Ok, first of all we were there at the height of swine flu season 5/16-24/09 (can you say ghost town). The hotel was at 13% occupancy. Great services, no waiting, free cabanas, what more could you ask for? The rooms were massive we had the Grand master suite (way too big for the 5 of us). I have lived in... more

This is a great resort if you are looking for a place to relax and be waited on hand and foot. The staff is very friendly all the way from the grounds keepers to the concierge. There are yards and yards of connected pools and poolsides with lounges in and out of the water. The white sandy beach is a... more

The Grand Mayan Resort was AMAZING! We stayed in the Master Suite - which slept 6. Two king beds and two pull outs. The rooms were separated by a middle room - family room and kitchen. The porch was awesome, with our own mini pool on it! We stayed in bulding 8, the Jungle. I LOVED IT! The resort is... more

I am currently at the resort, second day. Anyone who says this is a 5 star resort has never been to a 5 star resort, or even sniffed what quality should be. The grounds are very nice, the rooms are very nice. But the food and staff are simply horrendous. I'm talking taco bell quality food with processed cheese. Staff... more

We traveled as RCI members to the Grand Mayan. It is a beautiful resort with very pleasant and attentive staff. Almost all speak very good English, but are willing to help you with your Spanish as well. Resort is good for all ages. Though I am not sure the 'Spring Break' crowd would think their was adequate night life. Nightly... more

This is a beautiful resort. The staff are incredible, it's extremely clean and well maintained and made for a fantastic trip for our family with 3 kids (12, 10, and 8). We had a two bedroom condo through an RCI trade and really enjoyed it. more

CANCUN ARRIVAL: After a very bad morning dealing with last minute flights we got to Cancun airport. We did read some reviews about money exchange and wanted to wait to do it at a local bank and I think it was a very bad desicion.. change it at the international terminal right before getting out the airport. There were so... more

Four of us stayed in a double suite at the Grand Mayan. The rooms were phenomenal - our own cooling pool was an extra luxury as well. The pools were endless and crystal clean. There were mostly adults - very few children. The gardens were beautiful. The meals were fabulous. I couldn't find anything wrong with our vacation - totally... more

Wonderful resort. My husband and I stayed April 26th-May 4th, and we did not want to leave. The reason for our stay was our honeymoon, and I really recommend the resort for that purpose. We did eat at most of the restaruants on the resort, and I really thoght the prices were reasonable. We had heard that the resort was... more
