MJonathan

Stayed here 9 nights over Xmas 2011. The room (307) was a stellar value - jacuzzi tub, great bed, bright room, excellent double shower. The rooftop was an amazing place to chill, usually there were just a few guests. It's a great place to read and relax and have a drink. Hotel staff were excellent all around, really personal service. (Thanks, Oscar!)
We had the daily breakfast here that was included, but added eggs, etc. Much higher quality than breakfast at most of the places around the corner.
Hotel had a European vibe to it, very similar to our last stay in Barcelona. There are some good restaurants around the corner from here.
Highly rec. if you don't like cheesy mega hotels and generic service.

Beautiful resort with amazing service

NYC Jetset

Beautiful landscape, amazing rooms, lovely grounds, and, most importantly, truly stellar service. HIghly recommend.
One point to mention is that to access the beach / beach club, one needs to either (a) take a 10-minute boat ride, boat arrives every 30 mins; (b) take a short buggy ride, called at conveninece; (c) rent a bike for $5/day; or (d) walk for about a mile. The boat trip / buggy ride are pleasurable - but the beach is definitely not at your feet.

Love Banyan Tree Mayakoba

The villas were gorgeous. I highly recommend utilizing the outdoor bath tub. The private pool and patio area were great for relaxing but the common areas are wonderful too. The staff was super friendly, anticipated my needs and worked hard to make my stay enjoyable. The drinks at the pool and beach were outstanding. I highly recommend the mayakoba margarita and the passionate margarita.
The spa was a 10. its very expensive but totally worth it. The massage therapists are highly trained and the part where she crawled on my back was awesome.
The only downside is that the food, especially the dinners is very expensive. It's good but i would prefer to not eat super fancy dinners when i am on vacation.

Great Place With Kids

Just got back from a week at Sandos and it was a great resort for families with kids (we have a 7yr and 4yr old) they loved it. Probably not the resort for just a couple wanting peace and quiet. Be sure to book your dinner reservations early as the reservations fill. The staff at the resort was great, food was good, and clean. Overall no real big complaints

Booked this hotel last minute based on website reviews, was very nervous about it as I stayed on my own (never done that in central america, as a woman it's a little nervewracking). I always take reviews with a grain of salt, but decided to go for it, and everything the reviews said was spot on. Safe, clean, great staff, a little bit loud but everywhere in PDC was this past weekend with music festival (and nothing a pair of comfortable ear plugs couldn't cure). Great breakfast, and fantastic value for money. The room was nicer than my friend's room who were paying almost twice what I paid at a different hotel, and they had to move rooms 3 times before they were comfortable!
All in all, would highly recommend this. It's not a huge room, but it's a good, comfortable size room (enough to have a few people over for a quick drink before heading out). And the towel animals were adorable :)
All in all, highly recommended for a very nice, safe, convenient, clean, pretty hotel, especially for the price.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was clean and the staff were really nice. It was also in a quiet area, north of all the clubs, but still within walking distance of the fun. My only critiques have to do with the really small pool, and the beach club passes. One of the beach clubs had boats parked out front so there was no room to swim. The other had loud thumping disco music--not really conducive to relaxing. With that said, you can go anywhere to swim, so it wasn't that big of a deal. It's a good choice for a vacation!

The Ocean View Bungalow was just perfect! We enjoyed the view and also the beach, hammocks, and nice beach lounge chairs of which there were many. No need to worry about saving a chair with a towel. The food was excellent, and the staff wonderful. It is truly a small, laid back, relaxing place to be! The king size bed was very comfortable, and we had hot showers, a room safe, A/C and a small refrigerator.
There was a nice pool side bar with good food. We enjoyed the outdoor restaurant for breakfast and dinner. It is a very laid back restful place to vacation for families, couples and friends.

My husband and I were looking for a vacation before Christmas where we could get away, relax and reconnect while leaving our 15 month old with her grandparents. Grand Velas was perfect! The customer service was the best I have seen at a resort, the food was spectacular and for half of our stay the resort was not crowded. We could not have enjoyed our time anymore. It is a family friendly resort, but they have an adult only pool where we enjoyed spending the day. We would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a restful vacation!

