Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

Platinum Yucatan Princess Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved staying here! We had a swim out room right near the party pool and loved it! They had activities everyday and the staff is so welcoming and sweet! The bellhop guys remembered us by name and everyday they greeted us everytime we saw him! The entertainment team is so much fun too! Saturday’s foam party is amazing and coco bongo was the best time ever! Only thing I will say that I didn’t enjoy was how early we had to get up to reserve a chair by the pool seeing that it’s first come first serve. 100% though would recommend coming here to anyone who wants to have a good time and meet some great people!
