About the Hotel

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.

Anniversary dinner at Sen Lin.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We just finished an anniversary dinner at Sen Lin with our 3 yo daughter We are overjoyed to share not only was the food fantastic from the presenter drinks to the amazing desert, but want to brag about our service from Johnny Luis and Aleajandro. They took such kind care of our daughter and provided a wonderful experience.

A Dreamy Family Babymoon Made Effortless – Ask for Jessica Meza!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

We had such a beautiful and memorable stay, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible personal concierge, Jessica Meza. Traveling with two young kids (and expecting our third!), Jessica made sure everything felt effortless and personalized—from the moment we arrived. Some of our favorite thoughtful touches: kid-sized slippers and robes, a step stool in the bathroom so our little ones could easily reach the sink, a stroller rental ready to go, beach toys, and even a soft bath sponge for the kids. Jessica even surprised us with a balloon arrangement featuring a teddy bear and pink & blue-covered strawberries—such a sweet gesture for our little “family babymoon.” Each day, she sent over a list of resort activities tailored for both us and the kids, and made sure we had dinner reservations every night. The entire property was so peaceful and family-friendly—engaging without ever feeling overstimulating. We loved the contrast between the tranquil Zen Pool (which felt like a daily spa experience) and the more energetic Ambassador Pool, which had live entertainment that changed every day. Poolside service was amazing throughout our stay, but Gabrielle at the Zen Pool truly stood out—always so attentive, kind, and just the best to be around. The service never disappointed. Our 6-year-old was obsessed with the zipline and bungee trampoline, while our 3-year-old enjoyed cooling off in the kids club. One afternoon we stumbled on a beachside surprise with fresh coconuts and hot BBQ—such a fun treat for everyone. One of the highlights was dining at the Michelin-starred restaurant. Jessica helped us book it, and even though I’m pregnant, they created a beautiful mocktail pairing for my tasting menu—it was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re visiting, I couldn’t recommend this place more for both families and adults. And definitely ask for Jessica Meza as your concierge. She made our trip seamless, special, and truly unforgettable. You won’t be disappointed!

Best vacation ever…

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

First time to Grand Velas, and our family had an amazing week. All 6 dinner restaurants were equally enjoyable. same was true of the water sports, spa, etc…. The entire staff was great but in particular make sure you ask for Antonio Saldivar (concierge) who made the trip even more special for us !!! We will be back for sure.

Unparalleled Hospitality

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

The Grand Velas was a true 5 star experience. Every day we were treated to the most amazing hospitality, incredible food, outstanding service and friendly smiles at every turn. Our concierge, Gilberto, was such a genuine, kind and thoughtful host. He anticipated our every need and made us feel like family while treating us like royalty. We cannot wait to come back. I wouldn't hesitate to give this resort a 5 star rating and the highest recommendation.
