i went to every ALL INCLUSIVE so u dont have to🇲🇽
i go to mexico twice a year; i wish i was kidding but ask all my friends they’ll know its true ✊🏼
let me give you my honest ratings on the ones ive been to the past 2 years:
💟Hotel Riu Cancun - I am a RIU HATER. I will never stay at a RIU again because I think the service is bad, food was just okay, and I felt that the staff didn’t clean as much compared to the other resorts I’ve been to.
-3/5 stars- I wouldn’t completely rule it out but I would prefer just not to stay at RIUs again!
💟Dreams Jade Resort & Spa - I would say this is my 2nd favorite out of my 4! The food was okay but the staff were so wonderful and friendly. Service was good and the beaches were beautiful!
-4.5/5 stars- I would totally recommend this place!
💟The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences - This one came highly recommended from my friends and I’m so glad i listened to them!!! This place has been my favorite thus far, from service to food to activities - everything was delightful and I felt so relaxed staying here!
-5/5 stars- Please come if you ever get the chance!
💟Viva Maya by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort - I booked this very last minute, this all inclusive was a bit less modern but the service was good as well. My only complaint was restaurants were so hard to book and my boyfriend found out La Quinta Avenida was close by the hotel and he honestly saved the trip. It was safe enough in that area to taxi (standard rate so you won’t be scammed) to their 5th ave where I got to experience the culture of everything!
-3.8/5 stars-I would definitely come here if you’re looking to venture out the resort, definitely don’t stay out too late but leaving the resort let me experience Cancun to the fullest and I was so happy.
Traveling to Cancun and staying at an all-inclusive resort can create the ideal vacation experience, but choosing the right resort is key. Based on extensive personal visits, it's clear that not all all-inclusive resorts deliver the same quality of service and amenities. Hotel Riu Cancun, while popular, often disappoints with mediocre food and subpar cleanliness. Service consistency appears lacking compared to other resorts, making it a less desirable option for those seeking relaxation without concerns. Dreams Jade Resort & Spa shines with its friendly staff and beautiful beaches, offering a good balance of service and atmosphere. Although the food quality can be average, the overall welcoming environment and beach access make it a solid choice for travelers prioritizing comfort and hospitality. The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences stands out as a top pick due to its excellent service, delicious food, and engaging activities. Guests often leave feeling fully relaxed and satisfied, making it highly recommended for anyone wanting a luxurious all-inclusive experience that feels both personal and comprehensive. Viva Maya by Wyndham offers good service but faces challenges with restaurant reservations and a less modern vibe. However, its proximity to La Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) is a major perk, as it allows guests to easily explore Cancun's lively culture, shops, and dining outside the resort. Taking a taxi to this vibrant area expands the vacation experience beyond resort walls, providing a taste of authentic local life. When selecting an all-inclusive resort in Cancun, consider your priorities—whether that’s exceptional service, beachfront relaxation, or cultural immersion. Remember to research dining options and accessibility to nearby attractions like La Quinta Avenida to maximize your trip. Overall, balancing comfort inside the resort with occasional ventures out into Cancun can create a memorable and enjoyable vacation. These firsthand insights aim to guide travelers toward making informed decisions for their next all-inclusive stay in Mexico’s beautiful Cancun region.
