Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great 👍"

Hotel Xcaret Arte - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive, Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"The staff was pretty good for most of the trip. There was a lot of people getting tours of the resort but we didnt recieve any maybe becuase we didnt upgrade our rooms? We felt lost for about two days becuase we were trying to figure where everything was. The resorts signs for direction as well as the map were not helpful. They didnt have any activities to do during the night, a lot of resorts have a show or a gathering area for an activity during the vening but there was nothing to do other than go to the speak easy or to one of the restaurants that acted as a bar."

Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The property was well maintained, easily walkable, and had great food choices. The Club Level suite/bar had awesome drinks and a great variety of light bites. Christian, our butler, was very knowledgeable and made everything an easy process. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!"
