The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai

My husband and I brought our family, including 3 young grandchildren to The Edition last week for what turned out to be the best vacation we have all taken together. The resort is spectacular. Rarely is a place as pretty as the pictures on their website, this one is. The staff was extraordinary; helpful and thoughtful. Always friendly but also professional. We usually spent half the day at the beach and the other half at the pool. We never had trouble finding chaises and the minute we arrived the staff came with towels and coolers of bottled water. We often ate lunch at the Beach Club, which was our favorite restaurant on the property. They served a half roast fish with tortillas, guacamole and pickled vegetables which was outstanding. The rest of the menu was sort of country-club like, lots of great choices and all of it delicious. If I have one small quibble, it would be the restaurants where we ate dinner. We tried a different one each night at both The Edition and the St. Regis next door. They were all fine, but perhaps tried too hard to be creative. I suppose we were hoping for more straight forward Mexican fare. But besides that, a perfect vacation and a resort that I am sure we will return to again.

Loved our stay at the Edition. We were there for a wedding with a bunch of friends and the staff was phenomenal. Would definitely come back!

I came to this resort for a wedding, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful and always spotless. The food was delicious, with so many restaurant options and a great variety. It's also a great spot for animal lovers, I found so many cute lil critters <3 The wedding was magical and so special to experience by the water on the dock. It was truly beautiful. All of the staff were amazing. Special shoutouts to Marco, Carlos, Ramone, Manuel, Miguel, Honorato, Fausto, and so many others. I wish I could remember everyone’s names because there were just so many kind staff members. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and always seemed genuinely happy to be there. At one point, I broke a nail, and a sweet woman from the salon, whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, brought nail glue to my room and helped me fix it, which was so thoughtful. Marco was incredible on the beach. He took such great care of us for the whole day and was so kind and funny. Ramone was wonderful as well. Manuel was the best Guest Relations host. He gave me so much helpful information, kept me updated on events and special services, and was always such a kind, welcoming presence around the resort. I also went snorkeling with Honorato and Fausto, and they truly went above and beyond. They were both kind, fun, and clearly very skilled. Fausto was the best captain ever, and Honorato gave me the most unforgettable day. He kept us away from the larger groups, made the experience feel more private, and showed me so many amazing things. I saw stingrays, turtles, beautiful coral reef, and so many incredible fish. He also took the best photos and videos for me, which made the day even more special and gave me memories I’ll keep forever. I’m so appreciative of everyone who made this trip so wonderful. I will absolutely have to come back to Edition, and next time I’d love to return for scuba diving lessons as well! :)

This is one of the most stunning hotel properties I’ve been to, in both scale and execution. Went for a quick solo jaunt off the back of a work trip and it was a lovely winter reprieve. Hotel provided a nice little room upgrade with a plunge pool on the lanai. The pool and beach setup were lovely; also very nice having the St Regis sister property next door (with linked billing systems). Food at the hotel was quite nice; gym had good equipment, but gets cramped at busy times. The only real gripe I have is that almost everything on property is egregiously expensive, even for high end hotels, and absent a rental car you are pretty much relegated to the property. Additionally, it would be nice if there was a coffee shop with some casual food and drink options. All in all though, this is a beautiful hotel that makes for a lovely (albeit expensive) getaway - highly recommend and hope to go back!

so’ol at the Edition was killer! Marco and Bartolo made the evening even better!
