Our family vacation at this resort was truly wonderful! The service was exceptional, the food was fantastic, and the spa was a must-try. The only downside was the seaweed on the beach, which made swimming a bit tricky, so water shoes are essential. Overall, a great experience for families looking for a relaxing getaway.

I just returned from an incredible stay at the resort, and it truly exceeded my expectations in every way! The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, just steps away from the pool and beach, which made our time relaxing and enjoyable. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who went above and beyond. Dining options were impressive, especially the themed buffets, but I felt that there could have been more choices for breakfast. Overall, this place is a gem for family-friendly luxury, but a few tweaks in the dining options could enhance the experience further.

Our stay at Grand Velas Riviera Maya was absolutely delightful, marked by incredible service and exquisite amenities. The resort provided relaxing spaces that felt uncrowded, allowing us to unwind fully. Although the dining options are varied and enjoyable, having several adult-only restaurants limited our family experience.
