Playa libre de zargazo, la matienen impecable, la y variedad de los es muy buena. Con muchas amenidades, todo lo descrito en la pagina web disponible y en buen estado. Personal excelente. En el area de alberca pueden mejorar un poco la atención del personal, hay gran disparidad en la calidad, resaltando por ejemplo el Sr. Israel que redimió a sus compañeros porque todos los demas eran de regular a malos. Me parece que el valor que pague (con descuento de un 30%) es justo con la calidad/precio, no estoy segura de que pagaria la tarifa completa.

Five diamomd star property, service and food, but unfortunately its beach is not fit for swimming due to sharp rocks, seaweed, and dirt. The hotel is cleaning the beach constantly but there is almost 0 swimmers in the beach. Very unfortunate as the hotel, staff and food trully meet exclusive 5 diamond star expectations.

We had such an amazing trip to Grand Velas. We stayed at the Ambassador and everything was betond what we hoped for. The rooms were large, beds and pillows so comfortable and pool area was beautiful. The food both at the pool, and in the main restaurant were very good. The other restaurants far surpassed our expectations- it was just like dining at upscale restaurants every night. Our kids enjoyed the kids clubs and loved seeing the shows each night and picnics on the lawn during the day. We can’t wait to go back!

Great but need to work on kid friendliness

This was our 3rd trip to Grand Velas but the first with kids. While almost everything was great they need to work on a few things. Firstly provision of high chairs is almost non existent. It often took 15 mins to get a high chair and one time we got given one which was blatantly dangerous - our child could easily have slipped out of the bottom. Considering how many kids were around i found this totally baffling and the constant battle to find high chairs very wearing. Additionally the service in Azul buffet at peak times is horrendous. My wife asked for tea on arrival every day and often the tea never actually arrived despite multiple requests. I think she probably only succeeded in getting tea 2/6 days.

Great hotel and service,but beach Is not the best.

This hotel is definitely characterized for its service and food. All was great, I just wish the beach was better. I've seen much prettier beaches in Playa del Carmen/Riviera Maya. As for the staff, they treat you so well you feel the need to tip them even though tips are supposed to be included in the all inclusive price, which is definitely not inexpensive. The facility is beautiful and the spa is amazing!

Beautiful Resort!

I travel to Mexico at least 2x a year and I did a lot of investigating to find an upscale hotel for a special 4 day trip for my daughter and I. We just returned and was very impressed with the resort overall. The hotel was beautiful, the restaurants were top notch, the hotel staff and concierge was very pleasant and helpful and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The kids program is excellent and provided lots of fun, exciting activities, however I wish they would have done more activities outside at the beach or in the pool. The fitness centers at both the Ambassador area and the Zen area were very good and extremely clean. The beach was amazing and very well-maintained and absolutely beautiful. Service and level of personalization was impressive. The restaurant choices were delightful and Sen Lin asian restaurant at the Zen property was one of the best dining experiences we had. Azul buffet for breakfast and lunch was outstanding.
