The Grand Mayan Acapulco

  • February 21, 2007
  • Rated 2 of 5 by Dennis Piszko from Hampton, Virginia
The Grand Mayan in Acapulco has a problem with mold and mildew my room was sprayed 3 times in the week I was there.They would not move me, they said it was full. When you arrive there is no salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, or paper towels. To go to the Walmart it will cost you $10 round trip for 1 1/2 miles, there is no bus service.
There is no outside hot tub; you have to go to the spa  and it has a cost. The food and drink were high end $4.50 beer $9.50 mixed drink, the food was good, breakfast buffet was the best at $13, dinner was high end too. The resort tour or sales pitch was relentless, they tried 4 people on me 2 hours. "JUST SAY NO." This resort is beautiful, the grounds and pool are beautiful, the cleaning staff are great so is the two girls Shelly and Tonya that represent RCI. They are very informative and helpful. If you have money and get a clean smelling room avoid the sales pitch you will enjoy your stay. I have been with RCI since 1984 and I have traveled quite a bit I won't go back to this resort.

We just returned from a FANTASTIC eight-day vacation with three other couples. The pool may not be as long as advertised but you will be tired after walking a lap of 2,700 feet. The evenings on the beach with friends, snacks, and alcohol will live in our collective memories forever. We had strength in numbers when dealing with the beach vendors but don't be afraid because a firm and consistent NO sends them on their way.

Our entire trip was made more special by the exclusive use of Roberto and Benjamin Alarcon as our transportation providers. They are both very fluent in English, are native to the area, and seem to have connections wherever you travel or at whatever attraction you may want to see. If they say they will be there at a certain time, THEY WILL BE THERE! Another advantage they have is if one of them is busy their brother fills in for them and they are both outstanding.

I hope you enjoy your time in PARADISE, because we sure did!

Gran Mayan

The resort itself was absolutely beautiful. There was lots of construction to get ready for the high season, with a new bowling alley, casino, etc.

Rooms were stunning, and you need an ocean view to enjoy the place. The pool on the balcony was a welcome relief in the 100°F weather. The bed was comfortable, and the soaker tub was nice after a long day. There was lots of marble, inside and out, and a friendly staff.

Beware of the 90-minute presentation they offer for 15% off food and drinks. It took 8 hours, and they wouldn't take no for an answer.

We stayed in a one-bedroom room with a partial kitchen and dining area. The room also included a private dipping pool on the large deck. The room decor was modern and very clean. Housekeeping visited at least twice a day, usually three times to clean and provide the turn-down service at night.

The Grand Mayan is a resort that you would never have to leave. There are plenty of restaurants, a small grocery store, and plenty of activities to do. The Grand Mayan is actually a new building at the Mayan Palace resort.

These rooms are luxuriously beautiful! We had a two-bedroom and it was huge! The materials for doors, countertops, floors, faucets, et al were top notch. The second bedroom has a Jacuzzi tub and the maids provide you with bubble-bath, bath oil, and bath sea-salts. The balcony has a small dipping pool which was perfect for that refreshing cool-off needed after a hot, humid day. I could actually cook in the kitchen! It was bigger than a "kitchenette" and lacked only an oven but who cares?
