Sensira Resort & Spa Riviera Maya

Aaron Gomes

We’re a family of 5 (6,4,1 y/o) and this place was perfect for us. The staff are fantastic and food was surprisingly very good. There are critics of the beach because it draws seaweed. The staff is out every morning cleaning up as much as they can. Still totally fine to swim and enjoy. If you can’t deal, don’t go here. Kids splash pad is great for kids 1-7 y/o. Three restaurants for special dinners but the main dining buffet provides just as good, if not better meals. Plenty of indoor activities for kids as well if they need a break from the sun!

Our family had an amazing vacation at Sensira. This place was built for those with kids. From start to finish, we enjoyed every single day. The rooms were well set-up. The triple bunk in an adjoining room made it a great sleeping situation. The walk-in shower in a nice long bathroom, with a separate room with toilet, made it easy for all of us to wash off the sand and get ready each evening. The fact that the family rooms were on the ground floor gave us a great sense of security none of our children would fall over the railing a great distance. The food was awesome. The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch. We ate at one of the 4 restaurants each night. We found the steakhouse had a good variety for our picky eaters; and the mechanical bull was a blast! If you can, the French adults only restaurant is exceptional. The outdoor food joint with servers made eating during the day great, not having to leave your cabana or pool chair to get something to eat. The service was usually great. The only 2 negatives I can think of: the drink lines tended to get very long and would take a while, and housekeeping was very hit and miss. Sometimes our room wasn’t cleaned until after we left for supper; and the bar fridge was never refilled unless we called front desk (this included the bottled water). It wasn’t hard to stay entertained during our stay. The 4 pools available to families spread everyone out nicely, lots of chairs and daybeds available. Our kids really enjoyed the pool with all the water sprays and slides. The kids also loved the trampoline/foam pit/climbing area, it was a great way to burn off some energy. The pool tables, foosball and air hockey are all in rough shape. The video games were difficult to access as the sign-out area was infrequently attended. The movie theatre was a nice feature that we didn’t really use as the volume was always excessive. The beach was interesting; there was a significant build-up of seaweed at the start of our trip, but they did start to take care of it during our stay and didn’t really bother us much. The zip line was a lot of fun for our oldest. We didn’t utilize the beach volleyball (good set-up) or the paddle boards & kayaks (always available). Overall, great experience and would recommend to anyone with young kids; 14 and under would be my recommendation. Definitely the best value we found and weren’t disappointed.

We stayed as a family of four for 4 days. The service was amazing. The staff is great and very friendly. The facility is big enough, we don't like very big properties. The best part you don't have to walk miles before you hit the beach! Beach is literally right next to the pools. Food, entertainment, location, hospitality were all amazing! Highly recommended resort for both adults and kids. There's an adult only section as well.

This resort was amazing ! Very family friendly, especially kid friendly. I’ve been to 3 other resorts in Cancun and by far this location has the best alcohol drinks, the active and entertainment was so fun! My daughter loved the Disney show. Food was so good! I recommend this location you’re really trying to relax and are on vacation with your little one. Services was top notch, the services were so nice and very fast.

Kids paradise. Awesome place for a family with kids. Service was spotty, servers had preferences for guests and would completely overlook you. Every room I think has an ocean view so that was nice and unexpected. Shows were late (9pm) for kids. Buffet had nice options, including grill to order seafood and nice cuts of meats. Food leaned really heavily American which is not our personal preference but I can see the appeal to other travelers. Very clean overall and you see lots of maintenance staff constantly to upkeep the resort.
