Book beach hotels in Riviera Maya from CA $258

"We had a great time at this resort with a large family group with small children! The room was newly renovated and always well cleaned. The selection of food at buffets was always great! We really enjoyed the beach buffet and tacos, the Japanese restaurant, and the outdoor evening seafood restaurant. Drinks and smoothies were great! The staff are so friendly and hardworking. Thank you to our concierge Fernando! We all loved the quiet pool because if feels like jungle all around you and makes for more shade a large percent of the day. Kids and grown ups loved the lazy river and the dolphin experience. My 3 yr old was delighted to kiss, shake a fin, hug etc the dolphins. The beach is fantastic for small children to be able to snorkel with fish in shallow calm water! And adults can enjoy snorkelling in the deeper water out past the rocks to see coral reef and even the occasional sting ray! We also really enjoyed walking south to crocodile lagoon for another really neat snorkelling experience with fish in the mangroves. One of the only downsides was that the kids splash pool and waterslides were closed (presumably for renovations?). That was an unexpected disappointment for the kids. Also it would be nice if some of the more kid friendly evening entertainment (The Lion King show and Circus show) was at an earlier hour... maybe 7pm instead of 9pm. Tip: It's an easy walk to the highway where you can take a collectivo (public transit) to Akumal, Tulum, or cenotes (Aktun Chen)"

"This place was perfect for my family of small kids (3 years and 7 months). This resort is huge but stroller friendly. It was perfect for my toddler who loves to run everywhere. The people there were great and the food was delicious. Many options for swimming. We got the unlimited Xcaret experience, which was perfect for small kids to do everything slow vs jamming it all in one day or two. The park is literally attached to the resort so walking in and out is only about 5 mins with two entry points. The entertainment, the beach lagoon, the pools, it was all great. The buildings are a bit older and more ecolodge feeling (which is perfect for this place that is all nature) so if you have accessibility needs, make sure to highlight those as there is no elevator at the individual hotel lodging buildings. Lots of wild life and lovely trails within the resort. We loved that we were able to snorkel and see beautiful fish in the freshwater beach and pool. Beautiful Mayan landmarks to discover. Expedia has its own building (building 22 which is closer to the beach and one of the Xcaret entrance) and Booking through Expedia has its perks like making sure all your a la carte reservations are done at once vs waiting in line each day to book them. There is also a common room in the Expedia building with coffee and breakfast treats (for a quick start to your morning). Make sure to talk to the Expedia customer service to know what perks you have as an Expedia member. "

"We really enjoyed this resort, perfect size. Staff were helpful, friendly and on top of everything!"

"Such a beautiful well kept property with amazing food, drink, and service!"

"It is beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn’t like the pressure to buy into the Hyatt properties vacations. We went to visit the resort natural. It was dirty, over populated, restrooms were dirty and only one elevator was working to view a room on the 8th floor. The people giving the information became very rude when we decided to decline the offer. We were asked 4 more times by different managers, bosses, people with different titles. I will never do that again. It was a waste of three hours as we were told it was only one hour and a half. "

"Loved the activities "
