Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Ventus Ha at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The property itself is beautiful, with lovely scenery, wildlife, and pools. Unfortunately, the beach, as many reviews mention, isn’t worth the trip. The food was some of the better I’ve had at an all-inclusive, but the service from check-in to check-out was disappointing. Except for the wait staff they were amazing. The concierge service especially needs improvement. I felt confused and uninformed even before arriving. Since I was traveling with my 11-month-old twins and mother-in-law, I called a week ahead to arrange dinner reservations after reading that restaurants book quickly. I was told they would reserve one of my restaurant choices and that I could make the rest upon arrival. No reservation was actually made, and once we checked in, it was extremely difficult to get dinner reservations for the week. Once we arrived, we received very little information about the resort, no welcome package or guidance. I also upgraded to a presidential suite because our original rooms were far apart, but the rooms were not very clean which remained an issue throughout the stay. The next morning, I received a call apologizing for the missing welcome package and was told one would be waiting at the lobby. When I went to retrieve it, the staff had no idea what I was referring to. Overall, the property has a lot of potential, but the service, communication, and organization need significant improvement."

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hotel was older hotel and needed some updates. Staff was very helpful and polite. They had many food choices and food was great one thing that I wish that somebody told me that there is a lot of seaweeds on the beach and beach was not accessible. They were working hard to clean it, but the seaweeds were just coming from the water. I wish that they can somehow build entertainment stage where they can fit a lot of people and be prepared for weather inclement we were at the show and he started raining and we were forced to go inside and the show was canceled. Overall, it is a great hotel and Iberostar is always one of my top choice when comes to hotels in Cancun. Thank you"

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautifully maintained, featuring a pristine beach, multiple pools, diverse dining options, and daily entertainment. A unique highlight is the on-site Maya ruins and abundant wildlife—including spider monkeys, coatis, agoutis, iguanas, tropical birds, and deer. It was incredible to experience the local culture and nature without leaving the resort. Management clearly does a fantastic job keeping operations running smoothly. We booked the Royal Level, and the upgrade was well worth it. Our room was remarkably spacious, clean and we loved having access to the exclusive amenities. A major perk was the Royal Level's private pool and French restaurant, which offered an outstanding all-inclusive menu with absolutely no reservations required. Across the rest of the resort, the buffet restaurants provided excellent variety, and we were consistently impressed by the overall food and drink quality. Above all, the staff truly makes this resort shine. They are consistently attentive, courteous, and genuinely happy to help. We appreciate everything the team did to make our family vacation a great memory and highly recommend this resort."
