Hotel All Riviera (Playa del Carmen, Mexico)

With direct access to the beautiful beach and warm golden sands, many guests decided to pack a picnic basket for the day and soak up the sun. They loved the ideal location that came at a really economical price tag too.

The ferry terminal is just a few steps away from the hotel, if you need to catch the bus to town, then you will find that ideally located just down the road within a five-minute walk. Many guests preferred to leave their own vehicles at home and rather rely on the excellent public services.

If you are not in the habit of spending half the morning filling up on a buffet breakfast, then this early morning start will suite you just fine. The breakfast has been described by guests as basic, tasty and wholesome.

The beds are not all that comfortable, the furniture is out-dated, and the room is not fitted with too many luxuries. Guests said they tried to spend most of their time out and about taking in all the area has to offer.

There have been numerous complaints about all the extra charges attached to the booking. If you want to warm up food in the microwave you have to pay extra, and guests who need to make use of the on-site safe will have to cough up extra for that too.

Don't expect to be pampered at this hotel. Guests were rather disappointed with the lack of hospitality on the part of the staff, and felt that they could have been more helpful in most areas.
