I returned from Riviera Cancun yesterday and couldn’t wait to post my review! I have never reviewed a resort before, but this place deserves a post. Originally I was skeptical because the pricing for all inclusive seemed a bit too good to be true. I expected the food to be mediocre at best, the room to be decent and the staff to be average.
Boy was I wrong!! The food was incredible with a nice variety of offerings. My favorite restaurant is a four way tie between all four restaurants. The room was cute and clean with a fluffy comfy bed and it stayed nice and cool mid July. The staff is the showstopper of the resort. Everyone was kind and helpful without being over the top. Jesus, Alfredo and Alexander were absolutely fantastic. I miss them already 😢 There’s also fun things happening everyday. We painted pottery, we danced to a live band and had dinner poolside on Mexican night. We also won movie trivia at the tiki bar!! There were other activities offered multiple times daily.
The resort grounds were very well maintained and so charming. It felt nostalgic of my childhood when resorts had character. It just made you want to stay forever.
My husband and I went to another Cancun resort 2 months ago. It was a 5 star luxury resort and 5 times more expensive than Riviera Cancun. There is hands down, no comparison. I would choose this resort any day regardless of the price. I’m currently booking another trip because the thought of not being there again just makes me sad. Thanks again to the staff, especially Jesus, Alfredo, and Alexander. See you soon!!
