We spent a week at Grand Sirenis as a family of four in March, and overall we had a fantastic vacation. We have two teenage girls, and they absolutely loved this resort. The beach was not great during our stay, but we can’t fault the resort for that as there was a major sargassum issue throughout Mexico at the time of our trip. The resort itself is huge, so be prepared to do a lot of walking, which we personally didn’t mind. The pools were all great, and the lazy river was AMAZING. The food was surprisingly good, especially at the buffets. There were endless options, and everything was fresh and delicious. The only disappointment was how difficult it was to get reservations at the à la carte restaurants. We were able to try the steakhouse and the Italian restaurant, and both were very good. The entertainment was excellent. There were lots of fun activities around the pools during the day, live music in different areas of the resort in the evenings, and nightly shows in the theatre (some better than others, of course). The White Party on the beach Saturday night, complete with a fire show, was fantastic. There was also lots of wildlife around the resort. Seeing the monkeys every morning was definitely a highlight! Our only real negative comment was the pool chair situation. Like many resorts, people had to get up very early to reserve chairs by the pool. It’s disappointing that this continues to be such a common issue at resorts, because it takes away from the relaxing vacation atmosphere when you feel pressured to wake up early just to secure a shaded spot. Many reserved chairs sat empty for hours, sometimes until the afternoon. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation and would definitely recommend this resort, especially for families with teens.

It has been 10 years since we have been here. It still aims to please. The room is great spacious good air-conditioning well appointed. The food was good. The à la carte restaurants were underwhelming. No better than the buffet. Beautiful grounds and meticulously kept. The monkeys, coatis, raccoons and iguanas are always entertaining. If you appreciate premium alcohol you will be disappointed here. The only downside was the water temperature of the pools-felt warmer than body temperature; couldn’t cool off. And of course the sargassum prevented you from going in the ocean.

Very beautiful resort spread out with many walking paths to different areas. Great pool areas with bars and lounge chairs. The resort included many restaurants with a large variety of food. A desk with two concierge staff is located on the main floor of each building and we found them to be the nicest and most helpful you could ask for. The beach area left a bit to be desired as the sargassum was quite bad but the staff were working hard on that issue. A lot of wildlife for those interested in seeing small animals. Overall a beautiful holiday location with great staff who couldn't do enough for you.

We had a fabulous holiday over March break. Although there was a lot of hype about the sargassum at the beach, this did not hinder our trip. Maybe because we live on the East Coast of Canada, we know that beaches have a ‘smell’ and seaweed happens. We layed by the beach regardless and snorkeled in the protected cove near the ruin. The hotel staff worked tirelessly to remove the sargassum, and still more came in each day. Oh well. The water is blue, the sand is white, the weather is gorgeous and drinks are brought to you anytime/anywhere. We spent our mornings at the beaches everyday. We did at least one lazy river ride each day and often several per day, we never had to wait for inner tubes. Meandering through the jungle with a drink in hand, watching the wildlife and connecting with my teenagers was amazing! The food … wow. The food was incredible and there was so much variety. I’m a ‘mean’ mom, and my kids were raised to eat “all the foods” … and they did. My 15 year old, made it his mission to bring some unknown food to try at every meal. Proud mom moment. I can’t imagine anyone not finding “something” they like … and if they don’t, I feel like that’s a YOU problem. The staff were incredible at all buffets and we made several friends who we had to take photos with at the end of the stay. Our concierge in the lobby of our block (1440) was fabulous and booked everything. The Al La carte’s were delicious. We ate at the Mexican, Butcher’s and Tepanyaky show cooking and every restaurant was a hit. Again, our three kids are not fussy eaters, so even the cucumber and seaweed salad was devoured in seconds! The drinks were excellent and always flowing. My youngest (9) loved moseying up to the swim-up bar to order his daily strawberry daiquiris, pina coladas and mango breezes. The adults enjoyed mojitos, seaside sangria, Paloma’s and Hawaiian breezes (among many others). The wildlife and jungle scenery were highlights. We loved seeing the geckos, iguanas, white nose cotis, raccoons and of course the monkeys (outside the breakfast buffets) … but do us a favour and DON’T feed the wildlife. Several people brought fruit from the buffet and then staff had to intervene. The monkeys especially become aggressive when they are being fed and too familiar with people. If they “hurt” someone by accident - we all know what will happen to them. Yeah, it’s cute to get a photo of them eating your apple - but then you ruin it for everyone. Also - clean up your plates at the pools. The more familiar the animals are and bugging guests - they will be removed. If you love animals and want to enjoy them - PLEASE DON’T FEED THEM! The evening entertainment was awesome (some people said it was lame - maybe compared to Broadway or the Ballet… but enjoy it for what it is). We watched countless practices during the day. These dancers are trying their best. Have a drink and enjoy the show. We watched The Lion King, the cabaret/broadway one and the around the world (I forget the proper names). They were all fun and enjoyable (but yes, I’m from a big city and have seen higher quality entertainment - so what?!). The market /artisan booths. Thursday nights only. We arrived at 8pm on Thursday and didn’t purchase anything not realizing that would be our only opportunity. The stores out front by the OXXO have lovely staff and reasonable trinkets. The pools. We loved all three pools. I forget the names. But the one outside “salt and nut” seemed rowdy. lol. We stayed near the one out front of Butchers. (Our preference). Also the quiet pool snaking through the jungle was amazing. Reserve your loungers with towels before breakfast if you want a spot. The lazy river was enjoyed by everyone! The kids club. … uuummm… kinda lame. It’s inside, so for our fair skinned 9 year old, a few hours outside of the sun was great. I thought/hoped it would be more activities, but it was iPads and video games :(. But the staff were lovely and take the kids for a walk for lunch each day. The kiddie pool out front needs to be parent supervised - so not the kids-club fun we had hoped for. Oh well, I’m the parent, so I parented. The beach bar b que and lunches were fun and delicious. Try to catch paella day if you can!!! Tips: we brought many 50 peso bills and tipped every few drinks. It’s not expected but appreciated. We tipped $150 pesos at suppers. Maybe you get better service, but genuine kindness will also earn you great service. Our rooms were fabulous. Fourth floor, at the absolute farthest villa away from anywhere - so we walked - A LOT. The rooms were clean, large and the air conditioning was excellent. We leaned some key Spanish phrases while we were there, and the staff seems delighted that we were trying. I would certainly recommend this property. It was a third Mexican vacation and first time to Sirenis. We thought it was wonderful. Previously stayed at Bahia Prinicpe and Palladium for reference.

My husband and I spent two wonderful weeks at the Grand Sirenis in Mexico. We just wanted to rest as I injured my knee and could not walk for long. We spent time at the pool and the beach. The sea weed was really bad so I did not go into the ocean. My husband went in to refresh himself and said the water wasn't very deep and there were tons of fish. We tried all the a la carte restaurants and most were really good. The spa was great. The concierge staff were wonderful team 5 helped us book the restaurants, spa and made sure the shuttle were called to get us around the property due to my sore knee. We had 2 weeks of sun and feel refreshed. Just returned in time for more snow. We will definitely return to the resort in the future.

This resort has a lot going for it. Situated south of Playa del Carmen. Hotel is modern, and recently renovated. Rooms are clean, bright and spacious. Great shower, ample hot water and great water pressure. Bar with modest selection of soft drinks and beer serviced daily. Concierges book as many a la cartes as you wish. Food is above average, with surprising availability of quality steaks, cooked to perfection. We enjoyed t bone, rib, striploin and tenderloin. We have been to Mexico a dozen times, including twice previous to this resort, and never had food as good. The prime evening buffet has a great selection of food (although seemed always the same). Of note to us, the a la cartes served decent Spanish Red Wines at room temperature, and you could request same at the bars, although you might not get it there. Grounds are sprawling, and well maintained with lots of natural vegetation. Expect to see lots of birds and animals including coati, racoons, squirrels, agouti and monkeys, which unfortunately have become acclimatized to human interaction. Pools are clean, with ample lounges, except quiet pool which sees lots of pressure. Beach is ok. Struggle to keep up with the Sargassum. Interesting rock outcrops. Beach bbq lunches great! Lazy River is a fun bonus. Entertainment was ok.