Very upscale relaxing environment where everyone who works there is always smiling and knows your name. Overall the grounds were exceptional and the restaurants were of new york city 5 star quality. Even the buffet was excellent and the selection varied daily. Service here really sets the bar for what a resort should be like. Our butler/concierge Rogelio was exceptional and always went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The spa experience from beginning to end was absolutely mind blowing. The massage and the water journey were both one of a kind.

This was the most relaxing vacation ever.... a perfect combination of fun and action in Playa del Carmen and the laid back atmosphere at Mahekal Beach Resort.
Our adult children really loved being able to walk into town and shop or relax on the beach at the resort. Bring books as there is no TV in the rooms.
The staff was very efficient and friendly. The food was quite good especially the breakfasts. We felt very safe as there was adequate security. The rooms are very colorful and quaint and we felt at home without the structure of many all inclusive resorts...no reservations need for meals. Also you were able to switch lunch and dinner if you wanted to dine in town. We were in the minority as Americans and it was fun to mingle with people from so many different countries.
One warning...watch your speed if driving. Auto rental will cost DOUBLE of what you are quoted once the mandatory insurance is added to the rental. You do not need a car and next time we will take a shuttle from the airport.
All of the family are already planning our next trip to the Mahekal resort.

Lovely Stay in a Wonderful Beachfront Resort

RiBrown74

We had stayed at the same resort 8 years ago, when it went under the name Shangri La Caribe. As far as we could tell, the excellent service, comfortable accomodations and delicious food have not changed in the least. The service was very prompt and courteous, and the staff expends effort to learn the names and preferences of the guests, to make each greeting more personal. The staff members have a lot of experience at the hotel - at least one we chatted with had been there for 30 years, and their service can be summarized as highly attentive but not intrusive. When you need assistance, they are there in a flash, but they don't force themselves on you when you don't need them.
We were located in the Garden View Caribe section, which means no ocean view. But we ended up being close to the pool, the bar/rec room (2 billiards and 2 ping pong tables - all in good condition) and to the evening dinner restaurant, and did not mind making the 90-second walk to the beach. Truth be told, some of the bungalows right on the beach, with private jacuzzis, looked great, and would be fantastic for a honeymoon.
There is wireless internet in the bar/rec room and in reception, though it is not a terrific signal. There is also a computer for public use in the bar/rec room, which is handy for checking emails.
The meal plan including breakfast and either lunch or dinner worked very well for us; typically we chose breakfast and dinner, and on one occasion paid for lunch at poolside. The food and drink prices are not at all unreasonable - about $3 for beer, $10 for a plate of 3 tacos - not cheap, but certainly justified given the setting and service.
We are already planning our next trip to Playa del Carmen, and will again stay at the Mahekal - our 2 boys will expect no less!

Very nice resort, but there are others out there too.
Pros:
BEACH! Beautiful sand and ocean.
Room & grounds very clean.
Staff was super friendly.
Food was very good everywhere we went.
Location nice since you can walk to Playa del Carmen or get a taxi for $7 USD.
Cons:
Reservations at restaurants for dinner---had to waste beach time to wait in line to make reservations for the evenings, which was a real pain.
They did not honor our room location request. In fact, we requested as close to the ocean as possible but our room was almost as far from the ocean as possible. We stayed right by the buffet restaurant and it was very loud until about 11:30 every night from the entertainment.
Drink service was non-existent on the beach, which was unusual compared to other resorts we've stayed at.
Overall, a very nice resort. Would maybe stay here again but there are other places that don't require dinner reservations and do provide great drink service on the beach.

The hotel was beautiful. The beach was clean. The food was good but could use a little more variety in the buffet offerings at lunch.
I would go back again. I loved being able to walk to a town to shop. The nightlife in town was wonderful but at the hotel it was somewhat lacking.
The staff was friendly and accommodating.
It was great!

What a beautiful resort, wall to wall granite and marble. The rooms are amazing, clean, very well kept and a joy to spend time in. The entire grounds are kept immaculate and make it easy to unwind here. Service is cordial but not overly friendly. Our onsite rep even went the extra mile to see that one of our rooms was changed to one with better air conditioning. Food at the a la carte restaurants was better than others I've visited but the buffett food and offering was MUCH better than other all-inlcusives I've visited. Expect premium liquor brands all over the resort.

