. I would recommend this resort to anyone. We can' t wait to return again in April.

Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun: will be returning again and again .....

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time at the Hideaway at The Royalton. The staff all went above and beyond their call of duty. Our butler's Dominguez and Aldo were friendly, And helpful in every way. I did hit fall and cut my head open and the lifeguards "first aid" and staff had me back to the fun in no time. The food was great!! Make sure you get your butler to make you a reservation for the cooking show at ZEN.. IT'S A MUST!!!!

The room was decorated, the bsth filled and ready. . my husband and I were overwhelmed at their attention :)

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: AMAZING RESORT!!

Was nervous about going to Mexico for the first time with my family, but I was blown away by how much we loved it! Coba was amazing. They treated us like gold. Food was amazing, so was the staff, the rooms and the pools
