Third Stay in a Year—Phenomenal Property
This was our third stay at The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai in the past year, which probably says everything. The property is stunning. The setting feels peaceful and secluded, the beach is beautiful, and the design throughout the resort is sophisticated without feeling overly formal or cold. The food was excellent across the board, especially KI’IS, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Every meal felt thoughtful and polished while still relaxed and enjoyable. What continues to set this hotel apart for us is the hospitality. During this stay, our flight plans unexpectedly changed and we needed to add an extra night at the last minute. Allen handled everything quickly and graciously, which took a huge amount of stress off our shoulders. We travel often and stay at many luxury hotels, so it’s not that we are unwilling to try new places. We simply find that many properties, even very beautiful ones, do not consistently deliver this level of warmth, service, and overall experience. We stayed in a Superior Suite, which truly feels more like a private residence than a hotel room — enormous, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable for a longer stay. Marsella is a warm front desk manager who makes you feel valued and fixes issues promptly. We are already looking forward to coming back again.

Feed my So’ol
Great vibes with great friends. All staff and facilities have been top tier. Restaurants are great. Loved the food at So’ol. Brian, Miguel and Jonathan were all excellent. Always made sure we were taken cared of. Would be back in a heartbeat. Like instruments with DJ was added bonus.

No better service than Brian!
Brian and Miguel were so much fun! They treated us with delicious oyster shots and the best service. It’s so beautiful here and we had the best time.

Quick visit to Edition at Kanai was underwhelming.
Pros: The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The plants and flowers are stunning. The pool was really nice. Cons: The beach had a lot of seaweed and was underwhelming. The rooms are mediocre. Very sterile. No warmth. Uncomfortable bed and uncomfortable pillows. Paper thin bath towels. Breakfast is not included for Bonvoy Platinum Elite members. The restaurant Kitchen was suddenly closed the night that we were there and there only one other dining option. The St. Regis next door was much nicer with more dining options, breakfast included for Bonvoy members, nicer rooms and there was not much difference in price. I recommend staying next door at the St. Regis.
