"Our room smelled of mildew and the guy tried to gaslight us and insist it was just the room spray. Meanwhile my 4 year daughter is gagging and covering her nose. They did end up moving us into a different room which was good. The staff were mixed— some great and some seemed put out that they had to interact with us. Food was mixed. Lots of additional expenses. Ex 15$usd for a coconut! The facility was super impressive. Kids 3 and 4 loved the play rooms."

"Garden/Pool view w/partial view of ocean. Property was beautiful & clean. Staff were wonderful. Food left something to be desired. Alcohol options left something to be desired. "

"Ocean Riviera Paradise had a magical feel to it, with so many different amenities. The staff was amazing! Our concierge Elias from Guest Services was a true Angel always available to answer our questions and make suggestions. Every resort/hotel should have an Elias on hand. I would definitely return to Ocean Riviera Resort."

"The pool was great and the swim up bar was fun. "

"It was a great vacation!! The seaweed smell was so bad!!! Seemed like it was difficult for them to clean it up. But the resort was great other than that!! Would stay there again!!"

"The staff were friendly. Overall the food was good. I expected the resort to be more lively. I wish they played more music at the bars and in common areas "

"Loved our stay here, the place is beautiful, lots of different food. The beach has lots of seaweed but the hotel had people cleaning it up. The beach was nice but it is very rocky, definitely recommend water shoes!"

"This is not the adults-only experience younger travelers might expect. The resort feels more geared toward seniors and has a very quiet, low-energy atmosphere. If you’re looking for a lively, child-free getaway, this may not be the right place for you. The food was also very disappointing. I’m not a picky eater, but the quality was far below what I would expect from a 5-star resort. I’ve stayed at 4-star resorts with much better food. To make matters worse, there was ongoing construction in two buildings — one near the main lobby and amenities, and one close to our room. We were not informed in advance and paid full price. The daily noise from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. made it hard to relax. Overall, I would not recommend staying here and suggest looking at other options."

"Room and pools were great. Staff was the worst I’ve encountered at a Mexican resort (this being our 4th trip). They constantly seemed annoyed with having to do anything. The family concierge is not useful at all. I’ve booked a similar concierge room at Palladium Kantenah last year and this is like night and day in terms of quality. We had to reach out to them on our 2nd day when it became obvious that they were not attempting to introduce themselves. We constantly had to remind them that we asked for things like ice (there are no ice machines in this resort, or at least not in the family section that we were in). They couldn’t get us any reservations other than 9pm which doesn’t work with young kids. When walking by the restaurants between 6 and 8, they were never full. Not sure why no resos are available if the restaurants are empty. Beaches were covered in sargassum, but that’s no fault of the hotel. it did however make the beach unusable. Room was big however hot tubs on balconies don’t work. You would have to fill your tub for hours to get enough water. This wasn’t just our room, we travelled with 6 other families and none worked. Some positives: pools and water park were great, buffet was good enough. Swim up bars were great and the drinks were well made. In summary, not worth upgrading to family concierge and this resort is far from 5 star. Closer to 3.5 if you want to be realistic."
