Royalton Reserve Paraiso de la Bonita | Puerto Morelos, Mexico | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Puerto Morelos, Mexico

5 stars

This one’s for the grown-ups. Tucked between jungle green and turquoise sea, Royalton Reserve Paraíso 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.

“One of the best hotels we have been to”

Jul 13, 2026M850XZmikew

My wife and I stayed here in late June. We cannot say enough about this resort. We wanted a quiet hotel with a less crowded vibe and that is exactly what we got. This resort is very chill and laid back. We booked an oceanfront with a private plunge pool. The small plunge pool was perfect. I didn’t want to leave the room. The staff was amazing - especially at the piano bar. They will craft a cocktail to your liking. The salt water/mineral pool was amazing. We went daily. My only complaint would be other guests that viewed this hotel like a party hotel in Cancun’s hotel zone. This is not one of those hotels. You can decompress here. Wildlife is everywhere - iguanas, peacocks and coati’s. Families of animals are everywhere. If you don’t like iguanas be aware - they are all over the place. Food was great. Beach is not as good as some hotel zone hotels but the trade off is peace and quiet. Bathroom was one of the best we have seen. Huge walk in shower was awesome! Thank you. We will be back soon.

“A Place Away From Home - That Felt Like Home”

Jul 13, 2026Gimmemorefun

My mom and I recently stayed at El Paraíso de la Bonita, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about our experience. One of my favorite things about the property is how intimate it feels. Unlike many large all-inclusive properties, this one has a completely different atmosphere. It was originally designed as a hacienda, and you can still feel that throughout the property. It feels warm, peaceful, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to truly disconnect and relax. Another thing I loved was how connected you feel to nature. Between the beautiful landscaping and the wildlife throughout the property, it felt like such a special place. I even made friends with Cosmo, the resident peacock, and Sofia, the beautiful scarlet macaw, who quickly became some of my favorite parts of our stay. What made the biggest impression on me, though, was the people. Every associate made us feel genuinely welcome. I especially loved how they would place their hand over their heart while speaking to us and say things like, “Welcome home.” It wasn’t just something they said. You could actually feel that they meant it, and it made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. I also have to mention the food because it completely changed my expectations of an all-inclusive experience. Instead of large buffets, the restaurants offer thoughtfully curated menus made with fresh, natural ingredients. Dining at Qin Qin and K’uhul felt like a fine dining experience, with beautifully prepared dishes and smaller portions that allowed us to try a variety of incredible flavors. The highlight of our stay was Chef Javier at Qin Qin. I have allergies to fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and seeds, so traveling can make dining stressful. Once Chef Javier learned about my allergies, he immediately found ways to make me feel included instead of limited. He created a personalized seven-course dinner just for my mom and me, designed entirely around what I could safely eat. Some of my favorite dishes were his Tom Yum-inspired soup, sushi made with sweet plantain, avocado nigiri, and several dishes showcasing molecular gastronomy techniques that made the experience even more unique. What meant the most to me wasn’t just how delicious the food was. It was the time and care he took to create an experience specifically for me. Anyone with food allergies knows how easy it is to feel like an inconvenience, but Chef Javier made me feel special. That is something I’ll remember forever, and to me, that’s what true hospitality is all about. I also want to recognize German, the restaurant manager, who was incredibly thoughtful and proactive in making sure we always had everything we needed. Thank you as well to Enrique and Kenny for taking such great care of us throughout our meals, and to Catherine, who gave us a beautiful handmade origami butterfly on our last night. It was such a thoughtful gesture and the perfect way to end our stay. Thank you to everyone at El Paraíso de la Bonita for making us feel so cared for. We left with amazing memories, new friendships, and a place we’ll definitely return to.

“Not quite 10/10”

Jul 12, 2026Samantha W

We went on our first annual sister trip to this resort and chose it for relaxation, but to start our arrival was mediocre. When we arrived via car service there was no one to greet us. We walked in to the fountain area not knowing where to go. For a luxury resort definitely did not expect this low level of service. When the gentleman inside saw us he came out and greeted us. We told him about what happened and he offered to get us welcome drinks and cold towels. We did receive an upgrade to the plunge pool room which was greatly appreciated. After changing and getting to the main pool area we asked a gentleman if an umbrella can be moved that no one was using to accommodate an area with 3 chairs for my sisters and I he said no it’s not possible to move any umbrellas. No one brought us to a chair and set it up with towels. No one asked us if we wanted a drink or food. Of course when I asked for a manager then they want to jump and provide better service. Unfortunately the manager never came until shift change and a gentleman came to speak with us. He apologized and asked if there’s anything he can do but I mean at an all inclusive resort what more is there to receive. We received the best most amazing service from Landy while at the pool and in the piano bar. When I say she was exceptional she was chefs kiss. We had a great time with her and she made up for our first lack luster service from day one. I recommend sitting in her area when you are at the pool. Enrique L was also amazing. When he heard about our service he just chose to go above and beyond helping us with whatever we needed. He brought us cold towels, gelato and fun drinks throughout our stay. He even set up dinner for us and chairs by the pool. He was great as well. There was another caveat, at the restaurants when receiving water we asked if the water in the pictures were bottled water and they said yes. We asked multiple times at different places so we thought okay this is bottled water. Two out of three of us drank that water. The two of us that drank the water ended up with travelers diarrhea. Now I can’t confirm that it was from the water but we all ate the same foods and drank the same drinks. But one sister did not drink that water. Overall the rooms are gorgeous but the service could be a little bit better as a whole. Some were definitely better than others. Entertainment could be better as well, I had my speaker by the pool and other people enjoyed it. I understand it’s more relaxing but if you have maybe from 12-4 with music other than the elevator music playing from the speakers it would give a bit more fun to the atmosphere.
