Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great time. Everyone was so nice, everything was clean, and I would highly recommend this hotel in this location. They put on great events for the guests too. We felt very safe and enjoyed the time."

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Water Park All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall a great experience with some areas for improvement. A large, well laid-out resort with many opportunities for daily/nightly activities. The nature/wildlife was great and met expectations with coatis, monkeys, agoutis, and various birds everywhere. Walking paths around the cenotes provided opportunity for peaceful seclusion. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 young children. We stayed in the Eco Family Penthouse, which was nicely laid out, and could comfortably fit a 3rd child if needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. Areas for improvement: The check-in process was unreasonably long. Reception was needing 2 (or more) staff for each party checking in, resulting in an hour long check in process. Additionally, every guest hates the timeshare soliciting conversation, especially when you first arrive, yet all the resorts do it, including this one. The a la carte restaurants were good, but opportunities were inadequate to accommodate the size of the resort. Because of this, you have to make reservations at midnight for two days in advance, otherwise you won't get a table. Lastly, the beach/ocean was awful. The decomposing seaweed makes the first 50 yards of ocean look and smell like raw sewage. This is effecting all resorts in the area and there's nothing they can do about it. Certainly is not their fault, but travelers wanting a beach/crystal clear ocean vacation should be mindful that you'll need to book an excursion or stay outside of this stretch of coastline."

Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was great! The staff were amazing and attentive. The massages at the spa were some of the best I have ever had. Getting to use the spa facilities for an additional 2 hours was so relaxing. The cenote pool is very cool. If you intend on using the lap pool, bring goggles. The eucalyptus steam room was my favorite feature in the spa. The food was delicious! The fire roll at Nami is lit, literally. The daily changing breakfast buffet has something for everyone. 5th Ave is within walking distance for fun, adventures, shopping, food and entertainment with the locals. The seaweed is abundant in the ocean which is a deterrent. It's a small resort with an intimate vibe. Overall, I highly recommend this destination. I stayed 3 nights and it was perfect."

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"My trip was wonderful. The place looked and felt clean and relaxing. There was a variety of excellent tasting food. The staff were helpful. The staff were outstanding. The pools were so pleasant for families and ones for adults only. Everything I needed was provided."

Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I recently stayed at the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya from June 28th to July 3rd, and we had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. This resort exceeded every single one of our expectations! Here are a few highlights from our stay: The Pool: Absolutely spectacular and incredibly clean. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun every day. The Staff: Simply amazing! Every single staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Their hospitality is unmatched. The Food: Excellent! Every meal was delicious, with a fantastic variety of options that kept us looking forward to every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Rooms: Spotless, beautiful, and so comfortable. Coming back to such a clean and inviting room each evening made our vacation feel truly luxurious. We cannot recommend the Valentin Imperial enough to everyone looking for the perfect Mexico getaway. We will definitely be visiting again in the future! Thank you for an incredible vacation!"
