8/10 Good
"This was my 3rd stay at Viva Maya. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, room was comfortable and the workers were helpful. Our biggest complaint was having no AC in any of the restaurants. The buffet was so hot it was unbearable to eat there. The only place to get a reprieve from the August heat was to be in our room. The resort kept the beach clean everyday but to no fault of their own, the water was so brown it was not swimable. The main pool was also too warm to swim in. It was not refreshing. It is now drained and under sonsruction so hopefully they are adding a cooling system like there is at the adult pool. The Adult pool is the main reason we keep coming back. Would definitely stay here again."

"Sunset Fisherman is the best kept secret in Playa del Carmen/Playacar Phase 1. The beachfront property is awesome, tucked away, secluded, serves great food, has excellent staff who go out of their way to remember your name every time you visit and assist you with everything you could possibly need or want. It’s not super fancy but the resort makes up for it by offering free kayaking, catamaran rides, activities, and a general sense of warmth & welcome as. Just always feel at home here!"
