Eighty-six acres of mangrove forest and cenotes separate this all-inclusive resort from the idea of roughing it. Grand Velas Riviera Maya runs three distinct areas, each with its own pool, from a jungle-wrapped multi-tier affair to an adults-only oceanfront option, plus a white sand beach for anyone who finds the pools too convenient. The contemporary-tropical design leans modern rather than thatched-palapa, and the food and drink situation is serious enough that you might forget you pre-paid for it.
