Can’t wait to go back!

Montreal

We booked in privileged club which we enjoyed immensely because we wanted total peace of mind, and that is exactly what we got... excellent personalized attention from the staff, reserved bali bed on the beach everyday, excellent food, fresh lobster any night, pristine premises, large and comfortable room in golden section, impressive room service. One of our worries was the situation with algae at the beach. We were fortunate that it only appeared on 2 days out of 9, and with minimal accumulation. Our thanks to the excellent staff, Alex, Kathe, Mau, Jared, Daniel, Jorge and Marisol, just to name a few. See you in December!

Fabulous break

Spent 5 days relaxing (sort of) after business in Mexico City. What an oasis of peace. Beautiful Hotel and grounds - we were situated away from the main pool area - which is quite lively and could be noisy if you just want to chill. The blocks around the meandering pool was quiet and relaxing provided you could get a lounger. Annoyingly other guests though it was Ok to leave towels to reserve loungers for the entire day while they were out ! Restaurants are all wonderful - particularly liked the Japanese and French but not one bad meal and we tried most of them. Buffet breakfasts were brilliant - and lunches, be prepared to gain weight ! You sometimes need to wait 20 mins but can take a drink in the square and relax. Evening entertainment was also very good - check out the days agenda so you can be prepared and not miss interesting events. On site snorkelling service is also good. The beach did have some of the dreaded algae/weed but they tried to keep it clean and you could still swim. Lots of trips to take from the location - we hired a car for 2 days and took ourselves to Chichen Itsa, Akumal and Merida ( have to say I wouldn't bother with Merida again). Driving is fine - but not particularly scenic until you get to your destination. Staff were helpful and attentive - would definitely stay again. Watch out for the band of Coatimundi in the grounds and very large lizards!

We Love this Awesome Resort!!!

San Carlos, California

This is our third time staying at Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya and we love it!!! We were pleasantly surprised that most of the staff remembered us from previous years. They even recalled small details like our names and preferences. The staff are really what makes this resort extra special and a true pleasure to stay at. We have been to various all inclusive resorts but this is our preferred resort for all our future trips to Mexico because they over exceed the following elements: service, food, drinks, entertainment staff, wait staff, resort facilities, pool, and beach. When we are here we know the resort will be beautiful and we can just relax and enjoy the great food and drinks. All the staff are extremely professional and friendly. I really enjoy interacting with the entertainment staff which is fun and lighthearted. The entertainment staff is more personable then other resorts. Things We Like: *No time share pitches *No hassle with beach towels *No restaurant reservations needed except for Hibachi (Men are required to wear nice dress shoes) *Breakfast and lunch buffets are awesome with nice Mexican dishes *Various nice restaurants for dinner *The rooms are clean with nice maid service *Large pools, nice large beach, large and beautiful grounds *Eco friendly baby turtle program- they protect turtle eggs in an enclosure. *Eco friendly touches such as glass water bottles and no straws unless requested to reduce single use plastics. *Fun activities with entertainment staff *You can decide if you want a quiet beach or pool day or fun and chatty day with music depending on where you decide to hang out *Nice bars *Less mosquitos than other resorts in the area *Tap water does not have a strange odor *Rooms for changing clothes and taking showers (great for later check outs and early check ins) *Music Music Music- great music during the day and in the evening there are different types of live bands each day. I would like it if there was more Latin music though. List of Staff Made our Stay Special: (** Staff that remembered us from previous years) L'Alsace Restaurant- Delfino the Chef checked in with us and talked about his amazing menu last year. His menu and food are still amazing and we love going to his restaurant every night! Abigail is a very nice hostess that greets us with a smile every time. Jesus and Miguel are great waiters Teresa is a nice waitress Ramon is a fantastic Manager that makes us feel special The cello musician adds a really nice touch to the restaurant. Mar & Tierra Buffet Restaurant- **Luis is an absolutely exceptional waiter- he remembered my name and said hi immediately. Beach Bar: **Joel makes the best drinks and is very nice and friendly. We would go out of our way to get drinks from him. Pool Bar: This year the bartenders at the swim up bars seemed overwhelmed. Perhaps there needs to be more bartenders at the pool bars. The Go Entertainment Team: Super fun - hardworking team Anahi Rodolfo Leo Lorenzo Daniels Fernanda Zyanya Edgar Carolina Luz Bryan Jared Beach: Jared - is a nice beach site manager. He makes us feel special and took very good care of us. The resort should have rules for cabanas though because on multiple occasions groups of loud people would share a cabana and smoke and spoke loudly which completely ruined the relaxing and nice atmosphere. The cabanas should be for couples that want a relaxing quiet and romantic day at the beach. We highly recommended Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya. We will definitely return next year.
