The Good: The hotel is pretty well maintained, and the landscape looks really well. The food is okay but I was hoping for more local food. The bell boys were very helpful as well as the bartenders. The show were excellent (especially the Madonna Show) and the Kids Club took very good care of my granddaughter. The Not So Good... more

The hotel itself is nice...the beach is beautiful!! We were not impressed at all with the food. The buffet was not good....not even the hamburgers or hot dogs. We were only able to try one of the specialty restaurants. We arrived on Monday around noon so I went down Tuesday morning to book the restaurants for the week....however, we were... more

Overall myself and my partner had a great holiday. Rooms The rooms were of fair standard for what was in them, clean with modern bathrooms so don't expect 5 star and you won't be disappointed, it's a good 3 star. The aircon worked great but was very loud but on the plus side you didn't have to have it on... more

Long trip from Manchester to Mexico - 10 hour flight but went fairly quick. On the go for over 24 hours in total - children got a little tired towards the end - expectable! Arrived at airport, collected by taxi and then taken to Viva Maya hotel. Met with drinks - quickly allocated room and luggage was taken to our... more

I went with a group of 6 friends to the Maya and overall enjoyed our stay minus a few really ugly moments. (Make sure to rread "the ugly" further down in my review) The good: The hotel (minus the rooms) is quite beautiful with lots of natural wildlife and animals to see. The best part of the hotel was the... more

Just got back from a quick 5 day vacation with my 3 boys (12/12/10). We had a great time. The water is awesome - both pool and ocean - the food's great, the rooms are ok and everyone is smiling. I'd highly recommend this as a family vacation place. If you go, make sure you book the snorkling tour. It's... more

This a great hotel but the beach was a little small, it was well kept and the staff was friendly. Food was average for an all inclusive hotel. Shows were nice and entertaining, my kids really seemed to enjoy the kids show and thought the after show was alot of fun also..Staff works really hard to try to please. more

I am surprised at how positive a lot of the reviews are. There is nothing terribly wrong with this property, just nothing that is really great. If I had to pick one real negative, it is how they allow people to "claim" the pool chairs. If you aren't out there by 6:30 am, all chairs next to umbrellas have already... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Viva Wyndham Maya from July 19 - 26/2008. We normally stay at Adults Only properties in Cancun but really wanted to give Playa del Carmen a try. We picked this hotel because it is very close to town and also for the Adults Only pool option. We arrived and were told to come... more
