Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We always have an amazing time. The only thing I hope they did was plan and switch up better meals for breakfast. But other than that, it’s a beautiful place!"

Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hotel was okay overall, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The food was disappointing at every restaurant, and the activities and entertainment were not particularly impressive. Customer service was acceptable, but nothing exceptional. Considering the many excellent resorts in the Riviera Maya, I expected a much better experience. There are definitely other hotels in the area that offer a higher level of quality and service. Overall, it was an average experience, and I believe the hotel has room for improvement."
