Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only

Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"The resort was beautiful, the service was the best I have ever had traveling to Mexico. The food was great. My only complaint is I didn't like the menu about 80% of the menu is seafood and I'm not a big seafood eater. The service at the resort was so good they made me off menu meals that were fabulous. Now that's a 5* vacation."
