Bonjour Jacinthe ! J'ai visité 6 endroits différents au Mexique. L'endroit le plus beau à mon avis est à Riviere Maya, pour son sable blanc et mer aqua comme en République dominicaine. Il est très intéressant de visiter Chichen Itza (ruines Maya), d'aller à Cozumel (attention peut être détruit actuellement) pour le snorquing et de se promener sans crainte à Playa del Carmen (village avec plusieurs restos et terrasses intéressantes). Cependant par les temps qui courent, le prix est plus élévé qu'ailleurs au Mexique.
Autre endroit que j'aime bien est Nayarit Vallarta. Situé à vingt minutes d'autobus de Puerta Vallarta. Pas trop d'hôtels sur la plage. Magnifique pour la marche et les beaux couchers de soleil. Sable plus gros et foncé, mer bleu foncé et eau brouillée par les vagues. Très plaisant d'aller à Puerta Vallarta tout près. L'hôtel Le Marival est familial. Le Royal Decameroun est très bien. Bonne bouffe, personnel courtois, beaux jardins, piscine pour adulte seulement. Pas de crainte non plus pour promenade à Puerto Vallarta. Le soir en hiver, une veste est de mise ainsi que la matin jusqu'à 9h30.
Lorsque vous allez au Mexique fin décembre, début janvier, vive Huatulco . La température est chaude. On peut porter bretelles spaguettis même le soir. C'est vraiment plus au Sud près du Guatemala. Très sécuritaire aussi la promenade au village qui est à vingt minutes de taxi.
L'endroit le moins aimé pour moi au Mexique s'avère Acapulco. Par contre, si vous recherchez l'ambiance de Montréal, disco, resto en profusion, traffic, vous serez servie. Voilà pour mes commentaires. Si vous vous posez des questions spécifiques . Ça me fera plaisir d'y répondre si j'y suis allé.
En effet Grand Porto Real est directement sur PDC mais si tu aime te baigner, tu vas pas apprécier...
La plage est pleine de roche et les bateaux sont roi...
Essai Playacar
On arrive de PDC
Si tu aime marcher un peu il y a le RIU Playacar
Max. 25 minutes à pieds de PDC ou 4 $ US en taxi
La plage SUPER les Palapas en quantités, la bouffe très bonne...
On passait la journée à la plage puis vers 15 heures (après une bonne douche) on partaient à pied pour PDC
On ne revenaient qu'après le souper ou en fin de soirée (en taxi)...
Si tu as la chance, vas souper au Las Mananitas (petit resto italien/mexicain propriété de Nancy une Québecoise et de son conjoint un Italien)
Esaie aussi le Don Emilione on s'y est régalé...
En fait tous les resto sont bons à PDC...
Je m'ennui déjà de mes derniers 15 jours merveilleux...
Je ne suis pas allé aux hôtels dont tu parles. Je suis allé une fois à Playa del carmen, au fisherman village, c'était très plaisant parce qu'à 5 minutes à pied du village. Malheureusement, cet endroit est converti en condos. L'autre endroit où je suis allé s'appelle Ibero Star, magnifique aussi parce que nous avions accès aux deux emplacements Ibero . Par contre, c'était impossible d'aller à pied au village. Il y avait des navettes à la disposition des clients. Si vous choisissez Riviera maya, vous pourrez nous remetttre vos commentaires. J'aime me tenir au courant des endroits déjà vus.
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!
Frédéric
