"Nice stay but the food was 7/10. Only stayed here to enjoy Xcaret Park but I’ve had better experiences in other resorts"

"I like that it was family friendly and not too rowdy. Every person that worked there took their job seriously and was so very nice. The guest services took the time to get to know you and create an experience just for you. I will most definitely be back"

"We love vacationing on the Yucatan Peninsula over the last 15 years. We have stayed at several different resorts, condos, and even an ocean-front villa, but the Princess resort is by far our favorite. We've stayed at the Princess once or twice a year over the last 5 years, and brought family members to enjoy to resort with us. The resort has been doing some needed renovations over the last year and the updated rooms are beautiful. Our only disappointment with the new rooms is they removed the Jacuzzi tubs, which was one of our favorite perks, and replaced them with a nice looking but small bathtub. They also remodeled the restaurants and improved the dining options and experiences. They have several chefs available to cook to order food at the evening buffet. And the staff is always very helpful. We want to thank Francisco, Roberto, Lorenzo, Beatriz, and Angel for making all of our meals a wonderful experience, and also our favorite tram driver Bernie for his excellent service. The only other thing that could have made our vacation better was the beach conditions. The sargassum was really bad, and was piled up in big stinky mounds, so we didn't spend anytime at the beach. I don't know if it's possible for the resort to do something to improve that, but we spent our time enjoying the pools instead. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back to the Princess!"

"Third floor pool was the only swim up bar. It had a film in the back right corner that we had to constantly stay away from or move to the filter. There was a dead lizard at the bottom of the pool at one point. Not sure how often they clean it. Bali beds are an up charge even afternoon when they haven’t been used and it’s with items (lobster dinner and tequila) that we wouldn’t have wanted. No info given regarding restaurants days open, times or that majority needed reservations at check in. AC broke in room 2x after being moved. Food was delicious. Don’t get a room by the pool- if you want to nap or go to bed early, The stairs hinder housekeeping and in the AM you hear them pulling or pushing carts up or down stairs in the hall. It wasn’t the most relaxing, but we enjoyed it and maneuvered around issues that didn’t work for us to make the best. Overall it was close to 5th Ave- something we’d never done and it was a new experience! Some staff weren’t the friendliest or helpful. Daily entertainment lacked but again gor the mo ey it was a good resort. "
