Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive
This was the original Excellence, so it is a bit dated. The staff was friendly and helpful. I am allergic to gluten, so there were limited options, especially desserts. The chef in the Excellence Club was outstanding and made GF French toast for me every morning. The spa was gorgeous.

Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive
Loved our stay here, the place is beautiful, lots of different food. The beach has lots of seaweed but the hotel had people cleaning it up. The beach was nice but it is very rocky, definitely recommend water shoes!

Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen Adults Only All Inclusive
It was a great vacation!! The seaweed smell was so bad!!! Seemed like it was difficult for them to clean it up. But the resort was great other than that!! Would stay there again!!
