Just returned from the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya. It's a beautiful resort, the staff are friendly and helpful, the grounds and buildings are immaculate, and the food is wonderful.
We enjoy walking, and traveled the grounds of the resort every day, walked to the highway and back several times to catch the Collectivo to Playa and Cancun, and to just enjoy the sights.
We were in Building 1, which was quite convenient. I can appreciate that people with mobility issues or small children would have a very difficult time staying in the buildings that are further away - the "Jungle" buildings (8+).
The biggest thing that will keep us from returning is the ocean/beach. The reason we go to Mexico is for the sights/sounds and overall atmosphere of the ocean and beach. This property has a very poor layout for us - it's very long and narrow, and is as if you aren't at the beach at all - there is minimal access, no view from any of the buildings, and the beach itself is very small and not of typical Mayan Riviera quality. If you are a pool person, you will love it. If you are a beach person, not so much.
