Hi. Haven’t posted here in quite some time. Years back we purchased a Grand Mayan week and a fair value week on eBay. Due to Covid and other issues we just traveled to Cancun and used 2 weeks we had accumulated in the Grand Mayan. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there and we would like to go back for 1 week in early 2023 for our 50th Anniversary. At that time it might be nice to upgrade beyond the GM. What is the best/accepted way to upgrade? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance.

You could try and exchanging into a GB or GL. It is fairly late to get an exchange for winter 2023.

They do not have many GL units in RM.

The GB units are nice, but basically the same as a GM with a larger deck.

We stayed in a 2-bedroom RM GB for 2 weeks in 2018 for our 50th. They did not allow us to use the Beach Club unless we did the update. We declined.

If you just want a unit upgrade to Grand Luxxe for that one week ; you could make that a condition of attending a sales presentation.
However since New Years to Easter is peak season it is possible that that no GL units are available the week you check in.
