"Palmaïa is one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at, if not the best. But it’s not just a hotel - it’s a beautifully thought-out, truly unique wellness experience. The design and aesthetics are stunning, with incredible attention to detail and natural, high-quality materials throughout. What makes Palmaïa really stand out is that it’s built into the jungle and integrated into nature, unlike so many resorts that flattened the jungle and built a concrete one in its place. The reward for that approach is the thriving wildlife - we saw coatis, agoutis, spider monkeys, raccoons, butterflies, countless birds, and lizards everywhere. Food was absolutely amazing. We’re not vegan or vegetarian, but loved the concept and all the options. It really makes you more open-minded, and if you want meat, fish or cheese, that’s easily accommodated too. Special mentions: the Palmaïa burger at Su Casa (!), charred broccoli and prawns at LEK, and the delicious snacks at Plantissa. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring - nothing was ever a problem. The all-inclusive is actually truly ALL inclusive, which is rare these days: room service, beach service, taco van, drinks, wellness classes, workouts - everything. Spa is extra, but absolutely worth it, especially as treatments include access to the private cenote and Mayan steam bath. The beach is beautiful and genuinely great for swimming. Yes, Riviera Maya has seaweed (we visited in May), but staff worked constantly to clear it"

"The location is terrible. Its in the middle of nowhere and hard to get there. Mosquitos everywhere!"
