Hyatt Vivid Playa Del Carmen - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I have stayed at over 10 different all inclusive resorts in Playa and Cancun over the years. This was probably the very best. Why? 1) You know how at most resorts, the chocolate and bread and other foods just taste different? At Vivid, it tastes more like American food. Except at the Mexican restaurant, where it was very authentic Mexican. 2) Check was quick, courteous and hassle free. We did go at a lower season (mid August), but still, it was much better than past experiences. 3) Room was huge with a large walk in shower and a jacuzzi. The shower had amazing water pressure. 4) Bed was very comfortable. Not hard like at other resorts. 5) The coffee shop in the lobby area was excellent with all kinds of pastries, ice cream and coffees(latte, Capuchino, expresso, etc) 6) All the restaurants were very good. There are 3 free ones (Mexican, Thai and Mediterranean) and there were 3 or so pay ones. We didn't do the pay ones, so I can comment on those. Of the three, the Mexican one was amazing, but the other 2 were good too. 7) For breakfast, most people go to the buffet, and we did too, but we discovered Pelicanos, by the ocean. Its a sitdown restaurant for breakfast and lunch. You can sit by the ocean in the shade and they will serve you from an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. After we discovered Pelicanos, we ate there every day afterwards. 8) No pool cards! Unlike other resorts. I have more, but no room. Have fun!"
