The Experience

Color combos of cream and terracotta predominate in the common spaces, while rooms are traditionally decorated, each and every one boasting its own balcony or patio with lounge furniture. All suites are equipped with a hydro-massage bathtub too. Bouje! The vibe is marble, travertine, and granite, all washed with an earth-tone color palette and finished with the flare of a modern Mexican hacienda.

INSIDER TIP -There’s absolutely no need to bring your own shampoo and shower gel as the Valentin have their very own brand of luxurious scented shower products. Thinking how many you can stash in your case on the way home? You’re in luck! They’re sold at the store at the resort, along with the lobby’s signature scent...

The footprint of this hotel is rather large…the grounds are sprawling, with palm trees and lush vegetation nestled between impressive archways, plazas, fountains and grand, vaulted ceiling walkways; getting from one side to another means a 10 to 15-minute walk, so you’ll definitely get your steps in!

Get this. The main pool, located a stone’s throw from the ocean, is one of the largest pools in the whole of the Riviera Maya! Their Golden pool is built ‘lazy-river’ style, accessible to guests staying on the ground floor from their terrazas.

Fancy cranking up the luxury notch a little? Privilege guests get reserved cushioned daybeds covered by palapas on the beach…maybe worth enquiring about that upgrade ;)

5-Star Experience

5* service is one thing that crops up again and again in reviews. No wonder why the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya has such a sky high returning-guest rate! There is such a range of activities, live music, evening entertainment and watersports on offer, it’s ideal for those who go a little stir crazy if they spend the whole day on a sunlounger by the pool. From aqua zumba to beach side yoga, latin dance classes under the stars to enjoying a boogie to the in-house DJ at the famous Plaza España, the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya’s Go Team are on hand to really maximize your days on vacation, from dawn to dusk.
