The place is beautiful, the staff is tremendously welcoming and nice, the property has tons of activities to try out if relaxing at the pools and beaches isn’t for you. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone. Only thing that wasn’t really great was the lunch and dinner, the food isn’t really good quality it was more on the cheaper American buffet style type rather than authentic Mexican style.

Family resort. Food was not great. Beach had wave breakers and could not go far into water at all. Nothing much to do. Swim up rooms are all connected to main pool. It was noisy all day and night with loud mics music and games. . Nothing but weddings done there.

The property has many excellent features, such as luxurious accommodations, a beautiful beach, and attentive service. However, although our all-inclusive reservation included access to all 15 restaurants, we could only enjoy four as the rest were exclusively for adults!

The staff could not be nicer or more willing to help. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The restaurants are incredible for an all inclusive. The drinks are delicious. We brought our baby and they had everything we needed at the resort - a crib/monitor/etc. It’s not a big resort, but if you are looking for a short relaxing vacation, this is great!

Our room was not very clean. Little bugs all around the sinks in the bathroom. Not worth the money we paid. Entertainment was very limited. Resort was a ghost town. Chef's market was the best part of the resort. Room service was very, very small portions. No bottled water at the restaurants. Would not return.

We loved everything about it. The drivers were punctual to get you from point A to point B around the resort. The pool was plentiful. The breeze from our room overlooking the ocean was amazing. The only thing that was a slight issue was in the Chef Market. My fiancee wore a shirt that had very short sleeves and the host was giving a little slack. until we pointed out that there were a few ladies of the same party in pjs and head scarves at the breakfast seating.. other than that.. it was awesome

We enjoyed all of the restaurants. However, the room next to ours was getting renovated and they made so much noise that my toddler had a hard time napping and going to bed. We complained and nothing was done. Also, we were on the side of the hotel that was away from all restaurants which made it difficult with a toddler.

The employees at this resort were not friendly or welcoming. Everyone seemed like they hated their job. From check-in to restaurants, bars, and even housekeeping folks. If you ask for anything you are given a look like you are bothering them. The pool was dirty the whole time we were there. One day, they missed cleaning our balcony and we couldn't use it because there was bird poop everywhere. We received cold food at the restaurants multiple times and experienced servers who would not attend to us. We were with a wedding party where others had a similar experience.

Check in was lacking any information even when we were told “butler” would help. The front lobby had no one to greet us or bell hop. Time was limited when available to ask for help. Check in map and amenities were not explained. We found most restaurants were hard to get into. Most workers were texting on mobile devices vs providing services. Highlight was drivers between resorts who went out of their way to stop, help or provide info. Don’t recommend for the cost to make a reservation.

I really liked the big rooms they had! We absolutely loved our main floor swim out! We had Erbie who visited us daily to get our drink orders! The room was very clean, the maids did a good job at cleaning and giving us new towels. I didn’t like how they touched our personal belongings such as our toothbrushes and put them in different places on the bathroom counter. They did stock us well on water but lacked on the snacks they only did that once. We loved the catamaran and snorkeling on Maroma Beach! Drinks and food were included and that was one of the best places we ate!!! There was a lack of communication on instructions for things and where we needed to go or what to do both on Maroma Beach we got there and had no idea what to do. Same for when we left at the end of the week we didn’t know we needed a piece of paper for the transportation but we did eventually figure it out ourselves. But we loved the activities and loved the swim out it was so much fun! Loved the size of the bathroom too! The bartender at Sling Victor was so amazing and friendly we saw him every night! They kept the beach clean! We enjoyed so many meals at the Palms we loved that we can sit out and enjoy the great view of the beach while we ate! Room walls seemed to be thin and we could here a lot, they also didn’t seem to have a limit for quiet time. That did get frustrating when it was really late at night. Overall loved the way the rooms were set up!

I would recommend this resort to adult travellers but likely wouldn’t come back with children. We booked a swim up suite. Below are some of the pros and cons:
CONS:
-pools are not heated which was hard with kids. Balcony pools were cold and so was the main pool
-at times staff were helpful but you had to find the right person to help you which sometimes meant having to talk to 5 different people, service was hit or miss
-no central lobby bar or gathering place (lobby is located quite a distance from the resort for some odd reason).
-cement barriers in the water and rocky reef so couldn’t swim in the ocean
-limited selection of restaurants/food because only specific ones are open on specific days
-breakfast buffet never changed and had limited selection
PROS:
-kids enjoyed kids club which allowed us to venture over to the adults only Casitas and Royale which had a better selection of restaurants
-rooms are a good size
-Jade and Wine kitchen had good food
-Andres was an excellent Concierge even though he wasn’t even assigned to our building.
-we had Aqua Nick passes which was a great for the kids
-premium selection of alcohol

