Résumé des avis

The overall cleanliness of the property, rooms, and grounds is highly praised, as is the beautiful, clean, and well-equipped beach. The staff is consistently described as very kind, courteous, and professional. The food is also commended for its quality and variety, particularly in the à la carte restaurants, while the hotel's ideal location and manageable size contribute to a positive experience. Although the pool is sometimes considered a bit small or the number of lounge chairs may be insufficient, this does not detract from the overall experience.

Wonderful vacation! Mexico is beautiful.
Vacance magnifique! C’est beau le mexique

The restaurants are 5-star every night. The drinks are excellent. There's a varied buffet and 5-star service. The beach is beautiful, unfortunately, the sargassum seaweed is a constant presence… But I think it's a situation beyond Mother Nature's control. They try to collect as much as possible, but it keeps coming back! I loved the beauty of the room, the cleanliness, the fact that it's a smaller hotel, and that we could use their second nearby complex for restaurants and other amenities if we wanted something bigger. Thank you for this wonderful trip! 😍☀️🇲🇽🌮

Les restaurants un 5 étoiles à tout les soirs. Des drinks de qualités.Un buffet variés et un service 5 étoiles. La plage est belle, malheureusement les sargaces sont au rendez-vous…Mais je trouve que c’est une situation hors de contrôle et de dame nature. Il essait de ramasser le plus possible, mais il en arrive tout le temps!!!J’ai aimé la beauté de la chambre, la propreté, le fait que c’est un plus petit hôtel et qu’on puisse utiliser leur deuxième complexe à proximité pour les restaurants ou autre. Si on avait envie de plus grand. Merci pour se beau voyage 😍☀️🇲🇽🌮

Mes Vacances hôtel Viva Azteca By Wyndham mai 2026
Mes Vacances hôtel Viva Azteca By Wyndham mai 2026

I'm sharing my thoughts on my week at the hotel. Honestly, I was very happy! Everything was perfect. The only minor inconvenience was the low water pressure in the rain shower, which made rinsing off the sand difficult. The restaurants were all excellent and didn't require reservations, a huge plus! There was some seaweed on the beach, but it never stopped me from swimming; the staff makes a huge effort to clean it. The pool is rather small and very hot since it's always in the sun. The entertainment was average, but keep in mind that you can go to the Maya (a 15-minute walk away) for other restaurants and pools. If the price remains as competitive as what Voyage à Rabais is offering, I'll definitely go back.

Je vous partage mon avis sur ma semaine à l'hôtel. Honnêtement, très content ! Tout était "sur la coche". Seul petit désagrément : la douche à effet pluie manquait de pression, ce qui rendait difficile le rinçage du sable. Les restaurants étaient tous excellents et sans réservation, un gros plus ! Côté plage, il y avait des algues, mais ça ne m'a jamais empêché de me baigner ; le personnel fait des efforts énormes pour nettoyer. La piscine est plutôt petite et très chaude puisqu'elle est toujours au soleil. Les spectacles étaient ordinaires, mais n'oubliez pas que vous pouvez aller au Maya (à 15 min à pied) pour d'autres restos et piscines. Si le prix reste aussi agressif que ce que Voyage à Rabais propose, j'y retourne sans hésiter.

Improvements to the à la carte restaurants would be welcome. Both the food and the decor.
Amélioration dans les resto a la carte serait bien. Bouffe et décoration

The buffet is better than the à la carte restaurants. There aren't enough chairs by the pool. The sea is fine, as you work hard to remove the sargassum seaweed. One out of every two langoustines was overcooked, which was disappointing. The staff is really friendly.

Le buffet est meilleur que les resto a la carte . Manque de chaise a la piscine. La mer rien de négatif car vous travaillé fort pour les sargasses . les langoustines 1 sur 2 qui est trop cuite c'est désolant . Le personnel est vraiment gentil .

Wonderful stay at the Azteca
Magnifique séjour à l'Azteca

A very clean little hotel, the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The à la carte restaurants, which don't require reservations, are worthy of a 5-star rating. However, I find the buffet to be less impressive than it was a few years ago! It's difficult to get coffee in the morning because I think the servers are overwhelmed, so you have to ask. The food is still quite varied, with themes several times a week. The à la carte restaurants are excellent and worthy of a 5-star rating. The fact that they don't require reservations is a plus for us. The small snack bar near the pool is really good, with pizza, crispy fries, and hot dogs and burgers made to order, which is a bonus because they don't sit on a tray for hours. They also have themed events occasionally, with a paella stand or other really great options. The evening shows are ordinary but still enjoyable. The rooms are clean, but there's a very strong musty smell, hence the need to run the dehumidifier every day. The fridge wasn't stocked with cans of liquor every day. Good cocktails and very friendly staff. So all in all, for a 4-star hotel, excellent.

Petit hôtel très propre, la végétation est magnifique partout sur le site. Les restaurants à la carte sans réservation sont dignes d'un 5 étoiles. Par contre, le buffet, je trouve qu'il est moins bon qu'il y a quelques années ! Difficile d'avoir du café le matin car je crois que les serveurs sont débordés. Donc il faut demander. Bouffe quand même assez variée avec des thèmes plusieurs fois par semaine. Les restaurants à la carte sont super bons et dignes d'un 5 étoiles. Ils sont sans réservation ce qui est un plus pour nous. Petit snack près de la piscine est vraiment bon avec de la pizza, des frites croustillantes et les hot dogs et burgers faits sur demande ce qui est un plus car ils ne trainent pas dans un plateau pendant des heures. Thème aussi à l'occasion avec un kiosque de paella, ou autres vraiment super. Petits spectacles le soir ordinaires mais biens quand même. Les chambres sont propres mais c'est une senteur d'humidité très forte d'où l'obligation de faire fonctionner le déshumidificateur à tous les jours. Odeur d'humidité très forte. Le frigidaire n'était pas rempli avec des cannettes de liqueurs à tous les jours. Bons cocktails et personnel très gentils. Donc somme toute, pour un hôtel 4 étoiles, super bien.

Information session
Séance d'information

It was stated that we were supposed to have an information session in French with an Air Canada representative, but this person didn't speak a word of French. We finally managed to find the information by talking to other travelers. Otherwise, the trip was perfect. Thank you!

Il était écrit que nous devions avoir une séance d'info en français avec une représentante air Canada mais cette personne ne parlais aucun mot français. Finalement nous avons réussi à trouver l'infos en discutant avec d'autres voyageurs. Sinon le voyage était parfait. Merci!
