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.

Absolutely amazing property with the best service I've ever received at and all inclusive resort. Amazing restaurants for a fantastic culinary experience and the drinks provided an expansive variety of flavors and styles. Our concierge team of Enrique and Santos were there for my wife and I at every beckon call and were sure to provide a list of all the activities taking place on a daily basis. We truly were able to unplug and relax at this beautiful property!

Absolutely a total experience attending the resort. The all inclusive vibe was exceeded by the quality of food, quality resort staff and attention to detail. I have to throw a huge kudos to the adult swim pool staff from bartenders Alex and Ricardo and the elite waiters Reyes, Jorge, and Josue. They were attentive for an entire week, remembered favorites and made the stay fun. Favorite restaurants for us were Frida and Sen Lin. The beef from Frida and Pad Thai from Sen Lin were top notch. Big shout out to concierge Daniel and Caroline for always keeping us informed and updated on daily activities and knowledge to help our stay. Overall experience was outstanding and we plan to be back.

Our experience at Grand Velas Riviera Maya was absolutely exceptional, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible personal concierges, Santos and Enrique. From the moment we arrived until the day we departed, they anticipated our every need with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. They handled all of our dinner reservations, scheduled our spa appointments and photography session, and even helped arrange transportation into Playa del Carmen for shopping on Fifth Avenue. What truly set them apart was the personal attention they gave us. While we were shopping, I texted them photos and prices from the local markets, and they promptly responded to let us know whether the prices were fair so we didn’t overpay. They even tracked us down at the pool to make sure we had all the details for our upcoming reservations and activities, so we never had to worry about missing a thing. They thoughtfully restocked our mini bar with our favorite snacks and beverages, coordinated housekeeping around our daily plans, and greeted us with a warm smile every single time we returned to our suite. Their kindness, attentiveness, and pride in their work made us feel truly valued. We have traveled extensively around the world and have stayed at many luxury resorts, but Grand Velas sets the gold standard for service. Santos and Enrique embody everything that makes this resort so extraordinary. They didn’t just meet our expectations—they consistently exceeded them in every possible way. Thank you, Santos and Enrique, for making our vacation effortless, memorable, and truly first-class. We will always remember your outstanding hospitality and look forward to returning.

There are luxury resorts… and then there is Grand Velas Riviera Maya – Grand Class. This wasn’t just a vacation—it was an unforgettable experience that reminded us what true world-class hospitality looks like. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, genuine kindness, and an attention to detail that exceeded every expectation. The adults-only Grand Class is pure paradise. The breathtaking ocean views, luxurious suites, incredible restaurants, impeccable grounds, and peaceful atmosphere made it almost impossible to leave. What truly set this trip apart, however, was the extraordinary level of service we received from our concierges, Alfonso and Braulio. They didn’t just do their jobs—they created an experience we will cherish forever. Every day they anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring every reservation, every request, and every little detail was absolutely perfect. They surprised us with thoughtful touches, checked in on us throughout our stay, and genuinely cared about making our vacation as special as possible. It’s rare to meet people who are so passionate about what they do, and Alfonso and Braulio are the perfect example of what five-star service should be. By the end of our stay, they felt less like resort staff and more like friends who truly wanted us to have the trip of a lifetime. Every employee we encountered greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It is clear that Grand Velas has built a culture centered around excellence and hospitality. We have stayed at many luxury resorts over the years, but Grand Velas Riviera Maya has officially set the standard by which we will measure every vacation from now on. We left with incredible memories, full hearts, and already talking about when we can return. Thank you to the entire Grand Velas team—and especially to Alfonso and Braulio—for giving us a vacation we’ll never forget. You turned a beautiful getaway into an experience that will stay with us for years to come. We cannot wait to come back.
