Mayan Palace Riviera Maya

  • November 18, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by maksamit from Browerville, Minnesota
Best Things Nearby:
The resort is about 30 minutes from Cancun. The beach is right off poolside. Plently of ocean activites available. Shopping, dining, and tours are available through the resort's travel agent.

Best Things About the Resort:
Very large! Many ammenities yet to come. Resort is still under construction, but already has a lot to offer.

Resort Experience:
I have only seen pools like this in magazines! It took my breath away! We were swept up into a romantic tizzy the whole week. The studio was immaculate. We did a tour of what is being built as well. The one and two bedroom suites are more than a family would normally expect. Suites with a private whirlpool on the balcony will be available soon. We will definitely return for another vacation.

Mayan Palace Riviera Maya

  • April 13, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Maroons from Menominee, Michigan
Best Things Nearby:
Don't want to make this sound negative, but the best thing nearby was the ice machine! There is only one per building, and it was right next to our room. Seriously, Xcaret and Xel Ha are both with 15 minutes of the resort.

Best Things About the Resort:
The pool! It is huge. There is even an area where lounge chairs are set up in a shallow end so you can sit and read! Even though we were there during spring break, we never felt crowded by too many people. The rooms are also very nice. We had a one bedroom. The only drawback is the way things are laid out. There are NO views of the ocean. I think that's pretty strange, but that's just me. We really liked this resort. It will be amazing once it is complete.

Resort Experience:
It's hard to explain such a huge place. The buffet we had one night was nothing to brag about, the other meals we had were great. Service is wonderful, everyone does whatever they can to make you feel pampered. They are adding a water park, which should be finished in a year, and the Jack Nicklaus golf course should be done by June of this year. We really loved it. We don't like being in huge crowds, so this was just right for us.

Be sure and get a studio or larger apartment if you bring your kids, otherwise the hotel rooms are a little small. The place is unbelievable and the service is friendly and fantastic.

Mayan Palace

  • Rated 4 of 5 by Joe and Darina from Fairfield, Ohio
The unit was luxurious, spacious, well-decorated with marble floors, tropical colors, and comfortable furniture. The TV had CNN and programs in English. The balcony was too small to sit on and had no ocean views, only on-going construction at this time. The pool area was amazing. Rocky beaches.

  • Rated 3 of 5 by General Can from Winnipeg, Manitoba
Best Things Nearby:
Large swimming pools and a nice beach.

Best Things About the Resort:
The room is very nice and large enough for four people.

Resort Experience:
Mayan Palace Riviera Maya is very nice resort, but stay away from the sale people, unless to want to buy a timeshare. Car rental for few days will allow you to get around on your own. The public transportation in this area is very poor and it will be much cheaper than joining tours to Xcaret, Tulum and Chichen Itza. Driving is very easy.

There is no bottle water for free use and their tap water tasted funny. The best thing to do is use the ice from the ice machine for making coffee, tea, or cooking.
