Our recent stay was overall very enjoyable, and we truly appreciated many aspects of the property. The food was consistently good, and we especially liked that the pools never felt overly crowded. The views—from both our room and the sky bar—were absolutely stunning and added a special touch to the experience. Service throughout the resort was attentive and prompt. A special mention goes to Francisco at the beach club, who was fantastic, and to our butler, Hector, who went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of every day. There are a few areas where enhancements could make the guest experience even better. For example, it would be nice to have a swim-up bar or a convenient spot to grab quick snacks by the pool. Additionally, for a room priced at over $900 per night, it seems reasonable to expect basic amenities like dish soap and laundry detergent to be provided without having to request them. For families traveling with young children, including essentials like milk with the upgraded snack service would also be a thoughtful touch. We did take advantage of the in-room babysitting service one evening. While we were initially a bit hesitant, Michelle was wonderful with our 20-month-old and quickly put us at ease. Overall, we had a lovely time and would certainly consider returning, especially with a few small improvements that would elevate the luxury experience to match the price point.

Marival Distinct was a first class property in terms of the location and rooms and grounds. The staff was kind and capable. On the side of "needs work" I didn't enjoy the food as much as I would have imagined I would, and didn't care for the odd presence of artificial sweetener in all the drinks. I also would have liked a bit of a beer selection. Just Modelo and Corona were offered. I enjoyed my stay largely but may be the type of guest that needs to get out a bit more over a week in Mexico as well.

Very different from your usual all inclusive resorts. Do your research. Lots of strict rules. No taking food to go. No buffet. Sit down restaurants only. Annoying sales pitch at check in. Questions like "What do you do for a living"? No getting room key till you get through the pitch. No bottled water anywhere. Have to pay extra for bottled water... Room service is 10% charge. Tough with little kids with no buffet. Asked for ice cream to go at the restaurant by the pool, not allowed. Have to sit down to eat. Ice cream only after 1 pm... No more towels by the beach and infinity pool. They give you some kind of thin blankets to lie on.

Family Vacation

Positives: Accommodated our large family (4 kids) Good for relaxing vacation Food quality was decent Water in pools was comfortable Room service option was great when needed Towel service (number of towels, availability of towels was amazing) Ambience was great Hotel is not crowded, it was busy in areas when we wanted to be around people and always easy to find a quiet area Bathrooms (public) were nice and always clean Negatives: Charged for missing all inclusive braclets as we were grabbing taxi to airport ($65 USD per rope Braclet!). I’d suggest taking them off at the beginning of the trip, and having them ready for checkout. No one asked for them, they’re scratchy rope braclets. All food options were menu order-nothing quick. Having snack options, especially with kids, would have been great Entertainment was at the other resort, and didn’t start until 9pm. order accuracy was poor at the beach club, we waited almost 3 hours the one night we ate supper there, and didn’t get the food. The check in process sucked. Two hours waiting for two people to run us through the hotel process, and try to convince us to do a time share presentation. The activities (sales) desk were obviously conflicted (incentivized). They were the first people you saw on/off the elevator. And any questions would lead to sales pitches on time share purchase.
