The Beach at the Vidanta Riviera Maya-  Grand Mayan and Grand Luxxe

The beach for the Grand Luxxe, Grand Bliss, Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace (and the new Spa Tower) in the Riviera Maya location is the typical powdery white sand beach of the Caribbean. In the water, it is really too much rock/coral for swimming. There is a small trail through the coral for those wanting to try their hand as snorkelling.

Walk to the Beach

If swimming in the ocean is part of your vacation experience, you have some great  options. You can walk about 10 minutes to the north to where the orange buoys mark a swimming area at the next resort. The beach is open to the public by law.

Ride or Drive to Puerto Morelos

An alternative is to drive or take a cab the 10 minutes to Puerto Morelos. This small fishing village has a beautiful sandy beach with excellent swimming. You can hire one of the fisherman to take you our snorkeling if you want. There is a nice Mexican restaurant right on the beach. It is on the main square as you come into town. You really can't miss it.
