We loved everything about the Mayan Palace: the oceanfront location, the beautiful grounds and pool areas, the great activities staff and family activities, the oceanview two-bedroom suite, the restaurant and pool cafe, and especially the beautiful sand beach abundant with perfect seashells of many varieties and sizes. We've traveled to many beaches in the Carribean, Florida and Hawaii and have... more

I read all the reviews before going and they were very helpful. Just a warning that their 90 minute presentation turned into 5 hours and the only way we got out was just to get up and walk out. That left a pretty bad taste for the place. The food was good but very limited unless you want the buffet,... more

I don't play golf so it was just the added greenery for me and I did appreciate it. This was our third trip to the Mayan Palace and again we were not disappointed. So it's not completely finished...it takes years to achieve a vision. What they have is well worth 3-4 *s. The food on site is excellent and the... more

If you want nice grounds, attentive staff, great food, spa treatments, a challenging golf course with great views, and to relax by the pool , then this is your spot. I just got back from a week vacation there with my boyfriend. We read the reviews before and they were very helpful. Here are a few things I wish they... more

Stayed at the Mayan Palace Puerto Penasco March 21-28, 2009. Drove from Arizona. No problems whatsoever on the drive down or the drive back. Came back across the border about 9:00 a.m. on Saturday and only had one vehicle ahead of us. Stayed in a two bedroom master suite -- bedroom one has a king sized bed and a bath,... more

We stayed here 3 nights from March 19-22,2009. The dinner buffet is a crap shoot..some things are awful and others quite good... We ordered off the menu because sometimes you don't need all that food. One night we split the shrimp dinner ($20.)and ordered the caeser salad ($7.) and that was excellent...and way less $ than ordering 2 buffets at... more

We stayed 1 week in a 2 bedroom unit. Clean room, no complaints there. We had 7 people at one point and we were all comfortable. We brought food from home since our kids eat all the time, but the fridge is small and the stove top is weak. I recommend 1 pot easy fix meals, since you can only... more

We were told it's where Vegas meets the beach....Baloney. It is where the desert hits the beach, The resort is 30 minutes from town on a two lane hwy. The resort is not finished, meaning the pools, restaurants etc. We sat through the sales presentation again and were told what we own and spent 23k on is 'obsolete' and we'll... more

Checked in thru an RCI 2 Bedroom/2 bath Exchange mid-Friday on February 27. Received a large master suite on the 1st floor facing the ocean. Water fountain and large pond in front of our room, then the ocean, so no one walking in front of your windows. Kitchen is good for 2-3 people. Small fridge, 2 burner stove, toaster, coffee... more
