Top Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

Ocean Maya Royale - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything"

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancún - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Staff are friendly and helpful Pools are at a good depth for my kids, which took the worry away of being on the alert. Room was clean and well kept, however I did not like the design of no pricacy locks for the showers and toilets. My kids did not like it either."

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."
