Nice resort with good restaurants, but now for RCI exchange, they charge an additional $750 for a 2 br and $450 for a 1 br (USD). This makes it not cost effective for this resort, so we will not return in the future, if this continues. We have been to this resort several times in the past 10 years and have not had to pay this, so it made for a very $$$$ exchange.

The rooms at the grande Mayan are above average and the pools and site are like other vidanta properties, which are beautiful. However forget about walking anywhere where you can get a good margarita or live music. Don’t get me wrong, the food is fine but I like to experience other restaurants instead of the same restaurant in 15 different places. Also if I’m spending 5 to 10 bucks per drink I might as well go to Hawaii. The reason we love Mexico, well there are many, but for me there has always been value. There’s value in the skill and hard work of Mexican service men and women. Forget it at vidanta Cancun. You are here to sit at the pool, stuff your face with resort food and go to bed. Bottom line: everything here is expensive and if you’re a tight ass like me you’re way ahead just staying at an all inclusive or somewhere closer let to town that’s not an expansive mega resort with a crappy surf.…

We really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Mayan Vidante. It was our first trip. The pools and grounds were beautiful. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend making reservations for dining when possible. We loved going to Jungala, the water resort, on property as well. Guillermo (waiter by pool) was so kind and helpful. Our kids loved Joy (activity center) with Andre, Pedro, Angel and the rest of their staff. The crafts and activities were fun and really made our kids day. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Everything about this resort is a lie, and as a member I will not be returning. We’ve stayed at many resort over the years and this was by far our worst and most expensive vacation. We spent most days searching for a spot near the pool or beach. Long lines for every possible thing you could think of. Forget about getting a cold drink or food in a timely manner, we would have to chase down a sever to get waited on every time. To reserve a cabana one day in advance you had to show up at the pool desk at 6am and wait till 730 when they open. To me this is not a vacation it’s more like work but worse. And before the management responds with we’re very sorry but it’s a busy time of year how about you provide more staffing and chairs for your guests or stop over booking your resort. But I’m pretty sure they don’t care because every time we brought up our concerns all we ever got in response was we’re sorry but there is nothing we can do. What kind of so called five star resort is that? And we had access to the grand lux pool and the beach club both a disappointment.…

Excellent resort, very clean. Resort pays attention to Covid concerns. Very helpful staff, if you speak Spanish its helpful but not necessary. Shuttles are provided but there is still a lot of walking. Loved it, will be back.
