Loved the entire vibe of the hotel plus it is smack dab in the middle of every where that you would want to go: Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, etc. The staff was wonderful and attentive, food was great, it was peaceful and quiet and we loved the comfy bed and hammock. Our room (casita #21) was entirely secluded and... More

Outdoor shower, beautiful beach, an incredibly attentive staff, great food, great friends. I had my first cuban cigar, and took a naked plunge in my private pool. It doesn't get any better than this on the Riviera Maya. This is a great property for honeymooners and couples. I suggest the Mayan Ritual Spa Treatment for getting into the spirit of... More

From the Airport pick up to the Zen feel of the spa this property is outstanding. The additions and updates make this one of the nicest resorts that I have ever stayed in. Without question I look forward coming back.

My wife and I spent six nights on our honeymoon at the Viceroy Riviera Maya (then The Tides) in April 2011. We enjoyed our trip so much that we decided to return one year later and spent another six nights there this May. We had stayed in Villa 36 which was tucked well away from the beach on our previous... More

It's not often that my girlfriend and I get a chance to get a true beach vacation, so it goes without saying that we had high expectations for the Viceroy Riveria Maya. After spending five days at the resort this spring, we couldn't be happier with our experience. The Riviera Maya property is undeniably beautiful with a secluded rain forest... More

I visited the Viceroy Riviera Maya the last week of March 2012. The weather was perfect. There were no mosquitos, despite being in the jungle, perhaps because of the time of year. Each villa is secluded for the ultimate amount of privacy. Each villa has a private pathway leading to its entrance. The villa's private plunge pool was big enough... More
