Overall Ratings & Reviews Princess Family Club Riviera - All Inclusive

This place is amazing! We went as a family and I loved how they had a little bit of everything for every age range in the Princess Family side of the resort. The rooms are very spacious and clean. Food is so good with different themes every day. Different buffets to try. Really liked how they had activities for the kids throughout the day and the kids pool section was super close to our room! Highly recommend, and would book here in the future for sure!

The property was a nice place to stay. However, no where to do laundry. Great pools though. The food was horrible. Every single place. If you’re a foodie then this is not for you. Staff was nice.

It was ok. They are very pushy trying to get you to become a privileged member. I would not go back.

Wasn’t very accommodating for a big group traveling together that wanted to eat a dinner together for a birthday celebration. Not a lot to do. Had to shuttle (pay) to town to eat good.

No connecting rooms

We were not told the property was under construction and the food was not good.

The room was not as pictured, it was definitely older than we expected. The staff was okay for the most part, but 2 staff members in particular were really rude to us for having triplets. One of them was the train driver, his name Bernabe who didn’t want us using our stroller. He made a comment along the lines of people being so insensitive bringing big A$$ strollers into the train. I told him my husband and I were outnumbered, and if I had only one child, I would not be bringing a stroller; but we have triplets. On top of that he was blocking us from getting on the tram. The other member was from the family club who spoke too fast and wasn’t flexible to us regarding the hours. Yes, we went 18 mins before closing, but she said she needed that time to clean, she had a lot of attitude towards us. Definitely not appropriate, her coworker was a lot more understanding and let us play for a little bit, we helped clean up the toys. Everyone else was very nice and attentive to us. On the first day they wanted us to get a “free” VIP breakfast and gift, it was a waste of our time. They wanted us to buy shares. They were very annoying, especially knowing we went for vacation not for business. There was also nothing VIP about the breakfast. The food was mediocre at best. Lots of reconstruction, which meant a lot of walking and nothing in between point A and point B. Although the wildlife did make up for the long walk in between. Creeps in the kids pool & no security.

It’s all inclusive which I enjoyed. It is very family friendly. They have an ice cream shop inside the resort with unlimited access. The food was good. They always have activities going on thru the day. Would definitely come back.

🌴 🌴 We had such a great experience — from the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and family-oriented. The kids' pool was a big hit with my son, and the ice cream shop was his favourite treat every afternoon 🍦😊. The food was amazing, with a great variety and delicious flavours every day. A special thank you to the Family Club team — Víctor, Araceli, Elizabeth, Isaac, and Remigio — all of whom were incredibly attentive and kind. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We even had a lovely birthday celebration for my husband, which made our stay even more memorable 🎉🎂. All the staff were friendly, especially with my little boy — always greeting him with a smile and making sure he was happy. The small touches and warm service really made a difference. Highly recommend staying here with kids — everything is tailored for families and you’ll feel the love from everyone around 💛.

Great service

Everyone was very friendly

The hotel is huge and amenities are very limited. The staff greets you with selling their timeshare versus showing what hotel has to offer. So it’s hard to know where to go which direction or what food areas are there or even to find bars/drink stations. There is only one elevator at the building in family section so the distance to walk is pretty far. I wouldn’t recommend to parents with strollers to go as it is a hastle and very hard in heat. I choose this hotel for family kids mainly but the kids club is only from ages 4 and up. Kids that are younger didn’t have any activities before noon. Everything is from 1-4pm which is inconvenient. The beach is covered with seaweeds so no beach either only pools are the entertainment. The forest around the hotel is nice lot’s of animals and wild life. Food quality in the family buffet is just horrible. It seems like they put leftovers in there from prior day or something. The only one buffet that was good is riviera buffet. The food choices are same in each buffet with slight variation. Reservations in the restaurant was hard to make if you come in on weekends because everything gets booked 3 days in advance. But even with that the restaurants are not so busy. The service is better at some places, food is okay. Overall I probably would pass on this hotel in the future, because of its size and not much to do other than pools and greenery.

The rooms were great and the AC worked very well. The jetted tub was nice. It was helpful to have multiple restaurants throughout the resort. The food was hit or miss, not terrible but not great. We loved the ice cream parlor. There was a good variety of pools. The beach was horrible. I'm not even sure it was open because of all the sargasso. It smelled really bad too. We would consider staying here again, but may check out other options first.

We stayed at the Family club in the resort. It’s nice and clean, good was decent (except room service). Staff was great, but This is the first time I stayed in all inclusive resort that’s not all inclusive when it comes to food after a certain time. After 10:30 room service is not free! That’s a bit complicated when traveling with a 2 year old like I do and because of different time zones kid is waking up at 11 asking for food. Hence why I had to order room service and food was sub par. Also there is also a resort fee for daily stay at the resort which I didn’t know until I was checking in and half the hotel is under renovation that limits pools and entertainment. Entertainment was lacking.

Place was nice ,very clean. Workers very friendly. Very nice place. I will go again.

Friendly stuff, and good rooms. The food could be slightly better. Being at the sea, I was expecting more sea food, especially varieties of fish.

This was our 8th visit, and although the VIP package which was previously honored was not this time, it also didn't change my review. We have been many times; the renovation was similar to traveling here during covid. The only thing I would say could be re-evaluated is the evening show. The theater is really an amazing spot for patrons and performers and although outside was ok for some, people who are older or with limited mobility had an obvious hard time enjoying. One night it rained, and the show was moved to the disco club, which was a bit chaotic but manageable. Its seaweed season beach was as best as the hard-working staff could do. The new taco station by the beach bar was a great idea. There was a noticeable decrease in wildlife from previous visits. The staff all were kind and worked hard. It would have taken some strain off the bar tenders to have 2 or more at the swim up bars at all times but still wait time wasn't long. Check-in was efficient and pleasant. Our room was clean and ready for our stay. Overall, we would return again.

The staff were very friendly. Food was superb. Pools were super clean. Everything was accessible. I will visit again :)

Very disappointed with resort. Came here last year and had a great time so we decided to come back this year. When we booked we were not told that half the resort was closed down and there would not be as many restaurant's and bars operating as last year. One main buffet instead of two, sports bar closed, but moved to a make shift room with some TV's hanging on the walls and a bar, sort of bar you would find at a 2 to 3 star resort. some restaurants closed, so your choice for eating at specialty restaurants was limited, if you could get a booking !. No air-conditioned Theater, had to sit outside around a make shift stage in above 30.c to watch the shows. no bars in that area, you needed waiter service to get a drink, along with a few hundred other vacationers. When we complained we where told Expedia was to blame for not telling us about the renovations, but we told them it was their site we looked at before booking, and it was still posting everything was operating as normal. when you get there you are given a map of half of the resort, that's when we knew we had been misled by the resort and the travel agent. If you are looking to book this resort I would think twice about it. Our vacation which our family (2 rooms) was looking forward to for months was a complete disappointment. They should at least refund a portion of our money because this was not the resort as advertised. If we had known about the renovations we would not have booked this resort.

Nice staff and facilities. Must try out
