Grand Luxxe : For Travelers Who Want Elevated Everything

If you dream of a vacation that feels like a luxury retreat rather than a typical resort stay, Grand Luxxe is calling your name.

Typical vibe:
Spa robes, morning lattes on a big balcony, private cooling pool, dedicated tequila bar, access to quiet pools.

Grand Mayan : Stylish, Spacious, and Perfectly Balanced

Grand Mayan is the sweet spot for many travelers: upscale and beautifully themed, with a fun and active pool scene. Rooms are generous, the resort areas are stunning, and it offers a perfect blend of relaxation and activity.

You’ll love Grand Mayan if:
✔ You want an upgraded, stylish vacation without going full luxury tier

Lazy river float, beach time, pool games, walk-to-dinner, great sleep, repeat.

Mayan Palace — Classic Comfort & Smart Value

Mayan Palace gives guests access to the massive Vidanta property, large pool, restaurants, transportation, entertainment, and beach life — all at the best entry-level price.

Rooms are simpler and a bit smaller, but still clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It’s a great way to enjoy Vidanta’s world without over-spending on the lodging tier.

You’ll love Mayan Palace if:
✔ You want a great resort experience at the most affordable rate
✔ You care more about pools, dining, and beach time than room size
