One of the best all-inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya, specially if you are someone interested in food quality, variety and convenient restaurant schedules. The hotel phone app is a huge advantage since it greatly simplifies the process of restaurant reservations. I have been to many all-inclusive resorts in the Riviera and The Grand has the best restaurants. It also has superb liquor quality, with very fine brands. The hotel also serves Coca Cola, instead of Pepsi, which is also great.
Room-wise no big difference with other similar-quality resorts besides the minibar, which actually works pretty well !
Great check-in process and concierge service. However, you will be asked to have a breakfast where they'll introduce you to their multi-year membership, but you can always opt out after managing a little bit of pressure from the concierge.
On the negative side, not enough beach chairs / lounges at the beach, usually they are all occupied early in the morning. At the pools it is easier to find free spots. However the pools are not so nice and they all close very early (7 pm!).
Another negative is that pool and beach bars close at 6 pm, very convenient for the hotel but not for the guests. There is one specific pool bar open until 7 pm, but the staff starts closing it around 6:30 pm as well, so no big difference. Pool and beach service is very poor, no different than any other high-end all-inclusive resorts.
You can find the best food and staff service at Jade, Casa Mía, JC
