Grand Mayan Riviera Maya

Mayan Riviera

WOW! I was impressed. It was absolute luxury staying at the Mayan Palace. We stayed in a suite, which is a bed room with a king sized bed, a extra large tub in the room, and a large bathroom. Outside out bedroom was a large, infinity type pool (about typical hot tub size), that was really relaxing. In addition to the bedroom there was a complete living room which could have slept 4 more and a studio type kitchen. It had a small refrigerator, a four burner cook top, microwave, sink, small appliances and new, matching cooking utensils, dishes, flat ware, etc. The pools were the best. We spent several days under the fabulous cabanas with thick cushioned queen sized mattresses that the staff makes up every morning. There are three beautiful free flowing, expansive pools that overlook the ocean. It is incredible. The accommodations were great, but the staff made it spectacular. EVERYONE was soooo courteous, friendly and helpful. This is not an all inclusive resort, but it with the available shopping at Playa del Carmen we were able to fill in many of our breakfasts and lunches with what we bought at the store locally. The restaurants start about at the price of Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays or TGI Fridays and go up. All the food that we ordered exceeded out expectations. I can't wait to go back to one of their resorts.
