About this property

The VIDANTA Grand Mayan resort is truly a five star++ first-class hotel and has been listed as among the 25 top LUXURY Resorts in Mexico.

This is a timeshare resort, and I need to check availability with the resort for each request received.

There is marble and tiles throughout the suite, private hot tubs and the largest swimming pools in Mexico. The beaches are wide and sandy. Rent includes twice-daily maid service, hotel amenities, and transfers from Airport.

The suite comes with a large living room with a well-equipped kitchen with fridge, cooktop, microwave and small appliances. Each bedroom has a king-size bed plus a single sofa bed.

The GRAND Mayan is located in the exclusive Mayan Riviera on the Caribbean Sea, 35 minutes from the Cancun International Airport, 45 minutes from downtown Cancun, and 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen and the ferry to Cozumel. It is home to the Cirque du Soleil in Mexico. Among its principal attractions, this extensive mega-resort has many pools including an interactive, interconnected swimming pool, which covers an overall 8000-square-meter water surface, making it one of the biggest in Latin America. There are also luxurious spas and fully equipped gyms.

My wife and I have spent many vacations at the GRAND Mayan in Riviera Maya. The pool area is spectacular, and the beach is clean clean clean! There was a major beach renewal recently, including development of an exclusive Beach Club. I went scuba diving off the hotel reef - the most amazing experience!

Resort restaurants are first class and compare well with the best eateries in nearby Playa del Carmen. Email me for pics and suggestions of where to eat and what to see.

The resort also has a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course; ask about special golf and spa packages.

Wonderful week

This is a great property. The unit was spacious and suited us well. We had amazing weather so didn’t stay inside all that much. Ed was a great host to work with and reached out to chat after we booked. We stayed in unit 7 of grand Mayan which was close to everything. We really enjoyed happy hour - 2-for1 drinks at the pool bar. We did a couple excursions (snorkel, Tulum, Cenote and Cozumel). All were great. We did one day at Jungala - which was enough. We thought we might get three days for price of one but that is only for owners. That said - one day was just enough. 😜 As with all Vidanta - the kitchen has basic amenities but you will need to buy any condiments you want. There is a small store on site. We likely would have paid same amount to shop there vs trip to Walmart in Playa del Carmen. Great stay and great host and most relaxing week. Thanks!

Enjoyed our stay

This property is very huge. 5 resorts in 1 big area. based on the property you stay will depend what access you will have to the resort and facilities. Since this location is huge, in order to get around, you will need to use the trains to take you place to place, unless you enjoy walking alot, you can do so. Depending which resort you stay at will depend how much walking you will do. Some resorts in the property are more centralize than others. There much to see, that we didn't have the time to do so as we had set in advance a few excursions. Didnt get much time to check out the resort. Just here and there. But overall we did enjoy our stay. Property Manager, very very responsive, nice and professional. Thank you Ed.

2020 VIDANTA Grand Mayan

Everyone had a great time. We were nervous about traveling abroad with the recent pandemic, but impressed with Vidanta's commitment to safety. During our entire trip, we did not see a single staff member not wearing a mask. The Property manager (Ed) was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We have plans to return in the future and will continue to use Vrbo.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Fine

My wife and I enjoy our vacations in Mexico immensely. The Vidanta Grand Mayan at the Riviera Maya is close to interesting Mayan ruins, and ecological sightseeing.
The people at all the Grand Mayan resort are very friendly and the service is first class - plus! The on-site restaurants are superb, as are the spa and other facilities.
We usually buy some bread, cheese, yogourt, veggies and fruit at the convenience store on site and have breakfast in our suite, enjoy a poolside snack at lunch and have a gourmet dinner at one of the resort restaurants. We are particularly fond of Tremonto where we have had some of our best meals ever, as well as the theme buffets with live entertainment at the Del Lago and dancing to latin bands at the beachside Havana Moon.
There is plenty to do for couples and families of all ages.

Why they chose this property

We (and our guests) enjoy full access to the spa and golf course.
The resorts are very ecologically conscious with a flamingo sanctuary on site and crocodile hatchery near the golf course. The turtle release program has trebled the survival rate of theese amphibians, who return to lay eggs after 8 years.
