I have to start by saying the smell in the lobby of this resort is to die for. I could literally sit in there all day. My husband and I arrived to this location with transportation through MTS and it was amazing. We arrived to champagne and hand towels. We got there early so our room was not available but we were allowed to eat and walk around the resort. The staff was incredibly nice and respectful. We were always greeted politely. The entertainment was very good for a resort. We loved Karaoke night. It was so much fun! They should offer this more than once a week. Saturdays are a bit more quiet due to some people checking out on Sundays. My check out with Monday and we could hear a DJ going all night. I wish they would move that to Saturday for weekend fun. The bars were really really good. They could make whatever drink you wanted. My husband did wish the beer selection was better but overall he was ok with what they had. We did order room service one night for dinner it was average but we did not do that again. Breakfast was 10/10. We did decide to do more restaurant eating, which was soo good. Olas was our go too for tacos. The grill was very very good. The Kitchen was amazing due to the selection. They French restaurant was even better. Filet mignon melted in your mouth. Our room was cleaned multiple times a day which I appreciated so much. We did see a couple water bugs but what can you do! Overall 10/10

Excellent attention from the staff and good cleaning. I didn't like that the food in the restaurants was the same throughout the week, they don't have a good restaurant buffet for lunch and dinner. I think we won't return to this hotel.

I’ve stayed at several 5-star resorts in Cancun before, and while Riviera Maya Cancun is nice in some ways, it just didn’t feel as high-end as others I’ve experienced, especially for the price. One major downside is the location-it’s over 30 minutes from the Hotel Zone, which makes it pretty inconvenient if you’re looking to explore or do anything off-resort. Another letdown was the vibe. They didn’t play much music throughout the day, and it really affected the energy of the place. If you’re looking for a more lively atmosphere with fun activities, this probably isn’t the spot. Overall, it’s fine if you’re strictly looking to relax and do nothing but lounge.. very calm and quiet. But if you’re looking for better energy and a more connected experience with everything Cancun has to offer, I’d definitely go with a different resort, especially at this price point.

Overall, the property, staff, and food were very good to excellent. In fact, I would have rate some areas as excellent, but the fact that we could not use the beach and/or go into the ocean was a big negative. The entire shoreline was plagued with sargassum seaweed bloom. While I understand this is not the fault of the resort, it still was a huge drawback in our stay and being confined to the pool. Without the seaweed issue and with beautiful blue water, as should be expected in this area, I would rate the resort as excellent.
