Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great for Families with young children"

Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Great trip for the family. My kids love the pool. Sad that we didn’t get to enjoy the beach due to the seagassum. Another thing is that the bathrooms are not kid friendly for handicap friendly. It will like climbing a mountain to get into the tub. We definitely could have used a step stool to get into and out."

Barceló Maya Palace - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This was our 6th visit to this resort, and one of the main reasons we keep coming back is how family-oriented it is. The staff and atmosphere make it a wonderful place for families, and we've always enjoyed our stays. One thing to be aware of is that if you book through certain third-party websites, be very careful when selecting your room. We learned that booking this way can affect your eligibility for VIP or priority status, even if you're a returning guest. Unfortunately, that means you may miss out on some of the benefits that normally come with that status. It's not necessarily the resort's fault, but it's something future guests should keep in mind when making their reservation."

Barceló Maya Colonial - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing resort with beautiful grounds, countless palm trees, and incredible wildlife. Seeing iguanas and colorful birds every day made our stay even more special. The food was excellent, with plenty of delicious options for every taste. The staff was welcoming, everything was spotless and well maintained, and we can’t wait to come back!"

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This resort was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Jose, who was our waiter on several occasions, always provided warm, attentive, and exceptional service that made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and our favorite dining experience was at the Hibachi restaurant. The chef was entertaining, engaging, and made the meal a lot of fun for both the adults and the kids. There are just a few things I hope the resort considers improving in the future. The Kids Club family time is scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., which is the hottest part of the day. It might be more enjoyable for families if it were offered earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon. The buffet also closes from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. while transitioning between menus, which isn't ideal for families with younger children who may need to eat during that time. Lastly, the rooms felt a bit warm during the hottest part of the day, even with the thermostat set to 23°C. Overall, our family had a wonderful vacation. Despite these minor issues, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return."

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Hotel is very clean and pretty. Location is really good 10 min walk into the town area. Beds comfortable and the pillows are good. Shower has plenty of pressure and hot water. The barriers around the lagoon do a good job of keeping out the seaweed. Easy access to paddle boards and kayaks. Snorkelling gear is charged at $6 for 20 mins. Pools are good size with plenty of sun beds. If you want a breeze sit on the beach as you can’t feel a breeze around the pool. Lobby is open to outdoors so it’s warm and not somewhere to cool down and relax on a hot day. Appears to be a shortage of staff in some places. One man has been doing the pool bar and upper level bar which isn’t good. To get served in the pool you have to get out of the pool to go to the bar. No barman In desire at times so had to fetch someone to serve if we went in. Preferred area restaurants are closed for breakfast while we were there I didn’t check k the other meals. Firstly the restaurants are all in need of good air conditioning, especially the breakfast buffet. It is so hot in there. Never had this issue in a hotel of this class before. They are so hot and humid inside. USA 4th July night cake was stale and waiters were few and far between.food wasn’t good and was over or u cooked. The Wednesday it was buffet only no restaurants. We didn’t go and went out to eat after the July 4 buffet. Food in buffet I would say 2/5 at best. Lacks flavour, under or over cooked and some of it is dry."

10/10 Excellent

"Nice resort. Small. Only four restaurants so if you are there for many nights you may get bored with the cuisine. Good was good except for the steak house. After a good rain the rooms smell musty and like sewer. We stayed in the closest building to the pool. Easy walk to the pool and beach. The beach was nice. We went during seaweed season so there was a lot of seaweed daily on the beach. The staff worked night and day to try to clear it. The staff was exceptional. Kind, friendly and helpful. The shows at night were fantastic too. Actual performances, dancing singing acrobatics … not just lip synch. The drinks were good. Not serving any alcohol until 10 am so no mimosas with breakfast. Overall, I would recommend. I think most places in Mexico have sort of a musty smell. Not nearly as bad as our last trip to Mexico at a Princess resort."

"The service and hotel were amzing ! We get there and Elizebeth greats us with a smile and she were drained and shots for me and my family. And than after the check in she introduced us to Alfred or personal concierge for our entire stay! Alfred was amazing. We got there and he’s like let me show you guys where the restaurant is because I know you guys are hungry as we’re walking. He’s explaining the hotel he explains. He’s our private concierge as well. He explains on the way that we could go go with him or we could stop at his desk and look at the restaurant options. He already had taken the privilege of booking the overall best restaurants at the resort we actually stood with hair recommendations. His recommendations were on point. I can’t say how much Alfred was there for us every morning he greeted us for breakfast anytime he seen us. He wanted to make sure we were OK that there was nothing that was missing from my room or any of that as well. He did help us set up our excursions as well that same day he got everything set up for us and we’re set for the entire week. He was in fishing. He was courteous and my true honest opinion is he provided over the top service for the hotel and the whole staff was amazing all the staff was great so I can’t say more and I do give this hotel a high 10 because the little touches that they provided for us was amazing. Thank you."
