My sister and i stayed at The Explorean. It was the other reviews that drew us in. Such an incredible surprise. It is a wonderful small quiet resort, but if you want some action you only have to walk a short distance the the Fiesta Americana, which you have full use of, for some fabuous shows at night. This resort offters excursions along with your stay and they were fabulous! Our main guide was Edgar. He and his co-works on each excursion took very very good care of us and made sure we ok enjoying ourselves and if you had a request or suggestion it was immediately considered. The Explorean has one restuarant with a full menu to chose from and everything we had was perfect, even the banana soup! Our waiter gave a bit to try and we were completely surprised at how good it was! I can not say enough about how GREAT. all the employees are. And our guide Edgar and his crews - fabulous ! We have already booked for next year!!!!! Thank you so much for make my dreams come true Explorean !

Had a lovely time at the Explorean. The pool was wonderful and the beach club was superb. I was able to find a free cabana pretty much every time I wanted one! The snorkeling right on the property was fantastic! In fact, it was even better than a few of the spots I visited on an independent tour (not with the Explorean) so bring your snorkel and some water shoes! The room itself was clean and comfortable. It was a little damp, but I think that has more to do with the climate and building materials than it does on the hotel itself. There was a slight issue with the shower area flooding one night in my room. I called the front desk on the way to dinner and explained the situation. When I got back from dinner, there were several people in the room working on the issue! It didn't flood again after that. They were incredibly efficient! Everyone was incredibly lovely and I would absolutely visit again!

Excellent experience at the Explorean! We were drawn to the resort because of the good reviews and because the excursions were included. We weren't sure what to expect with the excursions (they could been so-so since they were included) and we were very surprised. The excursions were wonderful. Guides Edgar and Jaciel were particularly excellent! So friendly and helpful! The food at both the Explorean and the adjacent Fiesta Americana was fantastic. We loved the jungle environment of the Explorean, and the snorkelling right in front of the Fiesta Americana was amazing!

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful boutique style property. The included excursions were so fun, the guides were friendly, enthusiastic, took very good care of the guests. About 20 steps from bigger hotel with access to more amenities, restaurants, beach. Very convenient to have options of the two very different hotels. Very happy we stayed at the Explorean, look forward to returning.

We traveled to the Explorean for 2 weeks January 16-30 2024. We had a wonderful experience. Facilities: 5*. Excellent restaurant available all day. Pool wonderful and warm. Lovely walking paths to listen to birds. Bar includes all top-shelf spirits. Little sweets display had some amazing desserts. Rooms: 4*. Clean and comfortable. Need more storage though. Quiet. Lots of hot water. Wish they had screen doors on porch. Staff: 5* plus another 100*. They really make this place. Julio, Jaciel, Armando and Nestor leading activities are gems of humans! We will return because of them. Gabriel and Fermin at restaurant were very attentive servers. Activities: 5*. Although we prefer water activities, all were well-organized and, of course, included. What's not to love? Location: 5*. Super close to airport. Tucked in behind Fiesta Americana (you get all their facilities, which are amazing). About a 5 minute walk to beautiful waterfront with prime snorkeling right there. Cevecheria, grill, and breakfast and lunch buffet are there as well and food was wonderful. Staff serve drinks to you wherever you sit. Lots of Bali beds and loungers. Resort is for those who love nature, small resorts, and who have good mobility (some up and down areas). Safe and chill. Amazing value for price. Highly recommend! There aren't enough characters here for me to rave about the Explorean. Can't wait to return soon!

Came with my girlfriend and had an amazing stay. I’ve been to probably a dozen all inclusives and this was my favorite so far. If you are looking for a big beach with powdery white sand, this is not the spot, but the snorkeling was awesome. Pool was nice. The food was still resort food, but definitely better than most. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. The staff was amazing all around. The included excursions seemed like a good time but we didn’t have time to take advantage of them because we only had a quick three day stay. We go to the riviera maya once or twice a year and usually just go with whatever the best deal is when booking, but will definitely come back to Explorean next time. Can’t wait to come back.

We spent a week at the Explorean. The hotel and staff exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent, the pool and grounds were always clean and the room was roomy, comfortable and clean. They added a roll away bed for my 6yr old son, which was a nice addition to help make our stay comfortable. The included excursions were what set this hotel apart from others. The excursion staff are great. On days where the weather didn't cooperate, they had alternative plans and we always had a fun time. I have already recommended this hotel to friends and family.

Resort with smaller and more boutique like much better than a mega resort. Never more than second in line for almost anything. Drinks were high quality alcohol. Southwest fresh definitely recommend making reservations at the restaurants the Mexican was our favorite. Play classic example everyone was friendly welcoming and helpful from the front desk to the bartenders too The tour guides. It's really nice to be in a Mexican resort where everyone genuinely likes working there. Make sure you bring some small bills $1 or two tip really makes a big difference to them you don't have to tip every time but occasionally it's very helpful. We would return again and found it an excellent value for the money
