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.

My experience at Grand Velas Riviera Maya was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, everything felt seamless, serene, and thoughtfully curated. A huge part of what made this stay so special was my concierge, Luis Meza. He went above and beyond every step of the way—always attentive, proactive, and genuinely kind. Whether it was coordinating reservations, assisting with anything I needed, or simply making sure everything was perfect, he truly elevated the entire experience. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. It has such a quiet, peaceful, and serene atmosphere perfect for fully unwinding. The spa was a standout experience relaxing, luxurious, and incredibly well done. My room was excellent spacious, comfortable, and always impeccably clean when I returned. That attention to detail did not go unnoticed. And the food… honestly amazing. Every restaurant delivered. The quality, presentation, and variety across the board made dining something I looked forward to every day. Overall, Grand Velas Riviera Maya is a truly special place. Between the stunning surroundings, top-tier service, and unforgettable hospitality, I would absolutely come back again.

We had another great stay at Grand Velas. Our concierge, Lío Lopez, was great! He handled reservations, transportation, checked in on us several times a day, and created a special celebration for our son’s college acceptance, which meant so much to us. Luz, Jorge, Eduardo, Alex, and the rest of the staff were all warm, attentive, and welcoming. Our room was clean, and the turndown service was a nice touch. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

Best resort in the world. Emanuelle at the pool took excellent care of my family and I all week. He made sure it was a relaxing vacation for us all. Lucca is my favorite restaurant in the world (Italian.) Sen Lin and Frida are excellent as well. Everyone at the resort is happy to assist you in anything you need. This truly is the best vacation I’ve ever had. This was our second time here and we plan to come back very soon.

Overall, we had a great stay at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Our Zen Grand Suite was spacious and clean, and we loved the tranquil atmosphere over there. The property as a whole is very well maintained. Our concierge, Jessica, was fabulous— so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Other highlights include the Kids Club (my kids loved it) and the spa! We felt the food was just ok— the à la carte restaurant dinners were better than the buffets. Service was mostly excellent across the property but a bit spotty poolside. We traveled over spring break so it was definitely busy, but it never felt overwhelmingly crowded. The only time we noticed was in our daily fight to find pool chairs. Overall, the resort shines in its family-focused atmosphere and amenities.

My family visited over spring break and it was phenomenal. The amenities, quality of food and the service were above all expectations. Our room was beautiful and so big for our family of four. The pool was peaceful and beautiful and the food was delicious. What set our trip apart from other was Luis, our concierge for the week. He truly cared about our experience and looked in all the details from dinner bookings, activities or any minor question, Luis was there to ensure our family trip was restful and fun. He truly was exceptional . Could not recommend this place enough!!
