The 10 best Resorts in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

April 23, 2023 Hector Krause

Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

Our plans were to travel from Philadelphia to Miami and then to Curaçao with a stay at Zoetry Flight delays and cancellations throughout most of the east coast on Saturday 6/4 forced us to either cancel our vacation or select a new destination with a Sunday arrival We chose Secrets Riviera Cancun in Puerto Morelos because of the close proximity and ability to stay preferred adults only on short notice ALL of the staff who worked very hard to make our stay beyond outstanding deserve a special thank you and should be commended for doing everything possible every single day to exceed expectations We did not expect this level of consistently outstanding service in a number of areas but that’s exactly what we experienced for 6 consecutive days In particular we would like to acknowledge the incredible customer service provided to us during our stay by the following: LUIS preferred lounge bartender FABIAN preferred pool complex butler DAVID secrets entertainment URBANO the best pool complex bar service CESAR Rosewater restaurant Maitre’D ADAL Rosewater waiter As you can see there were a number of hardworking dedicated and loyal employees who made it happen every day and who deserve a special thank you Our stay was incredible and we enjoyed this beautiful resort that doesn’t get all of the hype & the headlines but certainly far and away distinguished itself in the Secrets brand Continued success & many thanks for a very memorable stay We will be back Dean Kokos Carlisle Pennsylvania

Wonderful!

Reviewed By Jacksonmm1990

It's a wonderful place! Mexico is already a great place, but this place is pretty good. I don't know why but I was especially amazed by the quality of the bartender. He was a friend who spoke three languages. I forgot his name but the bartender was great. The beach has a wonderful ambiance. I loved it a lot. Next time I will come with my wife.

Excellent Honeymoon at Excellence!

Reviewed By MichaelFromTexas

Although it rained 95% of our trip as a result of hurricane Agatha, we still had the most amazing time! We could not say more positive things about the resort, the food, and the amazing staff we met. We celebrated our honeymoon as first timers of this resort and everything was a wonderful experience. We have stayed at numerous all inclusive resorts in Mexico and this resort is by far our favorite and we're already planning our next trip back. All the staff was exceptional but a few that really stood out to us were; Isabel, Andres and Alejandro with Entertainment, Carlos the bell hop, and Anibal a waiter at Basmati. Each one of them exceeded our expectations and are the absolute best!

Shout Out to Azul and the Entertainment Team

Reviewed By charcharblinks

Our experience at the resort was very enjoyable. We especially loved the food and service at Azul, one of the restaurants on the resort. Service and food were impeccable. We tried every restaurant on the resort at least once, but our favorite was Azul. Any time that they were open, that's where we went except when we weren't on the resort. Shout out to the hostess Iris, always very pleasant and the waiters that waited on us Señors Martin, Juan Carlos and everyone! Of course, hats off to the Chef (amazing food!)! While we didn't drink alcoholic beverages that much during the trip, what we had were really tasty! They definitely have really good bartenders! This all-inclusive resort has a lot of perks, and we had a very positive experience here. The other thing that we really enjoyed and have amazing things to say about are their entertainment team (or as they call them SPORTS TEAM!); they had great energy, and were amazing at hyping up the events and games. We loved playing volleyball with them. The resort can definitely count them as a great addition to their team! The only thing we didn't like was the ventilation and the air circulation in our room. When we hang our towels up, they didn't quite dry, and the bedsheets sometimes felt damp. The fan would also clunk really loud after it's done doing its thing. Other than this, we had an awesome experience! Everyone was really helpful when we'd practice our broken Spanish, when we had questions or needed some help with something! Overall, definitely recommend the resort! Eat at restaurant Azul, and participate in the entertainment events with their "Sports Team"!

I had higher expectations for “The Grand” Fiesta Americana. I was disappointed with the service and maintenance.

Reviewed By Dora H

Very dissatisfied with the service and experience.. definitely not a “Grand”. Poor maintenance of the establishment and very poor service. We were told no alcohol served for 2 days without any prior notice, we had to chase after a server to bring us a drink and we were denied food from restaurants be served to our kids unless we had reservations. Buffet selection is not kid friendly. The bathroom had so many issues starting with a door that didn’t lock, rust on the tub, paint on the floor and peeled plastic shower head. I could go on but the point I am making is that it was not a grand experience at all.
