Just returned from 3 magical days at The Edition. The property is obviously beautiful, but what really sets the Edition apart is the attention to detail and the service. The staff is friendly, genuine and just wonderful. Easy access to St Regis if you would like to try their restaurants or property, but we just loved the vibe at Edition. The rooms are minimalist and comfortable, which is what I always liked about Edition hotels. Room service is with a smile, the food is fresh and delicious and the property itself is pristine. Salomon and his beach club crew will take great care of you and the water sports team in front of Edition is top notch. We went snorkeling with them out to the reef and it was perfect. I've been coming to Mexico yearly or bi yearly for 20 years (normally Tulum), but I now have found my new favorite. If you are looking for a bargain or all inclusive vibe, this is not your place.

Service, room, and food were excellent however, the constant thumping music throughout the property was terrible. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and a relaxing getaway, this is not the place for you.

Miguel our waiter was so awesome he was so informative going through the wine list and structuring a tasting for what we wanted! That plus the views and food absolutely love it!

The Edition was a lovely experience. From the warm welcome to the beach club, everything was curated and thought out. I loved the color on the outside of the property, but the white and cleanliness feel of the rooms. It was truly an oasis in the heart of Riviera Maya!

Our recent five-night girls trip to The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond in every way. They’re genuinely happy, thoughtful, and extremely well-trained — often resolving things before we even realized there was something to fix. Special touches like handwritten birthday notes and always having ice-cold water within reach made the stay feel personal and seamless. The beach was impeccably clean, and they even have an aviation team to keep birds away, which makes a big difference when you’re relaxing by the water. We also loved the “nests” — cozy, secluded sitting areas perfect for sharing a glass of wine under the stars. The food was wonderful, and while the cocktails are a bit pricey, they’re delicious and beautifully crafted. Overall, it was a stunning, elevated experience — and I’d absolutely be back.
