Palmaïa-The House of AïA: All Inclusive Wellness Resort

Playacar

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely loved our time at Palmaia - the food was incredible (as a usually non-veg/vegan it was a huge treat and has inspired my husband and I to reduce our meat intake because we never missed it), the staff were all really lovely, the room had a great view and the beach was fab. We also went to several of their activities and the spa and really enjoyed them. Perfect spot for our babymoon/honeymoon!

Hotel Villa Las Anclas

Colonia Centro

10/10 Excellent

I can't rate this property highly enough. With only 7 duplex villas the staff quickly get to know each guest by name and are welcoming and take an interest in what you are doing, and if there is anything they can do to help. Carly, the property manager is amazing, friendly, polite, cheerful, and always willing to have a chat even when she is busy. Each duplex consists of a kitchen area with coffee maker, fridge and microwave, and an adjoining sitting area, upstairs via an open plan narrow...

What a great find can not fault it staff & service is excellent, location great, facilities perfect, rooms clean and comfy. And the main reason we selected the hotel was the a la carte and cocktails and they did not disappoint the food (especially the lunches) were superb as you’ll see from most of my photos. I even had time to relax and do a little sketch of the pool. It’s a little hotel which we wanted as not a big hotel person but if you want the sister hotel is a 5 minute walk along the...

Villas El Encanto Cozumel

Colonia Andrés

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is lovely, it was quite quiet when I was there which was nice and they let me have a late checkout. The cabin was lovely with 3 double beds in it (was quite expensive though for off season). The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, the only thing was the hot water only lasted for about a minute then it was gone which is not great when washing your hair and the showerhead was not the greatest. The staff were absolutely lovely.

Beautiful luxury resort in Playa Del Carmen. The property is extremely well-maintained with modern amenities, and the staff were very polite and helpful. This was our first-time staying at an all-inclusive resort, and we were pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of food and drinks available at each of the restaurants. A favourite was the Aromas cafe, which had amazing iced coffees and ice-cream! We opted for a suite with a hot tub, which was excellent. As it was our honeymoon, the...
