Rooms are spacious, beds were comfy, pool was nice, and staff was polite.
What I wish I
could change:
The beach is a little small here but one of the best beaches in the area. I saw guest reserving beach chairs early in the morning. I took my chance and slept in. I always seemed to find the perfect spot to relax no matter what time of day I made it to the beach.
Why YOU should
go:
Here everyone will find something they enjoy. There is shopping, excursions, culture, or just fun and sun. Visit Chichen-Itza to see The Ruins; they're quite amazing. While on property there is a wide range of activities. Play a round of ping pong, volleyball, or join in on a dart tournament. There are Spanish lessons, dance lessons and even water aerobics. For the less adventurous there was also an afternoon bingo game. They offer free bike rentals which I took advantage of and rode to town almost every day!
The all-inclusive Viva Wyndham Maya resort experience shines with a seemingly endless array of exciting possibilities. Dine at one of four restaurants, offering a tempting array of cuisines in a variety of beautiful settings. All food, drinks, taxes and tips are included.
