Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great place to stay!"

Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Resort, Excellent Food & Service, Massive main pool, a quiet pool and third one that’s ocean front with a swim up bar. Steps from 5th Ave. The beach is pretty much gone now in Oct 2026 , but they are revitalizing it in a few months according to the staff."

Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Me gusto mucho las personas, son bien cálidas y amables, los restaurantes estan super bien, el hotel super limpio, lo único fue la playa, estaba muy sucia y no pudimos disfrutar de el mar, tal vez la temporada estaba muy mala, pero al menos hubieran limpiado la playa para que no oliera mal ya si no te puedes meter al mar al menos puedes caminar y disfrutar los atardeceres."

Blue Diamond Wellness Resort – All Inclusive – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Our room with our private pool was amazing, spacious and clean. The bed was not as comfortable as I expected and I would have liked the lighting in the bathroom to be brighter. The spa was an amazing space but there were dead bugs everywhere, maybe a little maintenance before aging the amazing rooms might be a good idea. But overall a good vacation."
