Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Very Nice Family Resort

We really enjoyed this resort. We had our two kids, aged 14 and 11, and they loved it, especially the snorkeling on the coral reefs right off the beach. Clear, warm waters, tropical fish by the hundreds and a sea turtle kept us amused for hours. Great beach, though not as sandy as Varadero, for example. The hotel grounds were immaculate and the staff were very friendly. Nice architecture, large rooms (junior suite). The lazy river was also a hit with the kids. The food wasn't great, but it was g [... read more]ood - a la carte restaurants weren't much better than the buffet. The only real detractions were iffy housekeeping (no toilet paper), and things got pretty loud and the language colorful around the pool bar by late afternoon - but you get that anywhere. Overall, very satisfied.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful Serene Resort

Great resort! Excellent food and wonderful service! The pool and snack bar area was where we spent most of our time when we weren't at the beach. Staff were top notch and the place was very clean. I would suggest a high floor so you can get a good view of the beautiful jungle surroundings.

The Fives Beach Hotel and Residences Playa Del Carmen: Top Notch

Everything about this resort was awesome. Grounds were amazingly manicured, pools were very nice (a little cold though), food was the best I have had at any resort that I have ever stayed. Lunch is best by the pool in the new area. Highly recommend this place.

Riu Santa Fe: Nice hotel, great location.

Typical RIU great staff and room, food ok. Do not exchange your money at the hotel - exchange absolutely terrible. Staff very helpful. The walking distance from building 7 to front entrance is not that far, not sure why so many complain about this

Azul Ixtapa Resort: Great place for kids

Lots and lots for little kids at this resort which was great as it was a trip for only grandma and 3 yr old grandaughter. we had a blast..would definately stay here again if travelling with children. Bufet food was so.so. but restaurants were great

Riu Lupita: Wild crows helped in ruining the resort experience

Living with limited mobility can be challenging at a resort. I can recall 3 good things. The location of the disability rooms (fridge stocking and bathroom was good) were situated close to the bar, pool, buffet, stage, snack bar was nice and close. The bar had fast and friendly service which was required because they had no servers. Lastly, the reception desk was welcoming very helpful and had a good command of english language but the rest of the resort showed a huge language barrier. The buffe [... read more]t was ok but limited choice and often dishes were not labelled correctly(they should try some mexican choices with instructions in buffet). The A LA CARTE was full of terrible flavours partly due to the fact of the lowest quality of ingredients used in the dishes(if you offer a ribeye steak on the menu, prepare and cook a ribeye steaks not a thin low qualty steak riddled with reams of fat throughout). The rooms beds were overly firm which caused backpain upon waking up. Wild crows landing on unoccupied tables and flying around the buffet chairs (not near the food) and boldly flying around and close to people sitting at covered patio close bar. Too hot and humid to prevent enjoyment of sunbathing. Service was inconsistent throughout resort. I will never go back.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Amazing resort

We spent the week of Feb 18th at the Riu Palace Los Cabo and was totally blown away. We usually travel south every year and this was our first visit to Los Cabo. The grounds at the riu were totally stunning. We had no view from our room which was very nice and clean , but the resort had the most breath taking view did not swim in the ocean, but just a water taxi away u were on lovers beach. Service was excellent. Food totally amazing . Never before did I have lobster tails, Alaskan king crab and [... read more] lamb chops in a buffet. Differently a must go back..If you called for service you got service.

Moon Palace Cancun: business yes vacation no

Good spot for business meetings, close to airport. But not so good for vacation. Beach is poor, entertainment is lacking, looks and feels like many big city hotels ... not like a vacation destination on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Grand Oasis Palm: Disappointment

too many people for the space..impersonnal..not enought elevator....very noisy at night in the corridor:-(beach was so so........service was good..we love the pool and the shows but needs to be outside iy would be better......the sushi bar was amazing.

Tesoro Los Cabos: niced place

Very nice hotel.. Some rooms are a very very long ways from the elevator and then climb narrow stairs to the room .....Nice view when you get there. Other rooms are closer to elevator but not as good a view and over the pool area could be noisey...We were a long ways from the pool ( did not use it) ... Also the hotel is a very very long walk to the beach ( should take a cab ) about 120 pesos.... one way.

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: Great Resort

The grounds at this resort are beautiful with lots of flowering trees and shrubs. Although requests as per room are not guaranteed, the hotel moved us to another room to accomodate us as per a view of the water. Family Suite was very comfortable and clean. Staff are very friendly. We did struggle with communiction. Many staff on resort do not speak or understand English. We went the first week of March and it was windy all week. Minimal use of water sports and water was rough. Lots of seaweed wa [... read more]shes up on beach all day long. Food was very good. Lots of choice of restaurants and menu selection.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Wonderful Winter Getaway!