The dedication and warmth of the Generations Riviera Maya staff truly make the experience.
We dined every morning at the Chef's Market and were warmly greeted by the team and provided everything from mimosas (refills without asking!) to delicious cuisine. On days when we woke up especially early but not quite ready to dine, they happily supplied delicious lattes to sip and enjoy. Similarly, the teams at the Palms and Jade Restaurants were equally accommodating. A special shout out to our server Daniel at the Haab restaurant and Chef Sanjeev for a remarkable meal. It may be odd that our favorite meal in Mexico was Indian fare, but it truly was delicious! The resort also hosts a lovely Mexican themed night with a pinata crafted by the Kids Club staff and a talented mariachi band.
A particular stand out of our four night experience was with the Eko Kids Club. Angie, Wendy, Xio, and Sharon provided fun, engaging activities including face painting, crafts, treasure hunts, and baking. When given the choice to continue enjoying the neighboring Aqua Nick water park or heading to Kids Club, our son emphatically requested Kids Club! We are so grateful to the team for making our son's vacation particularly special! It also afforded us a chance to explore to the two neighboring adults-only properties.
Our room attendant Alma along with the evening staff ensured our room was refreshed each morning and at turn down.
Thanks for a lovely trip!

Came this week for a wedding. They had weddings daily and multiple of them. This resort is super small. They would have parties/receptions at night and it would be loud music all night till at least11-12am. All rooms surround the pool. Music played all day there. There was no true peace and relaxing unless it was the beach. But they have So much concrete and sand bars that you can’t even enjoy the water nor can you even get in without stepping on rocks there was hardly anybody who was able to enjoy the beach water. No ocean swim at all. The food was subpar. The breakfast buffet was ok but lunch and dinner The portions were extremely small, literaly they gave me a third of a corn on the cob, about 8-10 fries and 4 tiny ribs with hardly any meat. and the drinks were watered down unless you asked for more alcohol. If it wasn’t for us being able to use El Dorado’s restaurants, we would not have had any decent dinners. The wedding dinner was much nicer go figure they paid more. The front entrance lobby is very mediocre. There’s not a great welcome there. It does not feel like paradise when you arrive. The one great thing was the staff. This place needs a total overhaul.

I checked in on a Sunday with three small children and was quite shocked at how limited this resort was. The pool was cold, the beach was not swimmable due to seaweed and rocks and there were no activities at all our first day. Since there was absolutely nothing to do and no one around we went to Aqua Nick, which was great. Upon our return we had dinner at Jade and told them upon arrival about my son’s sesame allergy. I ordered according to the menu (only a few items listed sesame as an ingredient). Upon delivering the food to the table the waiter informed us that “everything” had sesame in it. I’m sure every parent reading this can imagine how well that went down with my two year old son when presented with a table full of food he wasn’t allowed to eat.
The room was spacious and beautiful. However, the drain in the shower was clogged and completely flooded the bathroom, soaking everything in its path. When we went down to the pool there were leftover dirty cups littered everywhere from the night before. The kids activities started an hour and a half later than written on the schedule, with no acknowledgement. But the worst part was despite asking three (3!) times for them to order me transportation to the airport, upon check out I sat there with the three kids for 35 minutes waiting for a cab to arrive that no one had ordered. When I finally asked if that wait was normal, they casually told me no one had called anyone. Top that off with the fact that the cab charged me $95

Ugly beach keep looking
The beach is ugly with the sea wall “art” that moved close to shore after a storm. A lot of natural rock wall which makes it uncomfortable to want to pass it to swim in the ocean. Which is a major factor in me not recommending.
The swim pool is cold and we had a swim-up room. No hot tubs.
The breakfast buffet was great but the restaurant keeps the curtains CLOSED at breakfast blocking ocean view.
The room lacked privacy while in both the bath and sleeping area. The walls are open at the top of the bathroom.
We got off to a rough start with a travel delay and late night check-in. Unfortunately arrived to an empty lobby with no signage and no working phones. Were told we could order late night food yet our phone in our room didn’t work so we had to walk back to concierge area for them to place our food order. While at concierge found my family’s passport photo copy sitting unsecured at desk.
In 3 nights, we had no hot water in our shower, maintenance came and showed us to run water for about 10 minutes or more. We were able to take a hot bath after filling the tub once with cold water, draining it then refilling (Waste of water).
Excellent room service, and grounds service.
Concierge never contacted me even after I downloaded WhatsApp. While some of the staff was excellent, there were a lot of new employees who seemed to need a lot of training and some who were overtly rude especially when I felt I’d been overcharged for the bottle of wine at wine restaurant.
