Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort
All-Inclusive Hotel - Mexico

logo.pngThe Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort is the first of a 4 hotel complex, situated on the Mayan Riviera, just 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen and 1 hour from the airport at Cancun.  The Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort has several Mayan Ruins, huge “cenotes” and 2 natural wonders, together with 2 virgin beaches making the location one of the best on the entire Mayan Riviera. The contemporary design of this unique all-inclusive beach resort adds to the flair of this lovely resort.

The resort features five beaches, several Mayan Ruins on the property, large cenotes and two natural wonders.  This location of the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya is definitely one that matches no other in Riviera Maya.

Judy and Maria's Notes and Impressions on the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort

Our first impression of the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya was that this hotel is somewhat different from other hotels in the area.  The architecture is European Contemporary and the structures are built in a circular configuration around / within the natural habitat of the property.  This hotel is encircled by nature. Guests can delight in the natural environment and preservation of the grounds.

The resort is approximately a two hour drive (dependent upon traffic and road conditions on any given day) from the Cancun Airport and it is located approximately 30 minutes south of Playa del Carmen.   The owners of this hotel originate from Spain.     

We had the opportunity to visit and tour the property. The resort is open and running well. The following is our synopsis of our November visit to the hotel.

This Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya is unique, different, refreshing, trendy, and sophisticated.

Fine dining at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya includes seven a la carte theme restaurants.  The snack bar is available for light food fare through the day.  

An entertainment area, mini-club (ages 4 to 12) and separate children’s swimming pool gives the kids plenty of opportunities to enjoy the numerous family oriented facilities at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya. 

The Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort features a preserved Mayan Ruin, a “cenote” and an underground river “Yalkuito”, and a magnificent stretch of virgin beach, making the resort’s location one of the best in the mayan Riviera.  The largest coral reef on the Mayan Riviera is situated in front of the hotel’s coastline.  The coral reef is perfect for the scuba enthusiast.  The Yalkú lagoon, near Akumal, is connected to the sea, and the combination of fresh and sea water provides the ideal conditions for parrotfish, huge turtles and other tropical fish.

The hotel's spectacular design, one with brings to mind the ancient Mayan buildings, yet at the same time a modern, minimalist style which blends perfect with the natural vegetation in the gardens.

 

Dining 

Note from Judy and Maria:  Dining options at the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya are numerous and we were surprised by the quality of the fresh and prepared food and the vast selection offered to guests of the resort. The buffets are all about selection of your favorite foods. There is something for everyone. All the restaurants are wonderful. Our personal favorite is the Italian Restaurant “Cinecitta.” Decorated in black and white, the ambiance is relaxing and the food and service was wonderful. We chose the lasagna, which was decedent, and steak which one could cut like butter with a fork. The chefs at the appetizer bar would uncover the hot selections for each guest and then cover back up with lid to keep warm and fresh. The crusty rolls were baked in front of your eyes and were perfection.

Sirenis Hotels are concerned with the care of the environment, as well as the greencropped.jpgpreservation and respect for ecological surroundings. All of the hotels focus on minimizing the impact on the natural environment. Because of this, Sirenis Hotels implements the use of ecological programs.

Turtles and Tours

Sirenis Hotels counts on a team of biologists who are in charge of training the personnel who care for the plants and wildlife of the complex. As well, they choose the proper food for the wildlife and the watering and maintenance for the plants. Guests are asked not to feed the wildlife.
Unlike other beaches in the area, Xac Beach is a common breeding ground for turtles laying their eggs. During spawning season, the staff works in conjunction with the ecological authorities in the control and registration of the turtles that make their nests on the beach, as well as the birth of baby sea turtles. Please respect all the signs posted to preserve the wildlife.
