Palmaïa-The House of AïA: All Inclusive Wellness Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is the perfect combination of a beach retreat and a wellness resort. I loved everything about my stay and will definitely return in the future!"

Royal Hideaway Playacar All Inclusive - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Royal Hideaway. The a/c in our Sunset room was not working correctly on our first night. Someone did come to fix it and it was slightly better the second night, but the room was still warm. We advised our concierge, Suncil, who upgraded us to a suite for the balance of our week. This was the only problem we had, but it was quickly rectified. Both rooms were extremely clean and this is possibly the cleanest resort we have ever stayed at, out of the 15 all inclusive trips we have made to the Caribbean. The restaurants were all delicious, with Azia and The Grill being our favorites for dinner. Lunch at The Deck was great every day with numerous buffet or menu selections. The bars were all excellent with almost every top brand liquor being available. Wish we remembered the bartenders names at Bar Allegra, but they were great. We will definitely put Royal Hideaway on our list for return visits. Thanks for a great week!"

Hotel Riu Playacar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel excelente, refeições impecáveis e nem precisamos agendar os restaurantes temáticos. Tinha de tudo e sempre em ótima qualidade. Infelizmente o salgazo impediu de usarmos o mar, porém o que não demandava de ações externas, o hotel entregou. Senti um pouco de falta de música, já que só tocava na piscina com bar para adultos. Chegamos 2h antes e autorizam nosso acesso sem qualquer dificuldade, check-in perfeito"
