Valentin Imperial Maya

Valentin review Check in excellent. They were able to put us and my sister in law and brother in law in the same building and floor. They had us initially in separate buildings. Buffet lunch was awesome as were the margaritas. Back to lobby and whisked off to our rooms. Junior suites in building 4. Rooms are large and so so nice . Toured the property , so lush and beautiful. Had supper at Mary Tara the first day, again excellent food . Hubby had ribeye cooked perfectly , I had pork rib and red pepper soup(so good). Then it was off to the plaza for Mexican night. Good drinks and live Mexican band. Morning coffee at cafe sisal a must. Supper at Ginger the teppenyaki tables, good show and food. Weather has been perfect so far on day three. Our first visit in 2023 the French restaurant was closed for reservations, this visit we dined there and it was amazing. Beet salad, French onion soup ( lived up to all the hype), beef filet excellent. Taman Sari was disappointing. Chicken Satay was good but the Tom Yang soup was not spicy or hot. It was luke warm. The pad Thai was ok but not hot just warm. My husband’s pad Thai had barely any rice noodles and his pork rib was all bone no meat. This was a far cry from our previous 2023 visit. The Mexican restaurant was excellent, highly recommend. Italian restaurant was good enjoyed our meal. We did do the French restaurant twice it was that good. The Magic show was worth the watch. Very entertaining as was the Rock Circus show. Fire show on Sunday was entertaining. Service throughout the resort was outstanding, as was the maid service and nightly turn down service. Drinks hit and miss and cocktails not a lot of alcohol seemed to be in them. Margaritas were good , very tart but again not a lot of tequila went into them. Prosecco was very good and we both liked the Sauvignon blanc house wine. Bloody Cesar’s were excellent. Resort could benefit its patrons by providing more shade. Portable umbrellas would help. Chair game is fierce at main pool. Only downside of this resort. Beach chairs under shade no problem. Chairs and shade by silver pool can grab one after 8 am. Chairs and shade by golden pool/river good no need to rush . Sunday morning security came around one half of main pool before 7am and removed all towels and belongings They did this three times. If you weren’t with your stuff before 7am they took it . First time I have seen this happen, and I think it is a good thing to do, if your bum isn’t in your seat before 7am, then its fair game to have “your reserved towels/stuff removed. Too many chairs reserved and no one ever sat or used them. All in all we have a wonderful vacation once again at the Valentin. You won’t be disappointed if you book here.

This was my first time back to Mexico in about 10 years and I enjoyed my trip with two friends. The property was kept immaculately and the food was fantastic. You don’t need to book the restaurants which is nice and there were many options. There are multiple pools and we often stayed on the “quieter” half of the large pool. It was fun to swim over when they had activities on the go. Pool bar was great and they had a large variety of drink options. Lots of little critters to watch around the resort. Rooms are very outdated and our room had a couch that has seen much better days but it was very clean and spacious.

We had a very beautiful trip at Valentin. Very kind and friendly staff. We will be back soon to see Dora 🥰🥰

Very nice and service was very friendly. We loved Dora. Food was excellent. Could have more chairs at the pool, get there early with your towels.

Returned from our first trip to VIM yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous and maintained very well and the staff are incredibly friendly. Both the pool and the beach are great, we enjoyed both. We found there was always plenty of loungers and as long as were at the pool by 10 we could find a couple. The food was the best I have ever had at an an inclusive. Our favorite was the Asian restaurant. I am celiac and there was plenty of options and they take allergies very seriously. We also ordered room service a couple times which we found to be quite good. We will definitely return to VIM on our next vacation to Mexico.
