Beautiful resort

Amazing resort, relaxing and a great time, all the staff were amazing, the grounds were really taken care of. Ac worked amazing in our room, food was amazing, breakfast buffet had lots. The resort is mainly an older crowd we were part of the very few young ones there. only negative thing I have about the resort is there isn’t music the whole time at the pool which is weird. Johnny at the pool bar is an amazing bartender and will be the reason my wife and I come back. Best mojito I’ve ever gotte [... read more]n. Genuinely good dude.

Beautiful Resort!

The grounds are lush and well maintained. Nice lighting for walking at night. The rooms are spacious, clean and beds comfortable. Enjoyed the patio, which had comfortable furniture. The pools were great, lots of chairs and shade. The beach is nice although not great for a lot of swimming. The musicians were very talented and we really enjoyed them all. The food and drinks were outstanding at each restaurant we ate at. Staff were all very attentive and pleasant. All in all, a fantastic resort and [... read more] we look forward to returning.

Amazing resort

The rooms are clean and spacious and have a stocked bar fridge and the service for the rooms was incredible including turn down service. There are concierge in every building to assist. The covered area of lobby and restaurants was great for shade or inclement weather. The large pool and smaller quiet pool provide options and the beach area is large clean and comfortable lounge chairs and large huts to provide shade. Great staff who work hard to provide everything you need.

Valentin Riviera Maya April 2024 Review

10+ visits to this resort. Infrastructure and grounds are exceptional. Top shelf alcohol for happy hour. Variety in restaurants and no bracelet are a plus. Great entertainment that we don't see in any resorts in the area. Live music starts at 6 pm and ends at 11:30 pm with multiple performers. Room for improvement: There are small things to fix around the main pool, for instance ... but not a deal breaker. Maybe being critical after many visits, but we have noticed a decline in the s [... read more]ervice after the pandemic. Having said that, for new customers, this resort would be the optimal for adults only customers.

Best resort !

This was our 8th visit to the Valentin and we enjoyed it as much as always. Perfect size, gorgeous grounds, beautiful sandy beach with aqua clear water. Loads of choices - relax, be romantic or party. Food is very good and staff are excellent. Beds are comfy. Best of all everything is so easy - no bracelets, no need for dinner reservations, no towel policy.

Absolutely Amazing Resort!!

The grounds are beautiful!!! The rooms are very comfortable, clean and has everything you need. All restaurants are amazing! This is my 4th time to this resort and it won't be my last ! Can't wait until next time !

Truly a 5 star resort

From the moment we were greeted at the door to the moment we left, everything was 5-star at this resort. The entertainment around the pool was exceptional, including Israel, Carlos, so many others. Incredible dancers, all of them, and so pleasant. The saxophonist, violinist, guitar player were exceptional. And the food! Oh my God! Just delicious. We also took in all the evening shows and particularly loved the Three Tenors.

Truly a gem in paradise

This resort was my best resort ever! We really enjoyed the food, nearly every meal was perfect, even lunch at the themed restaurant was so good. We also enjoyed the dressing up for dinner every night.The staff was exceptional, always happy to greet you. We enjoyed how much effort , assortment and enthusiasm was put into activities and entertainment. The grounds were beautiful and carved through the jungle terrain which made it a real nice experience. They were constantly tending to keeping the [... read more] grounds immaculate. Another real highlighlight here was Cafe Sisal which was like having a Starbucks on the property and we would enjoy almost twice a day, a real treat at no extra cost. As usual with these large resorts we were disappointed how much pool chairs and floaties were hoarded by all the guests with most chairs gone by 7 am. I wish that the resort would police their policy of not saving chairs. We were in the cheapest rooms available, they were good but a bit dated.

Beautiful resort

Absolutely gorgeous and extensive property for this resort. Excellent food and friendly service and there is something for everyone. The best entertainment of any resort we have stayed at and it is great to have something to do all evening. The Imperial band was top notch as were all the entertainers. Nice beach for watching the ocean but too rough for swimming. I wish the gym was nicer (needs an air conditioned weight room with some decent exercise mats) and would have loved to enjoy the p [... read more]ing pong table but the location is too windy to be able to play. Overall a fantastic resort, wonderful friendly hard working staff and I would love to return here.

