10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Riu playacar for 10 days vacation on September 8-18, we really enjoyed the vacation, hotel was nice and clean, food was really good at the buffet and the restaurant, employee was very nice, the room was big very clean and beautiful. The bed was comfortable., the ocean was some days. Good some days bad with seaweed but warm water overall we had a really good time."

Viva Maya by Wyndham, A Trademark Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was great, except... upon checkout of one member of my family the staff at the front desk was making unreasonable requests about a beach towel card, to the extent of threatening to not let her leave the property, while her airport shuttle was waiting outside. His whole attitude changed when I stepped in and started speaking in clear English. That is wrong!"