This Resort was amazing from start to finish of our trip. The rooms, grounds, pools, beaches, staff and food exceeded my expectations and I would return again in the future! The lazy river was great, the wildlife was abundant and the evening show and entertainment staff were wonderful!

Loved everything about this resort. Travelled with another couple and we could not come up with one complaint. The best part of our stay was that there is no need to get up early to save seats at the beach or pool. Lots of lounges available even at 9:00am.

We stayed here for a week in December. The food options were amazing, all the employees were friendly and helpful. Lots of restaurants to choose from, the buffet had an overwhelming amount of options, the beach tacos were perfect and the late night sports bar was a hit for us a lot of time after the entertainment! The resort was beautiful, easy to walk around but shuttles were offered frequently! So much wild life, we saw monkeys 5/7 days we were there! Beach was small, you couldn’t walk along it and rocky water but there were lots of sandy areas up higher for the chairs.

This hotel is the best we have been through the years.The grounds and public areas are amazing,The rooms are all junior suites so no upgrades needed.the dining areas are first class.The pools and kidde pools are the best .The lazy river is super relaxing to float down.All nine restaurants of different foods are superb The 5 buffets are the best one can even imagine!!

This was our 10th time at the resort. Fully renovated. There are some quirks to smooth out. The food was great but the buffet had the same spread throughout the entire 10 days. The beach was quiet but the seaweed was not managed so it was very smelly and very little swim area.

Large hotel, rooms are nice but everything is digital, we had lots of issues with our rooms, wifi not working, phone not working etc needed to be reset in both rooms. Bathroom flooded. It was difficult to book the a la cart restaurants if you had 2 rooms you couldn’t use the app, needed to book with concierge and all good choices were fully booked. Room service took 2 hours to arrive. Grounds were nice and well kept. The beach is not the best, quite small not a great place to walk the beach, lots of sargassum. I’ve stayed at places with much nicer beaches. Pools were nice and lazy river was nice.

It's a nice hotel, but when we got off the plane and passed through security, we were directed to a person who tried to offer us a "deal." We later learned it was a scam for a timeshare. When we arrived at the hotel, they informed us about the scam—yet ironically, they then sent us to their own timeshare presentation. Also, we messaged the shuttle bus the day before our departure as instructed, but the person in charge was off that day. You’d think they would have reached out first thing in the morning, knowing we were trying to coordinate a ride to the airport—but they didn’t. As a result, we missed the shuttle, and the coordinator could only suggest we take a cab or risk missing our flight. It ended up costing us $100 USD for a cab to the airport.

Our second time at the Sirenis and will not be the last. Has all the amenities you could ever want; coffee shops, ice cream shop, sports bar, several a la carte restaurants, loungers a plenty poolside and at the beach, great beach service so never without drink and of course the lazy river. The rooms are in need of a refreshing so good to see that renos are in progress. Every other resort we’ve been to pales in comparison!

Very good value for the money...my second time there. May go again. Love the Rocky beach with the fish swimming all around you...but bring water shoes...the free dolphin show so good, that we walked back to see it a second time. Spa is a nice treat, but staff were poor. The only place in the resort we found rude staff. Front desk staff inexperienced or very limited training, but all other staff are wonderful! Restaurants staff and food were wonderful...I didn't like that they used the same placemats over and over again, and would put the clean cutlery on them...yuk! Nothing new in the Carribean I guess...much cleaner than Costa Rica though!

Grounds - excellent, beach..excellent, room..excellent, food choice..excellent, room cleaning ...excellent, transportation to resort was preferred because it was a large 40 passenger bus which is a very safe method, transportation to airport was a small van which is not preferred as it not as safe. Will book again but since it will probably be the third time in a row we are not receiving a benefit for this...anything trip central can do for us?

Shuttles are tricky with this very large resort. No schedule at the stops, so it’s hit or miss. Food was lukewarm at best most of the time at the buffets. A la cartes were very good. Staff are incredibly nice and efficient. Lots of chairs at pools and beach. Never a problem there. Jacuzzi in our room was stained dirty. No amount of cleaning would fix it. Refused to use it. Ground right in. Bathroom sink fixtures same way. Main room though where bed is was spotless. Entertainment was not bad. Not great, but it was ok.

This resort is amazing. Very clean, afforadable, staff is friendly and will assist with your stay any way they can. Entertainment is top notch. Kid friend. Beach is beautiful. Pools are amazing. This is our 2nd time here and we are going back next year.

This hotel was amazing. 1. The food at the buffet was surprisingly good. I never put much stock in buffets, but the ones we attended had lots of variety. Wait staff were terrific - especially Julio and Monika at the main buffet. 2. The grounds were beautiful. They are very well maintained and tidy. We were able to walk for several kilometers each day. 3. Our rooms were perfect. Cleaning and towel replacement was well done each day (thanks Manuela!!) And we got a towel "animal", complete with a set of eyes and a smile, every day. 4. We were only able to have 2 a la cartes - Mexican (Pueblito Lindo) and Italian (Restaurante Tonino) - both were magnificent!

My husband and I stayed at this resort from January 9th/25 to January 16th/25 and had the best time. The resort is beautiful and there is so much to see and do right on the resort. The food and drink was very tasty with so many options. The room was spacious and clean. The service was fantastic!!

We were totally impressed with nthe new renovations it should now have a 5 star rating. one of the few hotels that gives you a junior suite without upgrading we highly recommend this hotel for a enjoyable holiday.

The hotel was very clean and efficient. There were some closures due to the renovation but overall everything was excellent. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The food delicious in the restaurants and always great at the buffet as well. People were friendly and helpful. Would gladly go back again.

We have visited this resort annually since 2016, minus the covid years. The grand sirenis is currently undergoing a full scale renovation. 50% of the resort is currently closed to all guests. This means no courtesy showers or change rooms are available anymore if you have a late flight. They will not offer a courtesy room either.The resort plans to have the first stage of the renovation completed this Fall 2024 in time for the busy season. Once phase 1 is completed phase 2 begins by closing the second half of the resort until completed mid to late 2025. This closure during our stay , the first two weeks of May, caused power outages and low water pressure. With minimal staff to perform speedy repairs the failing a/c unit in our room made for unpleasant evenings with an evening low temperature between 24-27c. Would not recommend this resort until all renovations have been completed. However check pricing. The owners of grand sirenis plan on moving this resort from star classification to diamond rating which means a substantial increase to the pricing as well once all renovations are complete.

This was our 3rd visit to this resort and even though half of it was under renovations it did not disappoint. Our room was large, kept clean by housekeeping, with good A/C, shower and a comfy bed. The food at the A la Carts and the buffet was enjoyed by everyone. We booked the A La Carts through our concierge without any problem. We enjoyed the beach, the wildlife, the pools, the beautiful trails throughout the resort, the lagoon, the swim up bar and beach bars during the day and the lobby bar and sky bar at night. One of the activities that we really have enjoyed with each visit has been the lazy river. One thing that we noticed this time is that many of the clear comfortable tubes have been replaced with very large less comfortable black tubes. My only hope is that when we come back next year, the management team will have more of the clear tubes for our fun lazy river experiences. We will be returning to this resort, which has become our favourite resort in the Mayan Riviera.

3rd time to Grand Serinus,and it was fantastic.6 of us in total.This place is amazing.We loved the beach,fish around us,lazy river river,lagoon,and watching the monkeys.All the staff here are so friendly.The grounds are beautiful as well.We are looking forward to coming back next year.

We were there for the long weekend. 3 nights 4 days. Mar 28th/24 to Mar 31/24. The rooms are dated. The main pool is an accident waiting to happen due to the different levels within the pool. Very disappointing. The food was great! Enough of a variety to suit many culinary needs. Evening activities were available. The “disco” was very far away. This explains the minimal attendance. Not a 5 star in its current state. The staff in particular throughout the resort was amazing!!!

