Grand Velas Riviera Maya opens its doors to offer three natural environments dedicated to nothing more than pampering the senses. The Zen Grand ambiance is surrounded by jungle, mangroves and natural cenotes and is home to SE Spa; an incomparable refuge of relaxation. The Ambassador ambiance is ideal for families looking for hours of sun and beach, with its infinity pool framing the views; and the Grand Class ambiance invites you to get away from it all and connect with the carefree, yet sophisticated, Caribbean lifestyle.
