5 Stars – An Unforgettable, Luxury Experience at Grand Velas Riviera Maya Our stay at Grand Velas Riviera Maya was nothing short of spectacular – truly deserving of every glowing review it receives. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in a level of luxury and hospitality that sets a new gold standard for all-inclusive resorts. The service was impeccable. Every staff member we encountered—from our concierge to the waiters, housekeeping, and spa attendants—was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. They remembered our names, preferences, and small details that made us feel completely seen and valued. The suites were spacious, elegant, and spotless, with breathtaking views and thoughtful touches throughout. The turn-down service, the luxurious bedding, and the private terraces created an atmosphere of both indulgence and tranquility. The dining experience was out of this world. Every restaurant offered a unique and elevated culinary journey—fine dining that could rival Michelin-starred spots, all included. From the creative tasting menus at Cocina de Autor to the fresh and vibrant dishes at Frida, every meal was a highlight. The spa was another unforgettable experience—serene, world-class, and deeply rejuvenating. The hydrotherapy circuit alone is worth the visit. Whether you’re looking to relax in peace or indulge in every amenity imaginable, Grand Velas delivers.

The hotel upgrade my stay,Unfortunately the 2 bed reservation was not respected, On the second day of my stay the hotel wanted to resolve the situation, being on the beach I did not wanted to loose time and effort, the hotel is exceptional - in this particular situation it was the staff who did not show interest to try to resolve the problem - it was until I asked the following day that Nora reacted to my situation.

Excellent resort. Great service. I would have given this resort a 5/5 but there simply is not enough pool/beach chairs for everyone at the family ambassador pool. You need to be there for 715am in order to get a chair. For the price we paid this is unacceptable. Also the service at the Italian restaurant was sub par. The ground are beautiful and the beach is great. Emmanuel and Fatima at the pool service were outstanding. Aaron was an awesome personal concierge. Please fix the pool chair situation and will come back.

Top notch service and food! This resort is absolutely beautiful and clean. The spa is a must, it is fabulous! We could not eat at the Michelin Star restaurant which was very disappointing. The earliest reservation was for 9:45pm, which is very late. I wish I would have known to book dinner reservations ahead of time. There was no way to get an earlier reservation the entire week we were there. Everything at this resort was just amazing!
