"Loved the pool and area on the roof! My only complaint is the nosey traffic, which can't be helped, but nice to be aware of that. Also, it says oceanfront but there is a busy street, the main one... the ocean is there, but its kinda dirty down on that part and not much beach area. The staff outside letting you in and out are very nice, polite and helpful. I felt safe inside the property as a solo woman traveler, but I wanted to be able to walk on the beach at night from my room. I just couldn't...

"The property owner was very unresponsive. It was missing a few important amenities, which we then purchased under our own cost. Although the owner promised that we will be reimbursed for the cost, no actual reimbursement was given. There were water leakage in multiple spot which the owner failed to provide any solutions on. The WiFi in the house was not functioning properly neither. There were rust on most metal items inside the bathroom, and it was very moldy. The unit sits right on the main...

Top Playa El Cielo Hotel Reviews

Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Madonna show and Michael shows were amazing!"

Allegro Cozumel All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful Beach, Amazing Staff, and Not-So-Quiet Nights! If you’re looking for a beautiful beach, gorgeous tropical grounds, stiff drinks, and incredibly friendly staff, look no further! We were pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and accommodating everyone was throughout our 7 night stay. Our first room wasn’t up to par, but the staff quickly moved us to a second-floor unit overlooking the resort, surrounded by beautiful palm trees. The room was beneath a stunning vaulted thatched roof, adding to the tropical charm. Unfortunately, the design had one major flaw: virtually no soundproofing! We could hear EVERYTHING next door, including a neighbor’s loud snoring that kept waking us throughout the night. Luckily, he rarely returned before 1:30 a.m., giving us some quiet time before the nightly concert next door began! The resort also offers nightly discos and outdoor entertainment. Great if you enjoy evening fun, but not so great if you’re hoping for an early night. The noise made it difficult to sleep before 10 p.m. I wondered how families with little ones managed! The food was very good, and as a non-picky eater, I could always find something delicious. Add the beautiful beach, lovely grounds, and stiff drinks, and there’s plenty to enjoy. Would we recommend it? Absolutely! Just be prepared for some noise if you’re a light sleeper. The outstanding staff and tropical atmosphere made our stay memorable. Better soundproofing would make this resort a 5-star review."

Barceló Maya Colonial - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Barcelo has 6 hotels on the property to accommodate all price ranges and specific needs (like the adults only hotel). The area is very large so be prepared to walk a lot! The grounds are immaculate; the rooms are very clean and well maintained. They kept the fridge stocked with water, soda, beer and nuts every day. They keep the room temps a little too cold and I could never figure out how to adjust the thermostat and maintain the temp I wanted. It was always around 19 C which is about 64 F. The food at the buffet was always fresh and hot and the specialty restaurants were fabulous! The staff is multi-lingual, except for the gals who clean the rooms. Most of them only speak Spanish. The check in process was smooth and luckily there weren't large groups checking in at the same time however; checking out was awful. They need a separate line for check-outs. I waited for over 30 minutes behind people who were checking in and we almost missed our shuttle. That would be my only complaint is the check-out process. Give yourself PLENTY of time when you're ready to leave. Also - the bartenders are very friendly and remember your preferences. We always tipped them $1 every time we went to get drinks, and they appreciate it very much! Pools are very clean and huge! Never felt crowded and there is plenty of seating both around the pools and on the beach."

Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I love everything about this place, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The place was clean it was a great place to relax. The only thing I didn’t like was that the hotel doesn’t have shuttle service, to pick you up from the airport and take you back. It was quite disappointing that our driver was there to pick us up to take us to the airport and they didn’t bother to look for us. The waiting time is 5 min if not they leave."
