Riviera Maya Hotel Guide - Hotels with Pool in Riviera Maya, Mexico

"amazing staff. some of the best food at an all inclusive and sprawling grounds make for nice walks"

"Very clean and beautiful beach. Great workers."

"We had a great stay at Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort. The resort itself is very good, and we were pleasantly surprised with a VIP upgrade, which made a noticeable difference. The Family Selection beach area was especially nice — less crowded and more comfortable. Overall food quality was good, although the desserts could definitely be better. During our stay we booked three à la carte restaurants. La Paisana and Sumptuori (teppanyaki tables) were both very good. Portofino, however, was a bit disappointing. The service was good, but the food didn’t live up to what we expected from an Italian restaurant. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this resort, especially if you can get the Family Selection or VIP upgrade."

"This was our fourth or fifth stay at this resort. Since our previous visit was over ten years ago, we expected some post-Covid decline in service and quality, as has been common across many mid-range resorts. We were pleasantly surprised that Bahia Principe in Riviera Maya has largely avoided this. The food remains plentiful and just as good as it was 15 years ago, and the staff is as friendly as ever. Beyond the human factor, the location is excellent, with easy access to nearby ruins in Tulum and worthwhile trips to Cobá and Chichén Itzá. Three people in particular made our stay even better. Nathaneal upgraded us to a lovely renovated room. Rosaura and Leidy stood out among an already strong buffet restaurant team for their attentiveness — from remembering our usual order to noticing when my wife missed dinner one evening and asking after her when I arrived alone (she was unwell). These gestures are small, but kind, and they add a welcome human touch to an otherwise fleeting guest–staff relationship."

"Room was great! Always clean and restocked with grab towels, beer, water! Staff at every bar was so friendly and helped out! Food was great. Never had a bad meal anywhere. Sometimes the main course portions are a little small but just order an appetizer or soup and you’re good. They cater to you when booking through Expedia compared to other companies. You get a different colour wristband and they know to look after you. I honestly wouldn’t book through another company knowing that. "

"Would definitely come back! Very large property lots of things to do"

"The entire staff works hard, but I'd especially like to highlight the work of the animators and the kids' club. You guys are AMAZING."

"Hotel Xcaret es top y súper bonito, súper recomendado. Solo sugiero reserva directa con Xcaret que por intermediario se complica logística. "

"Clean rooms, free upgrade, very nice pool areas"
