Brutally Honest Review
560tair on Feb 07, 2026
I stayed at Ocean Riviera Paradise in Playa del Carmen and wanted to give a straight, honest rundown. Size of the resort The place is huge, but I see that as a positive. A lot of reviews complain about the size, but I never needed a buggy once. Unless you have mobility issues, it’s fine and makes the resort feel open. Beach and beach pool The beach is narrow but looks great. No sargassum at all during my stay, though it’s January so that’s expected. The beach pool also looks really nice and has a relaxed vibe. The downside is the lack of shaded loungers. Only a few have umbrellas or canopies. The rest are packed close together which makes it feel cramped. There’s no music at this pool. The main family pool has music and loads of loungers, but being surrounded by buildings isn’t really my scene. Service Front desk staff at check-in were rude and had a strange arrogant attitude. Everyone else around the resort has been friendly, so this stood out. They weren’t helpful when I asked for things. Room issues Rooms are big and nicely decorated. You can tell they’ve been updated in the last few years, although the bathrooms could use a bit more care. Two things really annoyed me. There’s no kettle in the room which I needed for sterilising bottles. They said they only have around twenty for the entire resort and none were available. This is basic stuff that even small hotels usually provide. The crib they gave us had no mattress. They folded sheets to create one which was pointless. No child would sleep on that. We didn’t use it and had our son sleep with us. Without these two issues the resort probably would have been a 4. If you need to sterilise bottles, don’t use tap water unless it’s boiled. The filtered water machine in the Daisy block (building 2) worked fine for the bucket plus Milton tablet method. Illness My son caught hand, foot and mouth during the stay which he likely picked up from the pool. The resort obviously can’t control this, but with how many kids are here it’s something to keep in mind because illnesses spread easily in busy family resorts. Food Food across the buffet and the a la carte restaurants is average. The steakhouse was bad. I didn’t try the Japanese because you have to queue for about thirty minutes just to reserve and you might still end up with a 10pm slot. The other restaurants can be booked at 8.30am on the app and a few are walk-in. Pools All the pools were freezing. None are heated which isn’t ideal in winter. Timeshare pressure A lot of reviewers talk about getting trapped in timeshare style sales pitches. I avoided this by not accepting anything free. If anyone calls your room or approaches you in the lobby offering something free, just decline. It saves you the hassle. Transport InDrive is much cheaper than letting the hotel call you a taxi. The hotel tried to put me off by mentioning safety. Do your own research and decide what you’re comfortable with. Final thoughts The resort has some lovely areas and the grounds look good, but a few basic issues drag it down. With warmer pools and better attention to simple things, it could score much higher.
