"Staff was great!! Waiters are attentive and butlers are there whenever you have a question. My only complaint is sometimes the golf cart transportation takes a while."
Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"Very clean resort with many things to do. Room was very nice and air-conditioning worked great. We were upgraded to a bigger room for some reason I am not aware of but I did not complain. I always need a cool/cold room when sleeping and this definitely fit the bill. Deck was also nice too and was quite big. Restaurants were nice and clean. You definitely need to book all the restaurants in advance as they fill up quickly. The booking website could use some better work as it was hard to cancel and change reservations. Pools were nice and cleaned every morning. Beach was maintained as best as possible every morning given the bad seaweed season. The beach is not the best but you can snorkel and see many fish. On some days, there was no seaweed at all. Staff is very friendly and willing to help as much as possible. Bars were plentiful with a lot of seating. We didn't upgrade to the privileged status, but the selection was okay. Nightly shows were great and entertaining. Be sure to show up early. All in all in was a great resort. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I have been to over 30+ all-inclusive resorts throughout Central America and this was by no means in the bottom half of lower 75%. The only negative is how far it is from the airport; its about an hours drive from Cancun/airport. So if you are booking any excursions that are in Cancun or leave from Cancun, be prepared to spend at least an hour or 2 in the car."
Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club - Adults Only - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"So many good things to say and people to shoutout but I can’t forget to personally say Carlos and Hadai are the best drink makers and entertainers. Julio is the best contact anyone could dream of on the resort and even helped me recover my lost phone. Camilla is also great and even though I didn’t buy what she sold she is so fun to talk to and persuasive. Maria and another gentleman (forgot his name) keep things very fun and interesting. I really wish I remembered his name because he is amazing from volleyball to water aerobics to the cycling tour. I typically don’t revisit places but this one will be a repeat for sure. I even started doing yoga out there for the first time in my life because Barbara is so fun and knowledgeable.
My advice during the hot season is to eat, get some good drinks at the preferred lounge, then head to the beach club until about 3:30. The pools at the resort will pop off and games will begin after this so the resort will be the place to be after 4pm until dinner.
I will say my girlfriend’s glasses went mysteriously missing but we don’t know how so I won’t blame the resort for that but definitely use your safe for all personal belongings."
"We had a medical emergency at the hotel and the staff was great and acted quickly at getting us a doctor and continuously checked up on us. Thankful for their assistance. Hotel
Was clean except for the shared bathrooms. People failed to flush, but that’s not really the staff but the visitors. Good was average. Would have appreciated authentic Mexican food, but was unable to locate any. The entertainment at night was good. Michael Jackson show
Was exceptional. Over all a good experience, but could do little things to improve the experience."
"There was not much food options. We opted for A la Carta and we were advise that no reservation was required however when we reach at the restaurant they advise us that they now required reservation and was roll out the day after we checked in. They mentioned advise was sent but we didn't receive any notification on the app nor email"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel near Riviera Maya
Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Riviera Maya is between September and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a comprehensive experience of the region's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended. During this period, visitors can enjoy affordable excursions to ancient ruins, relax on stunning beaches, and indulge in activities like snorkelling and swimming in the sea. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing for both entertainment and romantic moments, all while on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers enticing DealsOpens in a new window to Riviera Maya travellers, where you may discover attractive discounts. If you're seeking a spontaneous escape, the Last-Minute Deals section could present appealing opportunities as your travel date nears. Moreover, the app’s Smart Shopping tool allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to be informed when rooms become available or prices drop. Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize a last-minute getaway with confidence.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more favourable rate for your stay near a Riviera Maya hotel. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could offer a more attractive option.
Consider your location: Opting for accommodation nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher expenses. For more budget-friendly options, consider hotels situated in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and ease of access to your intended destinations. You might also look into independent hotels located further out, which are more likely to provide a more authentic and affordable experience.
