Paraiso de la Bonita, Member of Royalton Reserve Collection | Cancun, Mexico | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Cancun, Mexico

5 stars

This one’s for the grown-ups. Tucked between jungle green and turquoise sea, Paraiso de la Bonita is the kind of place you escape to when you want to switch off, slow down, and be spoiled senseless. Think barefoot luxury meets 5-star flair - and yes, there are cocktails on arrival. Set in the heart of Riviera Maya, just 20 minutes from Cancun airport, this Luxury Collection Resort by Marriott ticks every box for a top-tier, adults-only getaway. With just 100 beachfront suites, it’s intimate, indulgent, and wonderfully laid-back. Every suite comes with an ocean view, stroll down from your room and you’re on a private white-sand beach, with daybeds, waiters, and not a whiff of a kids’ club. This isn’t your buffet-by-numbers hotel either. We’re talking four à la carte restaurants with serious flavour clout – from Yucatán fine dining at K’uhul to wood-fired Latin American fare at Joya, and even a swanky Chinese spot called Qin Qin. And because you’re on holiday, there’s no such thing as too many margaritas – bars here go from coffee to cocktails without missing a beat. There’s yoga, tequila tastings, cooking classes and art walks, all included. Or do absolutely nothing and let the staff top up your sunscreen and bring you another guava mojito. Your holiday, your rules.

“Excellent hotel, staff & amenities”

Feb 20, 2026Hare88

Excellent hotel, design, room & interesting grounds. Outstanding staff. Restaurants & food very good. Service could not have been better. Only issues - bathroom smell, TV never fixed, Mexican food could have been more creative/variety…otherwise 5 stars. Loved the animals, especially Sophia the parrot, Cosmo (peacock), the Cuetis & Iguanas. Special mentions to these staff who went above & beyond - Catherine Costa, Jarib, Roger & Iris (restaurants), Eduardo (room service), Alexandro & Ironi (front desk).

Having visited this property six times—previously under the original Zoetry and once with Playa Resorts management—I was hesitant to keep my reservation after the transition to Royalton, as the brands differ significantly. However, once we adjusted our expectations, we had an enjoyable visit. While the renovations to the rooms, public areas, and restaurants are tasteful, the guest room walkways, stairs, and building exteriors are showing their age and require more maintenance. Regarding the accommodations, please note that the "Queen" beds are undersized; as a 5'8" guest, my feet hung over the edge. We found the King room from our previous visit to be much more comfortable. Our dining experience was generally good, though we were disappointed that Joya changed its menu and removed several previous favorites. Breakfast service felt understaffed and disorganized. The Italian restaurant was excellent in both service and ambiance; Jorge at the bar deserves special recognition for his exceptional cocktails. The Asian restaurant offered a unique experience with a welcoming chef, but the main courses fell short, and we did not feel the experience justified the $100 per person upcharge. Despite this, Victor and Enrique provided five-star service. Enrique has been a long tenured employee, and it was great to see him again. The cocktail selection was good, but the wine quality was poor, and the lack of Rosado was disappointing for a beach resort. We also noted that the wine offered in the Diamond Club/Reserve was identical to the standard selection. Housekeeping was very efficient, and the app chat was a convenient tool for room requests. While there was an initial issue with used plates left in hallways attracting animals, staff addressed this promptly after we reported it. Pool service was a highlight. Jose was a "rock star" in his attentiveness, and Candido also provided great service. However, the resort needs a pool concierge or clearly marked bins for towel disposal, as used towels accumulated quickly when the resort reached capacity. We also thoroughly enjoyed the poolside food pop-ups and live music, particularly the piano player on Thursday. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. We hope management preserves the unique qualities that make this property special compared to other Royalton locations.

“Best pool in cancun”

Eugenio at poolside was fantastic! If you want a chaotic vacation do not come here… But if you are in search of peace and tranquility and amazing service, this is the for you. They make everyone feel VIP! boutique is the way to go. We have a very stressful life at home and do not want to vacation with 1 million other people.
