Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews
Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"There's plenty to see, between all the different paths to walk and all the animals scattered throughout the resort, monkeys swinging through the trees, iguanas roaming the paths, couatis popping out of the bushes. The only bad thing I'd say only pertains if you book the Royal Level, the restaurant in the royal level gets a bit old with its limited menu. When my wife and I visited back in 2024 their menu rotated themes on a daily basis, but this time we were there for 10 days and it was the same menu the whole time. The creme brulee is amazing for dessert though, best dessert on the menu."
Catalonia Royal Tulum Adults Only - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"The hotel is very well maintained, the room is spacious and comfortable, the staff is extremely helpful, and the setting is really pleasant. A beautiful forest runs through the middle of the property, with paths connecting the lobby, rooms, and beach. It's not a large resort, which makes it easy to walk everywhere, although this can also be a drawback if you enjoy exploring a larger property with more grounds and facilities. I recently stayed at a bigger resort and, even though we were in the adults-only section, we enjoyed having the option to explore the rest of the property as well. The evening entertainment was very good, especially the Mariachi show. The beach was another highlight, with beautiful, clear, warm water, plenty of shade from the palm trees, and no trouble finding beach chairs. On the other hand, we found the restaurants just average, and the pool activities could have been better. The resort also lacks indoor entertainment options for rainy days, such as a game room or other activities that would give guests something to do when the weather doesn't cooperate. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. It's a lovely, well-kept resort with a beautiful setting and an excellent beach, despite a few areas that could use improvement."
Bahia Principe Explore Tulum - Hyatt Inclusive Collection - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"Staff were very friendly at this resort. The reservation system for the à la cartes was great because it was online but it was difficult to book them because it always showed they were full."
El Dorado Seaside Suites Oceanfront, All & More Inclusive - Adults Only - All inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Way better than expected! Felt like a luxury resort. Great food and amazing service."
Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"We had a great stay at Grand Palladium in Cancun. We were able to move between all resorts on the property. To book restaurants we had to be shuttled between resorts. Restaurants were only available on certain nights. Lots of walking to get around. We stayed in villa 47. The room was very nice. On the 4th floor, no elevators only stairs. Our room could have had more dressers, or luggage stands, to get out clothes off the floor. The pools were beautiful. We liked spending time at adults only TRS. Great mixologists and food. The secret adult pool had a monkey that would come and hang out with us. Thank you very much staff for the great stay!"
Barceló Maya Riviera - Adults Only - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Barceló Maya Riviera Adults Only and would absolutely return! The grounds are exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the beach is beautiful, clean and nicely groomed. The resort has a very relaxed, quiet atmosphere, which we really appreciated. Although there aren’t beach umbrellas, the palm trees provide plenty of natural shade. The food was honestly one of the biggest highlights of our stay. Every meal we had was amazing, and we never had a bad one. A special mention goes to Agave, which we visited three times, once for regular dining and twice for the taco bar. The taco bar was absolutely delicious and ended up being one of our favourite dining experiences of the trip. Overall, a fantastic resort with beautiful grounds, excellent food, a peaceful atmosphere and outstanding staff. We had such a great vacation and would happily return!"
