The Grand Mayan Resort sits along a beautiful white-sand beach between Cancun and the quaint fishing town of Playa del Carmen. Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, this exclusive resort offers a window into ancient Mayan history amidst tropical beauty and modern conveniences.
The Grand Mayan Resort itself is built around a man-made lagoon situated behind a low dune beyond which the crystal blue Caribbean Sea beckons. You can spend the day relaxing on the beach or exploring the coastal waters on a jet ski, water skiing, or enjoying the pristine underwater views through a snorkel mask. If a day trip is in order, then one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, is the perfect way to spend the day.
If you want to do more than just relax on the beach, Grand Mayan has a lot to offer. Cancun and its active nightlife and clubs are just a short drive away. Or spend the day shopping at Playa del Carmen’s two-mile pedestrian mall known as Avenida Quinta. This nearby tourist destination offers an endless street of bars, restaurants, shops and hotels.
