What are the rooms like at the Platinum Yucatan Princess?
You have six options of room categories. Rooms range from suites like the one below to swim out suites and honeymoon suites. We have to say the rooms are very nicely appointed.

Activities, pools, and what the beach is like
Activities at the Platinum Yucatan Princess
If laying on the beach or relaxing by the pool is not your thing, this hotel offers numerous activities for you. They include:
- Batting cage
- Archery
- Paddle boarding on a manmade lagoon.
- Gym
Spas
There are two spas on this property. The indoor spa offers beauty treatments, has a full salon, sauna, massage services, and a water therapy. The Mayan Spa is located in the lush garden. Here you can Mayan inspired treatments which also include some Mayan rituals. When we toured this spa the setting looks like the perfect place to relax and we love the large tubs that look like hollowed out logs.
Pools
The hotel has several large pools with swim up bars. Some of the rooms have swim out access from your room. There is no need to leave you room to go to the pool.
Some of the pools are where the action is and others are quiet places to relax. If you are coming here as a couple to spend time with each other or meet other people, this resort has spaces and opportunities to enjoy your time in the Riviera Maya.
What is the beach like at the Platinum Yucatan Princess Hotel?
The beach is separated from the hotel by a small mangrove area. When you get to the beach area, it is narrow and dotted with trees. This stretch of beach is more remote feeling because there are not resorts right up against this hotel.
There is a beach bar and lounge chairs available for guest. This beach does have areas with rocks so some caution is necessary when entering the water.
Our Recommendations for the Platinum Yucatan Princess Resort
Overall, we feel this resort appeals to people ages 32-51.3 years old. The rooms, food and overall quality of this resort are well priced for your vacation. This is a great resort to relax at and for people who want to have a little better standard of food and service at than other resorts priced similar or below.

My spouse and I have just returned from there and had a fantastic time. Would travel there again in a heartbeat. Loved everything about the resort, despite the horrendous amount of seaweed along the shoreline this year.
