Paradisus Playa del Carmen – Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We booked a family concierge room and it was 100% worth it! Our concierge, Erika, was so attentive and made our kids feel so special with surprises to the room each day. Great resort for kids with all the activities they plan. Also great for parents, as you can take advantage of the kids club and then use the adult only side amenities!"

10/10 Excellent
"It is an unbeatable value. Highly recommend bringing a real stroller because there will be a lot of walking. I’m so glad I brought the infant carrier for my 3 year old because he was not having all the walking lol. My five year old rode in the umbrella stroller. I wish I brought our BOB stroller for some rough roads and storage capability. Also recommend bringing bags of poolside snacks and juice boxes because kiddo snacks are not accessible easily. It was a blast, Mexico night was a super fun evening and the property is beautiful and so romantic at night. Highly recommend this for families with young kiddos. The night show was great, staff were kind and helpful. It’s not a foodie adventure spot, but the food was fine really. It’s more of a chore to eat than anything, but we were there for the fun and adventure more than a fancy food experience. Can’t enjoy a good meal anyways with a 3 and 5 year old. You won’t starve, some buffet nights were better than others, we all ate very well regardless!"

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had an enjoyable stay. It doesn't compare to past stays at places like the Riu, but for the price and service, we had no major complaints. Pros: -Active effort made to keep rooms and the resort clean. The beach was clean with barely any sargassum. -Buffet was standard resort fare (decent, no surprises). The Italian restaurant—the only reservation option we tried out of Japanese and Mexican—was amazing, with fine-dining quality. Drinks weren't watered down (we often asked for doubles). -The pool taco stand (open till 2 AM) was key for late-night cravings; we were there almost every night. -Very close to 5th Ave for shops/restaurants. Friendly, hospitable staff and smooth check-in/out. Cons: -Pool Closure: Half the main pool and swim-up bar were closed until our last day. Advance notice would be nice, especially as recent reviews note this happens often. -First Room: Main floor near the lobby was loud (bar, entrance, karaoke/shows) with a noticeable pipe smell. Moving to the 3rd floor near the beach fixed both immediately. -Timeshare Pitches: Initial pitches for the presentation were aggressive, including notes on our door, but they stopped after 3–4 refusals. -Bed Preference: Requested a king bed, but only 2 double beds were available (which was fine, but a king was preferred). The pillows were also unreasonably firm, it was like sleeping on a rock."
