Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful getaway at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya! We had a fantastic stay at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya! Our room was clean, comfortable, and a welcoming place to relax after enjoying the resort. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our vacation. The pool was a highlight—a beautiful setting to unwind and enjoy the sunshine. We especially loved the swim-up bar, where we could enjoy a refreshing drink without leaving the water. It added such a fun touch to our stay! For travelers looking for an adults-only, all-inclusive getaway with a beautiful pool, clean accommodations, and wonderful service, we highly recommend Valentin. We left with great memories and would happily return!"

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and nice resort! We liked it. Recommend to stay here if you’re planing. The only thing that you should be aware of as of today is undergoing construction, but it’s not that bad as some people say. Food: excellent (for a resort it’s actually good, but it’s not your fancy food from your favorite restaurant, but it’s definitely taste good, no problem with that at all, plenty of options) Rooms: they clean it good, and everything works had no issues with that. Pool: bring pool shoes, it’s definitely 2 out of 5, they need to remodel/restore it, because oh man it’s scratchy and dirty (mostly sand from the beach, and dead bugs). But water activities are fun and they like every hour or so, it was fun playing pool volleyball. Ocean: as of October 26 it had a lot of seagrass and dirty, NOT swimmable. They were cleaning it regularly every day, but nature is nature what can you do! So if you go here for beach it’s definitely NOT THE BEST TIME TO GO. Stuff: excellent, just excellent, no need for more comments. Thank you everyone. Spa: it’s all right, on my opinion it’s not worth it, also it’s too expensive. Anyways, we liked it, even thought there was construction, seagrass and not the best pools. That’s your main concerns before you book it. Thank you everyone who made it feel special, it was good vacation."

Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Loved the place. Needs some deep cleaning since everything is white you can see all the stains. But everything else is clean. The staff is nice, good food, nice drinks, fun family activities. The guys who want to sell the membership can really harass you even after saying no. That is the only thing that I can really complain about. Everything else was amazing."

"Hotel is clean and well maintained. The shows they provied for entertainment is one of the best ive seen. Their is plenty of food options( I recomend mexican night). The stage they have and entertainment they provide is wonderful. The staff is friendly, anyone who passes you greets you. If you get a room at the far right entrance you have to wait for the trans to take you, but be mindful that they say the trans starts service at 7 and they dont. Just in case you have to rush for a tour in the morning. I think they did not expect to have alot of tourist and they were under staffed. The waiters at the restaurants took along time to attend to us and never came back for more drinks. Overall its a good experiance ,"
