Top Playa del Carmen Hotel Reviews

The Reef Coco Beach Resort & Spa- Optional All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This is a small property, but the staff is excellent, and the beach is beautiful, with the exception of the brown seaweed that covers much of the water in August. The biggest downside was the food. The dinner restaurants were great, but the poolside lunch options and buffets were subpar. The wait staff, however, was excellent. One thing to be aware of is that the Japanese restaurant is not included in the all-inclusive package. Apparently, there are different levels of all-inclusive packages, which we were unaware of when booking. Access to the Japanese restaurant required an upgrade, a $35-per-person, per-day additional charge, or attending a timeshare presentation. Overall, this is a great hotel, especially if you don’t mind going elsewhere for food. You’re also very close to 5th Avenue, which has plenty of excellent restaurants. Based on my experience, I would recommend skipping the all-inclusive package and eating out instead."

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent and Beautiful"

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Water Park All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Great resort overall. Service was a little slow in comparison to what we've seen elsewhere. Some of the activities that we were looking forward to were closed. They explained to us why, which is understandable, but we still felt disappointed. We would like to go back another time to really enjoy everything. The main cenote is amazing to use, especially when the temperature is hot. A lot of wildlife, but the animals are not annoying, which is awesome. Would definitely recommend 👌"

Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was top notch, clean room, friendly staff, great food, excellent restaurants breathtaking views of the ocean. My only draw back was I needed a few more stays here."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place! We had a great time!!"

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The beaches were beautiful and everything was lovely; I absolutely loved the place. The only things I didn't really like were the bathroom—which is very small—and the refrigerator, which didn't work. Also, it would be good if they offered more spicy food, because everything was bland, and the tacos were very small and upset my stomach."

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The rooms are large and very comfortable. There are seve"

Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 Recommended"
