We got terribly sick the first night and had to leave early. The manager at the hotel did nothing to accommodate the situation. They told me the only way to get a refund for the unused nights is to email the hotel and they DONT RESPOND. Scam

The food to the outdoor restaurants is terrible. I am not sure why they would do such a dishonor to themselves by serving such bad food. The other restaurants were good. However The Kitchen Table was excellent both in food and service. All other restaurants should learn from this place.

Thank you for choosing Excellence Riviera Cancun as the host of your Caribbean holiday and for sharing your discontent regarding your stay at the resort. Our guests’ experience is of utmost importance to us and is of deep regret to hear that your experience with us was not of full satisfaction. Every member of our staff is committed to following these rigorous standards at all times for the comfort and enjoyment of all of our guests. The food department is an important aspect we consider and that’s why our Chefs are passionate about taking care of every single detail and they personalize our service and cuisine to suit the different tastes and preferences of all our guests, although we will revise why during your getaway we did not seem to blow you away with delicious food in every meal and offer our sincerest apologies if this circumstance has affected your perception about the resort. We truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and reinstate your confidence in our services. Greetings from The Excellence Collection.

I cannot recommend this resort more! If you have the chance you will not be disappointed! Every aspect of our stay far exceeded any expectations that we had. The service is truly 5 star. There is not one thing we would change. Our room was incredible, the food was amazing, nightly entertainment was so fun and every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay special. My birthday occurred during the trip and they decorated our room, including a birthday card and cake. Definitely made the day extra special. Also for those nervous about Covid, their commitment to infection control was very impressive and the testing process was so easy and convenient. This is a must stay! You will not be disappointed! We will definitely be going back.

Beautiful property but you have to be a Club member to get decent alcohol and the don’t take reservations for dinner so although the food is delicious you can go hungry.
