Paradisus Playa del Carmen – Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"This resort was great. Very family oriented! I wish i had utilized the Kidsdome more because the one time i did my children raved about it! The only negative I have would say was that I did not pay for the family concierge, which really only left the buffet or the pool restaurant as options for lunch."