This resort is very large and required a lot of walking. The grounds were very nice and well kept. The room was large and clean, fridge was restocked daily and the towels were replenished however we were never given face clothes. The buffet had a good variety of food. The pools were very nice and clean although they were missing tiles on the bottom.

The Grand Sirenis is a beautiful resort. It is a very large resort with lots of pools and plenty of beach. Lots of loungers in the sun and in the shade to accommodate everyone. The restaurants were amazing with a wide variety of foods for different palates. The lobby bar made the best drinks and had the best bartenders and servers. There was a wide variety of activities including tennis, pickleball, soccer, biking, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, etc. There was lots of wildlife on the property, too: spider monkeys, koatis, raccoons,etc. and even domestic cats. A free dolphin show completed our enjoyable experience. Housekeeping kept our room impeccably clean.

We had a wonderful time, rooms were nice, pools were nice and clean, beach was small but lovely. Lots of beach chairs available. Lazy river was fantastic, so much fun. Friendly staff! Loved the wildlife. Buffets and ala carts were good. Ice cream was so delicious, many different flavors. Loved stopping at tge cafe bar with iced coffee and a dessert. Sky bar was lots of fun. Lots of walking but was good exercise and there were shuttles to take if you wanted too.

We really liked the resort: the food was really good, we enjoyed the lazy river, the beach was also good even though you have to pay attention to the rocks, there are plenty of chairs at the beach and pools. Most of the personal is very friendly and helpful, we specifically want to mention Julio Cesar Chan Cumui from the Restaurant Tulum who really went out of his way to make us feel good, was always with a big smile on his face. What I think will make this a perfect place would be to heat up the pools and jacuzzi during the colder season. We would have liked to spend time in the pools but they were pretty cold. Also just as a recommendation the activities were not clearly advertised or at list we could see a schedule until we happen to find a website.. Still, overall this was a great experience, we enjoyed every minute of it!

The weather, beach and ocean was really great. I also enjoyed the quiet pools. The hotel itself was just okay for me. The room was very large and looked very tidy. I had problems with my sliding doors, that never really close properly and were hard to open and close. Also my door wouldn't always lock automatically so I would have to check it all the time. I did not find the employees very friendly or even happy.

Everything was great: beautiful room, amazing food, incredible staff! We saw lots of wild life and the resort was impeccable! The beach is not for long walks but lots of fishes to see while snorkeling!

It was our 3rd time there and we love it! Starting our day at the coffee shop with great coffee, then heading out for breakfast where there is a lot of options at all the buffets. Spent most of our days at the beach (clean, quiet section, serve by Edith!) where drinks were great and where we saw lots of amazing wild life! In the evening, the restaurants offered delicious options. Rooms closer to the beach are simply wonderful (the one on the left outskirt need a bit of love!) Overall a perfect week of vacation!

In a world where almost all resorts are created to be mostly equal we found this hotel to be lacking in several ways. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone when every other resort we have stayed at provided a better experience. FIrst and foremost there is NO ADULTS ONLY area despite advertising adults only room types and packages. There is no adults only pools, restaurants, beach areas etc. If this is fine for you - great! And normally we would expect to encounter lots of kids except that we booked an adults only package only to be informed our room was designated as adults only. Confused? Us as well. Secondly, this resort is tied deeply to flogging time shares at the resort, on the extended resort property, and at their other locations. What seemed like a great perk - a building concierge for each room block - ended up being a gateway into a time share sales pitch for The Ultimate club or whatever it's called. Every interaction with concierge staff was always requirng us to politely turn down going to a sales meeting - some much pushier than others. Tied to this is the resorts obsession with Trip Advisor reviews - we saw, heard, and witnessed people being asked to do on the spot 5 star reviews in exchange for various coupons or perks - in ther middle of their dinners/entertainment/vacation. The whole thing felt pretty greasy. Third - This place is a long way from the airport - Our return flight pickup was at 3:05 am to get us there for an 8 am flight home. Our arrival at 2pm local time didnt have us at the resort until almost 7. Plan accordingly. Further there is almost nothing around the hotel to do without transport. If the resort is awesome - like the Palladium next door which we loved - its no issue. If it isnt - see below - you dont feel like its worth the additional travel time involved. Staff - Excellent, kind, helpful. Great people overall. Hotel itself has nice, seemingly updated rooms, but the facilities, rooms, and grounds were all rough around the edges - it was baffling how much damage there was everywhere. Broken elevators, smashed tiles, litter, debris, broken glass left for days, spills, stains, barely working door card readers, wobbly details. Wild life is great fun but, at the same time, concerning. Staff have given up tryiing to stop people feeding the plentiful Coati and monkey groups and they routinely ran a stampede through pool areas sucking up every bit of food available - even knocking lids off the garbages or crawling inside them. A spectacle but ultimately not a healthy habit. The first time you see (literally) 100 coati run around its awesome. By day 3 you realize its pretty concerning. Food was very middling with a few real bright spots in service/options - The coffee bar being open all day and serving excellent coffee and treats was great, and the pizza option for lunch was really great - Nobody is gonna say no to a fresh wood oven slice on the pool deck. Foot traffic says these clearly the best options available. Buffet was extremely mediocre - lots of option buts nothing really standing out - closer to a buffet at a Cuban resort than others in Mexico. A La Cartes were a bit hit or miss and very hard to book in - if you arrived on the wrong day of the week it seemed like you were out of luck for your entire stay. My Wife and I were able to make some bookings the first morning of our stay and bounced around on other nights to get into others when other folks no-showed. Staff at all food and beverage places were lovely. Food was decent but nothing that says "this requires long pants". Perhaps the biggest turn off for us, however, was the clientele. We witnessed several incidents requiring security invtervention in a 7 night stay. Perhaps our timing was just bad but we saw multiple staff threatened and intimidated and screamed at at the A La Carte's, saw many incidents of bizarre behaviour, had some kind of domestic incident in our room block that required intervention, and saw many, many, many patrons over served all night which lead to bizarre noise problems, smashed glass everywhere, vomit, etc. And people smoking and vaping everywhere. The staff, despite being so lovely, seemed to just be trying to get through it all. I have never really written a review like this, and despite all these issues, we enjoyed ourselves because there was sun, beach, some beverages, and some fun excusions - However - any and all resorts we have been to supply those expectations without the rest of these issues which, despite enjoy the beautiful Mayan people and their beaches, would lead me to avoid this resort like the plague. We are easy to please and this place managed to sink below that somehow.

We had a nice stay at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya. Food was good at the buffets. We had three A la Cartes (steak, Brazilian, Med.) Steak being our favourite but all was good. Room was excellent, clean, A/C working and beds very comfortable. Service was friendly & good. Pools are good and clean. Lazy river ride good. Dolphin show good and free. I would rate this a 7/10 only because the beach is horrible, small and very rocky. Resort is large so needed to rely on shuttle golf carts or walk your legs off which I don't want to do for a vacation.

The resort overall was nice. It was big so there was a lot of walking. The room (jr suite) was very nice but the air conditioning did not work very well - not great in the middle of August! We asked them to fix it but learned from other guests that this is an ongoing problem and it depends on what room you get. Also we discovered if we left any open drink or food out tiny any climbed out of cracks in the furniture and were swarming. I guess you can’t get away from bugs but might be a bit infested. The beach was disappointing as I was expecting a long sandy beach. This was rough sand, fairy short and rocky. Water shoes are a must, but it was ideal for those who enjoy snorkeling. If you enjoy wildlife it was great. Lots of monkeys, coaties, iguanas, and Sereques. I’m the water we’re so many colourful fish, sting rays, and squid. The food was ok. I couldn’t eat much as I am allergic to onions and dairy. They put onions on everything and dairy in all the desserts. My child also got food poisoning. Good points were the big pools, lots of shaded spots to sit, the lazy river was great, not too many people smoking (but there was a man on the beach every day selling vapes and drugs). If you like to exercise they have a nice gym but it is at the far end of the property so be prepared to run or walk out. The shuttle services were almost non-existent. We didn’t run out of things to do. The staff were all super friendly. A nice week relaxing. Would I go back? No I don’t think so.

