We visited Margaritas for dinner with a party of six. Since we didn’t have reservations, we were a little worried we wouldn’t be able to get a table. Leticia greeted us and asked about our reservation, and when we told her we didn’t have one, she saw how excited we were to experience the restaurant ...

I just experienced one of the most delicious set menus I’ve had in a very long time here at this resort. Honestly, it felt like dining at an André Michelin-star-level experience.

You never really know what you’re going to get with a resort that you’ve never been to before but i can honestly say we had an amazing experience!

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Dining & bars

10 restaurants8 à la carte2 buffets12 bars4 swim-up barsReservations at some venues— International buffet · Italian · Mexican · Japanese · Steakhouse · Mediterranean · Seafood · American · Ice cream and coffee

Official Ocean Hotels page lists 10 restaurants, 12 bars, two buffet restaurants, eight themed restaurants, four pool bars, two snack bars, bowling alley, theatre and disco.

Pools & waterplay

5 poolsSwim-up barWaterparkKids' pool

Official source lists four outdoor pools including a children's pool and a water park; Travelocity lists five outdoor pools and four swim-up bars.

The beach itself

Swimmability varies by seasonEntry varies along the shoreSargassum: seasonal (typically spring through late summer in the Riviera Maya)

Beachfront resort on the Riviera Maya seafront; guest feedback is consistently stronger for pools and facilities than the beach, with seasonal sargassum and beach usability concerns.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports — the sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

For Families

Taking the kids to Ocean Riviera Paradise?

A family week turns on the details brochures skip — whether the kids' club is genuinely supervised, who watches the baby on date night, and whether four of you fit in one room. Here's what we've verified.

Kids' club
Supervised program
Teen program
Exists, but low-key — don't book around it
Beach for young swimmers

Dinner reservations

Family infrastructure includes Daisy Club, water park, children's pool, bowling and entertainment; teen programming is present but not strongly evidenced through recent guest reports.

Questions parents ask

Does Ocean Riviera Paradise have a kids' club, and from what age?

Yes — Ocean Riviera Paradise runs a supervised kids' club. Hours and age bands shift seasonally, so confirm before booking.

Is the beach at Ocean Riviera Paradise good for young children?

Swimmability varies by season, and the entry varies along the shore. Sargassum seaweed is seasonal (typically spring through late summer in the Riviera Maya) — check recent reports for your travel month.

Is there anything for teenagers at Ocean Riviera Paradise?

Technically — there's a teen space at Ocean Riviera Paradise, but recent reports describe it as low-key. Don't book around it; the pools, sports, and beach carry that age group here.

Do you need dinner reservations at Ocean Riviera Paradise?

At some restaurants — book the à la carte venues early in your stay and keep the buffet as the no-plan fallback for meltdown nights.

Kids' club ages, hours, and babysitting availability change seasonally — confirm with the resort before booking.

Cons

  • Beach quality is inconsistent
  • Large resort can feel busy
  • Service varies by outlet
  • Exact main-entrance coordinates need manual verification

Things to know

  • Ocean Riviera Paradise is a true 24-hour all-inclusive and one of the larger family-focused resorts north of Playa del Carmen.
  • Its core strengths are pools, water park, restaurants, bars, activities and room-category depth.

  • Privilege categories are worth considering for guests who dislike large-resort service friction.

Hidden tips

  • Choose Waterpark Side for families prioritizing proximity to kids' activities.

Things people wish they knew

From Reddit

Reddit was searched, but Ocean Riviera Paradise-specific signal is thinner than TripAdvisor and OTA coverage; mainstream review sources drive most consensus.
