Riu Playacar - All Inclusive
4.3/5100 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
4.3/5102 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.
Iberostar Waves Quetzal
4.1/5101 Reviews
This time I stayed in two five-star all-inclusive hotels in Cancun, and the other one was the famous Hotel Xcaret Mexico ( hereinafter referred to as X). Compared with the hardware facilities and scenery of X, I recommend this Chinese tourist who is not familiar with Q. ) We went for Christmas, Q Hotels are less than half the price of X Hotels (of course X Hotels include amusement park tickets, not worth the price), not far from Xcaret Water Park. Environment: Q is a very special hotel, like living in the Amazon jungle in harmony with animals, peacocks leisurely walk next to the room, on the side of the road, luck will fly to the balcony railing of the room for you to observe up close; People with a heart can also see howler monkeys, giant turtles, lizards... People who are afraid of animals don't have to worry about being suddenly frightened, except that birds are basically surrounded in fixed areas. Landscape: The largest cafeteria in Q is next to a sinking garden, and one or two people choose a location close to the railings to eat. X is the garden and Q is the jungle. Food & beverage services: Q Hotel has a feeling of being at home, the waiter is more happy and easy-going, the wine is open to drink, the buffet is fresh and there are many, basically no waiting, usually not seafood (it is said to protect the sea), Christmas day big lobster, oysters eat, not stingy at all. In contrast, the waiters at the X Hotel are all feeling of taking money and money for people to eliminate disasters. There are not many people in the buffet and they have to wait. Looking at the place, there are actually few ways to eat and drink. Activities: The beach is an open beach and does not smell the fishy smell of other hotel reviews. For me, if there is a sea, the swimming pool is superfluous, but there are often atmosphere activities organized by the hotel in the swimming pool and the beach, and there are unlimited cocktails. There are parachutes and motorboats for various charges. It is recommended to sign up for snorkeling at the hotel when the weather is clear (around fifty knives), I saw turtles and lizards.
Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive
4/5103 Reviews
3 stars at best Me and my partner are staying a week at this ”all inclusive” property, which is unfortunately not as it seems. We were advertised on TUI that the Hotel has 9 restaurants and 12 bars but good luck eating at any of them as your choices are extremely limited. Additionally we booked the El Beso property which is the adults only . You think this would be a way from the Hussle and bussle and have a private section and amenities but no. There is just a few rooms about 20ft away from the rest of the resort. With 1 adult only restaurant which isn't open every day of the week. There are 3 restaurants you have to make reservations at. 1 other restaurant is completely closed other restaurants are closed 3 days a week... The most ridiculous thing as well if you are only staying 7 days you can't make more than 1 reservation at the fine dining restaurants in 7 days. So realistically you have the choice of 4 restaurants. That's not all inclusive. The buffet was cold, the food was very disappointing. Drinks are good and service is fast. Maybe you have to be drunk to enjoy it. The room is dated but it does look like the photos. The beds are comfortable and the hotel is clean. I couldn't fault the room or staff. However we have found the property leaves much to be desired and certainly is not 5 star as we were sold it. Maybe 20 years ago. Certainly a solid 3 star resort.
Banyan Tree Mayakoba
4.7/5101 Reviews
We give 10 points for Thai food at Banyan Tree Cancun👍 Transportation: It is very convenient. It takes about 50 minutes to get to the hotel from the airport. A few days ago, we stayed at the Rosewood next door. Both Rosewood and Banyan Tree are in the same area, less than 10 minutes by car. Hotel pick-up is about 130 dollars. Service: The service is very good, with 🈶️ personal butlers, golf carts for travel, and bicycles at the door. Environment: A little old, but not bad, very original, there are woodpeckers knocking in the morning. I have met the small animal lemur countless times, and it is very cute. We especially recommend the Thai food in the hotel. We ate it twice and felt that it was not enough. The breakfast is also good. The only thing is that it is not very convenient. You have to call a taxi to go to the supermarket. The round-trip fare to the supermarket is about 90 US dollars. Just 10 minutes away.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya - All Inclusive
4.7/571 Reviews
Another great vacation at Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Once again, our lovely buttler CAROLINA took care of everything for us, and particularly all the attentions for the birthday of my wife. CAROLINA is professional, efficient, and always happy. Special thanks to the CAFE AMAT STAFF, all the girls are so kind, and AZUL STAFF, particularly LUCINA, and YAZMIN at the ADULT POOL. And finally, we have really appreciated all the attention the STAFF and the CHEF of LUCA had for us for our last dinner. Muchas Gracias!!
