Riviera Maya hotel guide. Belmond hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico

"Very dated. Mosquitoes in the room. Rooms are very cold. No screens on the patio doors. No snack areas. Impossible to make reservations at any of the sit down dinner spots. I was there 7 days and they only allow you 2 reservations. But they are so booked, we will only be able to get one restaurant booked for the whole week. Eating at a buffet every single day for every meal is not ok"

"There were always chairs available at the pools. There were also a lot of staff ready to help with anything we needed. "

"Let’s start with the room service. We had to ask for towels at least 4 times during our 1 week stay. Towels were old, raggedy and literally falling apart. They didn’t stock our mini feodge daily and our amenities were never restocked (aside from the shampoo and body wash). Anytime we had a question we had to go to the client service center and they tried to sell us a timeshare EVERY TIME. In order or have dinner at one of the restaurants, other than the buffet, you had to make reservations at most 72 hours in advance, in person at the service center. You couldn’t just call or make them for the entire stay (which in our case was only 1 week). Food and drinks were mostly bad. I got food poisoning the 2nd night there. So did 2 other people in my party. The pharmacy at the resort charged 9 times more than the normal cost for medication. The same meds I bought in the resort for $500 mxps I bought for $60 mxps outside the resort. All pools closed at 8 pm and the towel and activities center closed 6pm. We witnessed a lot of clients complaining, on a daily basis, for the same and other reasons. During our stay, there was a child accident at the children’s pool that did not have a life guard on duty and staff escalated the situation by fighting with one of the child’s family members. Further there was not first aid administered by the resort. Two tourists rendered aid to the child. On a positive note, most of the staff and servers were friendly and polite. "

"The entertainment team was absolutely amazing. My kids actually cried having to say goodbye to them. They made my kids feel so special and got them to participate in things they wouldn’t have otherwise. We will be going back for them"

"We just returned from a weeklong trip to Xcaret Arte. What a beautiful resort! We had the basic Garden Suite and the room was gorgeous! The food was the best we have ever had at an all-inclusive resort. The staff at the resort is very friendly and they go out of their way to make your stay special. The free transportation and entrance to the various Xcaret parks was the cherry on top. We highly recommend this resort. I can’t wait to return!"

"This hotel is all inclusive amazing good amenities it’s a beautiful place you will love it we came for my cousins 60 th b day of youte booking check prices everyday our booking was 1400 for 2 per day then ok the day of checking the rate droped to 930 for 2 but it was amazing "

"Yes that was lovely. Room was clean.but boring and uninviting. Entire resort lacks Carribean atmosphere. Buildings look more like army barracks."

"Great amenities, great room, "

"I can't think of anything that I would change at this resort. Fantastic service, great food and impeccable property condition. I've stayed at Tropical, Colonial and The Palace in the past, and have never been disappointed. Amazingly, Riviera exceeded my expectations. We'll be back! "
