Looming for a recommendation for a safe resort in Mexico for a girls trip. Must have blue water, white sand, beach free from seaweed/algae build up, delicious food & great service. Thank you !

Go to Cabo... I walked around the city by my self at all times of the day... no problem

Go to Cabo jacks... so much fun!! Say hi to Charlie for me!!

Riu Cabo Baja California...brand new resort..I just came back...Awesome resort close to Los Cabo!

but you cant swim in the ocean in Cabo - too much undercurrent

The Barcelo hotels on the Riviera Maya south of Cancún are great! Close to the Mayan ruins at Tulum and Playa del Carmen for shopping.

I’m actually at the Grand Sunset Princess right now. It’s pretty great! The Barcelo in Riviera Maya is really nice too.
FYI you probably won’t find a white sand beach free from seaweed in Mexico. If you want really nice beaches (but lesser food quality), Cuba is a great option!

Dani Nicole Sanford just got back from there ! I really liked it

I was there earlier this month.
Beautiful resort. Meh food.
Platinum upgrade is a must.
Beach was so so.

Puerto Vallarta has some great hotels and no seaweed. Hyatt Ziva we just came back from the ocean water was a little cold - but give it a few weeks would probably be warmer
. The restaurants were great and its a 10 minute taxi or Uber ride to P.V. Romance district which is filled with music and restaurants and all sorts of activities. The hotels offer 5 different restaurants as well activities through out the day and evening

Geri but the waters not blue- you need to go to the Mayan side for blue water- white beaches but you might get the algae bloom

Andrea that is true but it is lots of fun to play in
. And actually when we were at the Iberostar Nuevo Vallarta it was a lovely beach to play in as well

And we love the Riu Vallarta in Riviera Nayarit- have been there twice for girls weeks!

Yeah make sure you check the seaweed issue out in Mayan Riviera. The week we got there our resort got hit and NO blue water
it looked like the pacific. First time this has happened. Not all beaches are affected

We loved club marival in Nuevo Vallarta

Grande Principe Tulum, 1/2 hr south of Cancun

Awesomest boutique hotel in Progreso.
The-Mayan-Gypsy east end of the Malecon.

Isla Mujeres! Beautiful safe island

I second Isla Mujeres. Great little island. Lots to do and fantastic food!

Isla Mujeres is also supposed to be not as affected by seaweed either.

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, Mexico - the best.

Tulum

San Jose del Cabo!

I just returned from Manzanillo. Pacific side, so not exactly blue water/white beaches. You’ll need to go to the Carib side. We stayed at Las Hadas by Brisas. LOVED the resort and the staff. It’s older, but still has a grand/luxurious feel. Some scenes from the movie ‘10’ with Bo Derek were filmed here. I’m not one to stay put at a resort, preferring instead to travel into town. But I loved the resort so much, that I didn’t feel I had the need. I don’t think there’s much in Manz anyways. The staff were amazing and very service-oriented, and the food delicious. Their Lagazpi restaurant is rated 4-diamond by AAA. Water was a bit cooler, and beach is smaller & black volcanic sand.

Also, our little Bay was okay. But there was MAJOR red tide on the other side of the peninsula, in front of Tesoro.

Rui Mayan Mexico in Playacar was great- but there was some seaweed, Barcelo Maya Tropical is our favourite- but there’s been a lot of concerts there lately and that brings in a whole different element of drugs and safety.

Tulum and Isla Mujeres

Hyatt Zilara Cancun (formerly the Royal Cancun). Adults only. (Was) 5-star rated. Great food.

Pretty much every right in maya riviera right now has a seaweed buildup. Pacific side is better for that , but the water isn’t as nice

Privilege Aluxes in Isla Mujeres was amazing for a girls vacay!

Barcelo is our favourite in the Mayan Rivieria. We’ve been twice. Beautiful water and definitely the beach is free of seaweed. Have been with two kids and they loved it.

iberostar paraiso Maya

We were there in February. No seaweed. Fun, safe, great food, great staff and tons to do, if you want (yoga, Pilates, aquafit, tennis, cycle etc)

i second that! rent a golf cart and tour the island!

Grand sirenis

I liked the Grand sirens, but if you really want to treat yourselves the Grande residences in Peurto Morelos is the absolute bomb

We just spent ten days in SAN José del Cabo. Not great for swimming but the most amazing beaches for walking. There are swimmable beaches you can go to. We felt safer than we have on either side of the mainland and the artisans in San José are amazing.

Azul fives

I agree with one thing. Pacific side is seaweed free, plus, weather is much more reliable. Downside is the sand is a bit more coarse and the water is a darker blue, not that nice turquoise blue.
PV and and Mazatlan are swimmable beaches, Cabo not so much. All 3 have great nightlife. All beaches in Cancun and Mayan are swimmable. Nightlife good in Cancun and Playa, but many resorts in Playa are far away from city centers. It's really a matter of what's more important to you.

The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun our favourite place to go.

I’m current at the Tucan Iberostar in playacar. You are definitely not going to find a seaweed free beach anywhere in the riviera maya . Some are just better than others at cleaning it. The beach at the Tucan is huge and they do a great job. I would totally recommend it. Anywhere in playacar is nice actually - the beach here is very deep from hotel to water edge. Some places here you don’t have much at all due to beach erosion.

Jacqui thanks !

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort, we book using Westjet Vacations.

Karen not seaweed free. As well the last two times we have gone there , the WestJet flight and hotel was $1,000 a COUPLE cheaper to book through Expedia . Same flights , rooms

Prices fluctuate, so find your best price! We didn't come across any seaweed when we were there, but I know the East Coast has a constant battle to clear it.

If i could recommend one place in particular, it would be the Hyatt Ziva Cabo. 5+ resort at a really reasonable price. Lower than some 4 stars. Reviews are very good.

Dante except you really don't want to venture into that ocean, there.

Jason i know and i agree. Ive been to pretty much every resort area in Mexico, and although swimming in the ocean is nice, i didn't do it often and its not my #1 deciding factor in where i go. Like i said, depends on what's important to you.

Dante Wife and I stayed here a few years ago. Loved the property. Enjoyed walking into San Jose del Cabo. Enjoyed the food. We knew in advance that the ocean wasn't swimmable, too.

Barcelona grand maya resort riviera Mayan!!! So amazing and the kids club was fantastic

Azul Ixtapa Grand, Ixtapa is a great little city
