Apr 12, 2025Overall great stay, but some small tweaks could make it better
The resort itself is perfectly sized in my opinion. I’ve been to many resorts all over the Caribbean, and this is a good size. It’s not small like its adults-only resort, Ocean Maya, and is not huge like some other resorts. It’s very easily walkable. And for those who don’t want to walk, there are regular shuttles throughout. All the staff are super nice and friendly. We never had an issue dealing with any of them. The only staff who wasn’t as perky were the pool bar staff. But my guess is they had to deal with all the spring breakers so I’d be pretty annoyed too. The entertainment staff who were at the Eden pool were all great, specifically Emiliano and Ken. They were super friendly and easy to talk to. What I really liked is they had multiple pools for each purpose, kids pool, adults only (el beso), Privilege, Eden (general) and beach. And not only that, they had activities at each all throughout the day. To be honest, I’m not sure what the other reviewers are talking about with the loud music. I found it was pretty good with volume kept within the immediate vicinity of the pool. You could only hear it as you approach it. My only complaint is that they play a lot of English songs. Stuff I hear here in Canada. I prefer listening to Latin/spanish music at resorts. The other thing that isn’t so great is that there is barely any beach. And they have a beach volleyball court but there’s barely any sand there that it becomes a bit dangerous to play. They need more sand there. I’ve injured myself and other people have too. We had a few issues with our stay, such as a leaking ceiling and a dead bird on our balcony, but they got resolved and we really appreciated that the staff were quick at resolving it. The rooms were spacious and well-kept. Didn’t have any insects or critters which were nice. Also the theatre is actually and theatre which is kinda cool considering some of their nightly shows are awesome. One thing I would recommend is that they promote their entertainment activities more and post it somewhere more publicly because not everyone checks the app.

Apr 12, 2025Ask for Mauricio
We came to ocean riviera resort for a girls trip and this was one of the most fun activities we did with Mauricio - bottle painting. The vibe was perfect with upbeat music and balmy weather to just chill and indulge in some painting. We had a fun time

Ask for Mauricio
Mauricio was our attendant for this activity - attended a bottle painting class - it was great fun but wish there was something to follow for us NON artistic people! I would suggest that maybe the juice bottles be rinsed out and there be something to mauve the sticky from after taking off the labels!!! But great thing to do’

Very wonderful experience
Second time coming to this resort. Staff has been very friendly and food has been great. There’s a lot of activities to try and they are very fun. Benjamin from experience has been very helpful and kind. Always gave me recommendations and advice on what I should I try next.

Beautiful resort with excellent staff and amenities.
2nd time here and still so impressed. Our butler, Hugo Edwardo Macedo, was top-notch! VERY responsive and attentive to all of our needs and requests. I’d highly recommend him to anyone planning a vacation here. El Beso pool was awesome! Big pool, lots of activities but not hectic. Entertainment staff are great! Bistro poolside had great snack / lunch foods. The pool bartender, Juan, is one of the hardest-working people I’ve seen and was always fun, cheery and professional. The wildlife ranges from deer, coati to spider monkeys (if you’re out early enough to catch them.) Great resort all around fantastic resort /vacation and it won’t be our last.
