6/10
The Viceroy itself is stunning and the staff was attentiveāno complaints there. However, several aspects made this trip less enjoyable for us, though others may feel differently.
1. Inflated Prices
Pricing was extremeāa small bottle of water was $20. Without the all-inclusive plan, food and beverage costs felt unjustifiable. Menu options were limited and lacked flavor.
2. Noise from Nearby Properties
While not within Viceroyās control, loud parties from a neighboring resort disrupted our nights. The music was intense enough to shake the wallsāchallenging for those seeking a peaceful escape.
3. Area Atmosphere
We expected a refined experience south of Cancun but found the vibe across the region geared more toward spring-break energy. It felt misaligned with our expectations.
4. Seaweed and Beach Conditions
The beach was unusable due to heavy seaweed during our visit (MarchāOctober season). Swimming wasnāt an option, limiting us to the pool.
5. Lack of Local Alternatives
Renting a car didnāt help. The surrounding area felt neglectedādusty streets, unpleasant odors, and nowhere comfortable to walk or dine. The beach was narrow and crowded.
Bottom Line: The resort is lovely, but the environment around it made the experience fall short. If youāre looking for quiet luxury, better dining variety, and swimmable beaches, this may not be the best choice.
