Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Very nice and clean. I was there in a low season so few people and lots of rain. Rooms look new with digital controls. 24 hour drinks and food. The only problem is for smokers, few places to smoke so you have to really walk looking for one. The employees and guests who were there before told me that you could smoke in the bar before and other places before, it’s like being back in NY."

Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Devossion. The architecture is stunning very sleek, minimalist and full of natural light. Our suite was spacious and beautifully designed, complete with a rainfall shower and a fully stocked minibar plus plunge pool. The service here is where the resort truly shines. The staff are incredibly attentive, whether bringing fresh towels to your poolside cabana or mixing excellent cocktails. The food is very good for an all-inclusive and we loved that no reservations were required for the standard restaurants. Also, while the infinity pools are pristine, the beach itself can be hit-or-miss with seaweed and odor depending on the currents."
