I just returned with my wife and three teenage children from Paradise. We had undoubtedly the finest 10 days of our lives at the Mandarin in Playa del Carmen. We have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world, particularly some of the finest resort hotels in Asia and we put this hotel at the top of our... more

After waiting several years for this resort to open, we finally made it to MO Riviera Maya and had a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. I often wondered if there was anything I could possibly ask for, to which the answer would be "No". The rooms were simply amazing - not just huge and luxurious, but... more

I have returned from Riviera Maya very happy and delighted with all I ve seen and experienced in this great region. The hotel is so Fantastic and intimate, surrounded by mother nature with mangroves, canals, cenotes and a nice beach. I did not expect to find so many great attractions in one single place... 10m from Playa del Carmen, a... more

When my partner and I got to the property, we were ushered away to our beachfront casita. It was chic and amazing. The beachfront service was amazing. For example, the beach waiters replaced our ice before it even melted. They were attentive and always brought whatever we wanted. We had a butler that set up plans for our dinner on... more

If you are looking for a place to relax, to feel in touch with nature, to feel the luxury in its simplicity, to acquire a positive, energizing attitude, to also enjoy some cultural getaways into neighboring cities and sites, to feel you are on local grounds, and of course if you can afford it, then we highly recommend this place.... more

The rooms are very private and property is quiet. The rooms are large and nicely done. The staff will do anything to make your stay great. I... more

I just got back from a five day stay at this new hotel, and being a big "fan" of Mandarin Oriental hotels I thought why not write a few words of praise. Yes, it's a beautiful property, expensive, and these days with prices what they are I think most of us want a lot from whatever hotel we choose, I... more

I had my doubts about this hotel after reading the previous reviews. But as soon as the hotel staff meet up with you in the airport, you feel the top notch quality of this hotel. Airport pick up- Hotel staff picked us up in a brand new escalade Lobby- Very close to the main road with very nicely man made... more

A brand new high-end property with prices to match!! We found the MO to be a great resort; it's long and thin with the beach at one end and the lobby/spa/main entrance at the other. After 3 days, we found the walk to/from the beach from the Cenote area a bit grinding, but within 5 mins of walking, a golf-cart... more
