El Dorado Royale, a sprawling 450-acre oceanfront property, is an adults-only all-inclusive resort with a dizzying array of amenities. With 13 gorgeous pools, seven restaurant options, a handful of bars, an incredible spa, and activities like yoga, snorkeling, and kayaking, guests will never be bored, or hungry, during their stay. Rooms have nice features like fully stocked mini-bars and large balconies, but don’t feel as luxurious as they could be for the price and four-and-a-half pearl rating. With unsightly sand bags and a rocky ocean floor, the beach is not the prettiest, nor is it the best for swimming. Like many other all-inclusives, the food is mediocre, and quality varies between restaurants. Guests looking for something a bit more intimate with better rooms should check out El Dorado Casitas Royale, which is located on the same property as El Dorado Royale, and shares its restaurants and amenities.

Senses Riviera Maya by Artisan is a chic all-inclusive boutique with a sexy side. Kids aren't allowed and there's a nude area and whirlpools on the rooftop deck -- plus the grounds are decorated with au naturel statues. The boutique sports 38 massive rooms with luxe bathrooms, private terrace plunge pools, and spectacular ocean views. The oceanfront infinity pool is a favorite with guests, while the restaurant serves up drinks and food with mixed reviews. Beach access, a shuttle to Playa del Carmen, and free yoga are big pluses. However, the upscale hotel has cut back on in-room amenities, disconnected room kitchenettes, and weakened the minibar selection.
