Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The check in process was very challenging, as were the limited availability of the restaurants."

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Very nice and clean. I was there in a low season so few people and lots of rain. Rooms look new with digital controls. 24 hour drinks and food. The only problem is for smokers, few places to smoke so you have to really walk looking for one. The employees and guests who were there before told me that you could smoke in the bar before and other places before, it’s like being back in NY."

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is excellent! All the staff are professional, friendly, and trustworthy. The food is delicious, and the service is outstanding. I highly recommend this resort to everyone. If you stay here, you will not regret it! Come, relax, have fun, and enjoy an unforgettable experience!!!"

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya - An Adults Only All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I didn't realize the property didn't have a beach. Guess I didn't read the description well enough. You can access the sea via wooden steps, but there's no beach, which was a disappointment. The pools were excellent."
