I stayed 10 days in the the Grand Velas section of the resort. The room was lovely with an ocean view and every amenity I desired. The restaurants had wonderful choices of food and the pool area was my favorite. I was traveling alone and felt safe and my the staff were excellent.

Hotel's Favorite
We traveled as a family of 12 with 3 generations and 5 children between the ages of 18 months to 11 years. There were multiple activities for every age, delicious fresh food always available, and impeccable, beautiful, large rooms and public areas. The huge pool and the proximate beach provided endless entertainment and activity. The staff was especially pleasant and competent at every level. They sincerely smiled and assisted the guests at every opportunity. Overall, our experience was outstanding.

It was a great pleasure for us to host the three generations of your lovely family and provide each one of them with the relaxation, cuisine, and the fun & sun that they were expecting. When catering to the expectations of twelve family members, we have to ensure that all ages are well-attended to. For us, everybody is a priority, young, mature, and even the infants have expectations. And that is why we have worked so hard, and smart, over the years to gain a resounding thumbs up from large families. Thank you for sharing with us your satisfaction, happiness, and glowing photos. And now that you know us much better, I hope that we will have the honor of reliving all these beautiful moments with you in the future. As always, we are at your service, RODOLFO GONZALEZ DIRECTOR GENERAL GRAND VELAS RIVIERA MAYA

It is always a pleasure to be a spoilt guest at the GV Riviera Maya! The whole resort is extremely well kept, and the food is extraordinary. However, what makes a difference is their people, their welcoming attitude and professionalism. Many thanks to Daniela for her gym/yoga/acquaforza classes that have kept the whole family fit and entertained, to Marco for being always around with a smile and ready to sort out any problem, to the staff at Bistro (Edgar, Maira, Ernesto, Felix, Becker, William, Rubi and Mirelle) and the staff at the Ambassador Pool (Luis x2, Israel, and the rest) for taking such good care of us.

Guiseppe, it was our pleasure to ensure that your entire family was well-catered to and smiling from start to finish. There are certainly many aspects that go into a highly-fulfilling resort experience. Apart from having 5 Diamond facilities, 4 & 5 Diamond gourmet dining venues, and perhaps the best stretch of silky white beach in all of Mexico, it's our people that really make it all work. Whether it's guidance from Marco, your butler extraordinaire, or Daniela, who helps to invigorate your day, you can be sure that your happiness is our #1 priority. After all, you are the reason we are here, and the reason for all our successes. Thank you, sir, for selecting Grand Velas Riviera Maya for your long-awaited vacation. We look forward to repeating all of these magical moments with you at your earliest convenience. Until then, we continue to place ourselves at your service. Thank you! RODOLFO GONZALEZ DIRECTOR GENERAL GRAND VELAS RIVIERA MAYA

We own a week at this resort, but haven't been in 14 years. Going back, the property and rooms were in almost as good of shape as they were when they were brand new (when we bought). This is a beautiful resort. The rooms are spacious and palatial. The grounds are immaculately kept. But the staff is probably the most impressive thing, which is kind of amazing, considering how big of a resort it is. Every time we called the front desk for something, whether it was to bring ice or pillows or fixing something, they were there within a few minutes. Viri and Gabby, Who do crafts and other fun things for the kids, are fantastic. They are super kind, sweet, and fun. Our kids absolutely loved them, and we felt great with leaving our kids with them. Jordan, Who is on the entertainment staff, was a constant source of fun for our kids. They truly made friends with him, and he provided them lots of laughs and fun. They clean the room every day, including doing the dishes (which is good, since there is no dish washer), sweeping, changing the sheets and towels. This is the most well stocked kitchen I've experienced at a time share, and the things we felt there weren't enough of they brought us more. One disappointment was that they charged us for using the amenities - gym, mini golf, tennis. We are owners, and owners apparently get amenities for free when staying during their normal week. But we had traded in during a different week because of the coronavirus. When you are there on a different week than the one you own, they charge you for amenities. That was pretty disappointing, considering we've paid over $10,000 in maintenance fees for this property over the years.…

Thank you very much, Christian, for visiting this beautiful region and sharing your positive impressions with the world. In reading your detailed comments, it is apparent that your experience was at an entirely different property. At Grand Velas, our suites do not come equipped with kitchens as we are a 100% All-Inclusive Resort. Nor do we have in our employ the Kids Club personnel that you kindly highlighted by name. But for us, the most important aspect of your review is that your family enjoyed themselves during their trip to Mexico, and on behalf of the entire hospitality industry in Riviera Maya, I thank you for making the trip. Until next time, sir, we wish you and your lovely family a safe and happy summer in Phoenix, Arizona. Thank you, RODOLFO GONZALEZ DIRECTOR GENERAL GRAND VELAS RIVIERA MAYA

Just returned from spending 4 days at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya with my family and had a great time! Have to say they where fully committed to keeping us safe in these COVID times. Very diligent in their cleaning and mindful of every detail. The General Manager Fito and Lety Fernandez (Spa Director) as well as their super Concierge team (Diana Garcia and Marco) where very kind and always ahead on every detail. It was truly a magnificent experience which of course I´m looking to repeat in the near future!

It was a great pleasure for us, Chris, to host you and your lovely family with the care and elegance that we are highly recognized for. During these challenging times, we realize that many families, such as yours, wish to get away from it all for a week and spend quality time together. That is why we have incorporated into our already strict hygiene standards some of the most stringent protocols that protected your family throughout your stay. And now that you have seen and lived firsthand the nature, beauty, and safety of Grand Velas, it is safe to assume that we will have the privilege of reliving all these wonderful moments, once again, in the loving company of your family. Thank you, sir, for entrusting Grand Velas with your family's well-being. You can be assured that we will be awaiting your return, better than ever, to cater to all your future needs. Until then, we continue to place ourselves at your faithful service, RODOLFO GONZALEZ DIRECTOR GENERAL GRAND VELAS RIVIERA MAYA
