The best part about Mareazul is that the restaurant, pool, beach, corner store, gym, spa, and reception are all within a 5-minute walk from your condo. There's no taking a tram miles around a compound just to buy a carton of milk, just walk up to the reception desk, take a u-turn and there's the shop.
Our condo was immaculately clean, we had a view over the picturesque pool, and a full kitchen to cook our meals, which we did to save money rather than going to restaurants.
The pool is huge and warm. There were 2 different restaurants, one for breakfast and lunch, the other for lunch and dinner. You can order delicious beverages both alcoholic and non-alcoholic if you prefer.
If you need a taxi, the reception desk will find you one within minutes. My one recommendation though is to make a meal plan for the week and buy everything all at once, so you don't have to take multiple trips. Cabs are expensive in the Riveria Maya, so unless you rent a car or pay a cabby for the week, there's no way around it. It's the only mode of transportation Also, bring your own bags, the large grocery stores don't provide them.
If you want to do shopping for souvenirs, 5th Avenue is less than a 15-minute cab ride away. if you feel like golfing, the golf course is a 5-minute cart ride away, which they will bring to pick you up. If you need cash, there's a large all-inclusive resort that's a 10-minute walk from Mareazul.
I highly recommend staying here :-)
