This is my fourth time staying here. I always book the lacuna villas and it’s amazing everytime. The staff is great and the property is incredible. My only issue this year (for the first time) was the travel group people (similar to selling timeshares). They were super aggressive and way too forward. I somehow got sucked in to this 90 minute (which ended up being much longer) presentation and when I didn’t want to sign up their energy changed and became super angry and hostile. Didn’t love that at all.

I love the Riviera Princess! We have stayed at the Grand Riviera Princess and now at the Sunset Princess which is basically the same resort. A mirror comparison which allowed us to quickly find everything. The resort is beautiful! So much nature and the pathways are always well lit and clean. The staff is always very happy and friendly. The a la carte restaurants are amazing. The buffet is surprisingly decent. The property is in need of some updates. For example. The TVs in the rooms are like 20 years old. They are all blurry and are probably like 22 inches big. The rooms could use modern furniture or decorations. They need to replace the curtains. Everything in the rooms look like it’s 2002. But you don’t spend much time in your room so it’s not too bad. The pools are great and the activities are too. We got to play a beach volleyball game. A ping pong game and we loved the night shows after dinner. We tried going to the disco but it was very empty. My only concern is that they seem to use very cheap alcohol. It seems like it’s super watered down and it tends to make you sick. However, if you’re not a heavy drinker you’ll not mind this. We found out it’s just safer to drink beer. I love this place. Will probably be back and I would recommend.

The staff was very accommodating. The grounds were beautifully maintained. The pools and beach was beautiful. The food was mediocre. The lasagna and tiramisu at the Mama Mia restaurant was not good. The t-bone steak at La Vaqueria was delicious. The crème brûlée at the Le Fleur restaurant was excellent.

Overall let down by this property. You definitely get what you pay for on this one. It’s a cheaper price because it’s not as good of a resort than others we’ve been to in Mexico. Food is okay. Buffet sucks. a la carte restaurants are okay. No variety for breakfast, same things and place everyday. There were 3 restaurants not even open the whole time. It was a fun property though!

This property had wonderful up to date decor, the rooms were large and cleaned with fresh towels every time we came back from breakfast. The pools and beach life were great. Lots of nightly entertainment. Staff were ALL wonderful. Expedia rep at the hotel was great and always answered any questions we had. Plenty of food choices and good. Wildlife the awsome.
