The Grand Mayan at Vidanta Riviera Maya

Neighboring the IBEROSTAR resort complex less than 15 miles northeast of Playa del Carmen, Mexico, The Grand Mayan at Vidanta Riviera Maya offers guests prime access to the Riviera Maya's coveted sands, not to mention a long list of entertainment options. While here, you can play a round of golf on the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, splash around at one of three pool areas, and appease your achy muscles at Brio Spa. Previous guests describe this Grand Mayan property as beautiful; guest rooms are outfitted in green and brown decor and boast LCD TVs, Jacuzzi tubs and private balconies. If you can afford it, previous visitors suggest springing for a suite in order to have access to your own personal plunge pool. The spacious suites are also more accommodating for families, as they can sleep between six and eight people. If you do have little ones in tow, spend some time looking for iguanas or drop them off at the kids club. At the end of the day, regroup for a family dinner at one of 14 on-site restaurants. Or, enjoy a three-course dinner while watching the property's Cirque du Soleil show, JOYÀ.