Food was repetitive. No AC in the room, claims they’ll come to fix and they didn’t Service was horrendous. The shuttle carts never pick you up they see you standing there to wait and they zoom past you and when you ask them to please take you somewhere they say bluntly no. Waiters/servers horrible… you honestly didn’t want to tip them because they rarely came to ask you for drinks or even pick up the plates. We’d have to serve our own drinks basically, and they’d get mad if we asked for wine or something that they had to get. Hotel staff refuses to help in anything. Very unhappy. They only message to tell you sorry for your experience we’ll communicate with the rest but honestly that’s exactly what they told us in person and our issues didn’t get fixed. Imagine? No AC for a week and fecal residue on our bathroom door! We had to clean it up and we told them please there’s still some left and they never came to clean it or even offered to change rooms. That was disgusting to come to our new room to find someone else’s feces hand prints on the door…

When we entered the appearance looks very nice and rooms look very spacious. However we had several problems as a family (5 different rooms) 2 rooms had AC issue (they claimed to fix it and it didn’t work) we had no AC for the whole week. And the fan is designed in a very strange way it’s on the side where the couches are instead of the actual bed therefore causing no air flow. 1 room had issues with wifi (they kept telling us there was no problems but the wifi wouldn’t connect) 1 room upon arrival they saw feces residue on the bathroom door, no one came to clean up. 1 room had nothing no soap or anything. Mini bar in room is rarely refilled and the water bottles it’s a big litre one that isn’t cold it’s hot because they leave it out in the room. The service at the buffet was terrible, the servers did not approach you or rarely did. Sometimes we even had horrible looks just because we asked for something like a drink. They wouldn’t pick up our plates, plates would accumulate. The Shuttles… honestly I have never been to a resort where the shuttles refuse to take you and even ignore you. Others would just zoom past you and you’d be “wait! Can I get a ride” and they’d say “no, I have other things to do”. So many shuttles and all of them empty most of the time as they don’t take anyone. The food wasn’t too great as well, every day was repetitive. The housekeeper wasn’t very clean, you can tell the room is still dirty upon arrival and during our stay they would not do changes of towels sometimes and other times the bed wasn’t properly made. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. Staff were not friendly and everyone seems frustrated. I do have to say that the restaurant a la carte were good and the service is much better there (would recommend the Mexican and Brazilian). However, the bad part is that when we arrived as soon as we got our room number we were online trying to book and EVERYTHING was booked. We then asked and they said they give priority to the black bracelet members. So, you would get these ridiculous late times like 9:15 pm. We would have to be checking for cancellations to get in earlier. I would not recommend this place and do not plan on returning to this resort. It was unpleasant and by the 3rd day we wanted to go back home and didn’t even want to eat their food (which we never experienced before)

This was our first trip to Mexico and we were very impressed with the resort. Although it's big and there is a lot of walking we didn't mind because there was always wild life to see. The staff was friendly and helpful. Warren ended up having a medical problem and the security staff stayed with us until the medic had transported us to the clinic on the resort. Unfortunately Warren had to go the hospital for over night. When I was leaving the next morning to pick him up the security guard had come to check on my husband to see how he was doing. We didn't use the beach because of the seaweed/smell was strong. The choice of pools were great. The food was awesome, buffet had lots of choices. we were allowed 4 A la Carte's, Steak House, Italian, Brazilian and Japanese. They were all delicious. My only complaint was the Spa. The service we had was awesome but the price we had agreed upon changed 3 times. ended up being $50 more then the agreed upon price. It is definitely a resort we will visit again.

Hotel and grounds were excellent. Employees always greeting you. Food was always good both buffet and a al carte. The spa was overpriced as well the prices differed between the spa and the front desk. Would go there again but not use the spa.

This resort has everything you need, from amazing coffee, great food, spaced out pool areas with lots of shade to good shows and large rooms! We were so impressed with this resort and can’t wait to rebook. The only downfall was the rooms were on a programmed temperature so it was always too warm. We wish we would have be able to adjust it to the temperature we would have liked.

This was our fifth time at Grand Sirenis (not that anyone cared). We noticed a lot of differences that were unfortunately not positive. Check in is always a pain -takes a while and they always try to put you in the older suites first (we know not to stay in those from past experience). It’s always a lot of asking to be put in a building we know is better than the others (even though they are all the same cost). The ‘big show’ and kids mini disco (which didn’t happen every night any more) were way lower quality than what they have ever been - a lot of lip synching and repetitive dancing. They show an advertisement for the resort on loop for like an hour before, which didn’t happen last year and was boring. There were no Covid protocols but I didn’t expect there to be. This year we would have breakfast by the pool and would not even be acknowledged by a staff member, where last year we would be offered coffee. Numerous times we had to search to get our own cutlery and could often not find plates at the buffet, no matter if we changed the times we went. The staff seemed not very happy, which I understand to a degree (dealing with rude privileged white people has to be annoying) but this was more than that. The grounds weren’t as clean as they use to be, we saw a squished ketchup packet sit in a main walking path for days, floors were dirty ore than they were clean. The bathrooms throughout the resort were always smelly and disgusting, especially by the pools. Perhaps it was just hard to keep up with guests that acted like feral animals (people are gross), but it was a notable difference from past visits. It was just disappointing this time around. It’s the first time we ever skipped a ‘big show’ and the first time we ever talked about not returning and trying somewhere else. I will say, the staff cleaning the seaweed worked their butts off and did a great job. The weather was great.

From the food to the staff to the grounds it was great. No complaints other than it is very large. The gym was quite a distance from main resort as well as some other activities. If the beach is important to you this may not be the resort for you as it is not large , rocky bottom and alot of seaweed. It is about a 2 hour bus ride from airport.

The resort was just okay. I experienced some very good meals in the a la carte restaurants, but as far as the buffets went, they were hit or miss. On my last at the resort I went for breakfast in front lobby buffet at 8am, and it turned out they must of decided to re-heat various food items left over from the previous day. Wow! I don’t mind bacon hot & crisp, but slightly warmed, greasy & hard? No thank you! Also, it wasn’t uncommon for the towel guy to give someone attitude if they didn’t happen to have cash on them to tip him when returning their towel. Wow again! Even getting maid service to supply my room with a simple bar of soap required some work. Did I miss something, or are travellers expected to bring their own soap these days? I tipped the maid every day but one, and that was only because she came quite early when had stepped out for an early breakfast, and she opted not to re-stock my fridge, and I suspect that might have intentional. One would be well advised to carry a fist full of bills on at all times when venturing through out the resort. This a beautiful resort, and the entertainment very good! The worst part of my trip to the Grand Serenis Riviera was travelling with Sunwing! I will never book with Sunwing Airlines again! When the going gets bad, they go missing! They don’t have the slightest idea what term Customer Service means!

Traveled from Feb. 25 to Mar 04 Upon arrival to the Grand Sirenis we were greeted with a Backhoe and numerous dump trucks trying unsuccessfully to clear away the seaweed from the beach and water. This was nonstop all day, everyday of our vacation. We were told this has been an ongoing problem for weeks and will be for many more. We would not recommend this resort.

There are many different and diverse facilities to enjoy in this Resort. We have stayed in this resort on four different occasions and had fun each time, and each time we were traveling with different friends and they also loved the place. We like the buffet and the coffee shop but didn't really enjoy the restaurants very much. Unlike every other time, this time, our room was smelling mold. we reported the problem, and they just tried to kill the smell by more cleaning. The room was clean enough already, and the smell did not go away with more cleaning... we wanted to be moved to a different room, but over request was turned down and we were really disappointed. The staff are friendly and mostly helpful.

What an amazing time we had at Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya!! Food was great, room was very nice, pool for everyone (quiet, party, activities…), fun time at the lazy river, learned about dolphins… was there for a week and everything was simply great! Felt safe, clean and staff were great!

