Club El Mandarin, Playa del Carmen

It was clean and beautiful. The beach was not crowded and it was beautiful. The food was better than any other place that I have been in Mexico. The airconditioning worked very well, which is not the case for many other hotels in Mexico. We had so much fun. Only very grouchy people would find fault with this wonderful place.

The staff was very friendly, and helpful. Food was good, beaches were beautiful and clean ( hand raked every morning ), close to playa del carmen (which is where you should book any excursions you want to do, ...way cheaper than booking through the hotel). I would recommend it to everyone!

The people were very conjenial and accomodating. And it was everything that we looked for in a resort and would go back again. The rooms were always cleaned without having to ask. The food choices were excellent and we were always satisfied.

We loved club el mandarin. The shuttle ride in to town was short an comfortable. We felt very safe and relaxed. We would have loved more water bottles put in out room fridge each day though.

no dislikes, enjoyed all three day I was there. The hotel was clean and beautiful. the staff was generous, the food was excellent. over all everthing was great and hoping to come back soon.

It was by far the best resort I have ever experienced in Mexico. The roooms were clean and very comfortable. The food was far better than any I have had in Mexico. It is well worth the price. I really do not understand the bad reviews. The air worked well. There was always plenty of hot water and the staff was very friendly and efficient. I want to return as soon as possible.

Let me just say W.O.W. Our words can't explain how much fun we had. We were there last November 2006. The only downfall was that the new pool was under construction. But the pool we did have was very nice and relaxing. It lit up at night. The scenery was very beautiful. The gardens where very well taken care of and gorgeous. The sand on the beach was not too hot nor to cold. The sunset was AMAZING. The staff was very polite and helpful. The plays they had put on while we were there, were fun and enjoying. On our last night stay they had picked people out of the crowd to go up on stage with them and dance, which is what happened to us. Very exciting. "Shout out too Nelson and Johan, from Ashlie and Jenny, your favorite Michigan girls (G-Unit)". Hopefully we'll be back soon October 2007. We definatly recommend Club El Mandarin for a fun and relaxing vacation.

The only thing I did'nt like about El Manderian was the smell @ night. everything els was grate,we are planing on going back next month. the allinclusive should have botteled beer not draft,because if you drink to much lol

Our stay at H10 El Mandarino was excellent. The location, the beach the little villa style rooms and the daily and nightly entertainment was amazing. The beach was very relaxing drinks were fresh and cold. The food there was mouth watering. Every kind of food imaginable, and every buffet style dinner was diffrent, the same for lunch. Housekeeping and groundskeeping did a wonderful job maintaining the place, very clean. Daily and nightly entertaining was fun and kept the days and nights enjoyable. Larissa, Nelson a.ka. Spicy and the entertainment manger Alvero made the entertainment fun and enjoyable. If you decide to go to el Mandarino ask for them they will keep you entertained. Overall H10 El Mandarino is the hotel to go to in Playa del Carmen.

I just got back from the El Mandarin and it was excellent! When you first checked in, someone from the bar would come and serve non-alcoalholic drinks so kids could have them. The lobby was excellent with very nice comfy chairs and tables all over. My family requested a room by the pool and it was not ready yet so a very kind lady named Aracalli led us to a room where we could all change (a bathroom). A VERY IMPORTANT TIP:Put a bathing suit in a carry-on for everyone and SUNSCREEN. The pool is great for kids because it is shallow the whole way through except for this part that is surrounded by yellow and red balls that is the deep part. The beach was OK. very rocky. But that didnt stop people from going in the water and FEEDING THE FISH. People got food from the all day buffet and fed it to the fish. they came right up to you. Water sports were great! The people at the bar were great. Oh... and Breakfast was EXCELLET!!! At night there was a kids disco that was excellent for kids!!! Kuco, who does the kids disco dresses up as Barney and the dance.THe shows were pretty amature - I've seen better.But after the shows.... there was a band who were EXCELLENT!!!! Hope my review is helpful!!!!
