Senses Riviera Maya - Ocean Front Boutique Hotel - Adults only

SWINGERS hotel. My husband and I booked here for 7 nights, we only stayed 3 (we had to because of an all day tour that was booked on day 3), we would have checked out on day 2. While the views were STUNNING. We did enjoy the sounds of the ocean each night. We thought this would be perfect to relax. We saw a completely nude man by the pool and several women topless walking around. When we asked about it, they simply said that it was a swingers hotel. NOWHERE could I find that here on hotels.com OR even on the hotels main website. We did really enjoy 2 of their employees. Freddy and Ana were GREAT!! Our room was beautiful but lacking. When I asked for a refund for the 4 nights we were NOT staying there (we booked at an amazing resort nearby), they refused. They said we had to go to hotels.com for the refund. Hotels.com said they needed approval from the hotel. The hotel refused. I was forced to put in a claim with my bank. ALSO... the photos are BEAUTIFUL... the place looks like no one loves it. My husband wouldn't go in the pool because he almost cut his foot on broken tiles at the bottom (they were all over the pool), water pressure was HORRIBLE. Each shower was full of frustration. So many areas seemed broken, or just like the owners/managers simply didn't want to fix them. The elevator was also very old and uncared for. I had hoped this would be the perfect place to relax. We were left disappointed. FOOD was NOT good either. Drinks were ok. We DON'T RECOMMEND!!!

Room was always kept clean. The only way we received clean towels was to request towels from the concierge.

The food was not good not much selection

We booked Senses even though the reviews were mixed. We definitely weren't happy with the experience we had. The property needs some substantial repairs and maintenance. From the day we arrived, we had no hot water in our shower. We told the lobby staff and they sent the maintenance technician to our room. After several tries, he was able to get lukewarm water. We asked if the issue was just located to our room and we were told that this issue is throughout the hotel and that the water never gets hot. We overheard another couple telling the lobby staff about the lack of hot water. We were able to use the jet tub the whole length of our stay to bath as that did have hot water. We lost hot water in the tub the day before we were supposed to come home but they were able to fix it. We have messages back and forth on WhatsApp regarding both of these issues. The tub we had was cracked and also repaired in a few places. They also removed the shower head in the tub so you couldn't use it to shower. What appears to be a hot tub on the balcony is not. It's just a cold water immersion pool. The food was ok most days and be mindful of the all inclusive package. We were told via WhatsApp that their are limits to the premium alcohol based drinks you can have with your package. The service staff (servers) did all they could to make this an enjoyable experience. Santiago, Christian, and Mesero did an excellent job. I would recommend staying elsewhere until all of the issues can be fixed.

What a phenomenal boutique hotel. I have never experienced a small boutique property quite like this one. Every room overlooks the ocean and is incredibly spacious—approximately 1,000 square feet—which made the stay feel extra special and serene. This is not a party hotel, as there are no organized guest activities. Instead, it’s a place designed purely for relaxation—perfect for enjoying the ocean views, the pool, and the peaceful atmosphere. Finding the hotel was a bit unusual, as it’s tucked deep into the forest, but that only added to the charm. It truly felt like a hidden gem 💎 with strong Tulum-style vibes. The all-inclusive experience was good, though not exceptional. There is only one restaurant, and the food options are somewhat limited. Portions are quite small, so you’ll likely find yourself ordering multiple dishes to feel satisfied.
