We just returned from 8 days and 7 nights at Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya resort. I traveled with my 2 sons (7 and 9 yrs old), and my hubby. The positives are endless. The food was amazing. We ate at Gong, Havana Moon, Custom Burger, Tramonto, and a couple of places in the new Salum eatery area. We danced the night away at the beach party, Salum mariachi party. Our one bed Jungle suite was perfection with fully stocked kitchen- I made morning smoothies for myself using the blender. We purchased various foods- almond milk, low fat milk juice, eggs, waters, frozen strawberries and spinach, gluten free bread, cheese, turkey lunch meat, spaghetti, etc in the Jade market, and ate in the room for most mornings and some lunches. Dinners out and lunch at the Luxxe pool were awesome. The service was great. Out room was cleaned and turned down. The Luxxe pool had fun activities for the kids- Thanks to Victor for the fun Bingo, black jack, Texas holdem, handicrafts, etc. My boys and family loved the jungle feel of the place- seeing many huge iguanas roaming free, flamingo sanctuary, and crocodile conservancy on immaculate property.
The few negatives- the main pools were pretty cold- mostly because our first few days were not super hot. The Luxxe pool was heated, luckily, so we were there every day. The beaches are rocky there- make sure to bring water shoes. Also, the seaweed was pretty prominent on the waters edge. The beaches and white, soft sand were still gorgeous and the kids loved playing football and building castles on the beach everyday. Main negative was we only stayed for 1 week! should have booked for 2!!! We really did LOVE this vacation.
Dealing with this seller was an absolute pleasure. he was so helpful and prompt. We will DEFINITELY be returning to Vidanta and using him again for future vacations.
