Grand Riviera Princess, Playa Del Carmen – All Inclusive Resort
Grand Riviera Princess, Playa Del Carmen- All-inclusive Resort Tour
Party it up at one of Playa Del Carmen’s most affordable all-inclusive resorts. Enjoy the beautiful beach and make new friends from all over the world at this massive resort.
The resort is situated on a beautiful stretch of white sand beach along the Caribbean Sea, offering stunning views of the turquoise water and a fantastic beach! We also enjoyed watching families of monkeys swing from the trees outside of our room, along with iguanas and lemurs.
To be completely transparent, the food here is subpar and the buffets serves reheated leftovers. Don’t forget to make your dining reservations prior to your stay or you won’t be able to get a seat in a restaurant, even in the dead of winter. If you ever stay here, make sure you upgrade to the diamond or platinum plan to get better service, better alcohol and comfier pillows.
