Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Entire stay was amazing. Good service to rooms and pool. Great bedding and rooms!!"

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a wonderful experience. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. The only issue we encountered was that the air conditioner leaked, soaking all of our clothes. Thankfully, the hotel staff handled the situation incredibly well and washed all of our clothing at no extra charge, which we really appreciated. One of the highlights of our stay was all the wildlife around the resort. We saw monkeys, macaws, deer, raccoons, and even some of the adorable rat-like animals native to the area, which made the experience feel very unique. The food was excellent! The main buffet had a huge variety of options, and the green chilaquiles were definitely my favorite. I recommend going early in the morning since it gets very busy later on. We also had lunch one day at the oceanfront buffet, and it was fantastic—the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and it was much less crowded. Paco’s Tacos and the pizza were also both delicious. Definitely make dinner reservations ahead of time—they’re absolutely worth it. Our favorite restaurant was the Italian restaurant, and we also really enjoyed the Oriental restaurant. The steakhouse, however, wasn’t our favorite and was the only dining experience we probably wouldn’t repeat. The beach is on the smaller side, but we were lucky enough to have beautiful, crystal-clear water during our stay. Another huge perk is that Xcaret Park is literally about a five-minute walk from the hotel entrance."

Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed the weekend of July 4th, definitely off peak season (about 60% capacity I think). Our goal was a quiet vacation with lots of relaxation, and this REALLY delivered! In spite of the roasting heat, I would definitely travel again off peak, specifically to stay in a room by the golden (quiet) pool where there are abundant shady pool chairs, poolside service, and daily visits from coatis, agouti, iguanas and so many birds. There was lots of ocean seaweed that was only minimally cleared due to sea turtle nesting season, however we got to see a huge mama turtle scooting back to the ocean during a sunrise walk! The staff were SO welcoming and observant, and we loved that we could pretty much keep to ourselves and not interact with other guests unless we wanted to."

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Rooms are nice and spacious . We stayed Thursday to Tuesday, in July. Staff were nice and the resort was fairly clean. Pool could have been cleaned better. Only one guy cleaned 2 massive pools in like and hour. Sometimes there were left over cups floating around. The staff at the bars were nice but the alcohol was terrible. They showed premium brands but did not taste like it and were watered down. The food at the buffet started out amazing and lots of options, but as the week went on the selection had got smaller and smaller. For the resort only being booked at maybe 40% we couldn't even get into the a'lacarte restaurants. I couldn't imagine in the winter. The resort always has staff pestering you to go on excursions and join there membership program, and they are everywhere. The resort is also located 50 min from the cancun airport so be prepared to pay $80 usd each way. I would say that it was OK for the price."

Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice and welcome. The hotel was nice and clean . Its much to do . I loved the foam party as well as the fire 🔥 show that had everything was so beautiful very romantic. Me and boyfriend had a blast. We will be coming back soon."

Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Although the beach was not swimmable due to the sargassum, the beach sand white and soft and walkable. The resort had nightly entertainment, including the World Cup games! The food was very tasty and there was a great selection! The resort was clean and well maintained. All the employees were very friendly and polite! I would definitely recommend it."

Paradisus La Perla - Adults Only - Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been coming back to this resort every year for the past 4 years, and it never disappoints. We truly love everything about this place! The property is beautifully maintained and always spotless. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The food is excellent, with a large variety of delicious options for everyone. There are also plenty of activities to enjoy throughout the day, making every stay fun and relaxing. We always have an amazing experience here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommended!"
