My husband and I went for 5 days and 4 nights to the Viva Azteca. We went in September which is the slow season and ended up getting a free upgrade on our room to an ocean view. It was beautiful!! The room was wonderful, clean, and the bed was very comfortable!! The buffet food was ok, but it wasn't fantastic. The best restaurants were the Italian and the Japanese restaurants in our opinion! We didn't have to make reservations, but it was because of the time of year we went. The beach and pool area were amazing!!!!! The entire staff was EXTREMELY accommodating. Also found out after we got there if you book the Viva Azteca you get access to the Viva Maya but if you book at the Maya you do NOT get access to the Azteca. So we were able to explore 2 resorts. A lot of fun overall

El sitio está bien por el precio. Siento que en cierto aspecto está algo anticuado, creo que necesita una reforma. Las habitaciones en específico. El grupo de limpieza también debería limpiar aún más las habitaciones. En una ocasión la persona que limpió la habitación olvidó hacer la cama por completo y también olvidó dejarnos papel higiénico. Llamamos a recepción y nos llevaron 2 rollos. La comida de desayuno es muy regular, nada excepcional. Aparte de eso esta bien por el precio supongo. Para la próxima buscaremos otro sitio aunque paguemos más.

The only thing that bothered me was the man at the entrance when we arrived , he was very persistent on making me purchase the time shares. He was on me every day and I had told I was not interested. He was very annoying !!!!

I really wanted to like V,Azteca. But there were so many uncertainties and misinformation(or lacking information) b4 and during the trip. I called the resort prior to my visit to ask if there was a tennis pro who could give me tennis lessons. They said, no pro, but i can play tennis. Found out there isn't a tennis court in V.Azteca, but there is one(although i didn't confirm it) at V.Maya which i have access to(10 min walk from Azteca). I didn't know i had access to Maya until I arrived Azteca which is weird bc i would think it's a selling point. The person i spoke to also said they didn't have bikes, but they did. It was also nightmare coordinating with the car pick up service that Azteca recommended. I would NOT recommend Kuluba car services to anyone. It was pulling teeth to confirm reservation of the pick up and the person wasn't there to pick me up when i arrived for about an hour. BAD start to the holiday. Then V.Azetca told me that I am able to only dine in the reservation required restaurants only 2 evenings out of the 5 evenings I'm there, which means I had to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same buffet cafeteria for days on end. The food was mediocre at best.The room really needs to be refurbished as the feeling was overall 'motel in a highway' qlty. They provided Shampoo and Bathgel ONLY and NOTHING else. We found cockroaches in the room and the bathroom during our stay. Again, I tried hard to look at the good parts, but it was very challenging.

We had an amazing time at Viva Azteca during our recent stay. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the beach. Our room was clean, comfortable
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, with a great variety at the restaurant. We especially enjoyed the fresh seafood and the breakfast buffet.
The pool area was perfect for relaxing. Overall, Viva Azteca exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for anyone visiting Mexico. We’ll definitely be back!

Viva Azteca was a wonderful place we stayed at. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was tasteful and had a lot of variety. We loved that it was at the beach front and allowed easy access to the beautiful beach of Playa Del Carmen. Rooms were cleaned daily unless you requested not to. The following are just a few suggestions, the AC vents, they are locked and you can’t move them up or down left or right, having AC in your room is important, but maybe add the adjustable vents to cut off the air from hitting the bedside. It was a bit uncomfortable at night, you really couldn’t adjust the air temp in the room because the humidity would creep in. Or move the bed to the other side or the room as to not allow the AC to be blowing in your face all night. Have your staff at check in explain all the amenities you are getting. Like downloading the viva app to see times and dates of activities and reserving your meal at any of your restaurants. No one explained it to us, we had to seek this information out. But overall it was a pleasant experience!!! We truly enjoyed our stay.

We really wanted to like this hotel as we have stayed at Wyndham hotels before and service was favorable however at hotel arrival we had to wait at least 30 min for someone to check us in. We tried several times to reserve dinner and was concierge was not very helpful and capacity was full even when we tried to reserve between 7-8 am. Be aware, this hotel do not have and elevator or AC unit in the buffet restaurant, theater and lounge areas which make it extremely inconvenient and hot especially during the months of July and August. Unfortunately will not be coming back.
