"Great place for a vacation "

"When we arrived at the property, it was raining heavily, and nobody could help us to our building. It's far from the front desk. I asked many places and staff, but nobody could provide an umbrella. A little disappointed with the service."

"“5-Star Fraud” – Ocean Riviera Paradise ⭐ 1/5 – 5-STAR FRAUD This hotel is a complete scam. It’s advertised as a 5-star resort, but the reality is far from it. Severely understaffed, slow and disorganized service, and poor customer attention. The food is very low quality, with limited options and endless lines for everything, even the buffet. Several times we couldn’t even get into the restaurants. The beach is full of rocks and seaweed, not what you expect in Cancun. You pay for luxury and get chaos instead. Do not recommend at all. There are much better options for the same price. “Fraude de 5 estrellas” – Ocean Riviera Paradise ⭐ 1/5 – FRAUDE DE 5 ESTRELLAS Este hotel es un engaño total. Lo venden como 5 estrellas, pero la realidad es completamente diferente. Falta de personal en todas las áreas, servicio lento, desorganizado y con muy mala atención. La comida es de pésima calidad, con muy pocas opciones y colas interminables para todo, incluso para el buffet. En varias ocasiones ni siquiera pudimos entrar a los restaurantes. La playa está llena de rocas y algas, nada que ver con lo que uno espera en Cancún. Pagas por lujo y recibes una experiencia caótica. No lo recomiendo para nada. Hay opciones mucho mejores por el mismo precio. "

"everything was excellent, very happy!!"

"It is extremely diffivult to get in touch with someone for room service, for simple requests such as towels or water. It is also impossible to get a reservation at one of the restuarants that required reservations "

"Excellent staff service, clean room."

"Disappointed with Grand Princess Riviera/Sunset. Our flight was canceled, causing us to arrive a day late. We got to the resort around 1 AM, had to carry our own luggage up two flights of stairs, and were told an extra night would cost 3 times as much. Staff acted like rooms weren’t available, even though the resort was empty and under construction. We were denied both a refund and the ability to shift our dates. Guests shouldn’t have to cover costs caused by circumstances beyond their control. Hoping for a fair resolution. "

"We went with a large friend group 19 of us in total. The resort was perfect for us, everyone enjoyed it (44-68). All the staff were amazing. The resort was very clean and well maintained. The daily room refresh always made our room very clean. Within our group we did three different excursions booked through Margarita. Our group thoroughly enjoyed them. Tulum+Cenotes, Catamaran, Reef Snorkeling. The activities team is amazing. There are low energy to high energy activities. Most of our group are early risers so activates ending by 11PM was perfect for us. We enjoyed the morning tai chi, yoga, stretching with Viri; volleyball games, aquafit, crazy games with Susana, Victor and Moises and all the evening shows. The lounge chairs under netting by the beach were our go to spot in the morning. We didn't find we need to secure any early and just used them while we were there. The only area that was very busy for chairs was around the pools. Every day we enjoyed the pizza (or Tacos on Tuesday) by El Charro, it was great as a snack. The Mexicano was a favourite amongst our group. The hidden gem for food for me was the sushi bar. This is part of the Japanese restaurant and cannot be booked in advance but is walk in. It was never very busy when I was there, I'm not sure if many realized you could just walk into it. If you enjoy Sushi I would recommend checking it out. We'd start each day with a mimosa during breakfast and try the drink of the day afterwards."

"Très bel hôtel, idéalement situé, offrant un excellent équilibre entre animation et tranquillité. Selon l’emplacement de la chambre, l’ambiance peut être un peu bruyante en soirée, principalement avant 23 h (ou minuit les vendredis et samedis), mais le calme revient ensuite, ce qui permet de bien se reposer. L’hôtel est composé de deux parties distinctes : une section plus ancienne directement sur la plage, et une autre, plus moderne, située à deux blocs, en plein centre-ville. Cette configuration est un véritable atout, car elle permet de profiter à la fois de la proximité de la mer et de l’énergie urbaine. La chambre était superbe : spacieuse, très confortable et décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Le souci du détail est évident et contribue à une expérience haut de gamme. L’hôtel propose également des activités très appréciables, comme des dégustations de tequilas et de vins, qui ajoutent une vraie valeur au séjour. Côté restauration, les restaurants sont excellents, tout comme les bars, même si les prix sont élevés (comptez environ 250 pesos pour une margarita). Un point à améliorer concerne le service de navette : les indications manquent de clarté, le service n’est pas inclus dans le prix, il est compliqué à organiser et revient plus cher qu’un simple taxi, ce qui est décevant pour un établissement de ce standing. En résumé, un très bel hôtel avec de nombreux points forts — emplacement, confort, activités et gastronomie — malgré quelques ajustements nécessaires, notamment su"
