Help us pick a room.

Postby speedyman » Tue Jul 18, 2017 2:42 pm

This August will be our first trip to Riviera Maya. We have been to Pearl several times. We will be getting a garden view room, but have no idea what rooms or buildings to request. We are pretty sure we don't want to be under the jacuzzi? We usually ask for an above ground level room in the seahorse building at Pearl. Is there something at RM that would be similar? Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks much.

Thanks Cokeman.
Do all the buildings only have 2 floors?
I see 1st, and PB on the map, what does PB mean? is that the second floor?

Yes

In US/Canada speak ;)
PB = Ground Floor
1st = Upper(Second) Floor

FYI - Example of room numbering, ie what's the difference between 2303 and 2313 ?
  • First two Digits are the bldg #, bldg# 23
  • Next digit is ground or upper(second) floor, 0 = ground floor 1 = upper(second) floor
  • Last digit is the actual room number, room 3

PB means planta baja, which is Spanish for lower floor.

Ok, got it. I got a c in highschool Spanish and that was a gift. Any specific room suggestions based on past experience? Garden view.

I hear the rooms under the jacuZi/hottub area are bigger but the water drainiage issues in the shower. Are the ocean view rooms more humid?

It replaced the old 1600 building -the new building houses just the Desire Suites - if you can afford $1700+ per night then that's the building for you - FYI all the suites in that building are the same
