AWESOME. The Grand Mayan in NV is very over-the-top in just about every sense and well-done at that. The resort itself almost feels like you're on some kind of mega-cruise. Went with my wife and 3 y/o Son and My Folks, who are owners at the 'Lesser' Mayan Palace, but for this particular trip they booked with RCI (and brought... more

I'm surprised to hear the reviews of other travellers on this site regarding Grand Mayan. We originally booked with an exchange week through RCI and were not owners. However, we checked in quickly and were told that our room was already ready--a full 3 hours prior to our check-in time. We were then referred to the so-called shark, but she... more

As many have pointed out, the entire existance of this facility is to sell time shares. It is not a "hotel" per se. They only rent rooms through hotel affiliations in order to generate revenue to their time share members, therefore justifying their investment pitch. I tried to be very firm that I had been on a time share pitch... more

We were here for school vacation with my family and my in-laws. They are timeshare owner here. We stayed in their two-bedroom unit. We have been here in 2007 and I must admit they'd done alot to the property since then. The best addition, according to my two five year olds, was the wave pool. They spent almost the entire... more

The other reviews are spot-on. In order to get your bracelet you have to go to the timeshare desk, and these people are reluctant to take NO for an answer. Your blood pressure will be up 40 points within 10 minutes of your arrival, and that's no way to start a vacation. They will then call your room every single... more

We managed to get thru the airport and the Shark tank, narrowly escaping, we found our shuttle driver right out by the door with our name, We changed a few dollars at the airport for around 12.40 exchange, climbed onto the airconditioned shuttle bus with its linen covered headrest covers and curtains over the windows, sure felt good to cool... more

The Grand Mayan was a pleasant surprise. We initially booked at the Mayan Palace Puerto Vallarta through RCI. While trying to make transportation arrangements a few days before our departure, we found out that we had been "upgraded" to the Grand Mayan. Apparently, due to lack of tourism/swine flu in the region the ONLY operating Mayan Group facility is the... more

Travelled with another couple to this property. As owners, we were treated with the utmost attention and care. We have stayed at other Grand Mayans, Cancun and Acapulco but this is by far the best. Close to the airport and free shuttle was waiting at the airport to pick us up. Check-In was simple. Our rooms were ready after a... more

We did the time-share presentation, and once there, there was NO pressure - and we learned a lot and got useful recommendations. Rooms are just lovely - and spacious. My husband and I spent a romantic week, then were joined by our adult children and grandchild and there was so much to do for every age and taste: great beach... more