This is not a 5* resort with all the trimmings (which I must admit Im used to) but its actually a nice alternative to the whole hotel scene. The staff are very friendly, especially the front desk staff and on the whole efficient! The appartments (I had a 2 bed, 2 bath) are very spacious and clean. The gym is actually a real gym and has great facilities including classes. The beach club is OK, again staff nice and friendly but you cant access the sea from it as all the boats moor there, which was disappointing. For a good value vacation in a prime spot, I would definitely choose condo hotels.

The reception staff (Edgar and David) were just great. Very helpful and welcoming. It was good to be greeted by them everyday. The room was good except it was an internal one with a faux external window. If I stay again, I will ask for one with a balcony. Cable TV offered a fair choice of channels, the shower was hot, but only tepid water from the taps in the hand basin. The complimentary goodies in the bathroom were fantastic! The bed was huge and could have slept three people comfortably. The room was air conditioned too. Breakfast was included in the price so I could have eggs of my choice every day plus a couple of cups of tea. My request for tea was met with a little bewilderment and perhaps this is something staff could accustom themselves to - black tea with milk. But this is quibbling as they were very accommodating.
The only downside to my stay was the on the roof party that went on until 4am on the Sunday night. As a guest I had free entry with a wrist band that said "open bar", this, in my home country, would be interpreted as free drinks and this was not the case. The noise from the party was rather intrusive too when I got back to my room. Having said this, I was not bothered by noise at any other time.
The other thing where they could improve is to provide a fresh bottle of drinking water every day - this was done in other hotels with a lower stay rating in which I stayed. This hotel punches above its weight and would certainly appeal to an unbeat, trendy crowd. It is very close to the beach and if you like privacy, you can sunbathe on the roof. It is also just off 5th avenue, so you are close to all the restaurants and bars you will need. I would certainly stay again.

First thing is to RENT a car as the location is not easy to find and the taxi fares are ridiculous because they know you are a tourist. The property is not breathtaking, but it's nice and comfy. If you are a crowd lover this isn't the place for you. Overall you will have a great stay at this hotel, the staff are friendly and will go beyond to make your stay as memorable as possible. AVOID 5th avenue because it's too expensive:-) but again it's up to your pocket.

if you rent a car ,it cannot be better in playa del carmen.
if you want to go at the beach it is 15 min walk . the birds are there all the time it is funny for pictures, it is at 200meter from xelha birds sanctuary and many kinds escape from there and live around the hotel
for taxi to the beach it is $5. the breakfast was good and complete. they were all the time open to help us.
it is the most secure place in playa del carmen because it is in a private park that you pass gates to enter . you can walk there alone even in the middle of the night.

Hate Cold Weather

The motel was clean and beautiful. I loved the plants in the inner courtyard and the rooms were nice with a good shower and comfy bed. The pool was perfect for cooling off and the view was wonderful from the roof. We loved the location - so close to the beach and all the 5th Avenue action. We would definitely recommend this place.

but, the rooms are not very well sound proofed... it is a problem since the hotel is on the busiest street of playa del carmen at night.
Other than that, great staff, great decoration effort, and great location.

Good But Not Great

Jonny Playa

We had very high expectations for this hotel going in, maybe too high. Though the experience was very nice, it was not the best. I would have given this a rating of 3 1/2 stars if I could have. It was slightly better than average. We stayed in a Master Suite in the back of the hotel to avoid the noise of 5th Ave, this worked out well. The staff was very nice and informative, especially Pawy at the front desk, she was great! The room itself would have been really cool if they maintained it better, floor was chipped in places, paint job was bad, no attention to detail. The rooftop pool would have been nicer if they maintained the roof area a little better. It would have been very easy to make it a little more comfortable and aesthetically appealing. The location of the hotel was great, right off 5th where all the action is and a couple of short blocks to the beach. As far as the beach goes, take the walk to 30th to Kool Beach Club, much better than the ones right near the hotel. Food is great, can't get a bad meal in that area. Massages are cheap and good, treat yourself to several. They are available all over the beach as well. All in all it was a terrific trip! In closing, In Fashion needs a little work but not much to make it a 4 star hotel.

