Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya – Adults Only

“Heaven on earth!”

“I am hard to please, but this resort is 10/10”

Stayed in building 1 silver room with prive. Personally, prive was worth it alone for the saved Bali beds on the beach/pool. We used it daily as I despise the beach chairs. Plus the prive sections are in prime locations (to me) so that was a major win. We also used the concierge to book a couple re… more

Stayed in building 1 silver room with prive. Personally, prive was worth it alone for the saved Bali beds on the beach/pool. We used it daily as I despise the beach chairs. Plus the prive sections are in prime locations (to me) so that was a major win. We also used the concierge to book a couple restaurants for special occasions and that worked out great. We ate lobster 3 nights and it was delish. Being from Nova Scotia we were unsure if the lobster here would be any good and although it’s different, it was prepared well and had a delicious butter sauce for dipping. Loved the room! Very spacious. Used the jacuzzi tub every evening to relax. Room was always cleaned extremely well no complaints and at a reasonable time (some resorts I’ve returned at the end of the day - not done at all!!) Made use of some special amenities a such as the coffee bar- delicious coffee and iced coffee as well as little treats and ice cream! I loved this asset. Churro cart was a must one we learned where it was. We aren’t big night time people so can’t comment on the entertainment. We have been to ai’s over 10 times and you can only see so many Michael Jackson shows 😕 we did not go to the sports bar as it was too loud when we opened the door. I believe the football fans congregate there for games. Sounded fun if that’s your thing! No visit to don miguels either although it looked very pretty. Restaurants!! The best restaurant was Taman Sari by a long shot!! We were both so surprised at how good the food was there. The ribs and chicken satay were 10/10. We almost went back the next night. I don’t know if it gets as much PR as the Japanese or Italian but all should give it a try! Italian- it was ok. Not the best braised short rib I’ve had but not the worst. I’d go back and try the pastas next time. French (Alsace) again it was good but I have had better at home. The buffet at this place was wow amazing. I loved the food there- such variety! And all very tasty. I wish it was open in the evening. Steakhouse- my husband loved his meal and me not so much. Ribeye was tough 😕 service at all places was outstanding!! We also ordered room service a couple times and it was very good. Flavourful and fresh. All in all, my husband and I aren’t huge drinkers so I can’t really comment too much on that but the “super man” drink it delicious and I highly recommend. Also ask for don julio for tequila shooters if you like it a bit better going down. We loved this resort and would definitely come back. The grounds were immaculate, lovely people (no drunken fools), food was quite good and just a great vibe. We are middle age- I wouldn’t really wanna come here in my early 20’s but that just from my past experiences of AI’s I liked in my 20’s haha. Thanks and I hope this helps someone decide on trying the VIM!!
