Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa Riviera Maya

The people are super friendly and honestly want to make your experience unique. The facilities are very nice, a bit old fashion so you need to like it (I do). The weekly program keeps you busy (yoga, tennis, cooking classes, theme dinners, trips). 24 hour service. Good food.

I think prices are a bit excessive but I learned this is the case in all Riviera Maya so I am not criticizing the Hotel necessarily but the destination. The restaurant serves good food but 100 $ for a BBQ buffet dinner or a Mexican buffet dinner it is too much in my opinion. All prices have an additional 16% service and 16% tax. you feel like you are in the US! In Mexico City for ex. you pay 100$ in the best restaurant in town with Michelin stars. 240 $ for a 50 min massage (I pay less in Switzerland in the same type of hotel!) I think they could balance by offering more complementary things (more yoga / Pilates class over the day for example, or nonalcoholic cocktails by the pool). I had to organize the trip to Tulum myself because they could not find a guide for the Friday and they work with only 1 tour operator that charged double the price of what I paid. Overall it is a good hotel and I had a good time but I am not sure I would travel 14h from EU for it.

Beautiful hotel and beautiful beach if there would be not the problem with the seagrass. The hotel makes everything in their power cleaning up daily this natural Desaster. It’s a pitty but the reality is different from what the hotel provides on pictures from the beach and the sea which I do not understand . I would communicate this subject transparent wit the customer. The kitchen / food is excellent but a bit to expensive. Same for wine and others .

Food was excellent . The provided cooking classes are super nice
