Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya - An Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Small and quiet resort, perfect for the trip we wanted. Not very crowded. Excellent staff, some that i remember Gabino at the breakfast buffet, Eugenia our housekeeper, Yolanda at the spa, Jorge in the steakhouse. Just every employee we encountered was helpful and nice. I will definitely be going back."

Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 3rd Excellence Cancún resort. Second time at Riviera Cancún. We can’t say enough good things about the staff (especially Sheyla in The Kitchen and Jorge by the pool!!), and the resort itself has lots to offer. Quiet if you want it to be, fun and entertaining when you’re ready! Food allergies? Not a concern! Everyone is very in tune with your personal needs, and they will make meals work for you when they’re able. We’ll be back!!!"

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The resort was amazing. The rooms were clean and updated, nice layout. Shampoo, conditioner and body lotion were available in the room, also a hair dryer. Housekeeping was great. Property was a good layout, clean with great amenities. There activity crew were always coming around to ask if you wanted to participate in different activities, but not intrusive about it. The buffet had great food and all other restaurants had good choices that had good flavor. My favorite was the Mexican restaurant, Jose was our waiter both times and he was fantastic! If you love the beach this is not the resort for you. There is a beach but very small. They have daybeds on the beach, but water is right up to many of them. I would highly recommend this resort!"

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience here, the staff treated us like family, everything was so clean, the food was amazing, activities were all so much fun and we loved Gretel and Melissa, they were awesome and it was so hard to say goodbye to everyone, there was a particular waiter named Salmone who was exceptional. All the staff seemed to love their job and were so welcoming! Our room was always cleaned in the morning and while we were out to dinner we would come back to our room to our bed sheets folded down, night lights on and chocolate on our best stand we hope to be back some day. We also did a couples massage at the spa that was amazing and got to experience the hydrotherapy which was also so cool and relaxing!"

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"O hotel é ótimo, próximo a Quinta Avenida onde há grande comércio, ao Walmart e rodoviária. O quarto é grande e confortável, os funcionários são gentis, com um sorriso no rosto para lhe atender, dispostos a ajudar. A área de lazer é muito boa, com atividades diversas e recreação. Café da manhã com muitas opções. Tem uma cafeteria bem gostosa que fica aberta até as 23 horas. Porém, Praia del Carmen não tem mar azul"

Blue Diamond Wellness Resort – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Our room with our private pool was amazing, spacious and clean. The bed was not as comfortable as I expected and I would have liked the lighting in the bathroom to be brighter. The spa was an amazing space but there were dead bugs everywhere, maybe a little maintenance before aging the amazing rooms might be a good idea. But overall a good vacation."
