Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Barceló Maya Palace - All Inclusive

Barceló Maya Palace - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"It's our 3rd time there. Place is always amazing. We keep going back, because we always try to find somewhere to go and look all over the place and all over the Caribbean and Costa Rica and all of that stuff, and we always end up coming back to the Barcelo. The surrounding area has never-ending awesome things to do, the beach is unbeatable, and they have their own reef for snorkeling that's a few miles long. We stay at the Palace with the premium level, but the little bit extra you pay for the premium level is worth it a hundred times over"

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."

"Hotel was vey nice and clean. Restaurants were decent. My only complaint was that my TV channels were only in Spanish. Asked front desk to send someone to fix it 3 times. It wasn’t fixed until day 3 of our trip."

Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa All Inclusive

Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The rooms were clean, and the staff was very accommodating. The food was hit or miss, with some meals being better than others. One of the biggest drawbacks was the pool design. The pool was about 5’3” deep throughout, which made getting drinks from the poolside bars inconvenient. Instead of being able to walk up to the bar, you basically had to swim over. Once you got a drink, it was difficult to swim away while holding it, so most people ended up staying around the bar area. This caused the pool bars to be consistently overcrowded."

8/10 Good
"Very clean resort with many things to do. Room was very nice and air-conditioning worked great. We were upgraded to a bigger room for some reason I am not aware of but I did not complain. I always need a cool/cold room when sleeping and this definitely fit the bill. Deck was also nice too and was quite big. Restaurants were nice and clean. You definitely need to book all the restaurants in advance as they fill up quickly. The booking website could use some better work as it was hard to cancel and change reservations. Pools were nice and cleaned every morning. Beach was maintained as best as possible every morning given the bad seaweed season. The beach is not the best but you can snorkel and see many fish. On some days, there was no seaweed at all. Staff is very friendly and willing to help as much as possible. Bars were plentiful with a lot of seating. We didn't upgrade to the privileged status, but the selection was okay. Nightly shows were great and entertaining. Be sure to show up early. All in all in was a great resort. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I have been to over 30+ all-inclusive resorts throughout Central America and this was by no means in the bottom half of lower 75%. The only negative is how far it is from the airport; its about an hours drive from Cancun/airport. So if you are booking any excursions that are in Cancun or leave from Cancun, be prepared to spend at least an hour or 2 in the car."
