Marival Emotions Resort & Suites All Inclusive

My daughter was married on the beach in what was hailed as the best wedding most there (70!) had ever been to. The food, decor, wedding planner, music, flowers, fireworks, service, hairdressers, photographers, and location were exceptional and we could not have been happier.

This was our 4th time to the Grand Marival. The hotel is beautiful as always but that is the only positive. Most of the staff speak little or no English and you would think they could improve on that as these days Canadians are their next favourite customers after the Mexicans. That made experiences at the desk very difficult. The food is awful. You don't really know what you are eating with their stew like dishes that have poor quality beef, pork or chicken. Good bye Marival. We won't be back.

Visiting the Marival during the off season was great, no crowds, plenty of space and privacy to enjoy all the amenities. The rooms are spacious and the grounds are very well maintained. We loved mostly everything with a couple of recommendations: get rid of the decorative pillows from the beds, they are dirty and stinky. We also had the chance to dine at the three a la carte restaurants and enjoyed it very much with the exception of Las Palomas, which is said to serve “Mexican” food, but other than the guacamole, it was a fiasco. Here my second recommendation: “if it ain’t broken, why fix it”. Mexican food should be colorful and flavorful with no need to make it taste or look like something else. Keep it original!!! Nonetheless, we will have the Marival on our list of favorites 🏝🏖

It was amazing!! Definitely recommend this hotel, everyone is super nice and helpful!!

Stayed for 3 nights... great experience. Awesome people, super clean rooms, will go back for sure.
