Luxury Riviera Maya Hotel Reviews

We are repeat visitors to Grand Velas Riviera Maya, and it continues to set the standard for what a truly exceptional resort experience should be. From the moment you arrive, the entire operation runs with a level of care and hospitality that is remarkable. The grounds are beautiful and impeccably maintained, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and we have had wonderful stays in both the Ambassador and Zen sections of the resort. The food continues to be a highlight of every visit. The wine list is excellent, especially at Frida, where we discovered several surprising and wonderful Mexican wines that paired beautifully with the menu. Sen Lin is always a highlight for us, and Azul never disappoints. Antonio and Juan at Azul took wonderful care of us, and Fernely at Chaka was equally fantastic. The kids clubs are also exceptional and make traveling as a family feel truly relaxing. Our children loved the programming, and the staff are thoughtful, warm, and attentive. A special thank you as well to Edith for the beautiful yoga classes and to our concierge Dariana, who helped make every detail of our stay seamless. Kudos to the entire Grand Velas team. It is clear that a tremendous amount of care and pride goes into creating such a consistently special experience. The leadership and culture behind this resort truly show through the warmth and professionalism of every team member we encountered. We always leave already looking forward to our next visit.

Wow - incredible place.

This was hands down the best resort I’ve ever been to! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. Traveling with a 2-year-old and a baby can be challenging, but this resort made it feel effortless. It is truly one of the most family-friendly places we’ve ever experienced. They had so many thoughtful amenities specifically for little ones, which made our stay comfortable, easy, and so enjoyable. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. A special shout out to concierge Alfonso, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfectly arranged for our family, and to our amazing babysitter Daniela, who was so gentle, patient, and wonderful with our baby. Every restaurant was absolutely delicious with great variety, and we appreciated how accommodating they were with young children. The pool was huge and beautiful, with plenty of space for everyone to relax while still feeling very family-friendly. The kids club was fantastic as well, with engaging activities and a welcoming atmosphere that worked great for our 2-year-old. We made such special memories here and will definitely be back. I highly recommend this resort to any family traveling with young children — it truly exceeded every expectation.
