Positive :

The hotel is carefully maintained, the gardens are attractive and the room is beautiful to lie. The service is impeccable, the staff friendly and respectful. If you chose "bouncer" as a tour operator, we are overjoyed. Club Regency offered by Transat is impeccable, generous and worthwhile. Trays of dried fruit on arrival, bottle of alcohol, dressing gown, slippers, concierge service with which you can organize all your reservations for a la carte restaurant, room service included and you can enjoy both the ordis office club bouncer to take your emails ... when they are available! ... If you can afford, with the club regency access pool is really "gorgeous" especially if you are located beside Riviera. (morning sun ) As against the balconies in the sun during the late afternoon, we must choose the next sunset. You can walk on the beach for hours ... two hours to get to Playa del Carmen. The sports center is normally fitted. By cons you might as well walk at a brisk pace around the hotel and you are served next year so it's great. Swim through all pools from start to finish takes about 35 minutes and it's very nice!

Negative :

It is compulsory to bring beach shoes to enjoy the sea Many corals and rocks. You may be disappointed otherwise. This hotel can not access its five stars because of the food offered. Indeed, it is "okay" and nothing more. By cons it's worth to try the Thai restaurant on the beach which has an arrangement with the hotel, while being independent. ($ 50) But it's worth significantly more than the a la carte restaurants of the hotel. Please remember the restaurant called "La Fondue"! The beach is quite tight rope. Get up early to go on a little intimiter. The staff wants your U.S. dollars. They never change for Mexican pesos ... It is much cheaper to bring U.S. dollars.

Positive :

We plane the lagoon villa, private pool very quiet adult with Time Offer bed and lounge chair wooden high qualiter, outdoor shower really beautiful, the spa pool is very good therapeutic!

Negative :

The food is anomalous, c mangable pasable but really very far from 5 star (this is a 4 star hotel not a 5 in passing ..), since the resort was open when we can go so you can meter the lack of of personal jurisdiction over her ..

Positive :

Clean and very well entretenu.Amenez you shoes of water (necessary) as there are plenty of rock and even with the shoes be careful as the pins can revirer'' in the water '. The water is clear when there is little wave. the sand is beautiful and you can walk on the beach on a long distance.avec the regency room'''' s air transat vault is included, a bottle of tequila and a private dinner buffets with an al two Mexican singers we are many quebecois aprécié.il has hôtel.le this wine is simple .... it's was bringing the wine saaq duty free ... but we can not do open the restaurant a la carte unlike our trip précédent.personnel courtois.si smiling and you wish to go to the playa Delcarmen taxi costs $ 13 $ us .. For excursition we have been seeing the Mayan ruins at Tulum hotel with prices .. 90 each us ... we opt instead to take a taxi to the hotel til playadelcarmen ($ 13) and then take a taxi collectivo $ 14 (which is a taxi for residents) which then brings you up al entrance to the ruins and saved many dollars.trajet safe and the beach at the bottom of the ruins is quite spectacular rock and no water is gorgeous, we have to spend all afternoon after the tour unlike al everything is'' timer''. the collectivo arrest you through the ruins the road about 5 minutes walk on the street and there are Mayan ruins! you can also cassr crust eateries on the street causing you to ruin! not to be missed.

Negative :

no Mexican music. at lunch you can hear the music as follows: nirvana, metallica and acdc background music!! .. pretty amazing but vrai.si you want to go to the beach bar, expect to wait about 5 to 10 minutes for you to serve your drinks and they are no longer mixed at the beach bar .... there should be at least one more bar on the beach ..... the buffet is very repetitive and on your lunch hour can expect to wait in line several minutes before being able to grill you on servir.aucun plage.il you are a cook who prepares your dish to your liking but he is alone, then you have to wait .. the addition of a cook would make to improve the quality and speed of service. evenings ago tjr performances in the lobby who are returning regularly interessants.les comments of other travelers: 4 star hotel more qualified that a 5 star because of the wait at the restaurant and bar!

Positive :

I Touve very nice hotel worthy of 5 stars both in the general appearance and cleanliness of the site is beautiful with a nice végétation.La beach is very beautiful and hope for a long long walk . We buy our Regency Club and has come ons upgrade platinum.Ce us who made our bonheur.Du the fact that ns were platinum (sunset side) there was a section reserved to the beach, we could book the restaurant a la carte as we like with our concierge.Les restaurants are good in general but especially the Japanese, which is very bonLa room was near the beach with jacuzzi in the room and on the balcon.En We basically stayed adorésNous surprised because there was a fairly young clientele (25 years old) that were seen mainly soir.Mais no problems in general it was very bien.Je recommend this hotel but with reservations on certain points.

Negative :

The most disappointing but we knew before we left the sea or is it absolutely necessary to get in shoes as there are the rock mass which is very dangerous because we saw people with qq crutch or a kind of supports ( orthesis) for genoux.Les buffet lunch at the pool is no longer very noisy especially at lunch and diner.C 'was strong enough at times that we had the misery has to understand each evening there is little activities here qq la.Au lobby and the evening was the central square, there's music a chance because the shows are really plattes.La disco is good too but there bcp back and forth because it is the only bar that stays open late . The site is very great so long but with the shuttle service this happened most of the time.