Beyond lovely. The food is some of the best I have EVER had, and it was an all inclusive. My entire family commented multiple times that there is no chance they will be able to keep it up, as they must be losing a bundle on the quality ingredients, made to order items, and simply fabulous options. Seriously gourmet. Although construction was still going on, staff was attentive, polite and helpful. We were upgraded as soon as we got there, and have a wonderful, awesome experience. Would go back in a heart beat!!

Perfect Honeymoon at La Perla

jesskeff
- Jan 24, 2012
We spent 8 nights and 9 days in a swim up Royal Service suite at the La Perla (which is the adults only side). We had a personal butler named Sharon who was fantastic. The room was gorgeous and the only possible down side to the room is that from the Royal Service Swim up location there are no stairs into our out of the pool except into your room. It seemed most other swim up rooms had better accessibility.
The food was amazing although at some of the restaurants they allow children however there was never more than two families at a time.
This hotel is still new and so still quite empty I could see it losing some of the charm as it fills up. However, as long as they continue to have enough staff I think this will continue to be a great place to visit.

We did a lot of All inclusive trips in the past and this one was the best ever. Everything is in place so you can relax and enjoy your vacation. All restaurants are great. The tasting menu at Passion restaurant is really good. Cost only 40$USD per person. I am allergic to peannut, seafood and fish. They did really care about it in all restaurant. They even propose me a different but very nice tasting menu at the Passion Restaurant.
I could add a lot of great comments but I'll let you discover this wonderful place... About the room and hotel, you get what you see on the pictures...

Winter Getaway 2012

Mai Tai Girl
- Jan 13, 2012
This was our second trip to the Valentin. We were so pleased when we visited last year that we chose to go back to the same resort instead of trying something "new" for this vacation. I am sad to say that we were somewhat disappointed as things seemed to have changed since our last visit. Don't get me wrong, the resort is beautiful. The service was wonderful EXCEPT at the front desk/ reception area. It was our experience there that tainted the entire experience of our trip. Let me first say that we are not huge complainers. However, on the 3rd morning of being awakened at 6:30 am by hammering and banging we decided we had had enough. We went to the front desk to ask what was going on and if anything could be done. They did not admit to knowing of any construction and basically looked at us like we were crazy. After my husband informed them he had seen the workers and knew which room they were working in they said they would "file a complaint". On the 4th morning it happened again. I was so frustrated that I immediately dressed and went back to the desk. I was then told that the complaint had been filed but there was nothing they could do because the workers were hired construction workers and not Valentin employees. Therefore, they could not mandate what time they started working. REALLY, I was flabergasted. The only option given was for us to move rooms after 3pm. I was not thrilled to have to spend a good part of my vacation day packing and moving to a new room. Had we been offered an upgrade at this time it might have made it worth the trouble. However, we were told this was not possible, we would be moved to the same category room. Later we were propositioned to upgrade for a "discounted" price. This is not how service should be at a 4/ 5 star resort. It really did put a damper on the entire trip and our overall feeling about the resort.
On a positive note, the food was some of the best we have had at similar resorts. The beach and pool areas are very nice. For the most part it is a very relaxing resort, if you don't mind being woken up at 6:30 every morning......

IT WAS GOOD NOT WONDERFUL... THE HOTEL IS NICE, CLEAN, VERY ECO FRIENDLY. BUT THE BAR SERVICE IS JUST .. BAD!! FROM A SIMPLE LEMONADE TO A MARGARITA OR COCKTAIL THE TASTE AND SERVICE WAS SAD TO SAY.. AWFUL..... FOODWISE IT´S OK... THE SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS AND OUTDOOR PIZZARIA ARE OKAY BUT THE BUFFET AND POOLSIDE GRILL IS BLAND IN TASTE TO SAY THE LEAST.THE NIGHT TIME ACTIVITY PLAN CALLED FOR A MEXICAN FIESTA WICH WAS A BIG SHAM.. I´VE BEEN TO BETTER ONES THAT LASTED MORE THAN THE FULL 2 HOURS THE ONE AT THE HOTEL DID.... STILL IF YOU AREN´T GOING THERE FOR THE NIGHTTIME SO CALLED PARTIES OR THE FOOD AND DRINKS THE PLACE IS KIND OF COOL AND RELAXING. THE RIVERS/CENOTE TOURS ARE GORGEOUS AND FUN. THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE SPA IS OVERPRICED BUT IF YOU GO FOR YOUR FREE 30 MIN MASSAGE IT WILL DO THE TRICK JUST FINE. oH!! AND THE BEACH IS NOTHING LIKE YOU SEE IN CANCUN OR OGHER RIVIERA MAYA RESORTS.. THEY SAY IT BECAUSE OF THE MANGLARS ... BUT YOU DO WISH YOU HAD THE PRETTY CORAL BLUES OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW INSTEAD OF A BLACKISH BEACH... OH! AND CHECK OUT IS AT 11:00 AM with an optional LATE check out at noon.... witch sucks in my humble opinion....