Trip dates were January 17-24, 2015 Had a fabulous vacation at The Blue Bay Grand Esmerelda. I would definitely recommend the resort and classify it as a 4 star for sure. I read all the reviews before going and was more than pleasantly surprised to discover that from our perspective, none of the bad reviews were true. We had an amazing week in Mexico. How wrong can people be, or is it just going with a positive attitude? Travelled with my mother and brother. Our check in took about five minutes [... read more] with a very nice young gentleman, Carlos serving us. They will only give out one key on the first day, but the concierge at your building can make you a second/third key if required. We were driven to building 4 with our luggage; ocean front, which we had paid for, third floor Room 4323 with a wonderful view. We loved our location. We required a third bed which was delivered at once. We had a great room with free safe and stocked fridge, water, beer and pop each day. The fan and AC worked great. Our room service was great and our elevator took seconds to arrive, never a wait. The patio door locks when you close it, so either make sure someone is in the room to let you back in or leave the door open a bit, so you can get back in. We were steps away from the pool, buffet, swing bar and beach. The beach buffet served a wonderful breakfast and lunch daily, it converts to a Steakhouse and Seafood a-la carte restaurants for supper. We all enjoyed the beautiful beach, wonderful buffets and five of the six a-la carte restaurants that we attended. Reservations can be made for the current day and the next. This can be done in the lobby or with the concierge at your building, very convenient and never an issue getting a reservation. The bacon wrapped fillet at the Steakhouse was delicious! We also had a lovely welcome dinner the night we arrived with entertainment, for West Jet customers arriving that week. We all gained weight, with such a wonderful variety of food choices. The resort is very large but the carts/trolleys were always handy to take us to the lobby area. We shopped in Playa del Carman and at the resort stores and the market that comes in once a week on Saturday nights. The beach water is not as clear and blue as some of the Caribbean water but the pool more than makes up for this. The seaweed is cleaned early every morning and the only sandbags to help build up the beach are in an area in front of the buffet that you don’t even see anyways. There is also a quiet pool around buildings 6, 7 & 8 with another buffet which we didn't get to. I walked the beach every day. To the left is a clear lagoon area that is quite nice. The free wifi worked very well, throughout the resort as well as on the beach. This is a nice added touch to keep in contact with family and friends at home. Unfortunately, my brother fell and cut his head on the third day. The doctor was there within twenty minutes. Every morning and evening paramedics came and cleaned and changed the dressing. Our thanks to Alonzo Avila, Public Relations Assistant Manager for all his help and the wonderful paramedics. We all loved our vacation at BBGE and would certainly recommend it and would return any time.

The Pyramid Cancun: Stay at the Grand Oasis, not Oasis Cancun

Same grounds but a lot more selection in restaurants and clubs at the Grand Oasis. The food at the Oasis was not very appetizing, service was not very good either. Spring breakers were very aggressive.

Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya: Excellent Resort but beach is so so.

The room and resort was clean and perfect. A lot of walking but that helps burn off the food. Best a la carte was the Brazilian. Thanks to Angel for an excellent night at the Brazilian. Wine is not very good so bring your own from duty free.

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen: Beautiful resort

The hotel was spotless, staff was amazing and friendly, beach was stunning and rooms were fantastic! The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy especially Didier at the front desk!

Catalonia Yucatan: Great family resort

Hotel - okay, bathroom counter cracked & chipped Room - cleaned daily, enough towels, beach towel in room is great idea Beaches - advertise that beach is best for boating and scuba diving Grounds - very well maintained in a natural setting Restaurants - adequate, would like different foods at each buffet Food - good Drinks - did not appreciate powdered cranberry juice and other drinks mixes Staff - friendly, but way TOO MANY sales persons, especially on the first day when trying to navigate the  [... read more]grounds Natural Juice Hut - great but discovered day before we leave, small signage

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful resort!

Our favorite part of the resort was our view from the room and the beach area. Not too busy where we were and lots of chairs to chose from. Variety and quality of the food and drinks in the buffet and a la carte restaurants were excellent. Service was pretty good but not outstanding. If I returned to this area I would stay at the Akumal.

The Bel Air: Beautiful Beach

Beach was lovely, food so so, loved the close proximity to Cancun and the bus was a bonus! $1 a ride! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The lobby was strange. No chairs! In the evening when we wanted to unwind there were only about 6 chairs in the lobby. Not sure of the logic behind this, but its a shame as there would have been more people around if seating was available.

Dreams Huatulco: Wonderful Break from Endless Winter!

We recently returned from Dreams Resorts and Spas in Huatulco. We travelled with another couple and felt it was definitely one of our new top faves. The positives include...weather was perfect EVERY day (much needed vitamin D after our never ending winter cold + snow!) spotless everywhere and constantly being cleaned, beautiful view from our lounge chairs by infinity pools, excellent buffet with huge selection for everyone and the staff were always helpful and smiling while saying "our pleasure" [... read more]!! The only negative I could say is the "towel game" is in full force..I'm sure people place their towels on lounge chairs before going to bed at night to reserve?!?

Presidente Intercontinental: Outstanding Resort

The Presidente was excellent, the food was very good and the accomodations were very comfortable. In fact, probably the best bed I have ever slept on in Mexico. The service was unbelievable. We are already planning our next trip back to the Presidente.
