Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Very nice property. We enjoyed a week here. The staff was excellent apart from the bell boys. The resort is recently updated and well maintained. The beach access is mediocre but we were able to go to Cozumel and Cancun for a couple days. The buffets were okay but not the greatest. The other restaurants were much better and easy to get a reservation with the online scheduling. For the price I think this place is a great value and I would recommend them to others."