Yes it really is amazing resort

It is a place for animals as well. To see the many different animals was good, and to know the care etc it takes was a special place to be the grounds, so very large spaces,the up stages to maintained, was amazing.loved it.

15th visit and still amazing

My wife and I have just returned from our 15th visit (29th & 30th weeks) to this wonderful resort. The weather was perfect for the entire 14 days we were there. It was nice to catch up with so many of the staff members whom we have become friends with over the 15 years we have been visiting this resort. The food was excellent at all of the al a carte restaurants making it impossible to choose our favorite. We also tried the Food Truck lunches around the pool and enjoyed them as well. The recentl [... read more]y opened Coffee shop offers many great special coffee drinks as well as ice cream, sandwiches and amazing dessert treats. We stayed in the standard Deluxe Jr. Suite and we opted for the Privilage package. Although these rooms have yet to be renovated the room was clean, comfortable and centrally located. The staff at this resort are fabulous and do their best to make our stay as pleasant as possible. A special shout out to Osmar at the Don Miguel bar where he made our nightly visits extra enjoyable. The entertainment is enjoyable, especially the 3 Tenors and the Imperial band. The main pool was busy but not crowded at the end where we spent our time. The main activity area of the pool is busier and offers many activities for those whose enjoy that type of thing. The Beach was as beautiful as ever and although there has been a lot of discussion recently in reference to the Sargassum (seaweed) issues in the region, the Sargassum comes and goes depending on the sea currents and size of the waves due to the winds coming off the sea. The Valentin does a remarkable job cleaning as much of the Sargassum as possible with their tractor and raking devise in an attempt to limit the effect on beach goers. We were told the resort was around 85% occupancy but as usual this resort made it seem less crowded than you would expect. We love this resort and will return for our 16th trip next year.

Absolutely Amazing Resort!!

Everything was beautiful and clean. Good choice of restaurants and no need for reservations which is excellent! The service is unlike any other resorts that I have been to. Absolutely amazing !! The activities around the pool are so much fun and there are plenty. The grounds are absolutely beautiful!! This is my 3rd time at the Valentine and I recommend this resort 100% !! You'll never want to go anywhere else!

Top notch resort!!!

The resort was beautiful. Well maintained, clean. Service in all areas was wonderful. Food was delicious, I have food allergies and it wasn't a concern. At all meals I was accommodated. Would highly recommend.

Epic resort and grounds

Incredibly clean, great staff! Room and bed were fantastic. This was our 3rd time visiting the Valentin and it definitely will not be our last. The beach was clean and quiet, pools and bars were great! The food was widely varied and excellent!

Best resort we’ve been to

Our 7th time. Has everything we want - the layout makes it seem smaller than it is, grounds/landscaping is excellent, food is great, rooms are very comfortable, & staff are the most friendly we’ve met

Awesome vacation

I only have good things to say about this resort. Beautiful place, the service was extraordinary, super clean, amazing food (no reservation needed big bonus) and all staff members were very friendly. Will definitely go back.

Best vacation resort in Mexico!

Entertainment was diverse enough to suit many tastes, food was amazing, many dishes were gluten free and the hostess asked every time if there were any food allergies. Drinks were served promptly with very little waiting time. Servers, groundskeepers, hostesses, waiters, and housekeeping staff were all friendly and appreciative of any comments on how lovely the resort was. They seemed genuinely proud of their work. Most other travellers we met have been coming to this resort numerous times, now  [... read more]we know why! Rooms were well kept, spacious, and beautifully maintained. We are already planning our next vacation at you're beautiful resort! Suggestions: would like to see more benches along the walkways, for those that have knee or hip issues but still want to walk it would be more convenient to have a spot to sit while waiting for a trolley or just need a break from walking.

Repeat Customer

We have been returning to this resort for several years. After years of travelling to many islands and resorts we found this gem. Food, service, amenities are all top rate. Beautiful beach with lots of lounge chairs and huge pool. We book the swim up room for our own pool lounging terrace. Will be booking soon for next year.
