Great place between Cancun and Playa del Carmen

Vidanta is a large luxury brand of resorts in Mexico. This is their second largest (to Nuevo Vallarta). It is a huge sprawling property artfully carved into the jungle along the coastline, one of dozens of resorts along the highway the skirts the coast. There are several levels of properties, the Grand Luxxe being the highest. Many many restaurants, pools, areas, activities, etc. I suspect most people never leave the property, but we went into town a few times. The most notable feature is the very high level of service. We were truly impressed. But the facilities and food were also top-shelf. A great vacation.”

Jungle Luxury

We loved staying in the Junior Villa at Vidanta’s Grand Luxxe. The high end finishes and attention to detail with constant upkeep of buildings and grounds show they really care. All of the staff were dressed in well tailored uniforms and we were greeted with an endearing smile and hand to the heart each time. The Beach Club was an added bonus with luxurious cabanas and beautiful views of the Caribbean. The food was great (although pricey) and shows/entertainment were great too. However, no free entertainment here. Be prepared to spend an additional $75-$100 US per day for food, drinks and entertainment. Otherwise, I would recommend getting a unit with full kitchen so you can prepare your own meals. ”

Pleasant vacation at Vidanta Riviera Maya

My husband and I stayed at the Vidanta Grand Luxxe Riviera Maya in February . We enjoyed our trip and highly recommend this resort. The Grand Luxxe buildings located in the jungle with easy and pleasant walk to the white sand beach. The junior villa suite was very spacious and comfortable. It has two balconies. The service was impeccable. There are several restaurants on the property. Our favorite place to eat was Salum with the life music and nice decor. It is located right on the beach. There are lots of nice pools, two well equipped gyms. I attended Spatium spa and was impressed. It was very relaxing. We also went to see Cerque de Soleil Joya performance. It was very special evening. Again, we highly recommend this beautiful resort. ”

Winter in Mexico

Picked a good week ,85 and sunny everyday! The good, the resort,condo, and people were good. The beach club was exceptional! The bad, the check in procedure took almost 2 hours once we arrived at the resort. After traveling all day this was not acceptable. Also, they really push you to attend a timeshare presentation.we were told that as a third home guest we would be given a lower quality unit on our next visit if we did not attend.we’re required to give them 20 dollars cash and bring a credit card to their presentation that we declined. Talked with another 3rd home member who did attend and said the hour presentation became a 3 hour sales pitch. This should have been communicated to us by third home in advance. Otherwise , the resort is very nice and we would certainly return.”

Very nice unit

I really enjoyed my stay at the Junior Villa in Vidanta RM. It was luxurious and spacious and had everything I needed. There is a boutique that also has a Starbucks and creperie, and you can pick up some grocery items. I found out if you want, you can order groceries from a local store and have delivered to the central lobby, which is helpful for a larger group and a longer stay.”

Relaxing and fun!

Thoroughly enjoyed all the resort had to offer! We went to a fabulous dinner show Joya and the water park Jungala, both on the property! We also loved the Beach Club and snorkeling right off the beach. The view from the beach areas were great! We had a very restful week!”

Vidanta Riviera Maya

We had a great time at the resort with 800 acres & over 20 restaurants to choose from including the Cirque se Soleil show which was fabulous....Even went scuba diving in the Cenote Caverns”

Great Resort with lots to offer

This resort is top notch, from the food, to the pools, to the service. We never left the resort all week and still didn't see it all. They have a great raised platform trail system going through the jungle to get around which was fun or you can ride a tram anywhere. There is even a water park and official Cirque Du Soleil show on the resort. The gyms and spas are great as well. We will be going back to visit again.”

Wonderful stay for a group of eight

We reserved four rooms through Third Home: a two bedroom, and three one bedroom suites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vidanta Grand Luxxe. The accommodation was beautifully appointed, spacious, clean and modern. The resort staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. The resort grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Our favorite parts of the resort were the Beach Club, a beautiful pool area for Grand Luxxe members with fabulous cabanas, drinks and food, and the Salum Beachside Eateries and Market. Further to the above, on the plus side: rooms are even bigger than they appear in the photos, really high end; food at the resort was above expectations and a very pleasant surprise; the Beach Club pool, the only real option, unless you love swim up bars (which is in the main pool with everyone else at the resort); and Dalila, our concierge and contact at the Vidanta for Third Home. She mentioned the time share sales pitch but never pressed us to do it. She was also very helpful with checkin and getting beer and wine put in the rooms before our guests arrived. Only a couple small things on the down side: checkin is a long process (one hour from arrival to room); the resort is huge, so you will need to take trams (like Disney) to get around to some places (checkin and out, golf, Cirque du Soleil); beach is average at best and near impossible to go into the water because of rocks/reef, it is a pool resort not a beach resort. The "negatives" are minor and should not deter you. Just wanted to share for full transparency. We loved our trip (eight of us) and had a wonderful time. Happy to provide more details and info if you would like to reach out to me. ”
