“Would definately go back”
This was our first tip to Mexico, was very impressed with the hotel, staff, and food, could not find a negative from the whole trip.
“great family vacation”
The marival is a great place for families, the food selection is abundant and there are many different type of restaurants to pick from. You won't go hungry. There is a different theme each night in the buffet. For the a la cartes, reserve prior to your departure or get up early to book your favorite spot as space is limited.These restaurants are more upscale dining. we had teenage boys and took advantage of the bikes on site, tennis courts and rock climbing is also available. I would recommend buying your own boogie boards (approx. 10-15$) as on red flag days the hotel will not hand them out. you can buy them on site in the sports hut on the beach. We just passed them on to another family when we left. The mexican fiesta is very good at the hotel. They had mexican theme night at the buffet and were then pleasantly surprised when we went to the fiesta, they were cooking there as well. There was candy apples, cotton candy,drinks and numerous different cooking stations set up. For a resort they do a nice fiesta and touch on the culture of their beautiful country. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are decent and clean. If you are looking for a spa like resort, with top of the line everything then this is not the place for you. But if you want a good family resort with good value for your money the marival is the place. As a family we also felt very safe in this area and hotel.
“Best all inclusive !!!”
Best all inclusive for this price range, food was above average and drinks were great , very family oriented but you will find places where you can relax and get away from all noisy areas.
“Awesome! Can't wait to go back!”
My husband and I LOVED the Marival-we had a room with a great view, all of the staff were very friendly and helpful, we had a great time everyday with everything from enjoying the restaurants and bars to the pools and all of the extra activities and entertainment. We would recommend this hotel to anyone with complete confidence!
“Would go back tomorrow excellent value . most impressed”
This resort was the best.When they say all inclusive they do really mean just that,you could stay the whole week or 2 and never see any money or credit cards and nothing is added at the end that you do not know about. The staff are just great, the meals are 5 star plus and the bars are open from 10am to 3am with just about any drink you want including cocktails available. This is the best holiday we have ever had.Just great.
“Can't wait to go back!!”
Marival Resorts & Suites is a wonderful place. The grounds are well manicured, pools extremely clean, beaches groomed daily. I highly recommend making restaurant reservations. We were not disappointed in the restaurant food but the buffett was not so good. I believe you can make reservations on-line prior to your trip on their website. Very family friendly resort. I don't have children living at home anymore so I was hesitant about going here. But to be honest, the place is so big I wasn't bothered in the least. Several pools to choose from and the beach is so close! There are vendors who walk up and down the beach, but they are very polite and not pushy. I simply smiled and said no thanks. I plan on returning to Marival.
“Wow!”
This resort was absolutely perfect for our family. We are planning to go back. Everything was immaculate, rooms were very confortable, the food was unbeleivably delicious, lots of variety. The quantity of restaurants was great. Our family enjoyed lots of the available activities (sea kayak, catamaran, boogie boarding, rock climbing, mini-golf...). The beach was perfectly clean. The staff was efficient, helpful, knowledgeable and very kind. This facility provided us with the opportunity to relax and bound. What more to ask?
“Wonderful vacation!”
Had a fabulous trip! Only downside was that the ocean and activity shack were "closed" due to all of the sting rays.
“111”
The food was excellent. The best we ever had at a Mexico hotel.
“Can't wait to go back. Staff is super friendly and helpful.”
This hotel was so nice. The people were very friendly and there were plenty of palapas on the beach. Food was good and the beach was wonderful.
