We did NOT do the "inclusive" option so paid for dinner at the buffet and it was very mid. But--a good location for a night or two en route to elsewhere for us. ##### Victoria Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### karen 31 Dec 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Nice hotel but noisy rooms all night and early in morning, couldn’t sleep well. Buffet food not very good and very limited. Grounds are beautiful and beach is beautiful! ##### karen Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MALCOLM 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms were everything we needed, the staff and restaurants were great, the beach was spectacular, the water was warm and clean and no coral or rocks, my wife loved her massages, all in all a fantastic place. Evening entertainment was a bit lacking and they could use a bit more variety for lunches. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6c09f22e-82a7-400f-9c91-9c5c67c4fbe9-1764439630111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0feb2668-30b8-4257-850c-e1316096f0fe-1764439631087.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Flintstones work out](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f286de7e-0ddb-4b65-8fe3-ee2df2f5d2fc-1764439635291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b838de06-69b6-453e-ad23-070a8c5ef650-1764439633506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MALCOLM Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole 29 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities My only major complaint was the food. The selection was really not that great and the quality was average. We stayed at the Reef Coco Beach in March and they by far had a better selection and quality of food. Another complaint was that we were not allowed to sit in the hot tub with our all inclusive package, it was not that way at the Coco beach resort. The beach was beautiful, clean rooms, and atmosphere with the jungle was great. I will revisit the Coco Beach resort but not the Playacar. ##### Nicole Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Juan Pablo 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice hotel.

In my opinion, not good food, buffet flavor average, not much variety. Sadly, not the same teeatment for hispanic guests than others.. ##### Sergio Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Overall the property was fine. Grounds were clean and rooms were cleaned daily. However, bar service was subpar. Bartenders gave preference to those leaving extra tips. I lost a pair of Tiffany shades in the buffet's restroom. The staff claimed a guest did find them and it was the guest's responsibility to return them to lost and found. There was no food/drink service at the beach. You have to walk to the bar and snack bar to order and then carry your food and drinks back to the beach. Limited food options at the buffet and most were not great. Food at Mexican restaurant was great. Italian restaurant was okay. ##### Maria Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Yumi 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our first time staying at an all-inclusive. We came down to Mexico for dental work. I wouldn’t say this place is five stars but we liked it because it was small but it had everything we needed it. Two wonderful pools, a beautiful beach with lounge, chairs, and umbrellas! The two à la carte restaurants were OK. The buffet is outstanding. It’s really good. The rooms were also very clean and I didn’t feel that they were old. We are very comfortable here and the staff was very friendly. I think this is a great place to bring a large family, kids, couples or if you’re traveling by yourself. ##### Yumi Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Secrets The Vine Cancun -
