Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was amazing. The staff was excellent. Lucas, Javier and Maria were simply the best. They are at Spice buffet. Only negative I can even say is the housekeeping. The bed was always made but we never knew if we would have washcloths or how many. Bathroom floor never seemed swept but all in all we were very pleased with the our stay!!"

El Taj Oceanfront & Beachside Condo Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Starting with the good… housekeeping was fantastic and we loved how walkable the neighborhood was surrounding the hotel. We felt safe walking around with our family of 4 and enjoyed the 2 different pools. The gardens were beautiful and the pet turtle in the pond was a favorite for the children. Now the negative… the beach is completely trashed by sargassum (brown seaweed) and the resulting smell is horrible. From the moment you step out of your taxi to every time you open your front door, you are assaulted by the rotting smell of the decomposing piles of sargassum that sit along this section of the beach. Due to the nature of the shoreline, it accumulates really bad in front of this hotel, so don’t count on eating at the beachside restaurant or enjoying time on the beach if you come during the summer months. I recognize that sargassum is a problem over the summer months along all of the Maya Riviera, but other hotels along Playa seem to be able to manage the sargassum better than this particular location. In our particular unit, the washer didn’t work and we had to keep prompting the staff to get maintenance to fix it. Every time we called, they acted like they were surprised about the situation. It finally got fixed half way through the stay. Then 2 out of the 4 TVs in our 3 bedroom condo didn’t work, and the AC in the one bedroom needed fixed. The elevator on the south set of beachfront condos didn’t work the whole week we were there."

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the superior loft unit very much. The property amenities were awesome as well as the location. We had a few glitches though. The futon in our room was broken and we had to prop it up with a backpack. Ran out of bathroom tissue and was told there would be none available until the next day at 9am. Obviously we got our own;) Ultimately the front desk staff is pleasant but basically powerless to help with much. More of a condo with a reception. All in all it was everything we needed."
