My wife, & I stay at The Edition Riviera Maya this past weekend for her birthday. The property was gorgeous, although the weather wasn’t. Unfortunately, it’s still the end of the hurricane season in Mexico. Thank God, we did get some sunshine though. The place is gorgeous! Every single person was warm, & kind to us. The prices for food, & drinks were expensive, be prepared! I believe they also said that they were holding $450 a night on my credit card, which I thought was unusually high, but I...

Palmaïa-The House of AïA: All Inclusive Wellness Resort

10/10 Excellent

This property continues to hit way above it's benchmark, at least in terms of the deal I found. Service, accommodations, amenities, food, the entire experience is superb. Out of 5 stars, though, I'd deduct 1/2 star for the unhappy increase in the club or lounge music around the property. The 2-3 hour daily set at the bar is tolerable, especially if your room is removed from that area. The music at the general restaurant on the other hand has gotten louder, and installing the DJ every other...

10/10 Excellent

When the only complaint you can have about a place is that they are almost TOO attentive, then you are really staying at a true 5 star place. Everything here is first class and it is truly a very different experience from the typical Playa all inclusive places. First off, the grounds are beautiful. We stayed in a lagoon suite and to sit out on the deck and hear a myriad of birds singing and watch fish, turtles, (and crocs!) swim by was really a great experience. Almost feels like being...

We stayed at Secrets Maroma for 7 nights and to say we had a great time is an understatement! We did stay in the Perferred Club Junior Suite Ocean View, building 16, and the view of resort and ocean was great! From the moment we arrived and until we departed, the service is outstanding throughout the resort-from the wait staff, bar tenders, front desk, and especially our conceirge-Emmanuel! Emmanuel was excellent- and took care of all our needs when needed! The food at all restaurants was...

Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya

Maroma

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property. The Belmond Maroma is a small hotel set in a lush tropical garden along the beach. The common areas are gorgeous and the rooms are private and quiet. There are several serene pools and great seating & umbrellas on the beach. The staff are wonderful - friendly and helpful. The breakfast is divine and dinners excellent. The only downside is the seaweed on the beach which is an issue all along the Yucatan coast. The hotel rakes the beach clean each morning.

Technically this wasn't a vacation, it was our honeymoon. I found this place on some Google list of top 10 most romantic honeymoon spots and it did not dissapoint. The grounds are beautiful. The staffs mission in life is to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. And it's not just for tips either, it's genuine. Whether you want to do nothing or everything, you will be pleased. We just got back and are already planning a return trip. The rooms are VERY private, no noise from other...

The property has a truly exceptional staff. From the moment you arrive, you receive a warm and welcoming experience, especially from the concierge team assigned to your room. We had the pleasure of having Alan and Ana assist us during our stay, and they were extremely helpful, polite, and attentive. We traveled with our two children, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and welcome. They gave our kids the attention and assistance they needed and made sure...

This was our second time there and we love it. So quiet, luxurious, attentive and serene. Aldo is an amazing head of butlers and is top notch. We miss our folks from the last time but he was still there and took great care of us. Seaweed is a concern for this whole carribean/gulf region but they work hard to control it. The seaweed was better this year. Likely environmental. You can't go wrong if you wave to relax and have peace. We are young there and we are mid 40's. Average age is...

Stayed at the Zen resort. Great welcoming environment. Relaxing. pampered. Spa too expensive for what they offer, though. Excellent restaurants, although food somewhat scant in some of them (Piaff and, De Autor). Quality of drinks intermediate. Beaches resorts with excellent infinity pool and wet bar. Azul and Lucca best places to eat. Watch out at Piaf restaurant with sommelier trying to have you choose from an expensive list of wines not included in the "all inclusive". "All...

I recently stayed at this beautiful resort that offers exceptional service and a range of dining options. As a foodie, I tried most of the restaurants and found the meals to be good overall. The Lobster House was my favorite, as it served outstanding breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Kitchen Table offered a breakfast buffet with plenty of delicious options for everyone. Chez Isabella provided a great dinner experience, while Oregano's lunch menu hit the spot for me. Basmati had a nice ambiance,...

absolutely amazing! my wife and I booked this trip last minute and were hesitant as this is an all inclusive resort. we've stayed at several resorts all around the world and this is one of the BEST to date. The property and architecture is truly breathtaking. The people are so humble and kind, the restaurants are basically mini michelin start pop ups. You never have the feeling that you are at an inclusive, the exact opposite. This is an extremely special property and we hope to come back very...

Spent a couple of nights at this hotel. It was very nice, super clean and new, great amenities, loved the decor, had a nice ocean view on the fifth floor. Location was great, walking distance to fifth avenue and restaurants and shops. Ate breakfast at the hotel, their chilaquiles were excellent! I would not hesitate to stay here again for a convenient short stay and would definitely recommend to others. The front desk staff and restaurant staff were all great!

The service at the Viceroy is out of this world, every time we thought it couldn't get any better it did. I have extensive allergy issues and the chef and wait staff went so far out of their way to ensure I was well fed! The one downside was the bed was not all that comfortable but the rooms were large and clean and the private pool was to die for. The room service was terrible, as it is at most hotels, but the food at the restaurants was the best I've ever had and eating dinner on the beach...
