Very Good

This resort is absolutely wonderful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everything is very clean. The A/C works great and the beds are very comfortable! Bring a water jug because they don’t use water bottles. They have filtered water dispensers all over. We had no issues with the water. Everything is quick and easy to get to, from the front desk to the beach, it’s a short walk. The pool bar is open 24 hours a day which was nice!! The food was excellent! The breakfast buffet left a little to be desired but the lunch buffet and pool snack bar made up for it. The ocean was incredibly beautiful with lots of activities. The nightly shows were great. The only “downfall” is no drinking in the pool. Their sister resort Viva Maya is a short walk down the road or beach and they have a swim up bar.
I highly recommend this resort and look forward to going back next year!! (This is the first time I have ever said that about a resort in my 20 years of traveling to Playa del Carmen!!)
It was hard to figure out when and where activities were, for example cooking classes, because the app did not have locations and often incorrect times. Activities also did not have descriptions.
I stayed at Viva Azteca by Wyndham and really enjoyed it. It’s a smaller, quieter resort with fewer kids and less partying, which made it perfect for a relaxed, chill atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the staff were very welcoming. If you’re looking for something bigger with more activities and entertainment, I’d recommend checking out Viva Maya, but if you prefer a laid-back vibe, Azteca is a great choice.
Beautiful resort. Well laid out & very clean. Friendly & helpful staff. Amazing beach. Great food & its excellent that you can also take advantage of their sister resort, Maya, for extra dining options as well.
The rooms & belconies need more hooks to hang towels & things on. Would be nice to have beer added to the fridge daily when the room is cleaned. The cafe should open before 9am. The beach toys office (kayaks, etc.) should open earlier as well.
Amazing vacations ♥️♥️
The amenities and shows were spectacular, great location close to everything. Location was fantastic Playacar is in the middle of Cancun and Tulum. Walking & shopping very close and safe, great food amazing staff very friendly and always with a smile ready to help and answer all your questions. Clean rooms and spacious every day housekeeping. Special “THANKS” to Johnathan “bell boy” Liliana in the front desk and Laura guest service and manager. They all made our vacation special and very pleasant stayed. Five star ⭐️ and we will visit again soon!
We liked our stay, the staff was super polite and always ready for o help with a smile.
They’re just missing extra hangers for towels and swimming suits.
Hotel looks old, old paint on the walls, some dirty.
We had a really bad smell of sea weed coming from the air conditioning, issue was reported and we were never notified of any updated, smell went away until water started coming from the ceiling near the ac unit, again the issue was reported and again we were never notified about any repairs done, after that the ac was coming out with a disinfecting like smell, out of the 3 trips to the same area this is the one with the lowest quality, food was great!
Great property and the activities and entertainment team were excellent. They made us feel very welcome and involved and added special memories to our vacation. Thank you.
My friend and I had a relaxing week long stay at Viva Azteca. The location in Playacar was safe and felt very much like a friendly neighbourhood. We did day trips to Cenote but also enjoyed riding bikes around Playacar and spending time on the beach under the palm trees. The property is well maintained and the areas were laid out well so you had privacy. Thank you
