Crystal clear ocean waters, lush jungles and intriguing cenotes make Mexico's Riviera Maya a tropical paradise. It is here that all-inclusive luxury is redefined at the new Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Fronting the white sand beaches of the Caribbean coast, the resort is fringed by a lush Yucatan jungle, promising a rich selection of activities on land and at sea, as well as the serenity of a secluded beach. The brilliant Caribbean offers opportunities for kayaking, sailing, sport fishing or a refreshing swim, perhaps with sea lions and dolphins. Choose to explore the jungles by horseback or on an exciting zip line tour through the canopy, stopping to relax in a natural hot spring. The Riviera Maya is a playground in the sun, and now with Grand Velas, it is home to spectacular tropical luxury.

Beautiful location, pristine environment and the most attentive and friendly staff that we have experienced in any location. We were completely awestruck at how elaborate and expansive the property was. Our room was beautiful , clean and every tiny detail was thought of. We also had the VERY best of care around the clock from our personal concierges, Alfonso & Braulio. They went out of their way to make our time relaxing and worry free and they were so pleasant to visit with.

What a phenomenal resort! From the moment we stepped off the transfer to the moment we stepped back on, we felt so welcomed, appreciated, and safe! Alfonso and Braulio were nothing short of amazing as our concierge. The spa experience was lovely and easily the best spa I’ve been to. The restaurants were full of delicious options and not a single thing disappointed. The pools, bars, staff, rooms, and everything in between was spectacular! Highly recommend!

We recently visited the Grand Velas Riviera Maya for a business trip that started with a couple days of fun before, and had an exceptional experience, largely thanks to our personal concierges, Alfonso and Braulio. They provided outstanding service, ensuring every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Their dedication to making our stay special truly stood out, and we highly recommend them to any future guests!

Our stay at this resort was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! The service was truly exceptional, especially our personal concierges, José Juan & Miguel, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect—including the gorgeous view! They took care of all the reservations and schedule out events. Most important they took the time to surprised our family every day with beautiful flower arrangements, treats, a tipi house, and balloon decorations. These thoughtful touches made our stay extra special! ⛺️💐🏰🎈✨ The Aqua Bar staff, Luz & Samuel Jesus (training), were also incredible—so friendly, attentive, and always welcoming. The beach was amazing and extremely relaxing my kids enjoyed every minute. The guys at the beach are very welcoming and attentive.😎 The food was outstanding, with amazing restaurants and so many delicious options. We received exceptional service and memorable experiences at Lucca (Angel), Azul (Rosi, Chef Francisco García & Señor Limpiador), Frida (Francisco), and Cocina de Autor, which was a completely different and unforgettable dining experience—and clearly deserving of its Michelin Star! ⭐️ Every meal was something to look forward to! The entire property was beautiful, spotless, and extremely well maintained, with incredible amenities for the whole family. A special shoutout to Gabriela (pool hostess), who stopped by every day to clean our sunglasses! 😎✨ Such a fun and thoughtful touch! Our kids especially loved the Kids Club, and our babysitter, Roberta, was wonderful—professional, caring, and someone we felt completely comfortable trusting with our children. ❤️ The only disappointment was that the Zen Pool area was closed during our stay. Our family really loves the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of that area, so we were definitely sad to miss it. This was our second time visiting this resort, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. We felt truly spoiled, cared for, and welcomed throughout our entire stay. We can’t wait to come back for our next visit! ❤️🌴✨ Highly recommend this resort for an unforgettable family vacation!

We have stayed so many times at Grand velas resorts especially at riviera Maya. All our stays are always amazing so we keep coming back but this trip was especially spectacular. The concierge we had zuly and Sophia made the trip very memorable. They were good about helping us with reservations. Staying on track with daily reminders. On our trip we participated in one of the resort activities: honey tasting which was a nice experience and would highly recommend to do as a family or as a couple. I wish they had more such fun activities through out the day. The only downside to this trip was that the housekeeping, Which was not upto par as it has been on previous stays. It was definitely not by any means bad it just could have been better in the attention to detail in cleaning up the room. It was low season right now in August so it felt like we had the place pretty mush to ourselves and the staff was extremely attentive. The concierge made the stay very nice by doing a special surprise decoration in the room with balloons and prepared the bathtub for a nice warm bath. The kids enjoyed going to the kids club every day and actually looked forward to it. Dinners we had at Piaf ( adults only) but this was amazing for us. We had not tried it on our past trips but so glad we did this time. Frida was a disappointment. We never liked it in the past either but definitely was hoping it got better but no… the service and food at this one was not as good as we were hoping. Went to Lucca twice and both times was great! Sen Lin is always a hit for us but we were just sad that it was open only once during our stay. Definitely recommend booking dinner reservations ahead of your trip by a few weeks if possible.
