Will I see YOU at Mayan Palace Riviera Maya Cancun?
I was laughing with a friend recently as she raved about her time at her first 5 Star Resort. I had a similar experience just a few years ago so I really appreciated her take on it.
She just spent a week at the Mayan Palace/Grand Mayan Resort. My friend met folks who bought a Timeshare at the Mayan Palace four years ago. So far they’ve stayed at the Mayan Palace three times now. You’ll understand why. And you don’t have to buy timeshare to enjoy this 5 Star Luxury resort at discount prices.
From your first moments at the front entry you’ll found the resort beautiful, magnificently landscaped, clean and well maintained. The Resort is HUGE, and there’s a tram to transport you around the property, but the wait was never that long, and the drivers were always pleasant.
There are so many activities you can participate in, by yourself or with the wonderful activity crew… which do a great job at making everyone smile And you just might make some new friends on the ride.
The main pool is probably the largest she’d ever seen. Even when there were hundreds of people in the pool, it was never crowded.
I recommended my friend stay near the Balche Restaurant. That’s where most of the adult activities and games take place. They play lots of music, water polo, volleyball, drinking games, etc.
Don’t forget about the pools that trickle down to the Grand Mayan Palace infinity pool. It’s not as large as the main pool, but it’s very nice and over looks the lake. The pools are open 24/7! In the summer the water can be a bit too warm. As you can imagine, if you visit in the winter, the water feels great.

It’s impossible to be there and not go in the ocean like everyone else. Bring your snorkel with you and be sure to wear water shoes. When swim out past the rocks you’ll find sandy slopes, crystal clear waters and beautiful tropical fish. AR the dome-like structures you see in the water (warning: it does get deep), you’ll see tons and tons of fish. Swim a little farther still, past the dome-structures, you’ll reach perfectly beautiful waters. It’s about 10-15 feet deep there. If you need to stand up you can stand on top of those dome structures.
If you’re not a good swimmer, it’s best that you wear a floating device of some kind. Do this and you’ll be on your way to experience fantastic snorkeling. Kids were swimming/snorkeling as well as adults of all ages.

You’ll find people snorkel and swim out in the clear part for hours everyday and loving every second of it. The fish were as tropical and as beautiful as anywhere else in the Caribbean (except for in Aruba!) The only company you’ll have is the waves from the jet ski’s and boat riding back and forth to transport the people that were para-sailing.
I haven’t even mentioned all the places to visit in the area. But I’ll save that for another article. And a description of where to eat at the resort as well. There are casual and dress up restaurants, great room service at reasonable prices, and even health food bars.

Some alternative entertainment ideas for when you’d like to step off your 5 star luxury resort:
“Their are so many more places you can visit. I found beauty and adventure in everything we did. The buses are very safe, however will make most people feel very uncomfortable. I’m used to it… nothing to be afraid of. It’s a bus with people in it. When you’re on the bus and you’re drop off destination is very close, you must stand up and walk to the front of the bus so the bus driver knows where you want let off. Other wise he’ll drive right past where you want to go…. Yes you could say I know this from experience! Unless your final destination is the bus stop, well then…… Bus ride is $2.00 a person. Taxi’s from the Mayan Palace to Playa Del Carmen were $20.00, for everyone, not per person. The vans can be cheaper, but I forget the price. A taxi to Cancun is about $35.00. If you’re that high strung about how much money you’re spending you can even bargain with the taxi drivers. It does work sometimes.”
“Nite-life at the Mayan Palace is great except for the fact that all the bars close down at 11:30p.m. I think at least one place should stay open later than that. Which brings me to my next tip…… def go to the store on the resort, or into Playa Del Carmen to the MEGA or Wal-Mart and buy your snacks, beer, liquor, etc. At night when everything closed down we’d have our own alcohol to drink on the beach or along the pool. You will not get into trouble for this. We’ve been doing this since we’ve vacationed here every time. Their is construction going on but I not once heard any noise the whole time I was here.”
“I love the Mayan Palace more and more each time I stay here. What ever floats your boat, right? Well I hope this helped and if you have any questions feel free to reach me.”
