Viva Maya by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort

We loved Viva Maya! The restaurant staff were so welcoming and helpful. On the first day staff was readily available to answer any questions we had.

No beverages in mini fridge like most resorts. The Mexican restaurant was good, but we thought that they would have more of a taco variety. The Italian restaurant had no pasta options as far as regular spaghetti with meatballs and sauce. The buffets for breakfast lunch and dinner had a lot of options. However there was some very weird combinations like nachos with a bunch of different stuff for breakfast. We did like that there was a snack bar opened all night long. The café had a lot of good pastries and different beverages like cappuccinos, espresso, and coffee.

Traveled with 9 people, ages 15 to 70. We booked 5 rooms. • Check in process - confusing and they acted like we were inconveniencing them. • Rooms: 1) a handle literally fell off the room door upon opening & they said they’d have it fixed in 15 minutes. We waited for over an hour to fix & had to remind them. 2) 1st day there there was no running water on our whole level. 3) Patios are TINY - like 2’ by 4’. 4) Air conditioning barely kept up. 5) Don’t expect normal toiletries, they only provide shampoo and shower gel. 6) Beds are comfortable. 7) Mini fridges are not stocked. • Cellular and Wi-Fi - horrible service for internet, calls and texts. It was impossible to stay in touch with the rest of our party. • Beach - terrible with sargassum & the smell was horrendous. Although I won’t fault the resort for Mother Nature’s doings. It’s probably nice other times of the year. Plenty seating. • Pool - standard. Plenty seating. • Check out process - AWFUL. If you don’t have every single scrap of required stuff they charge you! It’s their way of nickel-and-diming you! Lost a towel key? $20 USD. Lost a room key? $10 USD. They even cut off your bracelet & if you don’t have it (say it’s the last night and it’s bothering you so you remove it) it’s $10. They give you a tiny scrap of paper when you finish checking out and if you don’t have that when you get into your transportation, it’s like they won’t let you leave. Just awful to be scrambling for that kind of thing on the way out.

I enjoyed the all inclusive services : excellent meals ,beach sports especially the sailing and the staff were professional. I felt safe there ,used their safety box. Enjoyed my tours outside the resort too . Great arrangement by the concierge and I got gift 😍👍

Great resort, good food, nice location, easy access to Playa Del Carmen. Only downfall is seaweed on the beach is horrible. Best to go Oct to April.

As an experienced traveler customer service was the worse ever. No explanation from staff when questions ask or rational of their answers compared to other facilities I have been. For a hotel chain with great expectations I was dumbfounded.