We had a wonderful time! The room was big and great, the food excellent( a great buffet, and the brazilian restaurant was amazing. We loved the dolphins show and everybody was there to help us if we needed it. The beach was also great. So I you see we enjoyed all our stay. Thanks

The Grand Serenis has something for everyone. The rooms were like the pictures on website. Buffet had great variety and the a la cartes were fantastic. This resort had a beautiful waterfront especially for the snorkel lovers. There is several pools, a lazy river, children’s water play area, disco, entertainment and an abundant amount of different wildlife. It is a lot of walking as the resort is large. They do have shuttles but they usually don’t transfer guests around the resort until the evening.

We have been to the Grand Sirenis several times in the last decade and we can honestly say we are saddened by the state of things. Oddly, some things have been improved..the beds are better and the bathroom plumping seems to have been upgraded. However the food is not as good as it once was, the bars use very low grade calibre spirits, the entertainment has plummeted, and the overall service level is lower. We are beach people and our main focus to coming back to G.S. is the beach and specifically the snorkelling off the beach. However we have seen are real drop in the quality of water life. We used to see turtles off the beach all of the time. But we haven't seen any or even heard of any over our last two visits in the past year.The people remain nice. I wonder if they lost all of their staff during the pandemic and are still trying to train the newbies. It is about an hour and a half drive south of the airport at Cancun. We always rent a private transfer ($210) because a bus can stop at several resorts first adding an additional two hours onto the transfer from the airport to the hotel.

extremely great management staff and the staf were amazing extremely clean grounds lovely beaches beautiful rooms super pools and amazing lazy river extremely great restaurants and buffets and and barbecue house on the beach

The resort was excellent. The ground was well maintained. The staff and workers are very friendly, hard working and cheerful. The activities at the resort were well planned and interesting. We like the archery. The beach is well shaded with umbrella. Plenty of chair for you to rest and relax. The food was so so but acceptable and the quality of the entertainment mediocre.

The resort, beach, and rooms were beautiful! The pool is also incredible, we loved the lazy river also. The Ala Carts were excellent, however the buffets and quality of alcohol was mediocre for sure. The bar tenders well I’m not sure if it was because the didn’t understand however my husband got a different rum drink every time. Sometimes white sometimes dark sometimes with diet and sometimes with regular. Overall great resort.

Place is huge, if walking is difficult there is a shuttle to take you where u want to go. Ground is clean, restaurant (buffett) has a lot of food selections . The staffs are amazing. Friendly , always smiling and attentive to your needs. Unfortunately we only did 1 a la carte the Mediterranean restaurant. The food is satisfying. The beach although rocky it’s a good snorkeling spot.

This was our 4th time to the Tulum area of Mexico. This is probably my favorite of the resort's so far. The way that the resort is built into the jungle with so much green space is fantastic. The rooms were very comfortable and kept very clean. The seating in the restaurants and buffets was a little more spaced out due to covid. The restaurants were great. We particularly enjoyed the French, Japanese, Brazilian and Steakhouse restaurants. The portions at the Brazilian and Steakhouse restaurants were crazy large with lots of protein. The theatre venue is great. We often enjoyed cocktails at the Sky bar before dinner. This is the only downside with a very repetitive electronic techno pop music. I guess I'm getting too old! 😜

We enjoyed our stay at grand sirenis! The room are very big (we had 2 rooms side to side but no communicating door) and clean. The cleaner are doing an excellent job daily, we had everything we needed daily. The only exception I would say is the bath in both rooms were not so clean but we didn't use it since shower are big and separated from the bath. They also filled the fidge with different drinks daily. The concierge Issac was very friendly, explain us everything about the resort, book our restaurant a la carte and was very kind with the kids. The resort is great, different pools, lazy river, activity all day long, different buffet/pizza/bbq/snack all day. The food is excellent and you have different option all day and all night. There is an excellent café directly on the resort which is so good!! The personnel on the resort is very kind and funny. There is always a show at 21h which is more music and show dance. The beach is very nice but we had found it small compare to other resort we went too and the sand wasn't as soft as we thought but definetly a wonderful beach with very nice fish that comes close to us. If you are a early bird, you will enjoy the sunrise at the beach where its quiete and peacful! The only thing we were desapointed in is the smell in some area on the resort especially in the morning.. there is definetly something that they can improve in that direction. Hotel is about 1h from the airport but at this time of year( Oct 2022) they had road construction so I would say more like 1h30-2h of drive. Overall of our stay was great! I recommend this resort but it seems that there is the same resort in Recuplic dominicain and it seems to be better with water slide.

a beautiful grounds greatmazing hotel all round great suites and SUPER people great food super entetainment very clean grounds kept imaculate fantastic wild life beautiful gym spa close to shopping super snorkeling and always enough umbrellas for everyone not forgetting the lazy river meandering through the beautiful property

First time to the resort and loved it! The rooms are so nice, modern decor, every pathway through the resort is lush and beautifully maintained. I wanted to take pics everywhere, just so tropical and beautiful. We had an issue with our room key, they sent help and resolved it super quickly. I'm vegan and found so many delicious options at the a la cartes and buffets. Workers are friendly, drinks are delicious (had so many mango Tango & Pina coladas), nightly shows and live music at the coffee shop were amazing. Coffee is DELICIOUS (love that they can make the drinks with soy milk). We brought our own towels so that we didn't risk losing ours and paying $50 USD. We saw monkeys at the ceynote on site, checked out the dolphin show, played water polo, beach volleyball, etc etc (the pool entertainment team is the best). Had an amazing time and will definitely be back to this resort! We had fresh fruit delivered to our room, a complimentary bottle of champagne- really made us feel special. Felt totally safe with all the precautions the resort takes for Covid (mask requirement at meals, staff wearing masks, tables and rooms marked as sanitized, hand sanitizer available throughout the resort etc). So many good things to say about this resort!

this was our 4th time to this resort and we were there to celebrate my husbands birthday. The CoVID protocols in place made us very comfortable. Masks were worn for employees in every area serving food and any other service areas. There was also Masks were also required for guests to enter the store and buffet, the a la carte restaurants masks weren't required. The service was fabulous. Our only disappointment was the housekeeping wasn't the best, coffee cups and glasses not washed, the beverage fridge was not refilled daily and we had to request the water jugs several time to be refreshed. the beach was covered with the spargassum but the employees were working endlessly trying to haul it away, unfortunately the beach area was totally not swimmable. the pools and lazy river was so much fun! we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week vacation.

Rooms were very nice, best bed yet! Third floor room very quiet. Food was good at the various reserved restaurants. Not a fan of the buffet, a lot of guests chose to not wait in lines. Hit and miss regarding using gloves and masks at the buffet. Children and young people sticking their hands into food i.e. nacho chips. Lots of wildlife including Monkeys which are very entertaining. Helpful staff, our initial room had a bunch of water on the floor, our luggage driver immediately got us another room. Pools are good, however lounge chairs difficult to get unless you reserve a chair before 7 in the morning. Beach area nice, sometimes affected by seaweed, staff constantly working to keep seaweed down. Fairly large resort, lots of walking. Entertainment centre best set-up I’ve seen, entertainment itself average. Various other entertainment in bars, good. Good bar service around the pools, staff constantly on the go.

Grand Sirenis is absolutely beautiful! The grounds and wildlife really make the trip that much better. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, they go out of their way to make your day. There is a very large variety of food at every buffet that everyone will find something they like. The shows are beautiful and the performances are top notch. The pools are kept very clean and the swim up bars are easy to order from. The lines are never too long at any of the bars as the staff are very efficient. Lastly, I'd definitely recommend trying the Spa, we had a couples massage and enjoyed some relaxing time in their saunas and hot tubs.

The rooms in this hotel are very spacious and comfortable. We've got everything in our room we had asked for and we especially thank for that Tripcentral travel agent Karol Chareza. We enjoyed the beach very much. It was very clean although resort personnel was constantly fighting seaweed battle. The resort beach area is surrounded by big rocks which allows to swim and snorkel every day despite big ocean waves. The food was amazing and in big variety. Overall our vacation was great.

