Give me a break!! If the Mayan Palaces are awful, you ought to stay away! I think they are wonderful and I'm a germaphobic! Of course I wash my own dishes before I use them at all resorts including Marriot's and any hotels I might go to. I pull up all mattresses to check for bedbugs, I look in the closets and under dressers, I side view the tops of tables etc. just to be sure they are clean. I hated the Mayan Palaces sales force, and I did not buy because of them but I kept going. Now I own time there, as well as other places, and I can say they have one of the nicest and cleanest resorts anywhere. I think you just can't stand to see others have such a great experience at a place where you did not enjoy yourself. Sorry you had such a rotten time! Don't go back! But to say that the majority of people won't have a good time because you didn't. Or, that we must not mind filth is a real "I'm so much better than you that it is beneath me to see what you see" attitude! It's a beautiful and clean resort. And for any of the Caribbean areas that's unusual. Most places I've been to are beneath this resort.

I bought second-hand and could care less if anyone else wants to buy or go. And if you think too many people are making their experience "shine in too good a light" maybe it's because too many people have a great experience and love the place. There are people that you can't please and there are people who will NOT be pleased by something that others rave about, just to show how much better and smarter they are than everyone else.

Sorry if you are these kind of people, or sorry if you had bad luck! Oh yeah, if any resort should get 5* the Grand Mayan should get it!

PS. The water park at the Grand Mayan Nuevo Vallarta is the only pool area I've ever seen that has as much to offer at any resort. Sorry your son got hurt. I bet you can't take him to Disney either. Now THAT place really is filthy and aging! But WE still enjoy it.

Thanks for your comments. I thought I was one of the only people that was so annoyed with this woman's comments and her questionable bad experiences considering how many people must view this forum.

Thanks! B
