Riviera Maya, Mexico

Grand Velas Riviera Maya

Luxurious AND all-inclusive.

What it is

The best of the beachfront all-inclusives.

What it isn't

A quiet or secluded beach boutique—this place isn't small, but it's no Mega Resort either.

What we think

Grand Velas Riviera Maya is the perfect choice for luxury-oriented guests who want the convenience and true value of an all-inclusive. With 539 spacious, private terrace and plunge pool-equipped suites (starting at about 1,000 sqft), Grand Velas may seem like it's a giant resort. However, the property is thoughtfully laid out and feels more like multiple small resorts connected by jungle walkways and manicured trails. There's a section dedicated to family suites and then there's another wholly separate section where you won’t hear toddlers or tweens crying, the 90 Grand Class suites.

A long list of activities (diving, kayaking, kite-surfing, yoga) plus a huge, truly excellent spa and clubs for kids and teens keeps everyone busy. And before you begin to think of hoards of sunburned tourists and kiddos running around a buffet bar, note that the property has eight restaurants that range from a French bistro to an ambitious, Basque-influenced Cocina de Autor. There are three gorgeous pools and a perfectly white stretch of sandy beach. The fact that nearly everything is included in the rate (even top shelf alcohol is included, though ultra-premium wines, spa treatments, and some activities are additional charges) makes the resort that much more appealing.

You're here because

You want a five-star hotel but appreciate the incredible value of an all-star all-inclusive.

The Moment

The twins are busy at the kids' club, your spouse is relaxing at the spa, so you have a moment alone to sip a margarita by the sparkling blue pool and doze off in the warm Mexican sun. Bliss
