The VIP benefit was non-existent, however the hotel was very nice and the staff generally helpful with a few exceptions here and there. Tipping seems to make a huge difference in the quality of service and has become expected, which is a bit annoying when you’ve already paid so much upfront. There were some moments when we felt palpable contempt from our servers at the restaurants and that is the first time I’ve ever experienced this in Mexico. Also the perks of the Excellence Club have gone way down (no more free alcohol upgrades in the room for exemple, also no more getting a beach bed ready for us, etc.) The quality of the food at the buffet was incredible. I loved going there for breakfast. The beach has a seaweed problem but we didn’t spend too much time there anyway. The pools and grounds are exceptionally well maintained, which makes for a very pleasant and relaxing time.

Our stay was pleasant and relaxing. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and ready to answer any questions we had. If you’re looking to explore Cancun, you will need to use a taxi but the resort was great and made arrangements for us. We felt safe while in the resort, we arrived in the middle of the week and not much entertainment was planned in the evenings other than karaoke but Friday’s Mexico night was fun!

First time at an all inclusive resort and also first time in mexico. Friendly service, fun activities sprinkled throughout each day, variety of restaurants, and a good mix of lively and relaxing activities. The main pool was great to gather at and mingle with others, grab a drink at the swim up bar , and parricipate in activities like volleyball, cocktail lessons, bingo, and souvenir making. If we wanted a quieter more relaxing day, the pool by revive bar was perfect! There is also an accessibility pool which actually stays a bit warmer in the evenings compared to the others- it has a ramp as well and is more shallow. On busier days, it was still possible to find a lounge chair at one of the pools. The resort keeps pool floaties in sheds near the towel and bathroom areas at each pool-people tend to take them early morning and hold onto them all day. First come, first serve. The beach was great - lots of seating available even on busiest day that we were there! The resort does maintain the shoreline by removing the sargassum periodicially and if you're lucky, you may be able to venture into the ocean during an afternoon but mostly, the entire region (gulf of mexico, including florida beaches) have a lot of sargassum; it's inevitable. In the evenings there were quiz activities at the theatre, which then led into a musical performance , and then a different show each night. Laid back atmosphere, yet very fun! We had a great time at excellence riveira cancun & will retur

Overall we had a good stay! Our swim up pool room was very, very smelly- like musty and made our clothes smell, even after we washed them when we got home! When we tried to reach someone to resolve the issue we reached a staff member twice (over the phone) but got disconnected both times. No one ever resolved the issue. The other part that we were not a fan of was that we paid tons of money to be on this resort but were turned away from the French themed restaurant because my fiancé did not have pants with on this trip- apparently that's their dress code. He did have dress shorts and a dress shirt on. Doesn't seem like the best policy for paying customers/guests. The last complaint is the OVERWHELMING smell of the air freshener in the main lobby area (which was unavoidable). The smell was literally nauseating :-(. Turn it down or off please! On a positive note, almost every single staff person we encountered on the trip were AMAZING! So kind and always smiling. The food was also very good!

We had a fabulous stay here. Food was great. Pools were great. We had the Excellence Club upgrade and were happy with the benefits. We enjoyed sitting in the peace and quiet on the far side of the resort by the lazy river. If you are looking for a more energetic atmosphere, that is available at the main pool as well. Only downside was the excess seaweed, but that is nothing against the resort. The entire stretch of beach had the same issue and it is impossible to stay on top of.

The resort was excellent. The food, drinks, property, etc was all amazing. The only issue we came across was that we were a girls group of 5 on a girls 50th bday trip. Most restaurants were more geared towards 2's/couples. One of the restaurants wouln't sit the 5 of us together, if we wanted to eat there then we would have had to have split up. And at the lobster house 3 of us wanted to eat breakfast on the little balconies over the water, but they wouldn't let us . They said it was only for 2 when there was so much room for 3 and in fact 4. It was a bit of situation and I escalated it. We were not going to have one girl sit by herself. After we said we would pay them some money they eventually let us.

I absolutely loved everything about this resort! The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, the rooms were spotless (they even cleaned them twice a day!), and the food options were fantastic—surprisingly varied for the size of the resort. The entertainment was also a lot of fun. My only note is that it feels more like a couples’ resort than one for a girls’ trip, but regardless, we had an amazing time and I would definitely return!

This place was amazing! We’ve done a ton of all inclusive and the food here was above and beyond! The staff was amazing. Hector at Chez Isabelle was so kind and made me feel incredibly special on my birthday. All of the variety of the restaurants was a plus as well. Hugo at the pool bar took great care of me on my 40th birthday. He was so kind and fun. Lots of laughs. Angel is the BEST activity director ever! He had me in tears we laughed so hard. Kept the energy going. Carlos was so good with helping us get to the room and giving us tips on what to do. The property was gorgeous. Well kept. It had a fun vibe to it but not spring break crazy which was so nice. Plenty of seating around the pool and beach. We were never left without a chair. I am not one to go to the same place twice but would definitely go back! Thank you Excellence for making my birthday one of the best birthdays ever!

This was our second stay here. We just love how this particular Excellence resort is so inviting. While their other resorts are newer, we didn't feel as comfortable as we do at this one. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and hilarious, and there is so much to do at this resort. The lazy river is unmatched compared to other resorts. The food is top notch and so much more flavorful than the other all-inclusives we've been to. The night events are a lot of fun as well. There are also plenty of daytime activities for those who like to be more engaged. The resort is huge, which allowed us to always find a new zone that fit our mood for that day. If we were more social, we could hang out at the party section by the music. If we were looking for a place to read by the pool, we would move near the spa. There are plenty of cuisines offered and bars everywhere. They also do not skimp on the alcohol! The concierge is great at helping to book excursions for those who are looking to explore.