Relaxing Holiday Getaway

- Jan 15, 2012
I went to this resort solo the week before Christmas and had a great time. The grounds and rooms are beautiful, the staff extremely attentive and the beach was all that I expected. I very much enjoyed the food and drinks, all pretty high quality. This was my first trip to an all inclusive so I really didn't know what to expected. Make sure you check out Krystal!
The location is Playacar was also great. I loved that it was a gated resort community (with homes and condos in addition to large hotels) so I had no qualms about going out for a run or just exploring. You can also take a long walk down the beach to get to Playa del Carmen (or just take a cab but I thought the beach was a nicer route....)
Not an ideal place for a solo traveler, though, as everyone was there with SOs or families. Also, my room was overlooking the central courtyard and over the main lounge, so there was entertainment going on every night. I was fine with being right in the heart of the action and they're good at cutting it off at 11 PM each night, but if you want to go to bed early, make sure you ask for a location that's a little farther out on each of the wings. The pool area also felt a bit smaller than some of the other resorts, but I preferred the beach anyway.
Overall, I had a great, relaxing week, which is exactly what I was going for. I would definitely recommend this particular RUI and I briefly visited the Palace Riviera Maya (stunning lobby!) and the RUI Tequilla (right across the street), which both seemed pretty nice. All five Playacar RUIs are pretty close together and it really expands your options if you take advantage of the others. Would definitely recommend and there's a very good chance I'll be back to one of the Playacar RIUs in the future (although I might try something different to mix it up, not because I didn't love the Palace Mexico!).

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Service was very good and the place is well maintained. This hotel is equivalent to a 3 star hotel in the United States. As a true 3 star hotel, it deserves an overall rating of 4 out of 5. The furniture and the bathrooms could use an upgrade and a remodeling.

Sandos was great!!

We had a great time at Sandos. Everything was beautiful, they had a great beach location. A few things I would change would be the very uncomfortable hard beds and pillows, the food was so so. We were in a villa and the hot tub never worked the whole week. Overall our experience was great! The entertainment team did a great job and we loved the adult only swim up pool bar.

This was our second stay at Sandos Playacar, and we were not dissapointed. The place doubled in size since our last trip, which provided more restaurant options and three more bars including an adult only pool bar. The restaurant food was awsome and service was spectacular. Buffet food was mostly average with an occasional surprise (BBQ ribs- YUM!) Friendly staff, and an awesome beach! During prime time it takes a while to get waited on for drinks and it was faster to walk up to the bar. Beds and pillows (byop) are hard, which is norm for Mexico. A thermal mug helps for cold beverages on the beach. Our 2 college girls, one boyfriend and one 12 yr old daughter had a great trip!

This hotel is located one block from 5th ave, which is a plus point. Staffs are very friendly. The only downside was i have encountered ants in the room and i have complained at the reception but No solution was found. I was stuck with ants for whole 14nights. Overall my experience, i would give 3and half stars.

Nice Hotel
- HHover
- Nov 28, 2011
This is a nice Hotel. The room was clean and large enough for our family of four. The Pool area was very nice. We also ate breakfast at the restaurant. They had good food and prices. Free parking
The Location was excellent, one block from the touristic 5th avenue. (No cars on this street)
Only complaint: We discovered that our room was next to the area where they did the laundry. There was a lot of noise from the equipment and the employees coming and going from this room with carts slaming doors etc. in the evening and early morning. We called the front desk but they didn’t willing to do anything about it.
I would stay here again but would make sure our room was further from the laundry area.
