    Mexico Stay - Palace Pacidico 2nd time

    We stayed here again. Our 2nd Time at the end of June and had a wonderful time, great food, and leisure.The staff are really great. We 'd like to specifically call out Maria & Gloria in the mornings at the Peninsula, Blanca at the coffee counter, Lucera during the dinner service, and Monica our room attendant. We received great service everyday of our stay, and the place is so clean and organized. I highly recommend it for Canadian couples who are looking for relaxing and romantic place.

    Good hotel

    2nd time staying here this as an adult only environment. Room was nice be view was not what we wanted overlooking the top of the other hotels rooftop. Juan in the morning greeted us for breakfast buffet had table with beverages ready every morning. Gerrman for dinner buffet was great too. Mini bar in our room was never stocked empty bottles. Quiet after 10pm. At least where we were at. Steak house was ok steak needed some salt and pepper lacked seasoning. No chilaquiles in the buffet. Never went hungry.

    Review

    Best value for an adults only all inclusive. At the Palaces, the beds are way more comfy & food is better quality vs regular RIUs. Felt like we were in luxury & will be going again next year.

    Incredible Stay

    Beautiful grounds, very clean, service was top notch. Our first all inclusive and we didn’t know what to expect, we were blown away! From the moment we arrived, any and all needs were met before we could even think to ask, we lived like kings. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful lobby, large room, comfortable bed and lovely bathroom and shower. Food and drinks were great, we especially enjoyed the Italian and the 24 hour sports bar was so nice to have the option day or night! Gorgeous beach, didn’t take advantage of the massage tents but did enjoy a lovely horseback ride on the beach with was so romantic and a definite highlight of our stay. Also loved the pool and relaxing in a lounger being served cold drinks. The epitome of a relaxing vacation. Highly recommend!
