Pros and cons of the Sensira Riviera Maya
PROS
- The hotel opened in 2021, so it’s still very new, and everything is pristine and shiny.
- Kids of any age can really go WILD with the incredible activities available. Plus, the kids and teens club closes at 9 pm, giving you the perfect time for a romantic dinner à deux.
- Guests will find a sophisticated dining experience comparable to that of fine-dining restaurants in major international cities.
- There is only one wedding per day, so you can be certain the staff will give your event their full attention.
CONS
- Honestly, the beach is not particularly interesting here, not as deep blue or clear as other areas nearby; however, coral reefs are super close, making it ideal for fishing trips or snorkeling tours.
- We sincerely hope it doesn’t rain on your wedding day, as your only backup option is the ballroom. It is huge and beautiful, but it’s the only option.
Rooms and Sections
Rooms are named after precious stones, reflecting the luxurious materials and exclusive amenities they offer. The modern Mexican decor will make you feel right at home in your own beach residence, with elegant wooden furniture, beautiful handmade textiles, and folk art pieces throughout. A tasteful delight.
Sapphire family rooms are huge accommodations that can fit 5 to 7 guests in extra-large suites with bunk beds, separated from the main room with a curtain for a little privacy, but still able to keep an eye on the young travelers.
The adults-only Amber section provides the ultimate relaxation with a hydro-massage tub, beautiful ocean views, personalized butler service, and access to the exclusive Bar Lounge.
The Beach
Sensira Riviera Maya is located at Bahia Petempich in Puerto Morelos, a laid-back, low-key Caribbean town where fishermen still bring the catch of the day to local restaurants and divers go to discover underground wonders at the reef just ashore.
The conditions of the water, sand, and reef can sometimes make the water look different from the Caribbean beaches you might expect. Anyways, the water is perfect for a refreshing swim, and the beach is long enough for a brisk morning walk or a romantic promenade at sunset.
Food & Drinks
Foodies at heart will be delighted with the sophistication and variety of each restaurant’s menu. Try the international buffet-style dining room, or exquisite Italian dishes, order some Mexican specialties, grab a quick bite at the casual snack bar, or pass by the tea house for some sweet treats.
If you are in the mood to see a show or perhaps give a show, you must visit Rodeo Grill steakhouse, where guests are encouraged to ride a mechanical bull for everyone’s entertainment. Just remember to do it BEFORE you have dinner!
For a more refined and sophisticated experience, Galerie Des Sens is an adults-only, intimate, refined restaurant inspired by the Louvre Museum, where Parisian specialties and fine wines are served.
For drinks, a lobby and beach bar are available to serve refreshments. Serendipity bar is the place to go for board games and enjoy the entertainment provided by the staff, and Knights English pub is the spot to spend some time with the gentlemen, play a few poker hands, and watch the game.
Activities, Sports & Kids Club
”Boring” is not a word you will think about during your stay at Sensira Riviera Maya. They have virtually everything and anything you could think of to have a great time with the whole family, your partner, or by yourself.
With many special areas designed for specific age groups, you can be confident your kids will be able to choose the type of activities they want to do, whether it’s expressing themselves artistically in a painting class, jumping through the air on the trampolines, or watching a movie at the cinema.
If your thing is spending time outdoors, you can play tennis, visit the mini golf, or take the kids to the wonderful aqua park. You can even go extreme at the climbing wall and the zip line across the pool area! Evening entertainment includes live music throughout the resort, daily shows and performances at the theatre, and a nightclub with a live DJ for the grown-ups.
Exchange Privileges
Staying at this property will not grant you access to any other resort in the area, but that’s OK, you will not have time to enjoy everything the resort has to offer anyway!
What makes this resort different from other all-inclusive resorts
What truly sets this property apart from the rest is its array of entertainment options for kids and adults alike. There is something happening all the time, every day, everywhere. Also, the larger rooms and suites offer ample space for families who want to stay together. It’s not that easy to find rooms that will accommodate 5 or 7 guests!
