Pros: The location is really beautiful. The staff are so incredibly kind, with special shoutouts to Fernando, Christian, and lady running the snack bar. They all went out of the way to be personable and helpful. Cons: The food is average at best. The resort isn't perfect (personal examples: fridge wasn't stocked or working, patio chair was damaged, one sink didn't work). The resort is kinda far from everything including a convenience store.

We stayed at Senses Riviera for 10 nights. It’s an older hotel in need of a few updates, but nothing to complain about. It really depends on your attitude. If you’re naturally positive, you’ll find many things to appreciate. The rooms are huge, great shower, gorgeous panoramic view, relatively good food and a truly incredible staff. Humberto at the front desk is super kind and helpful. Hernan, Rufino and Ruby (among other wait staff) kept the drinks coming and made sure we were completely taken care of. Tip them big; they work hard. They will treat you like family. We didn’t care for the loud music all day at the pool (it takes away from the peaceful sounds of the ocean), but that VIEW though! Spectacular. We had a great time.

Dear, Mrs Michelle thank you so much for your comments.

This hotel is a scam. Travelocity should take it off their website. This is NOT a 5-star or even 4-Star hotel. It is barely a 3. I would say more a 2-star. The hotel is falling apart, the rooms smell like a basement, there is no entertainment, only 1 restaurant and a “pool bar” which is hardly open. Our room was disgusting. The walls had stains, mirrors were missing and the ones that weren’t were cracked, the TV was broken, the remote was broken, the door was broken, there was no hot water, we didn’t have robes, we didn’t receive a welcome drink, we did not get any info about the resort upon arrival, the plants were dying, the paint and wood was chipping or broken and warped. It was just a terrible experience. We left and went to a different resort and they refuse to refund our money. I hope Travelocity can do the right thing and get us our money back and at least take this hotel down to 2 Stars like it deserves. I’m very disappointed that Travelocity backs this hotel and that I trusted booking through them but they only said “it’s up to the hotel manager, if they will refund your stay”.

I really liked the rooftop area designated for topless and nude sunbathing which included two hot tubs. The water in the hot tubs was not very warm and never exceeded 87 degrees F although the heater setting was programmed for 104 degrees F. I also liked the expansive size of the guestroom...nearly 900 square feet and high quality of finishes. The large shower is amazing and while the jacuzzi tub was a bonus, the hand-held shower component was not functioning due to a missing control valve. Bedding was comfortable as well. The variety of food at the restaurant was good and very well presented...compliments to the chef! Housekeeping was a bit of a challenge resulting from not having adequate towels supplied in our room and some days, none at all, so we were frequently having to ask the front desk for bathroom towels as well as pool towels. The mini-fridge was adequately stocked, but on occasion, we had to ask for more "Coke Light" beverages since we were not beer drinkers. The "all-inclusive" rate for this hotel was very reasonable and the overall value and quality for this property met my expectations. This was the second time in the last two years we stayed at this property and coincidentally had the same exact room number as our first visit. I look forward to another visit in the years to come! Thank you to all of the staff for making my stay a pleasant one!