The Grand Sirenis is a huge property that provides multiple areas for relaxation or fun! Lush vegetation provides a natural habitat for many animals which we loved! A beautiful natural cove at the beach provides shelter on rough days and snorkelling off the beach! Multiple restaurants and several concierge’s to assist with bookings or to answer questions.A whole variety of activities day and night! Many bar tenders and servers keep you well hydrated. All staff wore masks indoors and outdoors and hand sanitizer was available. It’s the other guests who don’t always respect the rules but they can’t control that. If you love music and dancing hopefully they will have the silent DJ one night, it is an absolute blast!! We would go back tomorrow if we could!

I love this hotel. Staffing was short due to pandemic but they still did a great job all around. Masking at the bars and in the buffet still in place. The only negative I have about Sirenis is they do not appreciate their repeat guests in any way. Too focussed on their members to care about anyone else.

Wonderful resort with amazing staff and service. We first visited the resort a out 15 years ago and loved it even more this time around (we took our two teenage sons , who also really enjoyed Sirenis), they enjoyed the disco and the many bars and lounge areas. The Japanese dinner was a highlight of our trip. Checo was our concierge and he went out of his way to make out trip fantistic (as did all the Grand Sirenis staff).

Huge resort with many activities and wonderful location, we really enjoyed the a la cart restaurants and the staff was very helpful and friendly always going out of their way to assist. This is our second trip to this resort and it was even better this time around.

We were looking for an inexpensive second winter getaway, so we choose Grand Serenis as it was half the price of what we usually pay. We were not sure what to expect but as it turned out we were very pleased. The staff was great, the resort was huge and well looked after. The rooms were typical of any resort and had no issues. The alcohol was a bit watered down but that was fine as the pool and beach bar servers kept the drinks topped up. The buffet was what to be expected (average) but the ala carts were quite good except for the steak house. The steaks were very tough. The mixed grill at the steak house was much better than the T bone. Three ala carts were included with a 7-day stay, but we were told if we show up at the restaurant at the time of seating we may get in. This worked for us twice so we had 5 ala carts. The only thing that we didn't enjoy was the bus ride from the airport, it was quite long and we had to make several stops at other resorts. We touched down at the airport at 2:30 and did not get checked in until 6:45. This made for a long day. But, once there we enjoyed our 7-day stay!

For the most part the resort is kept clean and tidy. The room was spacious with everything needed for the week. We did have issues with maintenance, the bathroom sink was plugged all week and we asked multiple times to have it looked at. The door lock was not working, and we ended up having to stay in the room until fixed. We did have money taken from the room, although it was a small amount. It did make us feel uneasy about the safety of our personal items. The 2nd day we left the do not disturb sign on the door, but they went in to clean anyway. Then there were 3 days with no cleaners at all. We found the staff in the a la carts to be rude (surprising to us as everyone else was fantastic) The food in the a la carts was cold and not great. We preferred the buffet. Although the food in the buffet was not incredible, we never went hungry, there was a lot to chose from. The pool and beach were lovely. For those who like to go off resort and see what the town has to offer, note the distance and cost to take a Taxi is a bit expensive.

In general I was very pleased with Grand Sirenis Resort, beautiful place to stay and we had great time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I loved how you came up with those different vibes for different swimming pools. Though, I am mainly a beach lover, I can definitely appreciate that the pool lovers could find their own choice how to relax. This was my 1st time observation in any hotel and you nail it.. I loved our room, very clean and spacious, absolutely loved it. I also loved the fact that there was a little fridge and it was refilled daily. Though I opted not to clean my room, the cleaning stuff was really nice, they were very accommodating, changing the towels when needed, I was very pleased I loved the lazy river, what a great option, we absolutely loved it!!! One thing though, some guests forgot how to act and share and they would remove the tubes from the lazy river and took it with them. I mentioned it to some of those people that the tubes have clear sign that they belong to the lazy river only. I think the pool staff and staff on the beach should pay more attention to that and ask to return those tubes to lazy river I loved your gourmet coffee shop, however almost all the time there was a huge line up there. I would suggest adding more staff there, as the line was always moving very slow, or perhaps creating another coffee place. Adding more staff would definitely help. I loved the little restaurant on the beach serving lunch. It was great to get the food without having to change the clothes and go to the buffet for lunch. The ladies serving drinks on the beach were priceless. And they were absolutely super pleasant. love them. I loved the fact that you have a lot a la cart restaurant, but I was actually disappointed with the quality of food served there. Not at all better than in the buffet, that was a huge surprise. especially with the Mexican restaurant that should be a proudly representing local food. It was not even close what I was able to taste in the past at the real local restaurants, that was disappointing. Checking inn, though the staff was very pleasant, took waaaay too long. After a long trip, I was not happy with almost 40 minutes wait to check inn On the other note, I loved the fact that you had those concierge desks in few locations, that was extremely helpful on a daily basis, especially with the big size of the resort. One more thing I was a bit disappointed was the money exchange issue. It was not uncommon that there was no pesos available for the exchange, and usually there was lack of small bills. It took me four trips to kind of get what I needed. Still not what I wanted. This should not happen in 5 star resort, very inconvenient Over all, I was happy with my holiday, I would come back and recommend it to my friends. I also loved my tripcentral agent Nicole. She was extremely helpful and absolutely great to deal with

This resort was excellent, the staff were friendly and happy to see you. Have to mention the conceirge attendance Diego, Ice and Romeo were specially attentive and took care of our needs on the spot. We really enjoyed our time there.

Grand Sirenis is quite Grand. Amazing service from the staff. Al Cart restaurants are a added bonus. On site Covid testing which is convenient. I loved that they had a Concierge in every area of the resort to assist with anything. Thank you Diego & Ice. Also the stellar housekeepers and wait staff. Overall would give this resort a solid 8/10!!! Thanks to heather and the Sunwing team for providing great package and stellar customer service!

