This was my first time in Mexico, and it was great. The resort was huge, very comfortable, spacious, with multiple pool options, a lazy river, and a gorgeous private beach. There are 11 restaurants on the property, but not all are open at the same time. They have released Vegan menus at all restaurants, but while we were there, they weren't available due to missing ingredients. We went to: - Spice (Japanese). Great Hibachi experience, you need to book for this. - The Kitchen Table (International) Only visited for breakfast and lunch. The continental breakfast was fantastic, and the lunch was great too, with a salad buffet bar and an à la carte menu. - The Grill (Meat). Went for dinner. The food was great, but had limited veggie options. - The Lobster House (Seafood). Went for dinner. Delicious! - Agave (Mexican). Went for dinner. The food was good, but after going to the other restaurant, this was our least favourite. We didn't get to go to Chez Isabelle (French cuisine), but everyone says it's amazing! Overall, the food was the best I've had at an all-inclusive hotel so far. The amenities were great. Lovely beach area, good gym, nice pools and bars! There was always some activity going on, which was nice (e.g. beach volleyball, water volleyball, water aerobics, cocktail making, etc.) The only thing that let us down was the room, as it smelled of damp and mould. But they moved us once we made them aware. Their service was great. Everyone was very kind and happy.

I don’t like the fact that the grill (steak restaurant) just opened for serving but ran out of certain cuts, the porterhouse. It’s insane! We heard it similar from another guests but had to witness to ourselves. Unbelievable!!!

I am an Expedia Platinum member and a loyal Excellence guest for nearly ten years, having stayed at Riviera Maya more than five times. This last visit was by far the most disappointing. Our group booked two swim-up rooms and repeatedly requested they be side by side, but we were placed in different buildings. The front desk staff were dismissive and offered no solution, which was very upsetting. Despite my Platinum status, I received no benefits or recognition. Service at the Kitchen Table was also unacceptable. Staff avoided eye contact, never greeted us, and once made us stand waiting only to later say we couldn’t enter because our clothes were damp. This lack of courtesy was shocking compared to past visits. The biggest problem, however, was cleanliness and hygiene. The pool walls had black mold and debris, but worst of all, flies and mosquitoes were everywhere—throughout the resort and even inside the buffet restaurant. It felt dirty and unhygienic, unlike any of my previous stays. I have always chosen Excellence for its high standards, but this stay was a major disappointment. Unless these issues are fixed, I see no reason to return.

Overall stay was okay/good. I loved how quiet some areas were but then you could easily walk over to the pool bar and socialize. The pool was not clean any of the days. The bottom floor wasn’t cleaned and needed to be vacuumed. The food was good but in most places, it took a very long time for the food to come out, especially the steak house and lobster house for breakfast.

The staff were very courteous, their service was impeccable. Loved the dining and drink options available at the resort. There’re activities to keep you entertained throughout your stay and the environment is very beautiful. However, this resort is around 40mins from the hotel zone which is the tourist area. Uber for $35-40) and hotel taxis ($60) one way are available to go all the way there. So if that is your vibe you might want to double check or If you don’t mind doing the trip then this place is perfect.
