Don't believe anything you read about what is available here except a very large beach. Meals are very pricey and you have the "choice" of one restaurant and one "grill". The food is above average but overpriced. A dorm sized fridge in the room is not adequate for an extended stay and the stovetop is almost useless. It is a... more

We just got back from a week long relaxing vacation at the Mayan Palace. The hotel was very nice and the service was great. Just adding to what everyone else said, the hotel is 30 minutes away from town. If you plan to bring a book and lay by the pool or ocean and relax then you will really like... more

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
