“Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2016

I'll make this short and sweet. We loved this little hotel! The front desk was so nice and even gave our toddler beach toys to play with. Loved the breakfast and especially the variety of fresh juices. This is where I developed a love for grapefruit juice. Had fun being in the best location just off of 5th street and... More

This was the first hotel we stayed in in Mexico and it was a great start for our trip. The hotel is located in a perfect location just a few minutes walk from the beach and 5th Avenue. The room was clean and highly maintained. Very nice breakfast by the pool, which is quite small but still very pleasant. Contrary... More

We loved Riviera del Sol. This was our first time staying at a small hotel in Mexico (usually stay in large resorts) and found it a great choice for Playa del Carmen. It is just a block off of 5th Avenue, and just a couple of blocks from the beach. We had two rooms (1 for our kids ages 16... More

Stayed at Riviera del Sol from 2/19-2/16. We wanted to try something different on this vacation. We’ve always walked by these cute boutique hotels in Playa. This year we decided to try one. We wanted to break out of the all-inclusive. We wanted better food, drinks and service. It exceeded expectations. We stayed in room 301. It’s on the top... More

The rooms are very nice and kept clean. The receptionists are very friendly and attentive. The location of the hotel is very good, close ways to Mamita beach and 5th avenue.

Totally satisfied with the experience. Next time I'll stay longer at playa. Close to everything you need. The only thing not available was the laundry service. Not a big deal for a solo traveler. Coming back for sure!

4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2016

Okay, three great things about this hotel: 1. It's small an intimate. There are only about 20-24 rooms that wrap a charming courtyard with pool, greenery and sitting areas. It's incredible relaxing, a tiny oasis. 2. The staff is outstanding. Mostly Argentines, they are conscientious, incredibly courteous and helpful. Most of them have been there a long time which is...