This is neither a pro or a con but it is approx. an hour and a half bus ride to the resort although, as we arrived during rush hour and took an hour and 45 minutes. In regards to Covid protocols, all the staff wore masks at all times, both indoors and on the beach. If you forgot your mask one was provided at every venue and you were also provided a plastic glove at the entrance to the Buffet and Beach Restaurants. The Resort This is a very large resort comprising 2 resorts rolled into one. The largest part is the Riviera and the other section is the Mayan. Overall it is a lovely resort with an abundance of natural foliage and very small areas of manicured landscaping. You have the feeling of being in the jungle. There are very few shortcuts and you really have to stay on the walkways. There is a lot of walking involved in getting around this resort. This resort is very handicap aware and we found quite a few quests getting around on motorized wheelchairs. As an observation, getting to the water at the beach might pose a problem as the sand area is in 2 tiers but the pools are lovely and there are 3 available to use. Rooms Pros: large, well laid out, beautiful decor. Bathroom is also gorgeous. Waterfall shower is unbelievable and the water pressure and hot water are great! Beds are comfy. Plenty of seating and sleeping room. There is also a built-in desk for your laptop. The rooms also have a 45 inch flat screen tv with lots of channels. They like soccer in Mexico so you can always catch a game from most of the mainstream leagues. Cons: The rooms have a long built-in shelf under the tv which is nice for holding small stuff but there are no dresser drawers so you have to use your suitcase to hold things like t-shirts and underwear. You will also have to bring a face cloth (flannel for you Brits). I know Guest Services says they are supposed to be in every room but Housekeeping says not so. It’s hit or miss as to whether or not you get any.This is an observation only but the bathroom doors with the exception of the main door shut completely or lock, which makes getting ready a little more difficult when you're staying with children, or people other than your spouse. The shower doors also have a gap, which can make a mess if you aren't paying attention. Food Pros: between the buffets, snack bars, a la carts, room service and pizzas, you won't go hungry. You can always get pizza or burgers and fries for the pickiest eaters. There is a lot of variety. Breakfast for buffet, pizzas or beach snack bar for lunch are always a win. Breakfast Buffet, if you want waffles you will have to get your server to get them if you are in the buffet before 8 am. The omelets are good, just made differently than in Cuba. Here they ladle the egg mixture onto the grill and saute the vegetable fixings separately. They then add the fixings onto the cooked egg and then roll it up to serve you. Of note are the smoothies, the green one was fabulous and I had one every morning, At all the buffet sittings you will find a wide variety of appetisers. We didn’t use the buffet for lunch as we elected to stay on the beach and used the beach restaurant. You could get a large assortment of items ranging from pork chops, grilled vegetables, stewed tomatoes (delicious), to hamburgers (very good patties), hotdogs, a full range of salad items, fresh fruit, and tortilla chips with chili sauce, cheese sauce and refried beans. The dinner buffet was similar to the breakfast buffet with a large assortment of appetisers and then a large assortment of entray items. You could also get something freshly grilled from pork chops, chicken and once or twice fresh fish. I should mention the desserts are extremely good, cakes are moist, rice pudding of a very high quality. The chocolate ice cream was the best I’ve ever eaten.There are lots to choose from so you can always find something you like to eat. They don’t use alot of spices so you might find the food under seasoned and not really hot, just mildly warm. You won't starve, but don't expect to be saying the food is great all the time. It's good and edible. Some things are hit and miss. Con for me is that there is very little in the way of fresh grilled fish either in the Beach Restaurant or the Buffet. The Restaurants We got to eat in all except the French Restaurant as it’s for members only. My ratings are as follows: The Japanese was by far the best. The chefs were skillful and very entertaining in their presentation. I had the octopus. Fantastic. The Mexican I had a dish native to the area, it was roast pork and the flavours, omg. The Mediterranean, both of us had the seafood platter, featuring a full squid (calamari), mussels, shrimp, clams, a fillet of fish and an oyster in a sauce. One serving would have fed us both and still had left overs. The Steakhouse My partner had the T-bone steak and it was cooked perfectly to a delightful medium rare with the medium slanted to the rare. I had the beef rib which was tough and dry. They are getting better at cooking beef but they have a long way to go. The Italian was good, I had the lasagna, it was very meaty and I elected not to have the soup as it was just too much food for me. My partner had the ravioli and really liked it. The Brazilian restaurant was good but it's a lot of meat. You get chicken wings, then 2 different sausages, chicken breast, beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin, brazilian beef, and cooked pineapple. It was too bad that they over cooked the brazilian beef as it is known to be some of the best beef in the world. The Thia This was the worst meal I had at the resort, Simply awful. My partner had the fish dish which he liked so not everything on the menu is bad. Beach Pros: water is nice. Beautiful view. Nice location. Snorkeling was ok, but to be fair I believe there were storms at sea most of the second week which made it a little hazy, but def had a good time when we went. Cons: I reserved our beach chairs and umbrella each morning by getting to the beach at 6 am and usually by 6:45 all the lounges were reserved. Of note, I saw a lot of sunrises. They need more chairs for the beach. There's just not enough to accommodate the crowd they have even by half or less. Pools/games Pros: pools are large and well taken care of. They had multiple games during the day and entertainment. Animation team organized lots of beach volleyball and the ball was always available for anyone who wanted to organize a game. Bars Pros: The drinks are strong and the service is great. The bartenders and waitresses will NEVER let your drink go empty, even on the busiest of nights. That also includes the beach service. My favourite place in the evening was the patio in front of the Coffee Shop, great coffee, live entertainment and you can smoke your cigar. It was lovely. Cons: Not every bar made good mixed drinks, Lobby bar was the best. I asked for a gin and tonic in the Sky Bar and it was made with sprite, not nice. As I’m not much for a mixed drink I was disappointed in the alcohol that was available. If I stay there again, I will bring a bottle of my preferred beverage and bring a flash to the bar. Entertainment,There is a large theatre, it has many tiers so it will accommodate a large number of people. There is a show every night on a 7 day rotation. I only watched the Rock show which I enjoyed. Starting at 7:30 there is a singer or small duet at the coffee shop stage, at 9 is the theater show and then at 10 there is some entertainment in the Sky Bar.There is usually some entertainment in the Lobby Bar. The other night it was a sax player. Overall the staff is impeccable. The grounds have for the most part been left in it’s natural state, the wildlife is fantastic. There isn’t anything that would make me say don’t at least try this place out and decide for yourself. The minute complaints I have can be out weighted by all the positives. We would more than likely return if our travel companions wanted to go to this resort and I would anticipate anyone else who tries it would also.

There were some staffing challenges with the pandemic but staff are doing their best. I did not feel secure that the room was properly disinfected as there was packing tape stuck on walls and doors, appearing like a previous guest had decorated. Since it was not removed I could not feel secure they were thoroughly cleaning. Their housekeeping carts were not stocked with the items they would need for proper disinfection of rooms. The use of a glove for the buffet is not a great way to lower transmission as people reuse the same glove after they have touched the outside of it or didn’t use it properly. Having someone police the hand hygiene at the start of buffet would be more effective. COVID test was easy to book and results were timely. Airport departure was very delayed. Seemed like most travellers were not prepared with all the health information. A la cartes were hard to book. Likely due to staff shortages. I will still return to this resort as I do love it and understand this is a challenging time to maneuver. This was my 5th trip there.

Silly mask wearing rules. You can be in open lobby with no mask but one server at bar says wear it when others do not care at all. At outside bbq by beach wear a mask. Also Friday and Saturday full of locals and there was a fist fight in the lobby saturday night. Classy.. I guess the Karens of the worlds quack the most and they listened. I get it that they need to make some revenue during these times. However the resort is still nice and the staff are great.

Funny, always said I would never go to the same place twice! This place had me at "lazy river" take it past that there was so many things to see and do! Although the resort was big it never felt like I was lost. Easy to navigate, there were trolleys to pick you up if needed, food was good and lots of selection. The a la carte restaurants for the most part were very good with kudos especially to the Japanese for their wonderful talent show and great food, to the Mediterranean..please have the tuna steak...OMG! so delicious. The entertainment was awesome which was wonderful, lots of talent there. All the workers always had a" hola" and a smile. The beach was interesting with the ability to snorkel, see the Mayan ruin and the rock formations were stunning! Not my usual kind of beach however, I was intrigued and loved the charm of it all! Was great just to lay on a hammock suspended between trees and read. Lots of wildlife to see, from the Caoti's, the Sereque, racoons, spider monkeys in the trees, turtles by the theater, dolphin show at no charge, don't forget the iguanas and the fish in the ocean. The beautiful birds if you are watching and the Cats from the "Cat Lounge". I am sure I missed something as so much to see. Lets not forget the room, beautifully appointed and very clean. Loved, loved the rain shower, shower! Jacuzzi tub was great also. Lots of space in the closet and hangers yes hangers! Spent many a nice quiet time just before dinner on our balcony also. The grounds were beautifully kept and the pools are very clean with lots of chairs to go around for everyone!. The drinks were great especially when you doubled up on the rum, vodka and or tequila (to kill ya) aptly named, lol. I hurt myself the second day and ended up on crutches for the rest of the week. Dr. Eric Morales was wonderful with me, patient and help to assuage my fears of having any medical services to be provided in a different country! I was well taken care of and the reception made sure to check up on me the following day and let me know anything I needed they would be sure to be there to help. All in all it was a wonderful fun filled week regardless of my injury and I have and would recommend this resort to friends and family! Thanks Grand Sirenis for a wonderful vacation...Hola Rhonda Morris

Great resort with clean large rooms. Lots of great activities as well as amazing nature and wildlife. The beach and pool close to the beach are pleasantly quiet. Lots of walking because it's a huge resort. Avoid the high pressure sales reps at the desks in each building who want passports and credit cards and time for their sales pitch. Spa is overpriced. Arrival was disorganized and time wasting because the transportation stopped at too many hotels. Similarly departure was disorganized. We had waited for the hotel to transport our luggage to the lobby for the departure, but ended up carrying it ourselves because it would not have arrived in time for us to leave.

