Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Dinner reservations are a bit difficult and very hard to get in there’s no app to book you have to get up at 7am in the morning to walk down and try to reserve . Not fun when you’re on vacation. And there’s really no good bars to go have drinks that are open during the day except pool bars. If the made it easier to make dinner reservations I would have loved this resort."

Blue Diamond Wellness Resort – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Our room with our private pool was amazing, spacious and clean. The bed was not as comfortable as I expected and I would have liked the lighting in the bathroom to be brighter. The spa was an amazing space but there were dead bugs everywhere, maybe a little maintenance before aging the amazing rooms might be a good idea. But overall a good vacation."
