The rooms and grounds of this resort are terrific, the pool is amazing and for the most part the staff is friendly and helpful, though they could lay off the time share pitch anytime they want - it gets annoying. The Grand Mayan clearly takes great efffort to make the property feel natural and they have accomplished this. A beach... more

I've been to the Grand Mayan twice now, and am booked to return in April 2010. I am completely in love with this place. The staff has been very friendly both times I've visited and has taken care of our needs satisfactorily. If you love pools, this place is for you. There are so many connected pool areas on about... more

We just got back from vacationing a week at the Grand Mayan Riviera in Cancun Mex. We had a two bedroom, which was excellent as we had our daughter with us (25 yrs old) and her boyfriend (who slept on the couch). The rooms were beautiful and sort of clean. When I washed the kitchen counter the towel was turned... more

The pools and cabanas were our favorite part of the resort. Ask for building 1 or 2 if you want to be closest to pools and restaurants. Oct. was an excellent time to vacation there, not busy, the temperature was around 90 and sunny every day. Bring some bugspray too, we got pretty bitten. We were having an excellent time... more

My wife and I went by ourselves the last week of September/11st week of October. It was only the two of us because another couple who had planned to go with us had backed out. We are Wyndham owners, so we only paid a $150 RCI exchange fee for seven nights in a VERY spacious and well-appointed room. We had... more

We were overwhelmed by how beautiful resort was. The level of service was excellent. We stayed at a near bldg. as a result of other trip advisors and that was a plus as the resrt was mammoth. Thought the food was great and not really too expensive. Disliked the pressure from the timeshare sales. It should not have been done... more

Just spent 2 weeks here with my hubby and our friends. Beautiful place, very well maintained. We were in building 5, and the walk to the pools, etc. was perfect. Our room was lovely; we had a 2 bedroom suite. Very spacious. Soaking tub on deck came in really handy in the early evening after a hot day. The rooms... more

We stayed two weeks at the Grand Mayan and had a wonderful time. The room was clean and very roomy. We had a two bedroom unit we shared with friends. Both bedrooms have a soaking tub and king size beds. There's a small pool on the deck we enjoyed in the early evening to cool off after a hot day... more

We were very happy with our unit. It was large and very well maintained. The extensive swimming pools were a hit with my daughter. We didn't have any problems catching a trolley/resort shuttle when we needed them. Staff were friendly and helpful. The dolphin swim at Xcaret was well worth the money - the best one we've ever done. more
