Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Relaxing Stay!

Our stay at the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum was terrific! The food was overall some of the best I have experienced on a resort and there was always entertainment available. By having a room in a more private area of the resort we were able to enjoy our peace and quiet, but also go and join into the fun of the larger common areas. The only negative was the distance away from the airport, but the drive was worth the wait.

Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya: Beautiful landscaping

This adult only resort is peaceful and beautifully landscaped. The developers have chosen to retain some of original jungle greeney which has been enhanced with colorful flora. The pools are pristine and well maintained on a daily basis. You can easily walk in the white sand for quite a distance. Barbara teaches yoga and pilates and yoga each morning except Sunday. She is an excellent teacher who provides great instruction and who ensures that her students listen to their bodies and modify pose [... read more]s as needed. The food is excellent. The buffet is available for breakfast and lunch, but not at supper. This was a bit of a challenge for my husband. We found that Mar et Tierra and Il Olivio had food choices which met his needs at suppertime. The staff at the Italian restaurant was extremely accomodating and modified dishes to meet my husband's needs. I must forewarn you, however, that every time you get up from the table during your meal, the waiters will refold your napkin! The service everywhere was great and the people were friendly. The rooms were well appointed and met all our needs. I would note that the Deluxe Junior Suite was a much smaller room than those we had elsewhere in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba. It was well arranged to maximize the use of space. Given that we spent most of time on the beach or at the nightly entertainment, the size of the room did not inconvenience us at all. I would highly recommend this resort and fully intend to return in the future!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: 6th Visit and we will be back

We love this hotel. The service is always excellent. The food is great. The grounds are always immaculate. This year was the first time in 6 years that there was an accumulation of seaweed on the beach. There was a grand effort to clean it up by a huge amount of workers and they did a fantastic job. It didn't bother us as we just walked over it and went in the water. Although some people may find the sandbags in the water unsightly, they are necessary to keep the beach from further erosion. If y [... read more]ou go past the sandbags, it is great fun jumping the waves! Closer to shore the water is very calm so you can just lay there and watch all the activities on the beach. Changing the Akumal resort to a luxery resort did not have any effect on our stay. There was always lots going on at Coba and Tulum at night. Another fabulous time at Bahia Principe. Can't wait to go back!!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing Resort

Everything that we expected and more! From the rooms to the Beach it was excellent! Food was tasty lots of variety at the buffet! The grounds were always being looked after, from glasses/cups to garbage colection, I was impressed how many people work at this Resort! The rooms where always cleaned and we never ran out of towels. I recomend this Resort hands down!

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Paradise!

I have high expectations of a five star and hope I get what I pay for. This resort gets a 10 on everything. It was paradise. Resort layout amazing, limited walking, everything nice and close without it feeling small. Golf great! Ocean front rooms, breathtaking, just steps away from a spectacular beach. The rooms were cleaned within a couple of hours of leaving it in the morning. Food, fabulous. I cannot say enough about every employee we encountered. They were engaging, informative, forward thi [... read more]nking and almost all spoke English. Most of the employees had a College certificate in Tourism, which is apparently a prerequisite to work there. The towel girl noticed that my mother had difficulty walking in the sand to the beach chairs. The next day the towels were waiting for us on the chairs closest to the walk way. Thanks Yuri! I got a cold towards the end of our vacation and the beach butler/bartender "Luis" made me a hot toddy with lemon and honey. I did not ask for it, he just handed it to me. They are really able to get to know you as it is a very intimate setting. I could go on and on but I think you get it. This place is the epitome of perfection. We will be returning next year.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Beautiful resort and location

The view of the beach was beautiful, but it was unpleasant walking on it because the sand was rough on the feet and very hot. The buffet was amazing but we were not impressed with an of the a-la-carte restaurants. We usually ended up going to the buffet after because we didn't like our food.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Magnificent......

The Fabulous well layed out resort. The best resort we have been to in the past 4 years The restaurant food was excellent as was the service by all staff maids, barmen, waiters & gardiners - they could *nt do enough for us--

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Very nice - outstanding value

Stayed at the Blue Bay Mar 21 to 31 2015. Third time there. It's certainly not a five star, but for the cost it stellar. Two most favourable things are the excellent staff who ALWAYS go the extra mile and the food. Really great! It's a big resort so lots of walking, but for us that's perfect after one of the great a la cart dinners. Lastly, the fitness facility is the best I've seen at a resort, and honestly, that's a huge benefit.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Excellent family vacation

Resort is very large and spread out. Trams run every 5 minutes taking you from your room to lobby area, shopping areas and Coba resort. Not one complaint from our group of 16 about the food or drinks. At at 3 a la carte restaurants (our favorite was La Gran Tortuga- best beef I've ever eaten in the Caribbean). Mini fridge filled every day with beer, water and pop. No problem getting loungers under the Palapas at 8 or 9 a.m. at the Coba beach area. A little disappointed in the coral and stones in [... read more] the water and the amount of seaweed at the beach, but the staff worked continuously all day raking it away.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Bahia Principe Tulum

