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.

This review is a year overdue, but checking into Moon Palace this year finally pushed me to write it. Our stay at Grand Velas was a perfect 10/10, and it’s become the benchmark we now hold every all-inclusive in Mexico and the Caribbean against. Unfortunately, Moon Palace didn’t come close to matching the level of service, aesthetic beauty, and overall class that Grand Velas delivered. The service was fantastic from start to finish. The rooms were genuinely high-end — beautifully designed and styled with real attention to detail. We had our own private en-suite pool, perfect for dipping our feet in and unwinding. The staff welcomed us so graciously, even greeting us with a complimentary local mezcal. The food was exceptional throughout. Honestly, our only regret was booking three nights instead of five. We’d return in a heartbeat — and next time, we’ll stay longer. 10/10. Highly recommended.

We spent 4 days at the Gran Velas in Cancun with family with the oldest member being 80 and the youngest being 11. Safe to say each one of us had a fantastic time. The hotel had enough activities to keep everyone busy. The assistance of Alfonso and Braulio, our private concierge our stay effortless
