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

10/10 Excellent

"BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY. We truly enjoyed"

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Came here for a solo bday trip. The staff were really attentive and helpful throughout the stay. Often calling to see if I needed anything in the room or at all. The resort was well-maintained and the pools were clean. I had the swim-up room and loved it. The waitress even passed by a few times so I was able to have my drinks at my swim-up patio. Room was very clean. The tub was immaculately clean and deep so I enjoyed a couple soaks in it. Food: Okay unfortunately food experience overall 6/10. I enjoyed the buffets more than the reserved restaurants. There were a couple of the AL la carte restaurants where each dish i received was just not good at all. Big resort, but they have a golf cart that runs every 10 mins, which was an amazing courtesy. They made sure to offer entertainment every night, but it left a bit to be desired. Overall it was a great stay at a beautiful resort with amazing staff. I would recommend."

Sandos Playacar All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Hotel is clean and well maintained. The shows they provied for entertainment is one of the best ive seen. Their is plenty of food options( I recomend mexican night). The stage they have and entertainment they provide is wonderful. The staff is friendly, anyone who passes you greets you. If you get a room at the far right entrance you have to wait for the trans to take you, but be mindful that they say the trans starts service at 7 and they dont. Just in case you have to rush for a tour in the morning. I think they did not expect to have alot of tourist and they were under staffed. The waiters at the restaurants took along time to attend to us and never came back for more drinks. Overall its a good experiance ,"

"Very beautiful property, staff was amazing, pools were clean, food was amazing!!! Only thing that I should have told someone was at breakfast the machine that had milk in it, did not get the milk cold, it was Luke warm or room temperature?? Machine was probably broken?? Other than that the resort was outstanding."

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"So conveniently located close to the mall, the Avenida, the church. Resort is smaller compared to the ones we’ve visited in the past, but we like how it’s quiet, laid back and not too overwhelming. Food is so good esp in the Asiana restaurant. Also love how big the rooms are with its own hot tub. Server Joseph in the Mexican restaurant and Sergio in the Spice buffet stood out for us. Very helpful and hardworking. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will definitely consider coming back if we head out again this way"
