The resort staff were friendly and helpful. When I arrived my bag was left at the entrance to be delivered to my room. I was given a drink at check-in and received a free upgrade to my room. The beach was beautiful and free of seaweed. I do recommend swimming shoes due to the shells and rocks. There were daily pool activities and tons of entertainment options including a theatre, disco, bowling and more. I enjoyed my spa day which included a massage, facial and hydrotherapy. The amenities were ok but some items such as slippers and cups for refreshments were not stocked in the spa. This didn't take away from how great I felt after my spa treatments. Overall it was a nice resort that I would visit again.

If you’re looking for an adult resort go somewhere else. There is only one adult only restaurant and it’s not open every night or morning. One adult pool other than that you are going to be around children. Lots of children. I give the food 4 out of 10.. The rooms were clean and nice. The staff in general are not friendly especially in the sports bar where children are welcome. Also don’t bring your pick ball paddle they have a basketball court and a portable net.. I would highly recommend you stay here if you have small children.

We have went to 20 different properties in the Cancun, playa del Carmen area and this is the worse resort we have been to. It is very misleading when it says adult only resort. We have been to a resort where one half is kids and one half adults so we are familiar with that idea. That resort lived up to its advertising not this one. The only area that is adults only is 1 pool, 2 restaurants and occasionally the buffet and your hotel room. This is a very kids oriented resort. Tons of stuff including activities for kids to do and they are all over. The food was subpar. The buffet was not good and never changed menu. There is an adults only side to the buffet at night time but there were times when kids were even in that area.The speciality restaurants were fairly decent. The restaurant by the ocean was good. We have never been to a resort with such bad service both in restaurants and pool and ocean side. We found maria the very last day at the ocean she was very good for bringing drinks. Becareful when walking on the pedestrian sidewalk there is little lips in the blocks and i seen many people trip, we walked on the road. Pablo was excellent for being our main contact. Once guest service found out we were not happy they contacted us every day to see how we were. Them contacting us every day was not going to help our experience

We really enjoyed our stay at El Beso Ocean Riviera. Pros- The beach at the resort is beautiful! The staff work hard at keeping it clean and free of seaweed. The food is excellent, we loved the diversity of choices for restaurants, the Italian place was fantastic and even the food at the buffet was better than expected. Great service at most places, Merlin in the lobby lounge was a fav for us! Cons- THIS IS NOT AN ADULT ONLY EXPERIENCE. We booked in El Beso adult only. The building itself was adult only, and they do offer an adult only pool, but if you're looking for a kid free holiday, this is not the resort for you. There is 1 adult only dining option available for breakfast and open sometimes for dinner. Twice we attempted to go for dinner and there was a wait as the "privilege" guests can book, even though it was supposed to be first come first serve. Overall it was fine for us as we dont mind kids, but it would be a very big let down if you are expecting an adult only experience. The rooms are also a little bit tired and could use some updating.

The combo deal was really attractive but the resort is more than 8 years now and you noticed a lot of the condition has not been maintained well. Repairs are done sloppy and wall batches are covered with beige colour painter’s tape instead of proper batches and paint. Wooden doors are no longer smooth and makes a lot of noises when opening them. Even garbage bins in the washroom have broken steps. Overall the design and set up is nice but the scent they used in the rooms created a weird after smell with the old furniture. The amenities and programs are nice but food quality is also off. None of the dishes are cooked properly to represent that specific dish. Staffs are AMAZING and that made a difference. The resort had a presentation portion they offer guests to attend in return for some coupon and resort voucher. Is a sell pitch presentation and most resorts or tours in other countries offer similar. They do summarize the purpose in advance but can be lengthy. Overall still enjoyed the deal and the location but well deceived from selecting this resort based on pictures.

My BF & I stayed for 7 days/6 nights & we had an amazing time! Last year we stayed at Ocean Blue & Sand in the DR (owned by H10) & it was a total upgrade! Ocean Riviera Paradise was significantly cleaner, had more activities to do & the overall atmosphere was amazing! We stayed in the adults only section of the resort & I was a little worried that kids would be able to sneak in however, every section is completely separated & no matter how loud the music was, you wouldn’t be able to hear it from the other sections. Room was fantastic, no complaints. Service was excellent, especially Alfonso at the swim-up bar! So sweet & a great bar tender! Food was amazing overall. This was the first resort that I’ve been to where the restaurants are actually better than the buffet. Blue Moon & the Italian are a must! Another nice surprise for me, there was turkey bacon!! It was a pleasant surprise to have that available. My only complaints is that while we were there, the weather was a bit chilly & unless you were drunk, the pool was very cold. The ocean was significantly warmer than the pools. My other concern is that we were on the first floor & in the back when you are walking to your room, there is an opening thats mostly covered by plants. However, at night time, there were raccoons. We first saw them digging through the garbage right as you are about to exit the building & we also saw them as we were exiting our room. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back again!

Our experience was terrible. It is not adults only, you get 1 pool and 1 restaurant with no kids. It was not all inclusive. They tried to upsell us on everything. We couldn't even sit at tables that didn't have reserved signs on them without paying for a bottle. The staff was extremely rude. No one apologized when we complained. They were not helpful. There are lines everywhere, to do everything. We left our stay 3 days early and went somewhere else.
