Grand Velas Riviera Maya is one of Mexico's most celebrated all-inclusive resorts, known for gourmet dining, infinity pools and a world-class spa. It is set in the jungle and along the beach just south of Cancún.

The best food of any all-inclusive I book.

Where you’ll be

The resort sits on the Riviera Maya, between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, about 30 minutes from the airport. The ruins of Tulum, the cenotes and Cozumel are all within reach.

The stay

Suites are generous, many with private plunge pools and ocean views. The resort is divided into separate sections for families and adults, and the spa and fine-dining restaurants are standouts.
