Grand Oasis Riviera: Beyond expectations

This hotel seems as though it was plopped down in the center of the jungle. There is plenty of trees, flowers and wildlife to keep you entertained. Our oom was exceptional. First ones in it as it had been newly built. It had all amenities a person would want. His and hers sinks. Toilet separate from the shower which was huge. Out on our patio was our own personal cabana and a pool we shared with 4 other rooms. Outsode of that was the pool for the building and the bar with bartender from the ho [... read more]urs of 10 - 6. It was about a 7 minute walk to get to the restaurants. However for us that was just walking off all the food we over ate. Paths were well lit with lots of fountains. There is a cart that can be called to pick you up if you prefer that. The restaurants had delicious and well prepared foods in both Mexican tradition and European tastes. If you can't find something you like there is always salads, fruit, parfaits, and fresh bread and rolls. The store at the hotel is well stocked with the things we tend to forget about when you are packing. The staff was happy to help, they know customer service. If you need a pick me up stop by the coffee shop. They serve an amazing variety. Try to taste them all. You will also find football and pool tables to keep you entertained The main pool has the kids zone and the taco bar. Dont leave your food unattended the Coati like to steal food if you are not careful. The beach you should be prepared for. There is a lot of reef and rocks to walk around. Take your swim shoes. The staff warned us about urchins as well. Once you get out into that warm and beautiful water you will see all types of aquatic life. Take a snorkel. It is an amazing sight. One we are happy we experienced. Our main downfall other then coming home was not being able to find the sunwing/nexus representative. The hotel has blended the sens and the oasis into one and there are 2 lobbies. We found out the day before we left that the representative is not allowed past the gate and is using a part of the building where u get dropped off at. That is a lobby as well. Our concern was if the representative was needed we couldn't find them. Even the employees at the hotel would not inform you where he/she was. The airport was chaos when we landed but the departure was much better organized. The drive from Cancun is long, be prepared. Overall we loved our stay. To us it was 5 star.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Dated but functional

The hotel has very goofy offerings and does not allow the Nexus representatives to be onsite. Carlos from Nexus works out of the welcome Center at the gate. The register ladies do not speak very good English and speak way to fast for proper understanding of hotel information. The hotel food was very good but certain all inclusive offerings are really limited

Grand Oasis Palm: Hotel review

Hotel is dated. No chairs at pools. Food was not good. The slides in the kids section were only open for 10 mins everyday. Beach was dirty every morning. Nothing for kids to do at night. I would not stay here again.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Grand Oasis Akamal Review

The hotel was beautiful..our room was huge..and cleaned perfectly every day. The food was excellent. However the beach was terrible .all coral and rocks. You absolutely need water shoes. Quite a steep entrance to the ocean, I fell every time getting in, and out. But the snorkeling is fabulous! The hotel has a very poor departure system . You need to sign out by 12 noon. You are told if you don't get to the buffet by 12:30, you will not get any food til your bus leaves. Mine left at 6:10. So  [... read more]no food unless, I paid for a late checkout..$45. US til 2:00 pm or $65 US. Til 6:00 PM. STRICTLY a money grab. I will not be back to this hotel again!!

Grand Oasis Riviera: Great Snorkeling right on the hotel beach

The hotel was nice.They are still renovating and most of the renos are on the adults only side. The hotel is small so there is not a lot of walking. The service in general was great. The food was ok. There was always something we liked. They did have chicken nuggets at the buffet for lunch and breakfast. There is also a little restaurant by the pool area which had a little buffet (fajitas, pizza, fruit and veggies) and the burgers, hot dogs and french fries. The coffee bar is great. The beach [... read more] is not as long as the pictures-the one side is rocky so not a lot of people swimming on that side. There is definitely not enough beach chairs for the non adult side -by 9am. They did have a little show most of the nights-but we never went so I can’t comment on that.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Wonderful Resort

The resort was beautiful, small and easy excess to all activities. Rooms were beautiful spacious and well kept. The coffee shop was amazing and the hard working staff friendly! The activity staff were the best! Would like to make a shoutout to Andrea, Gabrielle, Cindy and Tony who made our beach days fun! The beach was very rocky and hard to get into the water. The negative :is not having a Sunwing Rep at the hotel for any concerns. Was frustrated about check out I have never been to a reso [... read more]rt that check out is at 12 bracelets cut and told we can no longer use the facilities for buffet and bar. Our pick up time to leave the hotel was 6:10 at night and to be told that we can no longer use eat or drink was disappointing! Usually they cut bracket but your checkout ticket allows you to use all facilities to you leave!

