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 90 beachfront suites, it’s intimate, indulgent, and wonderfully laid-back. Every suite comes with an ocean view, no “partial sea glimpse from behind a tree” nonsense here. 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 sunrise yoga, tequila tastings, cooking classes, art walks, and snorkeling trips, all included. Or do absolutely nothing and let the staff top up your sunscreen and bring you another guava mojito. Your holiday, your rules.

“Paradise Place! Fantastic Vacation! *****”

Oct 22, 2025KZheleznyakov

This September, we vacationed at Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya. We've been staying here since 2009 and have visited over 13 times. This resort was previously owned by another company. We loved the place, its atmosphere, its natural beauty, and its location. In 2023, the resort had undergone a change in ownership, causing it to close while the property underwent renovations. After their opening, we eagerly returned in September 2025, and it is safe to say that everything has become MUCH BETTER! The rooms have been beautifully renovated with a modern style. The restaurants and all the spaces have been designed in a cozy way. The food and menu was excellent. Although there was a lot of seaweed in the ocean when we were there and we could not swim, we were more than happy to sit by the magnificent seawater pool in which we spent more time than in a regular pool. All of the rooms are ocean-front, as all the houses are located along the seashore, a rarity. The rooms are large and consist of two rooms and have terraces. In addition to the place itself being cozy and familiar, we were delighted to receive highly professional service and a friendly attitude. The resort fully deserves a five-star rating. We attribute much of this to General Manager Cesar Eslava. We met him during check-in, and he did everything to make our vacation unforgettable. Big thank you to guest manager Diego, his assistant Romeo, butlers Rene and Daniel, waiters Enrigue and Jonathan, chef Javier, pool attendant Eugenio, and bartender Candido for taking care of us and providing impeccable service. If you're looking for a relaxing and beautiful place with high-quality service, excellent food, and high-quality rooms, this is the place for you. A huge thank you to all the staff, and we look forward to visiting again!

“Relaxing time away”

Oct 21, 2025kari0824

We just returned from a romantic getaway to this resort. Overall, if you’re looking for a very lowkey vibe, no loud music or distractions, and plan to mainly stay at the resort, then this resort is your vibe. The resort is newly opened as of Jan 2025 so we extended grace as far as construction that was underway and the minimal offerings. It was only at 40% occupancy (approx 40 rooms) when we were there and it was perfect. Pros: rooms are incredibly spacious. We had an ocean front room with a plunge pool and it was probably one of the largest rooms we’ve stayed at in an all inclusive. Food was great, especially for an all inclusive. No buffets, no dinner reservations required or needed. The woman who manages the taco station during breakfast is great and is a must try! Dinner at the Mexican restaurant was great, don’t miss out on the beef tenderloin and the octopus taco. If dining at the French/italian restaurant make sure to try the burrata. Pappardelle with clams was also tasty. Desserts everywhere were great. Room service food was good also (try the smoked bacon burger). When dining by the pool (Joya restaurant) make sure to try the smoked pear salad (we added prosciutto), the steak tacos and shrimp tacos were good and all of the grilled proteins. They only have 3 restaurants and each one is solid. Room service was never lacking. The room was cleaned everyday and we never ran out of clean towels. Service-wow everyone is just so nice and it felt like they all shared the responsibility of keeping things running around the resort. Some folks that we encountered that were great were-Melissa (restaurant host), Candido, Eugenio, Mauricio, Felipe, and Ivan. But really everyone was great. Cons: resort is located down a VERY bumpy road. Don’t let that scare you! The resort has minimal activities (which is ok) but for the limited wellness and epicurean experiences you have to sign up with the concierge. It was would useful if the app was uploaded to include that information and allow you to sign up once you’re there. It would be helpful to also include how long the experiences were since we did a meditation that lasted 30 mins, a ceviche class that was 15 mins and a mezcal class that went the full hour. There is no presence on the beach, no beach chairs and no service. Not sure why (sargasm appeared under control) so maybe this will change. As mentioned, nighttime activities are very limited, mainly live musical performances (like a piano player or sax player). Like with the other activities, it would be good to know these offerings in advance or via the app so we can plan accordingly. Lastly, the bugs oh the bugs. We unfortunately weren’t able to utilize our outdoor space because the mosquitos were not having it. Next time we’ll try a room on the upper floors-hopefully that makes a difference.

“Culinary Gem”

Oct 20, 2025Nicola L

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Culinary Gem Hidden in Paradise – K’uhul, Riviera Maya During our stay at Paraiso La Bonita Riviera Maya, recently taken over by Marriott Vacations, we discovered a true hidden gem — K’uhul, a restaurant dedicated to authentic Mexican cuisine made entirely with local ingredients. At first, we dined à la carte and were already impressed by the flavors and presentation. But then something remarkable happened. The restaurant manager, Raul, approached our table and personally invited us to return for a custom-made dinner crafted by Chef Javier — anything we wanted, made to order. My husband requested an authentic Mexican meal — “make me a dinner as if I were in your abuela’s kitchen,” he said. And Chef Javier delivered beyond words. He created a seven-course masterpiece that took us on a culinary journey through Mexico’s regions and traditions. From traditional tacos bursting with flavor, to a rich Oaxacan seafood soup with clams, mussels, and crab, to perfectly breaded shrimp, tender fresh octopus, and finally, churros with warm caramel sauce — every bite was extraordinary. The service was impeccable. Raul ensured that every detail was perfect, while Chef Javier personally presented each course with pride and passion. With over 14 years of experience — and entirely self-taught — his talent is undeniable. I truly believe Chef Javier is destined for greatness; one day, he’ll have his own restaurant, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it earns a Michelin Star. If you’re visiting the Riviera Maya, do not miss K’uhul. This isn’t just dinner — it’s a culinary experience that captures the heart and soul of Mexico.
