Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Great resort for the price

This hotel was clean and the grounds were beautiful and well kept. Staff was very friendly and did a great job. Good was better then other resorts if stayed at but there still were days where it was just eatable and I'm far from being a picky eater. Rooms were clean everything worked. This is I consider a 3.5 star resort which I prefer because it's smaller which allows you to get to know other guests and staff , and more comfortable vacation then I giant 5 star with 1000 rooms where everything i [... read more]s to perfect looking. Those types of places are nice too but more people, more stuck up attitudes, picky, and not as relaxing. Overall we all had a great time and would return

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Can't wait to return.

Loved everything about this resort. Of course, the beach is a non-starter with this season full of seawood but that's Mother Nature. But I'm a pool person and this resort has the best pools ever; huge and numerous. Wonderful food, outstanding service from all staff who seem to be very happy working there which is, of course, a good barometer of the site. Plus, many Mexican tourists were there during our stay in May and they would know what to choose among the hundreds of Riviera Maya resorts. No [... read more] reservation required for the included restaurants which is a huge plus. Very international group of guests which I also appreciated. A small resort compared to the two sister properties: Sunset and Riviera, to which one has access but not vice-versa which keeps Yucatan facilities so accessible. We're 60+ guests and chose a swim-out suite in the quiet area: Building 2 (odd numbered rooms) and Building 1 do not look out on the main 'party' pool. For those who want the party aspect of a resort, Building 3 is the closest to the main pool and Building 4 and Building 2 (even-numbered rooms) look out onto the main pool area. Building 5, a small upgrade in cost, is also quiet from what I could see and is closer to the restaurants/beach but the resort isn't huge so really makes no difference. Will definitely return as often as I can!

Grand Sunset Princess: Guaranteed to be lovely

This is the second time I've been to this resort. The staff is always very friendly, the grounds are amazingly well kept. The food is very good. The big buffets have a great selection for even the pickiest of eaters. I love that the resort has so many pools to choose from. There was always a possibility of getting a spot by the pool, or the beach for that matter, and I'm pretty sure the resort was full the week I went. I love how they have servers around the pool to bring you drinks, so that you [... read more] don't have to wait at the bar. It is a very large resort but I didn't mind walking when needed. Plus they have a hand tram that you can take if need be.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Awesome Family Trip

I did not pick this resort as it was picked for a wedding our son was in ..our whole family decided to go...we were in awe of the resort ..lovely resort ..great rooms ..fabulous food ..we will come again.

Barcelo Huatulco: Authentic Mexican resort

Room clean & I believe newly updated. Food was good, plenty of variety. Al carte also were good. Grounds were clean. The pool was not up to our standard. The 'adult only', we went swimming in only once. The beach has coarse golden sand. The red flag was up every day we were there. Dangerous surf with undertow for both adults & especially children. We did have fun on the beach & in the water. I did like that every thing was so close. It is a favourite resort for the Mexican people, so it became v [... read more]ery busy & noisy with families (lots of children). The music was played too loud at poolside. My friends & I will pick a adults only resort next time. I would like to mention that the Sunwing reps. we're very friendly & helpful.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Nice resort but with a few glitches

The hotel transfer was easy. Just go past all the people until you see the air transat signs; they'll have a list with your name and resort and show you where to wait. They sell beer and water on the bus cheaper than you can buy outside the terminal. We got a welcome drink when we arrived and didnt have to wait long to check in. The lobby doesnt have air conditioning though so it can get hot. They have a welcome dinner for new arrivals which was good and some entertainment It is easy to get arou [... read more]nd on foot to different areas of the hotel, but if you get tired, they have bus signs where you can get picked up and taken wherever. There is a shuttle for $6US OR 65Pesos (each way), that will take you to playa del carmen. The a la carte restaurants were phenominal. The oriental and french are a must and the steakhouse is always booked so keep checking back if you want to eat there. The bars are well stocked with a wide selection of hard liquors and you can get any drink imaginable.There were good acitivites put on by the staff during the day and lots of bars to get a drink. On saturday, they had vendors come to the hotel for a night market. We saw some things that werent available in playa del carmen. Now here are the glitches: bar times varied (beach bar only available to vip during the day); 24hr pizza only available if the buffets not open; dive centre on site somewhat unorganized and pricey; internet service not very good for size of the hotel and # of guests; buffets not overly good but decent. Overall, my boyfriend and i enjoyed our stay here, but we personally like to try different resorts so most likely wouldn't stay here again for that reason alone.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: wonderful

First it was a very good experience booking with Tripcentral.This was my second time staying at Grand Sirenis Riveria Maya, again a wonderful time. It is very clean, room are minimalist decor, the food is good always something to good to eat.The Japanese and Italian restaurant were fabulous. The children loved the lazy river and the ice cream parlor. The beach was a little disappointing as is was the season of lots of seaweed, they did tried very hard to clean but was coming in. faster than they [... read more] could keep it up.The only thing that was a BIG issue was to use the ATM , charged $7.85 plus 10% of the money you were taking out. Terrible. Take out cash at airport. Its is a large property, shuttles are available but you may need to wait and you may need to do alot of walking( which is ok). The evening show were very professional, better than the average resort.

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Beautiful resort!

The resort is spread out over many acres. The monkeys saunter around & swing through the trees! Very pristine surroundings & well kept. The beach is a good walk to get to and being on a coral reef, it is rocky. We will DEFINITELY return!