Grand Oasis Riviera: Beautiful resort

The rooms and resort are beautiful. If you want nightly entertainment this is not the.resort for you! The mini bar does not get restocked at all with pop or beer. They are short on daytime entertainment staff and those staff members are amazing keeping guests engaged.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Mixed thoughts

The resort itself is decent. Grounds are kept and neat. Exterior maintenance on the buildings you stay in is lacking. (Orange buildings) Broken screens, broken roof tiles, stucco broken, balcony rail broken. Needs a lot of work. Interior is ok at best. Buffet, coffee shop and seafood restaurant are all good. Stay away from the Italian restaurant. Website says there are tennis courts but there aren't any. Beach is small but thr snorkeling is good.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Beautiful Resort

The grounds & rooms are beautiful. Loved no reservations required for Ala carte restaurants. I was shocked to find that i had to pay resort environmental fee of $126 USD when I checked it. I was dissatisfied that they do not restock your mini fridge with pop & beer (only stocked for arrival day) after that they only restock water! I was disappointed with the entertainment as it was sorely lacking at the resort.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Very dissatisfied

The staff were not very friendly. I would usually get wine with dinner, but wouldn't relieve it until after dinner Supposed to be all inclusive, but the housekeeping wanted to charge me to fill up my mini bar. The beach was very tiny, and we had a Karen on the beach. She yelled at people that she owned her room on the beach and no one was allowed near her. She yelled at me for smoking and was an annoying nag. The bars didn't open until 11 am and closed at 7. No food available at night time a [... read more]fter dinner, only muffins or cookies. The lifeguard was more interested in his phone then keeping an eye on guests, he also liked to pick his nose while sitting there. Lifeguard also blew his nose and spit in the shower outside that you use to wash off sand. A waitress blew her nose in a napkin, and then polished a cup with the used napkin. Also didn't even wash her hands. Very disgusted with this place. I feel like I lost my money and I really didn't want to stay the seven days I couldn't wait to get home. Dont waste your money here.

The Pyramid Cancun: pyramid teview

stay was january 30-february 6,2026 ocean front view- old but decent and clean , ZERO entertainment, nothing to do after 9:30pm- food is okay with black bracelet nothing great even the à la cartes, if u are blue bracelet good luck cuz your food options are horrible!, no servers for drinks,always line ups at bars, a lot of walking for nothing, pools are boring not enough chairs for the amount of guests… don’t bother for the money there are better options

Grand Oasis Palm: Do not book this hotel

It took over 1 hour to check in and we were 2nd in line at 1am. The front desk lady refused to check in my mom in her own room saying that her room was not ready and then changed her mind and said she had to go to a different lobby in another building for someone to check her in. When she got there, they told her the original lady should have checked her in and this is now 2 hours later. Pools are not heated so they are extremely cold. They are all well over 5'7 feet even at the kids watersid [... read more]e by the pirate ship so you need to have a life jacket for them unless they are extremely good swimmers. There are no loungers around the pools and not enough on the beach. If you want a lounger, you must grab one before 715am. The APP to book a la cartes was working however, we were never able to book even right at 8am when the reservation system opened because they were always "full". Rooms are small and always smelled musty. The bathrooms were even smaller! Food was very much the same each day with 1 or 2 dishes that were swapped. During the week, there is no evening entertainment until 930pm so there is nothing to do after dinner until the night show. Weekends they do have live music or some activities starting around 8pm. Bars close really early at 1130 throughout the resort with the exception of 1 bar that I believe closes at 1230. I am not a picky traveller and have gone to places like Cuba and although their food is pretty bad, the resorts and overall experience there is so much better.

The Sens Riviera: Beautiful resort

We just got back from sens rivera tulum and I have to say what a beautiful resort , the grounds is gorgeous lots of walk way etc , its a small resort more on the quiet side what we liked , there is entertainment in the evening.. there was i believe 8 restaurants you dont need reservations which worked well for us..The food was good too not the best but ok..buffet had everything you need..The beach is beautiful except its a rocky beach we were wearing water shoe to go in the oce [... read more]an but was so beautiful to see the fishes the water was clear...we had an amazing time ..the employees was very helpful and kind the coffee shop had delicious coffee whatever you need you could get it...our room was updated we had no problem ..the beach is small so we had to get up every morning at 620 to make sure we got our chairs for the day at the beach ⛱️..was hilarious but we did it , over all good resort we love it.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Terrible Resort

The room was disgusting. Plain whitish plaster walls with no decoration. Balcony was filthy and there are broken roof tiles all over. Third floor with no elevators so three flights of stone stairs to climb. As we are both seniors not very comfortable. Tried to complain to management to get a decent room but no help. We were told to meet with the Sunwing rep in the lobby the day after arrival but no rep was there and the front desk said they never see a rep. We were also not told that there were  [... read more]three levels of guests and we were the lowest so we were not allowed to use certain restaurants and pools. This is by far the worst resort we have ever stayed at in the five times we have visited Mexico. We will never use Sunwing again and this awful place should be removed from your brochures. I have never needed to complain before but this was a vacation from hell. I have photos depicting the run down accomodations

Grand Oasis Riviera: Amazing resort!

