Riu Playacar - All Inclusive
4.2/5100 Reviews
Stayed for 2 weeks at the end of September, our first visit to Mexico and had a great time. When we arrived at the hotel we got a welcome drink and the staff on the front desk were friendly and gave us our keys and the cards to collect our pool towels. The bedroom was spotlessly clean, very spacious, a well-stocked mini bar, and plenty of towels to use in the bathroom. The safe was free to use and also in the bedroom was an umbrella and an iron and ironing board. The balcony had plenty of room to sit out and a small drying rack which would have been better if it was slightly bigger as you cannot hang anything over the balcony. The pool area was large, the pool to the right of the bar was the noisier pool as that's where the activities took place however if you don't want to join in and have a quieter holiday then the pool to the left is far enough away. The staff from the bar come around the pool taking your orders and also come around with a trolley to make your drinks at your sunbed. The first week we were there you could go down later and get a sunbed, however the second week people seemed to put their towels on very early and we found there was a party of about 18 that put towels on but very rarely actually used the beds, so we had to get up early to get a bed which wasn't really a bad thing as we got the early morning sun before it got too hot. All the staff were very friendly, and the entertainment team were great a big shout out to Mauricio (hope that's how you spell it) as he always had a smile on his face and was definitely born for the job. The evening entertainment is good we also visited the Riu Tequilla at night especially on the Friday nights for neon night and white night which were fantastic and worth a visit. The food was excellent and always plenty of choice, wine and prosecco was always flowing with lunch and the evening meal and nothing was too much trouble for them. If you didn't want to go in for lunch then there is Pepes who does burgers, hotdogs, salad etc that you can sit on your sunbed and eat. We had great holiday and will definitely be returning.
The Royal Haciendas All Suites Resort & Spa
4.3/5103 Reviews
Stayed 3 nights. It is about 10-15 minutes by taxi from the city center. The reasonable price as of May 2019 is 200Bs. When you visit, 300Bs was taken, so please be careful if you have a suitcase. There are not so many restaurants, but the food offered seems to change daily. Dinner can be enjoyed at restaurants that require a bit formal reservation, buffet style restaurants, and teppanyaki restaurants that are limited to the day of the week. There was also a restaurant where you can eat snacks. We did not use room service, but it seemed to be so. All the dishes we ate in the hotel were delicious. During the GW period I visited, a large amount of algae was generated and I could not enter the sea, but the sand was white and very beautiful. I think there are two large pools, a children's pool, and a bath-like pool. Many of the staff are friendly and I think I was able to speak almost in English. The staff of the lobby travel agent was not that kind. Because there was bath in room and view was good, we were able to spend comfortably. It is hotel where we want to stay at again.
Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive
3.9/5104 Reviews
1 star - Please read if you care for your credit history and money. I worked in the travel industry and often travel a few times a year. My fiancé and I upgraded to the “privilege” rooms paying $420USD. Allow me to list the issues 1) The room was not fully stocked and we had to have room service come again to stock the bar 2) Hairdryer did not work 3) The Jaccuzi in the bathtub was leaking and we had Maintenance fix it the next day (I have videos) 4) Upgrading gives you a wine bottle. We didn’t get this until the next day AND no wine glasses 5) Room was dirty and not cleaned properly all the days and basics missing like tissues and etc What was the point of paying this much for an upgrade? The butler didn’t even schedule my ride back from the room to the lobby for check out time although she promised to. Here is when it gets worse!!! KEEP reading please They gave us a sales presentation to become a member with them. 10,000USD. I asked them not to a hard inquiry on my credit and they did. They lied and not no one from the company is responding to me. I emailed them to cancel my agreement and everyone is bouncing me back and forth. The director of sales Roger and the sales representative Ray are scammers. They are not willing to resolve any issue with doing a hard check on my credit or compensation. I want both Roger and Ray to fix my credit with the company and provide compensation for this horrible experience. I will write my experience and reviews everywhere until my issues are resolved.
Banyan Tree Mayakoba
4.7/5101 Reviews
As the Banyan Tree service did not have to say, that is, the charges are expensive, even the expensive is not good for hygiene, the pool villas, the small collapse in the yard can not lie, placed in the corner of the eaves do not say mosquitoes There are many ant bugs and a lot of spider webs. It looks dirty. The colony is also covered with insect secretions and spider webs. The partitions in the room are all gray, which makes people feel uncomfortable. And if it is too far to go to the beach, it is not convenient. It can only be said that this Banyan Tree is relatively backward, not as good as the nearby Viseroy.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya - All Inclusive
4.7/548 Reviews
We just got back from an extended family reunion at the Grand Velas, Riviera Maya and can't say enough positive things about it...but will try: - The rooms were fantastic. Super comfortable and big enough to fit families of 5 (assuming one is an infant) - One of our party had mobility issues, which was not an issue at the hotel - The food is unbelievably good for an all inclusive hotel - The service is amazing, all around. The people at the restaurants and pool are working non-stop to serve you. A huge shout out to our personal concierge Jorge who helped our family tremendously and to Osvald from the - Teen club who were amazing - There are a ton of activities to do for all ages - The pool is unbelievable - Make sure you try Piaf Can't wait to go back!
El Taj Oceanfront and Beachside Condo Hotel
4.3/5101 Reviews
Just stayed in one of the units for 5 n ights. Have travelled extensively adn this definitely ranks as one of the best places I have stayed. Only a 30-45 min ride from Cancun airport. Can arrange transpo ahead time right through the condo/hotel. The check in was seamless--ladies at front desk so friendly,professional,courteous. The entire staff for that matter is kind,helpful, will help get you whatever you want or need. Erick was always super helpful!!! The facilities are lush,green, decorated beautifully, great breeze form the water. The place is immaculate. Pools are great-clean, beautiful hot tub w built in seats facing the ocean is a nice touch! Some of the units have their own hot tubs. I was so pleasantly surprised by all the amenities like coffee grounds, paper products, water form the dispenser etc- amenities not usually included when I have rented condos . Looved being able to get day passes to the local gym and enjoy yoga, bootcamp etc. Location is perfect. Right on the beach. Sargassum was bad some days but hotels on beach trying really hard to keep it cleaned up-not their fault, problem all along the coasts,even Florida getting hit hard w it. I loved that Taj has its own nice little private beach area, comfy chairs w umbrellas complementary, cute restaurant on beach. Few minute walk north of us is Mamitas Beach and another beach just to south of us, also wlaking,if you want more aciton. Few block walk to 5th ave w all it's shops,restaurants,music.,nightclubs. Loved it so much I already booked a room here for an upcoming trip.