The Sens Cancun: Amazing resort!!!

Good food, good people. Rooms are a little outdated and internet is not included, but other than that the resort is very beautiful!! Staff are very friendly. Everything is close by!! and me and my family had an amazing experience. My kids loved it!!!

Riu Santa Fe: amazing resort!

Was very pleased with the grounds, well kept clean. Rooms were very nice and kept clean with an amazing view of the ocean. Many pools to choose from depending on your mood, nice and quiet family oriented, water sport fun, swim up relaxing and drinking, or loud music party pool with lots of drinking. Whatever your mood you can find what your looking for. Food was pretty good no complaints, I would definitely recommend and go back. Best trip ever!!!!!!

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Amazing!!!

We had an wonderful time at the Hyatt Ziva. We stayed there May 1st to 8th, but wish we could have stayed longer! The hotel and grounds are beautiful! All the rooms have a spectacular ocean view, they are very nice and comfortable. The food was great, loved the restaurant choices. All the staff was very friendly and caring, the front desk, the servers, cooks, hostesses, housekeepers, lifeguards, pool staff...everyone was so nice. Loved the beach and the pools. They had a special event every nigh [... read more]t we were there. One of the nights they had a mexican night right on the beach, with a beautiful buffet dinner and entertainment. I would highly recommed this hotel. It is located just 10 -15 minutes from the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, but it is so much nicer than staying right in town, and the beach is private :-) We'll definitely be back!

Riu Palace Mexico: Great well-kept resort

The hotel was great and while smaller than resorts I have visited, it was lovely. The hotel was very clean and our room was always maintained very well by housekeeping staff. The food in the buffet was always very good and most importantly, did not cause any upset stomachs for our family. We travelled with our 11-month old daughter therefore would suggest that families travelling with young children request rooms away from the entertainment stage as loud music will occur until 11 pm each evening [... read more]. The hotel has 4 pools and there was never a problem finding chairs in the shade and sun. The beach was nice however had a lot of waves. Overall, the trip was memorable for our family.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Most impressed

Everything was fantastic! We will return with our adult children and grand children. We wanted to relax. We did. We wanted comfort. We got it. We wanted great service. It happened. We walked the beach. We found the food to be excellent. Well done Grand Bahia!

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Great Resort and awesome staff

This hotel has gone trough a resent renovation and it certainly improved this resorts standing as a got to resort. This is a quiet resort and no the spot to party .The grounds ere kept well and we cannot say enough about the staff. They are the core of this resort from wait staff to grounds staff and management. Food is average and e would suggest perhaps theme night meals at the buffet as many like a little change with the normal buffet fare. The pool area was clean but many people said that th [... read more]ere should be lounge chairs around the pool as this is a foal point to any resort. As the beach is somewhat narrowed by the coral the swimming pool is a great option for cool down but needs the lounge chairs. Resort is close to the town of Akumal which makes for a nice walk. There are also restaurants on the beach which makes a nice change for meals if you get bored of the resort food. We like to travel to different resorts so I would be unlikely if we went back but only for that reason.

El Dorado Royale: Fantastic resort!

Staff, grounds were great! Food was outstanding. Wish the pools were more active...only the main pool had music...too many quiet pools.entertaient was great, service was outstanding, food was incredible.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Best Snorkeling Ever!

I have snorkeled in quite a few places but this area was by far the best I have ever experienced. Not only the graceful and majestic sea turtles, but Southern Sting Rays, Moray Eel, Giant Parrot Fish as well as lots of coral and other tropical fish. The water is very clear and shallow for quite a distance. It is a small resort and everything is very centralized. The restaurants are close to the pool and beach. Food was amazing and staff is plentiful and helpful. It is rare to have a good A La  [... read more]Carte meal in a resort in my experience, but the Brazilian Steak House and Japanese Fusion Restaurants were outstanding. No pre-booking required - just show up and if a table is available you will be seated. The resort activity crew is low key and no one bugs you to play volley ball or do some other silly game by the pool. The music is low key and easy listening. A short 10 minute walk up the beach and you can visit a little town with lovely craft and souvenir shops - great cafe too. Some people complained about the kelp/sea weed that washes up onto the beach each day but the staff work tirelessly to clean it up and it really is a lovely beach. I never go back to the same resort twice but I am counting the days until I can return to Akumal Bay Resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Just ok!

The beach was not good, they tried to keep it clean but so much seaweed it was impossible. Our room was fine but we never received the best service, our fridge was barely ever stocked nor could our maid speak any English. the food was just ok, I have been to Mexico before and the food was wonderful. the pools were great and fairly clean.

Posada Real Los Cabos: Great place to meet people!

We stayed at the Posada in April 2015 and had the BEST time... the staff were great, the rooms and view were wonderful and most of all we appreciated the small-scale style of the resort. It gave us the chance to meet lots of great people from the States and Canada - great new friends!

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Amazing Resort

Great resort, friendly staff and a great variety of food. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Pools and grounds were clean and well maintained but the beach has an issue with seaweed but nothing that the breathtaking view doesn't help you forget about. Rooms were very modern and well kept, prices in the hotel shops were reasonable.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Fun vacation

Very nice hotel, lots to see and do. Give it 3 stars as the buffet restaurants were not the cleanest. Lots of dishes and utensils had old food stuck to it. Night time shows and entertainment were very fun and well designed.
