"All meals are eaten in the buffet. Even though there are 3 other restaurants on the property you have to make a reservation and those are limited based on how many nights you are staying. While making a reservation she will try to get you to go to their sister location and listen to an hour plus long presentation. The property and beach area is small. I liked the evening shows and activities throughout the day. We always seemed to be able to find a lounge chair by the pool or the beach. Our room was cleaned daily. You basically get what you pay for."
"Would say this is a good budget hotel when traveling with small kids under 10. The water park kept our 4 and 6 yo. entertained most of the days during our 7 day stay. The playroom is very limited and would not keep older kids entertained more than a couple of hours. This hotel lacks in entertainment for guests. We have stayed at many Cancun hotels that have shows, music etc. throughout the property/pools and not much here. They have a theater tha "

Sunscape Cancun All-Inclusive Resort & Spa by Hyatt
8/10 Good
"We had a Junior Suite Double Beachfront with a king bed and full bed. We really liked being able to walk out directly to the beach. The room was spacious enough for a family of 4.
We only tried the italian restaurant and were not impressed, but we enjoyed the buffet restaurant (especially for breakfast!). They had vegetarian options every day, though I think they could have offered a couple more options.

Hotel Riu Palace Baja California - Adults Only - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"Our first stay at the RIU Palace in Cabo was at the adults-only Baja California, and overall it was a very pleasant experience. We’ve done a lot of all-inclusive cruises, but not many on land, so this was a different kind of trip for us.
The resort itself was nice and open-air. The service and staff were excellent and friendly at all times, the rooms were spacious, and there were plenty of dining options throughout our stay. The biggest pluses were the nice pools, beautiful views, lots of food, and clean, well-appointed rooms.
Just a few nitpick things. First, it’s 2026, and the Wi-Fi should be strong everywhere, but ours dropped every two to three minutes in most of the resort. Second, it would have been nice to have a few more vegetarian options, though I was still able to find something at most places. Third, the drink package is a nice perk, and the Elite package gives you better brands, but drinks like piña coladas, mai tais, and mojitos had a strange, perfume-like smell. Tropical drinks were a mess, and the wine selection was weak. Beer and straight hard drinks were fine.
The biggest letdown was the entertainment. Compared to a cruise, it’s subpar. There aren’t many activities, and most of the shows are dancing and lip-syncing. If you like to sit by the pool, relax, and have food included, this place works great. If you want more activity or better entertainment, there may be better options. Overall, I’d give it an 8 out of 10. A very pleasant place to stay and take "
Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"I have been here several times now. Here’s what sets excellence apart from other resorts: wide range of quality, restaurants, including Indian and Teppanyaki; high quality alcohol included, including 1921 tequila cream that is hard to find outside of Mexico; two story rooftop suite is fantastic; Excellence Club services (if you choose a room in that section) are very good. New reservations needed for restaurants, and all of them are included. The beach is large and sandy, not rocky. There’s a lazy river as well. "
