Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"This was our second time here. We could not wait to go back because we wanted to stay in building 3 in a swim out since they go right into the main pool with the swim up bar. We sent several requests asking for building 3. Always received a response saying they have that in our notes. I know you can not always guarantee the building you request. However, the ENTIRE building 3 was closed for our entire stay. An email to let us know that we could not have our request would have been nice. It is a shame because we brought other people with us who were looking forward to these swim up rooms. We liked the food and the entertainment staff were amazing. Because of lack of communication, we most likely will not be back."

10/10 Excellent
"The resort was beautiful, the service was the best I have ever had traveling to Mexico. The food was great. My only complaint is I didn't like the menu about 80% of the menu is seafood and I'm not a big seafood eater. The service at the resort was so good they made me off menu meals that were fabulous. Now that's a 5* vacation."
