Tancah Budget Hotels from RM240

"Overall a pleasant stay - room was clean, beach was ideal for young kids since the report is essentially in a lagoon, staff was very friendly, food was delicious, grounds were beautiful and well maintained. One down side was the fact that you don’t make reservations for the restaurants for dinner - it’s all on first come first serve basis. We would wait up to 2 hours for a table and missed all the nightly entertainment. "

"Great amenities for the whole family, a lot happening all the time and the use of other resorts is a great bonus. The only downside is rooms could’ve been a little more updated (hotel needs to update the rooms (bathroom shower would leak onto the floor and there were some cracks in the floor). Otherwise very pretty and right by the beach if staying at Tulum. "

"The Scene is outstanding. The food is avg and only two beer options. Housekeeping will not respond to your needs right away. I’ll keep this location in my file. However, I want to consider other options due to hype and being let down. "

"The resort appears to be older but my room had signs of being renovated to be modern with an updated bathroom. The resort is clean with staff sweeping, collecting used drink cups, etc. Housekeeping did a great job keeping my room cleaned daily. The staff at the restaurants and pool were friendly. I booked my reservation at the resort using Expedia in order to join friends who were also staying at the resort. At the time of my booking, I was not made aware of the different tier reservations (VIP, etc.). My friends checked in two days before me and had the upgraded VIP booking. When I checked in, I was unaware of the tier bookings and requested to have the same tier booking as my friends so that I can access the VIP pool, restaurants, etc. but was denied the request by the front desk as there was no room available to match my friends booking tiers. This impacted my time spent with friends at the resort considering I could not join them in the areas they were allowed to be in. I would suggest including the tier information at the time of booking to avoid confusion when traveling with large groups who have separate bookings. Additionally, most of the reservation required restaurants were booked for 3 days after my arrival which left me with limited dinner options during my 4 night stay. Overall, the rate that I paid for my stay was comparable to my experience."

"Staff very friendly"

"Our stay at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa was absolutely amazing from check-in to check-out! From the moment we arrived, everyone was so attentive and welcoming. The resort itself is beautiful and incredibly clean, you can really tell they take great pride in maintaining the grounds. Every area felt well cared for and relaxing. The staff were truly INCREDIBLE. Guest services consistently checked in on us, and since we booked through Expedia, we even received a complimentary hydrotherapy spa experience, which was such a nice touch. At dinner each night, the staff always made sure we were happy, and the service at every restaurant was top-tier. Our favorite experience was Carnal—the show and the food were both AMAZING and definitely a highlight of our trip! But the person who truly made our stay unforgettable was Isaias, the bartender at Sambay. He went above and beyond for my boyfriend and me, providing exceptional service and making every visit so fun and memorable. Overall, this resort was nothing short of perfect. If you’re thinking about going—DO IT. You won’t regret it! "

"The staff was great but it seems that in order to save cost things al have changed in regards to food, entertainment and quality. Last time I was there things were great now it’s just average. Would reconsider going back, with all these changes I would consider going somewhere else."

"Very kind and helpful staff. "

"We had a wonderful stay at Catalonia Royal Tulum. The hotel itself was very clean, and one of our absolute favorite parts was the walk from the main area to the pool and beach—it’s a beautiful jungle path that really makes the experience feel unique and peaceful. Along the way, we saw lots of coatis, which were so fun and added to the whole nature vibe. The restaurants were very good overall, and we upgraded to the Privilege package, which was definitely worth it—especially for access to the Bloved restaurant, which we loved. The beach was absolutely beautiful. We spent so much time just sitting, relaxing, and enjoying the view. The breakfast buffet was also a highlight—very expansive with tons of options, so there was always something for everyone. The only downside for us was the amount of smoking throughout the resort. Unfortunately, we often couldn’t leave our balcony door open because of the cigarette smell, and it was noticeable in many areas. It’s a bit of a drawback, especially in such a stunning natural setting. Overall, a great stay with beautiful surroundings, good food, and a relaxing atmosphere—with just that one area for improvement."