Positive :

Superb hotel. The site is beautiful. The junior suite deluxe rooms are very beautiful regency, whirlpool included. Excellent food, especially the a la carte restaurants. HUMM! You can eat on a terrace at certain restaurants a la carte, which is very agreeable. All the hotel staff is really nice. The beach is great (although very crowded) and beautiful, with palm trees. We did a very nice trip. We travel 2 times a year and we certainly recommend this hotel.

Negative :

Hotel very family (well, especially the week of Thanksgiving). Pool for adults only unidentified, so children everywhere. Sometimes the food at the buffet near the beach was warm. Seafood Restaurant discouraged unless you like squid lot. Do not forget shoes to go into the sea because many rocks and corals especially when entering the sea

Positive :

Junior suites very spacious and clean. Hotel impeccable. The site is beautiful and it is easy to navigate. Sunset Princess sections and are located opposite one another. Everything is similar (no section is more advantaged than the other). People who purchase a package Transat Club Regency receive some additional benefits (eg.: Beach towels in room upon arrival, a bottle of Tequila + 3 bottles of alcohol, bathrobe and slippers, other). There is an office Transat at the hotel. Representatives are present from 8.30 to 18.00 every day! The free shuttle to Playa Del Carmen is very handy (U.S. $ 13 one way by taxi!). However, it should reserve seats a day in advance. We had no problem finding chairs at the beach free. Finally, we recommend the a la carte restaurant The Miso (Japanese).

Negative :

It is true that there are many rocks in the sea The problem is easily solved by putting beach shoes. The staff speak very little French (the only forms of address). Speaking English is necessary and if you speak some Spanish, you will get almost anything you want. In general, the food is good in the buffets as in a la carte restaurants. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is cold (little or no music, sound of dishes, strong lighting). It's too bad for a 5 star ...

Positive :

The hotel is very nice and the rooms are very spacious. Go see the ruins at Tulum, it is really worth and also go for a ride to Playa del Carmen (just 15 minutes by taxi).

Negative :

The hotel is beautiful too big, it's a huge complex! We stayed from December 14 to 23 and there were so many children and people who traveled in groups that it was difficult to find a quiet place to relax. Our room was near the beach so we had to walk a good 10 minutes to get to the lobby and restaurants to choose from ... Our biggest disappointment of the trip is that there is no place to eat outside. This is my eighth trip to an all-inclusive and the first time I see it. We had to take lunch and dinner buffet conditioning and echo ultra ... for dinner, we tried as much as possible to eat a la carte restaurants that have a small outdoor space. We are far from a dinner on the seaside, it was rather like eating on a terrace area Dix30 in Brossard ... The staff was not friendly and the service was poor. Also, if you're hungry between 15 and 18 h 30 h 30, there is the sports bar which is open to 20 minute walk to and from the beach and offers nachos and hot dogs. only. This is definitely not a 5 star. In short, I would not recommend this hotel.

Positive :

This is a very large complex, especially considering that this is a combination of the Riviera and Sunset. The site is beautiful and well appointed. Everything is spotlessly clean and maintained continuously. We were at the Riviera and in room 6006, the closer to the beach if we except the rooms in the Platinum category. A walk of 10 minutes was required between our room and the main building, and 5 minutes to the beach. The sand of the beach is nice and clean, but to enjoy the sea must have water shoes. We were in a deluxe junior suite, a good size room with flat screen television and American film every night. There are enough chairs for everyone at the beach, but for pools work is harder. The pools offer many different environments (entertainment, family, relaxation ....) which is very good. Mexicans are very nice and give you a great service you tips or not. What is important.

Negative :

The buffet was highly repetitive, especially if you do not like frying. Americans present seemed happy. There are many a la carte restaurants and reservations are easy, but none stands out.

Positive :

premium deluxe junior suite, with Vac. Air Transat. The room was beautiful, spacious, Zen decor impeccable, with a whirlpool and a large separate shower. the toilet is insulated with a separate door. an opening in the bathroom to the bedroom can be opened with large sliding glass panels. gleaming marble floor every day. many water bodies on the site. Clean and well maintained vegetation. Many pools, bridges, fountains. The lobby is large and magnifique.Grands buffet with good choice of food, nice variety. many a la carte restaurants. We tried the Miso, Japanese, excellent. Tansport free appointment to Playa Del Carmen each day, the beach and the beach Kool Mamitas are very beautiful, $ 7 us to rent your long chair with cousin for the day. If you go by taxi is $ 14 and $ 14 go us us back. After the beach there is a nice atmosphere on 5th Avenue and many restaurants and nightclubs!

Negative :

For reservations for a la carte restaurants you must go to 8ham without fault if you wait at least 1 hour to access their reservation information. We can book dinner two at a time without exception. The decoration of the restaurant is very simplice. no originality in that direction. The beach is our biggest disappointment (7déc. to December 14) Narrow beach, everyone is strung like sardines, it's not the beach of Punta Cana! Many rocks in the sand up to the sea, about 10 feet in the water, swimmers must have sandals dive to avoid being hurt. In the evening there's a band outdoors is very correct, more persons in rejoingnent to dance but they stop at 22:30 and there is no other music, dead calm. There is the disco but very few visitors. This was our 4th and final visit to Riv. Maya for a long time!
