I’ve just returned from my brief but terrific stay on the Mayan Riviera. As a firm believer in peer reviewed travel destinations, I’ll give you the full rundown of my stay and an official ‘oh snap’ rating (for what that’s worth.) 
Food: Pretty good, great selection of restaurants, snack bars and buffets. The resort has five fine-dining sit-down restaurants which require reservations and semi-formal attire, but are worth the wait. No room service available, but they have take-out plates in the event that you’re suffering from Montezuma’s revenge to the point that you can’t leave your room.
Beach: so-so. It gets rocky several feet into the water and it’s not very big, but what they lack in soft white sand, they make up for in lots of beautiful sparkling blue pools with two swim up bars.
Grounds: Gorgeous. Each room has a terrace complete with patio furniture and a view of ocean or greenery. My room overlooked palm trees and bushes that were home to several blue crabs (awesome!)
People: Service was attentive and great, guests were fun and all ages, and there was enough to do to entertain everyone without any annoyances.
Overall stay: Wish it could’ve been longer. 3 nights simply wasn’t enough! I would certainly return for another long weekend in the future. I think my largest complaint was that the resort was a pretty long (1.5 hrs) haul from the airport. It ended up working out well, as I was able to get some shut eye on the ride over, but I wasn’t exactly prepared for that to take as much time as it did.
