Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing. The staff was really nice very kind very attentive. Definitely recommend this place."

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Solo birthday trip , staff was super friendly , rooms are very nice and updated , smart tv in the room . One downside is room service. If not platinum services room service is not included , splurged one night because I was tired and was not worth it lol better to muster some energy and head to the sports bar for late night munchies . Food is mid tier . Will find some gems in the buffet but some food is bland. Other than that I had a very few relaxing days and enjoyed the service ."

Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome experience this is the second time we have been here Food is fantastic the service impeccable beautiful resort I do think it needs a refresh in some areas Pool tiles It’s an older property but still clean and so friendly ❤️"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The location was absolutely perfect — just steps from a beautiful stretch of beach and an easy walk into the city where all the shops, bars, and nightlife are. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The hotel itself is modern, chic, and welcoming. Our room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The only small downside was the courtesy beach bags; despite asking several times, we didn’t receive them until the day before departure. The restaurant options were great, and even with two venues closed, we still enjoyed fantastic meals throughout our stay. Overall, the resort exceeded my expectations. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning."
