When I first booked this trip, I noticed some mixed reviews that I’d like to address. My experience was outstanding! The location is beautiful and peaceful, yet welcoming. You truly feel immersed in the jungle. The rooms are more spacious and comfortable than typical resort rooms. I was initially concerned about the beach being described as rocky, fearing it might be unusable. However, the ocean was very close and perfectly enjoyable. While there are some rocks, it didn’t hinder my ability to relax and soak in the waves. Additionally, a short walk down the beach offers a different experience if desired. Another review mentioned mosquitos as an issue. Expecting the resort to control mosquitos is like expecting a hotel in Seattle to control the rain. Yes, there are bugs in the jungle, but the resort provides ample mosquito repellent. One reviewer complained about a long uphill walk at the resort, but I found everything to be easily accessible. There was a slight uphill climb for about 20 yards, which is hardly worth mentioning. Compared to other resorts where I’ve had to walk 20 minutes to get food, navigating this resort was a breeze, and the surroundings are incredibly beautiful. Finally, I really enjoyed the food. Yes, it’s expensive to eat and drink, but that’s expected at a non-inclusive resort. Frankly, I’ve stayed at similar places, and the experience here was worth every penny. Alberto and others made the the experience so easy. I'd absolutely go again.

We had a fantastic stay at the Viceroy. From the moment we arrived it was first class the entire time. We used the resort car service which was nice to not have to hassle with the taxis when we arrived at the airport. Straight through the chaos, to our car and away we went. Greeted with drinks and quick lay of the land and shown to our bungalow after the financials were handled. Could not have been happier with #34. It was off the main path, plenty of privacy and extremely clean. Great plunge pool was used daily/nightly. Hammock needs changed as the ends were too close and couldn’t lay back. Room was amazing. No complaints. Clean, cool and comfortable. Outdoor shower was exceptional and almost every shower was taken outdoors. Entire setup was perfect we really felt like we were there alone. Food was very good. Menu selections had a nice variety. My girlfriend is a vegetarian so I was a little worried about finding options for here but wait staff understood and were helpful in making sure she had choices. Beach was the least impressive of the entire facility. It was nice but not great and was rocky as other reviews suggest. Would not go for the beach specifically but pool area was great. All staff were amazing and extremely helpful. Could not have been happier and it didn’t feel forced. Bottom line is we will be back and excited for another trip. You won’t be disappointed. Could be a bit noisy on the weekends from neighbor resort. It was on Friday.

Hotel / resort was good and well appointed. Staff was nice and friendly. You got feel as we stayed in a jungles. Main value of this place - privacy and quietness. Few things to consider: beach was rocky and inaccessible with bare feet, need short walk to neighbor hotel sea access point. There were only two restaurants on the property - consider 15 min taxi ride at fixed $20 as alternative dinnner in town. Another tip: Once book airport transfer - stay away from Shuttle Central transfer company (offered by Expedia - we regret) : driver came late (40 min.), minibus was bitten up. Our driver - also had fun watching TV season on his cell phone all way while driving to our resort. 😀 We did his video! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽!

The grounds are beautiful and our room couldn't have been better. The private plunge pool and outdoor shower were so relaxing. We stayed 8 days and had all meals but one at Viceroy - the food was fabulous. The beach is beautiful but rocky at the shore line. The staff and service are first rate. Every request was taken care of immediately! Playa Del Carme in an easy 15 cab ride away with lots to see. Many excursions are available but we came to just take it easy and didn't try any. I HIGHLY recommend Viceroy and hope to go back.

Great place to stay if you are looking for something quiet and relaxing. The private pool villas are awesome and perfect for a romantic get away. Lots of wildlife to see on the property being set in the jungle. Staff was very professional. Came here in September 2022 for reference and the main drawback is that the beach is not good for swimming due to an abundance of rocks. Food and drinks were very good but could use a little more variety in the breakfast menu. I did some spearfishing in front of the property and the kitchen cooked the lobsters, octopus and fish I caught which was prepared wonderfully. Not a great spot for the family, but I would definitely recommend this place for couple looking for a romantic escape.
