My husband and I planned a trip to the Marival after one of my cousins told me they were going with several other family members. So we said heck yea. That was in late Jan. I booked thru AmEx travel and was very disappointed in that the trip (airfare) kept going down in price and I guess should of waited... more

We just returned from a week long trip to the Marival. We researched for the perfect resort for months before deciding on a resort for my husband and 2 teenagers (ages 15 and 19). Previously we have stayed in Playa del Carmen and have stayed at Iberostars. We were hoping for a comparable resort. We stayed in a one bedroom... more

This is the first review I have ever written about a vacation, however I often conduct a lot of research before booking a family stay. Many of the reviews left for this resort were favorable, however we took 10 people to PV and none of us had a good experience. First off, this resort was only 40% filled so they... more

Traveled with spouse and a 3 year old son with all-inclusive option. We had a one bedroom unit with very good size kitchen area, balcony overlooking the ocean, and spcious living room. Resort has nice grounds; well kept, clean, beautiful greenery. Pools were fantastic and our son particularily loved the kiddy water play area which consisted of very shallow pool... more

My husband and I have been to the Marival Resort each year in April/May for 4 years. We just came back from a week from APril 24, 2009 through May 2, 2009. Things have changed. They downgraded the liquors and wines. There are very few english television channels. They offered exceptional packages to Mexican residents but these packages were not... more

We had been to this resort once before, but due to the package price, although it was well worth it, thought it was a bit out of our price range. Imagine my surprise when we found this resort at a last minute deal for $831. CDN with the taxes in. We booked it immediately for April 11 - 18, 2009.... more

This is a large time share hotel, so I didn't expect the staff to care about us as guests, because they have high occupancy during holiday seasons. One thing I didn't like at all about this place is the quality of the guests: to say the least, I saw lots of people, mainly adult females, that don't understand that to... more

We stayed at the Marival for my wife's 40th Birthday. The resort was nice. We stayed in a suite. The decor is slighly dated, but our room was very close to the beach. The food was ok, with the Italian being the best with the best service and mixed drinks. The Mexican restaurant was the worst food and had awful... more

We stayed at the Grand Marival from April 17th to the 24th. We chose this resort because the reviews we read on tripadvisor were positive in general; we were very happy with our decision!!! Before our departure, we requested (to our travel agent & by email to the hotel) a room on a top floor with a king size bed... more
