You went at the wrong time of year. We were just there oct26/23 until Nov 2/23 and everything you commented on was the exact opposite while we were there. The sargassum was over and everyone was able to swim in the crystal clear turquoise water with no issues. My suggestion to you is do your research before you book a stay at any resort and be sure to pick your stay during the months of late October through late April. Months May through early October will be rainy, sargassum season, hurricane season and so on. We have just booked our return stay at blue bay for this oct27-nov 6/24

Some of the resort is, but the resort is so large that depending on how far you want to go between resorts, it may be somewhat difficult. Also, there are not elevators in some of the villas, so you would have to request the ground floor. On the beach, there are handicap spots that have a wooden floor for the wheel chairs.

Why do Americans call the main course an entree? Entree is the beginning or first course of a meal.
@noshoesjusttravelGO 5 ай бұрын
I wish I had a good answer as to why, but our dictionaries in American consider the entree to be the main course. I did some research and found this evolved after the Great Depression and WW II. Meals were simplified and what may have been considered an appetizer in the past became the main course. The change in meaning became custom over the years from what I read.

People, please please listen to this lady. Very poorly operated by a Spain company. We went from Feb 22nd to 29th 2024. Now Spain was on spring break (reading week). Up to over 400 university kids. 5 days of those arrogant kids partying till 7am. Breaking into the beach bars for booze. Breaking chairs and knocking on peoples doors. No accountability till the 5th day. Ya….. they catered to the Spain kids. They ran the resort. Food was average to below average. 3.5 star resort. Not 4.5. People don’t waste your hard earn money there for I guaranty you will be disappointed. A lot of rooms had issues. Bad bad lighting in all buildings. Why I don’t know. Very dark and in restaurants. I can go on and on but if you go. Wait till Spain is over on there spring break cause they rule the resort. No Spain operated resorts for us. Cheers 🇨🇦

There are 5 resorts in 1, so the Lindo, Maya, and Grand resorts include room service, but the entry level price points, Beach and Del Mar, do not. While room service is nice, we’ve only used it a handful of times on our vacations to Riviera Maya…and we’ve been there more than 25 times. We always have more food available than we can possibly eat at the Iberostar, but if room service is important to you, I’d choose at least the next level up which is Lindo.

In all fairness I was there feb last year the beach was amazing no smell at all. I’m going back next month. For sure there is a chair issue but that seemed to be isolated to the upper pool only. The lower pool has tons of deck chairs as well as the beach enough that if I saw a broken one it was east enough to find a different one. The upper pool can get a bit crowded but it’s worth the walk to the lower area if you like to sleep a bit later. The food was great and that’s what I’m really excited about. It’s most definitely not a 5 star resort but honestly for the price point you can get here it’s a great place.
