Barceló Maya Palace - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at the Barcelo Palace resort for the last 15+ years. The resort is very well maintained and the Palace pool is the largest I have ever seen in person. You never feel crowded as there is a lot of space to move around between the swim up bar, bubbler, and lounging cabanas. Our rooms are always clean and the air conditioning works wonderfully. Keep in mind this is a large resort and some rooms are a long walk to the buffet and pool areas. On our last trip this past July, we realized they no longer have irons in the room. For some this may not matter but for those that it does, bring along a travel iron. I also noticed wash cloths are not given unless asked for. Not a major concern but still a bit odd they are not automatically included. Our only 'challenge' was making reservations for a la carte restaurants. It was difficult to make a reservations for a time earlier than 9:30pm in certain restaurants and others were not available the entire week. We made it work and do not have an issue with the buffets so it did not spoil our trip. Overall, my family loves this resort. We go every other year and always have a more positive than negative experience. The beach is absolutely beautiful! Seaweed is hit or miss but that is not the resort's fault. They do a wonderful job to clean as much as possible. Definitely give it a chance, you will love it!"

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Solo Stay at Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen I traveled alone to Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, and I can honestly say the staff made my experience very special. From the moment I walked through the entrance, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. What impressed me most was that the kindness wasn't limited to one department. From the staff welcoming guests at the entrance, front desk, housekeeping, bartenders, servers, restaurant staff, entertainment team, and everyone working behind the scenes in the kitchen—the service was wonderful throughout the entire resort. As a woman traveling alone, feeling comfortable and welcomed was especially important to me. The staff made it easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I never felt awkward sitting, eating, or spending time by myself. Instead, I felt like the staff genuinely cared whether I was enjoying my stay. I also want to recognize the employees guests don't always see or remember to mention. The people cleaning, preparing food, maintaining the resort, and working in the kitchen are just as important to the experience. From the entrance all the way to the kitchen, the entire staff deserves recognition. Thank you to everyone at Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen for making my solo trip so enjoyable. Your kindness, hospitality, and hard work did not go unnoticed. I left with wonderful memories and would definitely return. ❤️🌴🇲🇽"

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and huge, so definitely be prepared to do a lot of walking! The buffet food was okay, but if I could do it again, I would skip the buffets and make reservations at the à la carte restaurants because they were delicious. The entertainment was also really good every night. My only real complaint was the beach, but that’s understandable given the season. Also, some of the employees seemed to get annoyed when you asked for things not all of them, just a few. Other than that, we had a great experience! My kids had an absolute blast, and that’s what mattered most to me."

The Reef Playacar Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The rooms were kept clean, and the staff were wonderful, friendly, and welcoming. The pool area needed more attention throughout the day, especially because there were often dead flies, bees, and other insects in the water. The food was also very repetitive. By the end of the week, it felt like we were eating the same meals over and over again. One thing I found especially disappointing happened at the second pool. A staff member turned off the water features while the children were playing. This was upsetting because those water features were one of the few activities available for younger children in the pool area. The resort is advertised as family-friendly, but most of the entertainment seemed focused more on adults. There were not many activities for younger children. I also felt that turning off the water features while the kids were enjoying them was unnecessary and quite mean. For a family-friendly resort, I expected more consideration for children and more entertainment options designed for them. Also keep in mind if you do rent a car parking is limited and you might leave the car park outside the property"

Palmaïa-The House of AïA: All Inclusive Wellness Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! Easily the best resort we have stayed at. I am not Vegan but the best part of this trip was definitely the food. The all-inclusive is the best deal around by far. There are plenty of non-vegan options but honestly I mostly ate the vegan versions. Everything was top-shelf. Charlies Vegan Tacos were a highlight. And we actually lost some weight while we were there since its so healthy. The service was incredible. Everywhere we went we were greeted with smiles and hellos. We got to know by name many of the staff. The Pools are about the best I have seen and the beach (when there is not seaweed) is incredible. And they keep it cleaner than any other beach around. Every time we ventured out to try something different we came back to the hotel because it was just better. The free classes like Yoga were amazing as well. I feel this is a secret that will soon be out. But thank you to all the staff who were part of this experience."
