Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing."

Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice and clean. The staff was well organized and nice. We had let them know we were celebrating our honeymoon and they went the extra step to make it special by decorating our room. Although there was seaweed which is to be expected in October, the beach was still well maintained."

Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This was our second time here. We could not wait to go back because we wanted to stay in building 3 in a swim out since they go right into the main pool with the swim up bar. We sent several requests asking for building 3. Always received a response saying they have that in our notes. I know you can not always guarantee the building you request. However, the ENTIRE building 3 was closed for our entire stay. An email to let us know that we could not have our request would have been nice. It is a shame because we brought other people with us who were looking forward to these swim up rooms. We liked the food and the entertainment staff were amazing. Because of lack of communication, we most likely will not be back."
