Je viens de passer une semaine au Royal Decameron. Bien que j ai passe une belle semaine, j ai ete tres decue de la nourriture...et je n etais pas la seule...2 couples qui y sont deja alle l annee passee ont aussi ete tres decue, il parait que cela a vraiment change. C etait extremement fade, le jus d orange avait l air du jus d ananas tellement il etait dilue, les memes repas presque au dejeuner, diner et souper. A deux reprises le poulet n etait tout simplement pas cuit.Je mangeais pour me nourrir presque... Le resto Japonais etait ferme, nous sommes alles au Steak House, les 4 couples de quebecois qui etaient la etaient tres decus.J ai rien mange ce soir la...la brochette que j ai pris etait tellement dure et plein de gras que j ai du laisser faire, rendu au dessert, il n avait plus rien... Par contre j ai tres bien mange au Picolo, resto Italien. Aussi il y a eu une soiree Mexicaine ou la nourriture etait vraiment differente, la c etait de la bouffe Mexicaine, rien a voir avec les autres jours. Ils portent des masques, donc c est hygienique, bien que par bout quand on en voit plusieurs ont a l impression d etre dans un hopital hihi...
Les gens tout de meme tres gentils, beaucoup de sourires.La plage etait propre bien que les 3 premiers jours ca sentait les algues tres fortes...une odeur de choux cuit...ensuite c etait la senteur des chevaux quis sont tous pres... Il y a quelques personnes qui se sont fait piquer par les raies, nous ont a pas eu de problemes, on s est baigne beaucoup meme si ont voit pas a travers l eau. Les chambres sont propres, (l air climatisee tres forte)l ensemble du complexe est tres propre et plaisant a se promener...sauf que lorsqu on est dans le bloc 5...bloc des adultes ont doit passer a toutes les fois devant la piscine pour se rendre a la mer ou autre, c est deplaisant de toujours passer dans les flaques d eau.
Ont a pris un taxi de l hotel en demandant de nous amener a Puerto Vallarta au marche au puce...resultat..on nous a laisse dans un cul de sac en nous disant que c etait tout proche...on etait pas du tout au bon endroit, on a du reprendre un taxi...Tres agreable de se promener dans Puerto Vallarta. Aussi visiter le petit village de Bucerias, les gens sont tres gentils, sur la rue on nous dit bonjour ou plutot hola. La temperature a ete tres belle toute la semaine (15 au 22 octobre) Les spectacles sont agreables et droles.
Ont a pris WestJet, le personnel est tres gentil et drole, j etais vraiment etonnee. Attention a vos valises...en arrivant a l hotel ont nous dit de laisser nos valises a un endroit, qu ils vont les surveiller pendant le check in..la dernier journee c est la meme chose ont fait le chek out et ils nous demandent de mettre nos valises a un endroit avant de prendre l autobus, nous sommes arrives les premiers...arrives a l aeroport nous n avions pas nos valises, elles nous sont parvenus par taxi a l aeroport par la suite...stress...aussi pour un autre couple leurs valises avaient ete mises dans une autre autobus...alors surveiller a ce que vos valises entrent dans l autobus.
Malgre tout un beau voyage mais pour les formules tout compris pas certaine que je le referai. J avais deja ete au Mexique dans differents endroits et j avais toujours bien mange, faut dire que c etait des sejours de 1 ou 2 jours a chaques endroits.Pour un premier voyage peut-etre que ca peut passer, mais pour avoir vu autre chose c etait un peu decevant...Peut-etre avons nous frapper une mauvaise periode? J espere ne pas vous avoir decourage, mais je me sentais le devoir d ecrire cela car apres avoir parle a des couples qui y etaient deja alle ont a pu s apercevoir que cela avait change pour la nourriture.
ses bizzare moi jetais la au mois de nov l'année derniere et jai bien aime la bouffe sourtout le steak house jetais dnas le bloc 2 je crois celui pres de la plage coter du village jai bien aimer ses sur que les buffet sa se resemble mes ses sa dans le sud
(meme ici des fois les buffet sont pas trop bon lolll ) a moins tu prenne un 5 * et ses asser loin des resto de puerto vallarta mes popur le rete jai bien aimer
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
