My first travel out of the country. We were assaulted with so many people and sales pitch. They took up 2 hours upon arrival checking us in and grilling us about ourselves. We kept declining because we did not have a chance to experience the resort for even one minute. In exchange for meeting them for breakfast for a promised short 30 minute sales pitch I declined massages a piece of jewelry etc and asked for a lot of extra coffee supplies for our room. The presentation stole 3 hours of our first morning in Mexico. I had to end it at 11 am by just getting up and walking out. Trying to get me to commit to a 10 year commitment for over 60 grand while ruining my first morning without the benefit of experiencing the resort is not cool!! It did ruin my first day! I was so upset because I kept explaining that to them. I only had 2 full days there. Also- NO EXTRA COFFEE EVER SHOWED UP. Only one cup of coffee a day per person. That’s not all inclusive to me. I will travel to Mexico again but not to any resort affiliated with this one.

We really enjoyed our week in the El Beso section of ORP. I think that the washrooms needed more signage, like in the lobby they are tucked to the side and you cant see where they are if you are on the other side of the bar there. The room had a bunch of little things incase we forgot to pack them (toothbrush/razor/sewing kit/q-tips/etc.) and that was a nice touch! Easy check-in and checkout. Long walk down to the rooms but there was a trolley you can catch which was great as well. We didn't have anything bad to say about the place, we loved the Italian restaurant and all of the servers were awesome :)

The room was great and the staff were really friendly and attentive. There were 2 things though that got our attention: 1. The mini bar was limited to 2 beer per day and there was no option to stock it with something else. I dont drive beer but we couldn't get anything else ie: tequila. The ad said "stocked mini bar". 2. The resort was billed as adults only however it isnt. There is a building on the property that is adults only. The rest of the property "which you have to interact with" is family friendly. So that was a bit of a shock as it wasnt advertised this way in the listing.

It was advertised as adults only but it certainly wasn’t. Almost every meal and everywhere we went except around one pool we had children around us crying or screaming. We went to the resort because it was advertised as adults only we feel like we were deceived. We won’t go back.

This is not an Adults only hotel, It has adults only rooms and a pool! After a 15-hour journey, or a 70 hour stay I experienced significant delays accessing my room due to repeated issues with the room key, which required multiple trips to reception in high temperatures. The first room assigned to me had a broken bed and a persistent damp odour in the room . After further delays another 3.5 hours I was moved to a second room, which was acceptable; however, the bathroom was in poor condition, with a broken shower and outdated facilities. Despite raising these concerns, I was informed that the hotel was now fully booked and no immediate alternative could be provided. Additionally, noise from a film projected outside my room was also not what I needed. I sent an email during the night to rate my checkin experience. Only then was I was eventually offered an alternative room late in the afternoon, but as I explained the timing terrible as I was leaving to go to a wedding at another hotel. Overall, this experience fell far below my expectations and was the most disappointing hotel stay I have had in recent memory. Even on checkout as I explained my issues I was told that "some guests do not share you opinion" Once again only in my opinion I have stayed at much better and not adults only.

We stayed at Ocean Riviera Paradise in the El Beso adults-only section and overall had a great experience. The resort is a good size — big enough to explore but not so large that you can’t walk everywhere. The property is very clean and well-kept, with lots of wildlife around, which gives it a nice tropical feel. Our room was cleaned daily, and the mini bar was always restocked, which we appreciated. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay, and service at the bars and restaurants was excellent. It never felt overcrowded, which made it easy to relax. There were plenty of dinner options, and we rarely ate at the buffet since the à la carte restaurants were so good. Our favorite was Blue Moon, which had great food for both breakfast and dinner, and the host there was always welcoming. A big shoutout to Lisandro, our concierge, who went above and beyond. Our mini fridge wasn’t working on the first day, and he got it fixed right away, then surprised us with a bottle of champagne and desserts. He also gave us a helpful checkout tip that saved us time and money at the airport. A couple of downsides — the beach is quite rocky, and there isn’t much space to relax by the water. Also, there are people around selling excursions and activities, but they’re never pushy and leave you alone if you say no. Overall, the food, cleanliness, and staff made for a really enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Ocean Riviera Paradise El Beso – Honest Review Overall, this resort has some nice highlights but also a few drawbacks. The rooms are spacious, modern, and very comfortable. The buffet offered a good variety of food, and the coffee shop and late-night snack bar (open until 6 am) were great perks. The margaritas at the Mexican restaurant were excellent — especially the jamaica margarita! The bowling alley was also a fun addition, even though playtime is limited to about 10 minutes per person. The main disappointment was the beach — very small, with large sandbag barriers and cloudy water that took away from the usual Caribbean charm. Entertainment was not as organized or lively as other resorts, and the prizes for games were always just a T-shirt. The shows at nights were at a much lower quality compared to other resorts. The nightclub felt more like a sports bar, and the DJ stuck to the same playlist all night without taking requests. The worst was the constant pressure to upgrade to their “Privilege” package got annoying after a while. The resort seemed to catered to Privilege guests only. In short, it’s a comfortable resort with decent food, great margaritas, and a few fun extras, but the beach, entertainment, and upselling take away from the overall experience.
