Aaron and Guillermo were always very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to assist us. They helped us arrange special meals for our daughter, who has dietary restrictions, making our stay much more comfortable and enjoyable. I can't remember the names of the housekeeping, room service, and in-suite snack staff, but their service was also top-notch. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our stay.
Great family oriented resort with over the top service. The food was excellent wish they had an evening buffet to feed our toddlers who didn’t appreciate nice sit down dinners after an active pool and beach day
This was our third time staying at the Grand Velas and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived until we checked out, everything was taken care for us. The staff is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. The entire property is stunning, especially the Zen pool. The restaurants have so much variety. The Water Ceremony at the Spa is a must.
Specifically, Ernesto at Azul; he knew what we needed/wanted before we did - it was amazing and his recommendations were perfect. Alejandro, our concierge, was so thoughtful and really made us feel like celebrities. Karen at the spa made the Water Ceremony even better than it already is.
Everything about this vacation was amazing and we can not wait to go back!
Everything was excellent. Hospitality was top notch! Overall really clean , the spa was amazing as well. The beach was kept clean all the time as well.
A True 5 Star resort. We (2 Adults and Twin Kids of 3.5 Yrs.) stayed for 9 days (8 nights) in The Grand and had an amazing time. The hotel is very clean. The food is overall good and the drinks are great. This was one of the resorts when you truly had the feeling the staff enjoyed working there something we did not always experience in other five star resorts.
Genuinely nice warm people. The concierge was very helpful and communication went flawless.
Lovely beach and gorgeous rooms. Excellent friendly service.

Overall excellent. Very relaxing. Food of a high quality by all inclusive standards. Some knocks being the spa was hilariously expensive, and some of the housekeeping lacked thoroughness. Would return if looking for a relaxing break.
The food is in another LEVEL. And not just at the restaurants. The poolside food is excellent, and everything is so fresh and beautifully prepared. The service is some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The grounds are immaculate. It’s the best hotel experience I’ve had in Mexico, by FAR.
Our favorite resort in the Cancun/Playa del Carmen area. It is indeed a five star hotel. The service is excellent, the rooms are great, the dining options are fantastic. The beach and pools are wonderful.
Beautiful property and excellent service. Food and drinks are amazing! This is the second time I stayed in this hotel and definitely I will come back. Highly recommend the spa if you want to pamper your self it was an Amazon experience.
The service was outstanding. They kept the rooms and property very clean. Our concierge Izamar was amazing and took care of us and our needs in a very timely fashion. The food was delicious. We had great meals the whole time at the resort.
The property is spectacular; the pools are clean, the gardens are beautiful, and the rooms exceed your expectations. The beach had a lot of seaweed, but they made an effort to keep it clean and enjoyable.
