El hotel se encuentra dentro aproximadamente a unos 200 metros de la autopista al final de un camino de terracería. La entrada es muy atractiva y el personal de recepción amable. El servicio del hotel en sus áreas de alimentos y bebidas es muy precario ya que solo cuenta con una persona que brinda el servicio de barra y mesas para cuantos comensales tenga el área. Las porciones de comida son muy pequeñas y si se solicita otro platillo el personal se vuelve un tanto menos amable con gestos de disgusto. Las habitaciones les falta agua caliente, en solo un día gozamos de buena temperatura y el resto fue agua tibia, las llaves del agua en lavamanos tenían fuga y se filtraba hasta el piso. El WC estaba parcialmente desprendido arriesgando al huésped a sentarse y sentir que se movía. Durante toda la estancia el elevador no servía, obligando al huésped a subir y bajar por escaleras. El hotel contaba con mesa de billar, la cual estaba en terribles condiciones, chueca y rasgada, y tacos de golpeo chuecos. La imagen del hotel aunque no es la mejor no es mala, sin embargo el funcionamiento es bastante precario. Los accesos a la playa en ambos lados con escalones no uniformes y desnivelados sin un paso cómodo a la playa.

I stayed at Senses Riviera Maya for what was supposed to be my birthday trip. Unfortunately, the experience was unacceptable and forced me to leave in the middle of my stay for another resort. The problems included: Mold on the walls and overall poor cleanliness. Ongoing noisy renovations. No hot water for multiple days. Extremed limited food options compared to what was advertised. Discolored faucet water that felt unsafe to use. Instead of enjoying a milestone celebration, I was left frustrated, embarrassed, and disappointed. This resort did not provide the comfort, safety, or quality advertised. I would not recommend staying here.

Property was not like the pictures. Needs serious renovations. Food menu can be updated, steak everyday breakfast, lunch and dinner is excessive. Pool dirty definitely got bv from it and there is no ice machine or laundry on site. Getting a ride from the resort to downtown Cancun and back was 125$ rip off!

Great stay, met with some unexpected events (the elevator was inoperable during my stay but was repaired by the time I left. Things happen no problem I got more steps counts for the day literally. The Pool Plunge took too long to fill up due to piping issues,and again it was filled up the day I left so I didn't get to enjoy it. The reason I stated these hiccups is because I wanted to point out that management did take quick and reasonable actions to correct and accommodate me. The staff members Thomas, Sophie ,Victoria at the front desk were phenomenal! All employees were very cordial as well.

Everyone at the resort was very kind and accommodating. I do wish they had a better selection of food. The snack bar food was great. Dinner options just weren't our favorite. They stayed on top of anything we needed. Tomas was great in preparing us for the trip. And Jimena was wondeful with helping us with activities. I highly recommend the Cirque dinner experience.

I booked a 6-night stay for my birthday and had to leave after just one night. The room was unbearably humid and covered in black mold, which immediately triggered my asthma. I messaged the hotel right away with photos and explained my health concerns. They promised a manager would speak with me the next morning, but he was conveniently “unavailable” all day despite multiple attempts. The front desk offered another room, but I was too disgusted and worried for my health to stay. I checked out by early afternoon and moved to another hotel. Since then, the hotel has ignored all emails from me and Expedia requesting a refund. Extremely disappointed, this place is unsanitary and unprofessional.

Do not recommend pictures online way old Place is poorly maintained and not very clean. If you were to stumble on the place you would think it’s abandoned not one person I came across there thought it was a good place. It looked like it was once a nice romantic spot but it is mismanaged. The staff was nice but beyond that place is a dump

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was quiet and perfect for relaxing. The staff was excellent and very friendly. I gave it 4 stars as there were a number of areas that need to be addressed. Drawbacks - There is only one restaurant and the choices where very limited. I had to complain to the chef as the same menu was served three times during our stay. I must say that he did listen and changed it up. The infinity pool is the only feature of the property. However it does need a complete makeover. The pool has many loose tiles. The beach next to the property is not safe for swimming and has a lot of seaweed, but just down the steps on the one side you can walk a short distance to a safe swimmable beach. I understand that the property is under new management and a makeover is planed.
