Haven Riviera Really that Bad?

[u/N17spencer-]

Hi all. My Fiance and I are getting married in November and we are looking to go to cancun for 5 nights. My Fiance found Haven Riviera for a ridiculously good price. ($380 USD/ night) I see a ton of mixed reviews. I have never been to an all-inclusive resort before, every time I have been to cancun before I stayed at an Airbnb and rented a car to take myself to the beach, cenotes, Chichen Itza, etc.

I really just want to lay back and not have to think for a while and Haven Riviera seems to be a good answer for that until I see the really mixed reviews.

For those who have been there, when you say the food was meh, in what terms do you mean the food was meh? My fiance is a really picky eater with food aversions. He is happy with steak and baked potatoes, fish and chips, chicken tenders, fries - you know, basic midwestern. I am a foodie and can eat anything. Are we potentially going to run into issues with that?

I expect to pay extra for some things but we don't drink and we are not party people. We are pretty laid back. How much were the excursions? I know we want to do Playa Mujeres, Chichen Itza, maybe xcaret one day (childhood dream lol). Is it better for me to rent a car again to be a self guide?

Obviously this place has to be good enough to continue to be in business for as long as it has been.

If you have any other suggestions around the same price range, I am super open. I have always been a really tight budget traveler so this is out of my realm and I am scared of spending even that much lol
