Grand Velas Riviera Maya
About the Resort
Grand Velas Riviera Maya is one of the few genuinely Five Diamond all-inclusives in the Mexican Caribbean, and its unusual structure is the reason couples shortlist it: three separate sections on one property. Zen Grand sits deep in the jungle, Grand Class has oceanview suites and an adults-only pool, and the Ambassador section is family-friendly. That lets a wedding party book one resort while giving very different guests the stay each of them wants. 539 suites in total, with dining led by chefs at a standard well above the all-inclusive norm.
Wedding Planning Notes
The three-section layout is the practical selling point: put the couple and their friends in Grand Class, families in Ambassador, and everyone still attends the same events. Price it carefully though — this sits at the top of the Riviera Maya market and the per-room rate reflects it.
