El Cid Riviera Maya hotels

"We had a great stay at Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort. The resort itself is very good, and we were pleasantly surprised with a VIP upgrade, which made a noticeable difference. The Family Selection beach area was especially nice — less crowded and more comfortable. Overall food quality was good, although the desserts could definitely be better. During our stay we booked three à la carte restaurants. La Paisana and Sumptuori (teppanyaki tables) were both very good. Portofino, however, was a bit disappointing. The service was good, but the food didn’t live up to what we expected from an Italian restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this resort, especially if you can get the Family Selection or VIP upgrade."

"Our stay at TRS Yucatan was truly above and beyond. Antonio and Miguel, our personal butlers, made the experience exceptional by coordinating transportation, activities, and reservations throughout our stay. I can’t imagine an all-inclusive without a personal butler now, and it’s why we’ll be choosing TRS resorts going forward. The rooms were spotless and serviced multiple times a day. The food was outstanding at every TRS restaurant, and there was so much to do that we never felt the need to leave the resort. Every staff interaction was warm and welcoming—we honestly felt like celebrities. The spa was incredible and worth every penny. We planned one visit and ended up booking a second. Drinks were well crafted and served in glassware, which we appreciated. The CHIC show exceeded expectations with a unique seven-course meal and amazing performers. We can’t wait to return!"

"The rooms were extremely clean, and room service daily. The staff very polite, the food was amazing especially dinners at night. Highly recommend this place and don’t forget to try out the late night tacos they offer."

"Very kind and welcoming hotel was amazing staff was great "

"Room was great! Always clean and restocked with grab towels, beer, water! Staff at every bar was so friendly and helped out! Food was great. Never had a bad meal anywhere. Sometimes the main course portions are a little small but just order an appetizer or soup and you’re good. They cater to you when booking through Expedia compared to other companies. You get a different colour wristband and they know to look after you. I honestly wouldn’t book through another company knowing that. "

"It includes passes to all parks which keep us busy and fun"

"Mindblown at the entire Xcaret property, hotel and parks. Was nervous about the cost but we left wishing we stayed longer. The hotel property is massive with so much to do and so many food choices. The room was clean and simple but with a wonderful view along with double hammocks and stoked snacks. Check in was simple and fast but do think something was missed along the way as we felt unprepared to tackle the enormous property with a lack of information at first from how to reserve restaurants to where the shuttles for the parks arrive. All reservation restaurants were also booked up for days in advance (our entire stay). However, none of the above was a deal breaker and we quickly got the flow with the interactive map on the app (very much needed) Overall highly recommend, just be prepared for a ton of walking and a slightly overwhelming amount of amenities and trying to find everything at first. "

"We love Secrets! Each location has the best staff, food and the property and is absolutely beautiful. "

"The entire staff works hard, but I'd especially like to highlight the work of the animators and the kids' club. You guys are AMAZING."