Awesome resort! We had a fantastic time at this resort! From the minute we arrived until we left, we were treated with much regard, kindness and helpfulness by all the staff there. Shout out to Evelyn (I'm bad with names, but I'm pretty sure that's her name) at the reception desk - so helpful and pleasant, as were all of the reception staff! Loved being served every day by Juan at the beach bar - check out the mango margarita - delicious! The restaurants were fantastic! Mv only complaint was I  [... read more]didn't discover the Japanese restaurant until the last night - amazing! All of the wait staff were attentive, polite and hard working. Shout out to Victor and to Rose at the restaurant reception desk. No reservations required for these restaurants and very little to no wait times to get in the a la carte. The buffet was also very good morning, noon and night. Don't forget to tip these amazing hard working people. The beach was beautiful every day - the last 2 days lots of seaweed came in - it was too overwhelming for the maintenance staff to deal with. The public washrooms were always clean - which I am sure is quite the fear given the amount of people in and out of them all day! We loved our room - so spacious and roomy! The swim up pool at the foot of our patio was the icing on the cake! Will return next year❤️❤️

The Sens Riviera: good resort

-grounds, site, buildings, nice and clean,recently renovated. -good variety of food and buffet, and specialty restaurants. Only the japanese restaurant was disappointing, as it was on a patio outside of the buffet area, but, food was good. -nice coffee and snack shop, poolside snacks was good. -entertainment was only 2 nights a week, all others were karioke nights. -room air conditioners were strange, preset to 16.5 degrees, no matter what you set the thermostat at.

Grand Oasis Cancun: Worst trip for stress

We had nothing but stress on this trip. Air. Ananda royally dropped the ball on this one. Changing plane schedules without notice. To the worst possibly run resort in history. We were greeted with rudeness and conflict. Absolutely no help from them and we had to go on our own to find our room without help or direction after our 8 hour late plane ride landing us there without transportation to the resort. Then the place had so many blocked areas that had to be paid for before entering. So much fo [... read more]r all inclusive. Too bad this place is run so bad as it is actually a beautiful place. And again on the way home air canada was late and we had to run to get to our connecting flight. What a stress tha we did not need and wanted to get away from. Now I hope that after buying many tickets over the last 2 years trip central can step up to the plate and help us recover all the extra money we had to spend just to stay there.

Grand Oasis Riviera: Grand Oasis Tulum Mexico

Our check in was a little disturbing ...when we found out our room was on the 3 floor with 25 steps up.. We were shocked..this hotel does not have elevators..My travel partner freaked when she realized it and directly when to the Lobby to explain .. She is 65 years old and I am 72..omg...They finally with some discussion put us on the 2'd floor..12 steps up..what else could we do?? Also very surprised to learn the Sewer Tax was 139.00 dollars American not the very small amount we were told.  [... read more] The Room Was absolutely beautiful, great beds, lots of good soft pillows.. immaculate.. The food was amazing, lots of fresh fruit, every kind of meat, shrimp, on & on... Fresh Salad bar with great variety. Has a specially Coffee shop which was great. The Beach was unkept, lots of garbage around..hardly any beach lounges.. The Pools around the Hotel were nice but very cold..not many people used them. Complained they were so cold. Snorkeling was a 4 out of 10..Very rocky, very cloudy, Would not recommend this for anyone that wants to snorkel. No night entertainment..when it gets dark the day is done. People working their were very nice. The 1hour & 30 was a long way to and from the airport, bumpy, but the Transfer Bus was very nice.

Grand Oasis Palm: Needs Improvement

Unfortunately the resort was very underwhelming. The resort did not at all look like the pictures. Very outdated. Very overcrowded. Limited food options and cold, when available. Never any pool chairs. Staff were very kind though when they did assist (which was limited, due to overcrowding)

Grand Oasis Cancun: My Opinion

If you are ok with being in a line for EVERYTHING then you will be ok with this resort. Buffets don’t hold enough people so expect a lengthy line up. Once in, don’t expect any salsa and butter not always available. If you like to drink, get 2 and just go to the back of the line. You’ll have finished your drinks by the time you get back to the front. Entertainment is slim to none. You have to make your own. The resort closes everything by 10:30 or 11:00pm, again make your own fun. There about 30  [... read more]lounge chairs on the beach. All will be reserved by 8:00am. The beach , ocean and rooms are fantastic. Service doesn’t really exist. This resort is all about what YOU make of it. My expectations were low but not low enough. ?
