Full accommodation information

Where white Caribbean sands meet the lush Mayan jungle, you’ll discover an enchanting stay that takes you beyond all-inclusive for a phenomenal Mexican holiday on the Riviera Maya.

Spread across three dedicated spaces, this luxury resort caters to those in search of romantic getaways, family-friendly holidays, and relaxing spa break alike.

The Grand Class Experience oozes a richly romantic appeal from private plunge pools topped with Caribbean sunset views to soaking in a Jacuzzi tub in relaxing facilities. Indulgence is the essence of this adult-only space.

Offering family-friendly fun by the beach, The Ambassador Experience ensures there’s space for the whole family. With clubs for kids and teens as well as an infinity pool with brilliant ocean views, there’s no shortage of entertainment in one of Mexico’s best locations on the Yucatan Peninsula.

If reaching the ultimate zen is a priority for your break, a stay at The Zen Grand Experience tucked 1km away within the surroundings of the lush Mayan jungle is ideal. Rekindle connections with nature by the koi pond or indulge in some self-care with one of the tranquil spa treatments to rebalance your zen.

Boasting exceptional ocean views set beside plenty of green space, the hotel’s 24-hour concierge service can help you arrange any requests you might have to make your stay more comfortable. That includes arranging activities through to booking a restaurant reservation. Daily dining is a culinary journey as you experience flavours and aromas from across the globe, incorporating only the freshest ingredients for the perfect addition to your holiday.

There are 539 rooms across three dedicated areas throughout this luxury all-inclusive hotel.