What a great resort this is. Very large, clean and friendly. Not much to complain about other than the beach is not the greatest, lots of coral. The pools are clean and always lots of entertainment every day. Entertainment staff work very hard to keep everyone entertained. Shows at night were OK, same at most resorts. Food was EXCELLENT. The rooms were clean and always cleaned in a timely fashion. Grounds were beautiful. The ride from the airport was between 2 2-1/2 hrs but went quickly. Would d [... read more]efinitely go back here again. You can never go wrong choosing a Bahia Principe property down south. We have been 4 times and were never disappointed at any of them. If you look on the map and choose a specific area where you would like to have your room, never hurts to send off a nice email a week or two before your departure date. I have always done this and almost always end up with an ocean view(If available) and often get a few extras in the room like champagne and fruit baskets. They really aim to please at these properties. We had a few little hiccups during the week we were here like the toilet running and the safe not working properly but with a call to the service desk they were quickly fixed. It is a very large resort and you have to expect that things will break but it certainly is not going to ruin your vacation.

Riu Emerald Bay: Nothing negative about this resort

This resort was amazing in every aspect. We travelled with our daughter and son-in-law and it more than met our expectations. The rooms are beautiful with a panoramic view from every room. The staff are the most beautiful, accommodating people we have ever met on a holiday. The food is delicious and the drinks are made with premium brand liquor (at least in the lobby bar which is where we went every evening.) There is never a shortage of beach or pool chairs and we were there when the hotel was  [... read more]at capacity. Give it a try.....you won't be disappointed.

Excellence Playa Mujeres: Top quality resort

From the accommodation to the food and services, my husband and I really enjoyed our holiday at the excellence at playa mujeras. We took part in many activities and I personally would like to recommend Joe the Aqua fit instructor. I attended the classes everyday. We had a swim up suite far away from the open theatre which we really liked. We enjoy a good walk back and forth to the restaurants and did not care to be close to the action. Our room was quite and close to the spa. We enjoyed morning  [... read more]room service. I am not a fan of large buffets. Every meal we had was excellent and the portions were perfect. Not too small and not too big. There were always lots of lounge chairs and entry of towels by the pools and beach. The service on the ground was constant. We never had to look to far to order a drink. My husband and I do not drink yah much and we would order sparking water with lime. One of our favourite.

Hyatt Zilara Cancun: Average

Nice and clean with a very nice layout Service was good and the restaurants were ok The shows were average and the food was also average the entertainment was very average and doing it in the lobby you loose the. Sound and can't appreciate the show much

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Budget resort ....

Food was good, lots choices, resort too big and spread out, have to take the little train everywhere, overall it def needs renovations and upgrades , not comparable to other 5 star resorts, our first room the bed smelled like urine and the bathroom like mold , we had to switch rooms, major party crowd and very loud , not relaxing at all, staff was nice and helpfull though!

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: beautiful resort

The people were fantastic, food was good, loved the taco/pizza place. Kept very clean. Only complaint would be had to ask all the time for water and beer to be added to our fridge. They only put two in a day but when asked had no problem doing it for you. Wild life was cool.

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Amazing & Relaxing Resort!

This resort is the perfect place if you want a relaxing vacation! Rooms were clean & comfortable, the resort is smaller than most in the area so you don't have to fight for a chair or space on the beach, the food was very good & the ala carte resteraunts didn't require reservations 2-3 days in advance like alot of resorts. The beach was wonderful - soft sand and GREAT snorkeling right at the resort.....saw alot of huge turtles, fish & stingrays. The only downside is that there was little to no n [... read more]ightlife/entertainment....but if you don't care about that, then choose this place because it was awesome!

Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach: beautiful, wonderful resort.

The resort was spotless. Grounds are well kept, my room was large and beautiful. Had everything I needed. Plus , as an added bonus there is concierge in your building all day to answer all of your questions, book your a la carte meals.

Excellence Riviera Cancun: Excellent resort

Nice rooms, very friendly staff.. We have travelled all over the Caribbean and been to 6 sandals.. Only resort we have been to twice.. Love the food, the lazy river pool and very quiet.. Love that adult only, great gym and comfortable beds

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Great Resort

We quite enjoyed the resort. The ocean water was really stirred up and was always dirty looking. You could go in it but not as nice as other places we have been but the beach and pools were great with lots of seating available. Food was really good also.

Platinum Yucatan Princess: Excellent resort

Excellent resort worth the trip met some great people . Rene at the pool bar great server restraints and buffet are all good only thing the resort is missing is a good place to swim in the gulf it's all to rocky in front of the resort but all the pools are great especially the swim up suites
