I will say that while we spent this vacation with a large group of people, of which several has serious problems with the resort, my boyfriend and I didnt encounter anything nearly as disasterous. (i'll only speak of our experience) I agree there was an overabundance of Mexicans visiting the resort, greatly outnumbering us. Didnt bother me much other than... more

We stayed at this resort 5 times, every November until this year. We decided to go foa change of scenery and have snow vacation in Colorado this Thanksgiving. Marival is a PERFECT resort for families with small children. Peaceful, spacious, with lots of activities for everybody. Kids' Club is good, food is good, and the specialty restaurants are extra value... more

I would like to say that the Marival was as pleasant as the first time I went in 2005. The entertainment has gotten better. I noticed Americans and Canadians working in the Resort. The food was good as our family are not picky eaters. We have never gotten sick. I have teenagers and small child and there are activities for... more

This was our 4th visit in less than three years, and LOVED it just as much. It is a perfect retreat for my sister and I, who are interested in doing nothing more than lying out in the sun from 9 am to 5 pm, and eating practically gourmet food. The pools are wonderful, as are the swimup bars. We... more

Just returned from a one week stay at the Marival. This was our second time at this particular resort, first time being three years ago and boy have things changed. Due to the economy in the U.S. and the threat of swine flu, U.S. tourism has declined and as a result, as we were told by some of the staff... more

I was at the Marival with my wife and daugther (3 years old), I was in what they call RCI PLAN, there the check in was really fast no more than 10 minutes, and the room was ready, beds and pillows are really good, but I think rooms need some upgrade. The activities and shows are the best the staff... more

My husband and I wanted to take our two boys (ages 5&6) on a fun filled vacation for once and heard great things about this resort. ALL in ALL we got a GREAT deal on the price! When we arrived we thought the place was beautiful, but were immediately put off by the check in process. After we checked in... more

Arrived in late July for a week with spouse, 6 year old and 4 year old. The grounds are clean and the rooms spacious enough. We had one room with two double and never felt cramped. Every room has a small balcony, so while the kids decompress from a morning poolside the adults can find a shady, private spot to... more

Rooms were nice very clean and spacious. Food was downright horrible even at the reservation only restaurants it was disappointing. Buffet was disappointing some nights even bad. Pool bars suffered from slow service seemingly understaffed at most hours. High pressure time share stuff was a turn off as well (takes over 2 hours not the 90 minutes promised). Grounds were... more