This was our second trip to this hotel. Our son loved the kids club, food is excellent, very clean, great drinks. The entertainment/ night shows were even better than last year! Amazing talent! I'm celiac and lactose intolerant and had no problems eating anywhere. Lazy river was great.

Cons: - total pain getting a room. the first one they gave us came with two double beds - we are a couple, we just want one bed. We were told they would move us and told to come back 3 hours later, when we did, someone had given away our room. So we stayed with the two doubles and then switched finally the next day. Third time's a charm. -Greeting desk is awful. Not very friendly, when we left they were like ' have a nice day' - no questions about the stay or anything that would make you want to come back. Like they didn't really appreciate the business. -Came for the third time, but no acknowledgement of that. Except for trying to get us to go to the sales presentation again. Otherwise, could care less about repeat business. -Parents just let their kids run wild. Jumping in an out of the lazy river - super annoying but not the fault of the resort. -Place is huge, lots of walking - but not really a con Pros -Staff (other than front desk) were awesome. Beach staff were incredibly awesome. Tolerate a lot of annoying holidayers! -Food was awesome. The chicken wings on the beach are the best things we've ever eaten. Japanese and Brazilian a al carts were fantastic. -relatively clean -Landscaping was beautiful -beaches were beautiful -Nighttime theatre entertainment was excellent. So good every night.

We found the resort to be one of the best we have been to. The grounds were well looked after. Rooms were large and modern. Lots to do from ocean, lazy river, pool and seeing the beautiful dolphins. Food and bar service was great. Miguel who served in the buffet room was an amazing server who looked after us at breakfast everyday. It was our pleasure to tip everyday our person who cleaned our room, all the servers who looked after us daily for food and drinks.

I love this resort. This was 2nd time, staff are amazing - so friendly and wonderful, love the beach, food is decent, my only complaint is room maintenance. We had a pipe burst at 1am, our room flooded and I slipped in water and broke my arm. From what I heard from other guests, this was not a rare occurrence. Having a broken arm on vacation sucks but I still love this resort and would come back.

Where do we begin. Let’s start with this is my first survey I’ve ever done. After double digits trips to Mexico and all great experiences this one has to be the worst. First hotel I’ve been to that the stores and shops don’t except USD. I’m from Canada but have always travelled with US currency. Well not at the fabulous Grand Sirenis. Now let’s talk about the wonderful food. A different theme every night decor wise. Well decorated with the exact same choices as the night before. First time since 2007 Resort food actually made me sick. 4 out of 6 travellers actually in our group. Pretty sad when you need to make egg salad sandwiches for breakfast because it’s hard to mess up boiled eggs. Was pretty excited about all the advertised activity’s for the kids though. Oh wait they were advertised and really didn’t happen. I’d rate this resort a solid 1-2 out of ten. Resort itself is beautiful. Beach is rough and rocky.

We were thrilled with how modern the room was, the service was great. The food wasn’t at par with what we are used to. But not far off. The entertainment was great along with the atmosphere. We were happy that it was family friendly although catered to adults alone. The beach was better then we anticipated. Loved seeing all of the fish right there !!! Would highly recommend. Would go back without any doubt. Thank you

We have traveled to multiple destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico. This resort, although not our best, had a lot to offer. All rooms renovated, buffet food always hot and fresh, restaurants decent (Japanese excellent), grounds are beautiful with a relaxing vibe (surrounded by lush nature), water was rough for snorkeling while we were there but apparently very good, coffee shop and icecream shop were an added and delicious bonus. Most of all, the staff were friendly and helpful...always. Only con would be the beach. It was rocky, as was the water. Still beautiful landscape though. We would highly recommend this resort.

Feb 7 - 11, 2020....Approx 90 minutes from the Cancun airport. Once we got through the madness that was the international arrivals (several plane loads arrived at the same time!), the rest went smoothly. Check in was quick and they were able to accomodate most of our room requests. Ended up close to the beach which was perfect. Room - huge junior suite, ours had 2 double beds, third floor. At first glance it is shiny and perfect. Looking closer, you could see that it needed a bit of tlc as there was some staining on the couch and chair fabrics and the window sheers needed a good clean. However, very good amenities provided like coffee maker, mini fridge with beer and pop, large jug of drinking water, iron and board, makeup mirror, hair dryer, etc. Large bathroom with whirlpool tub and the toilet was private in a watercloset. Food - Buffets had lots of choices and pretty much everything we tried tasted great. The biggest issue was the buffet food temp was usually only barely lukewarm. A la Cartes... had Mexican, Thai and Japanese..... all were excellent food quality, at least to our taste. Also a beach buffet which we did not try except for the chicken wings which were really good. Pools - did not go in or sit around as we prefer the beach but they looked good. Beach - small with a lot of coral chunks so do bring water shoes and sandals for walking. We picked this hotel specifically for the snorkelling. Because of the rockiness and the reef areas this is known as an amazing off the beach snorkelling hotel.... unfortunately the weather did not cooperate as it was windy the whole time we were there and the visibility was very poor. Not the hotel's fault, just the luck of the draw and we lost! Fun stuff - lots of wildlife - Coatis, iguanas, geckos, different birds, etc in a jungle setting. Awesome to see! The lazy river is a great feature. The night time shows are the best we have experienced at any AI resort as far as professionalism in dance and singers. Even though I have never been a Michael Jackson fan, I basically ignored the MJ actor/dancer and loved the dancers. Also saw the Lion King and Broadway shows. Very well done. There is a small Cenote on the property with a small Spider Monkey population.... magical! Please Do Not Feed The Monkeys.... there are signs and too many people ignore them. These are wild animals and feeding them not only presents risk to the humans, it can also be very harmful to the animals as they lose their natural fear of humans and we can kill them with kindness by feeding them foods that can potentially harm them as not what they find in the wild..... this includes bananas believe it or not. Never had a problem getting sunbeds on the beach before 9am. Overall a good hotel but is a bit tired and could use some work. Huge property so be prepared to do a lot of walking - one day we did 18,000 steps! We would go back but would have to be a better sale than what we paid this time and hopefully next time the ocean will be calmer so we can snorkel! We rate it as a solid 4*

Resort is amazing clean big and beautiful and great food. Recommended it totally. Flying with Air Transat or booking through trip central is very questionable. 9am depart from Toronto We were 1.5hr delay taking off when we arrived at the airport in Cancún or shuttle left with out us before we even got off the plane..oh wait we didn’t have a shuttle because who ever booked us,put us arriving in Cancún at 630pm which our arrival time was 115pm. After we approached the airport Air Transat rep in Cancún they told us the issue. They tried to get myself to pay $180us for a taxi to the resort. Told the hotel would refund us when we got there. Yah right!! After an hour of trying to figure something out and told the next shuttle would be 2hrs from then. We asked another shuttle from a different airline to give us a ride. Thankfully they did. Not a great start to our vacation! Once we arrived at the resort it was great. Till we talked to the trip rep at the resort which again said we weren’t on any paperwork to return. Uneasy feeling worrying is there going to a return shuttle! After checking twice and explaining our concerns they were able to set something up. Was a stress no one should have to worry about!

So much to do! We never left the resort and wished we had booked our stay for longer than a week. Staff were kind, happy and very attentive (to be honest, the best service we've had at any resort and we did not book as premium members). We travelled with our 7 year old and he was treated like a prince. The grounds are massive and gorgeously well kept. Rooms are spacious and luxurious. We explored and hiked through natural trails around the property. We discovered a cinote and an inlet where freshwater and salt water meet- was some of the best snorkeling we've ever experienced. The beach is not forever white sand, however has many entry points and tons of fish, turtles and sting rays to discover. Food and drinks were everywhere and staff were never too far away to refresh our beverages. Pools are massive and incredible! The lazy river was too fun...went on it several times each day! Only complaint is they need a beer trail for the float haha! Only resort we'd consider visiting more than once. Night shows are well done and disco is easy to get to. Sky bar has some talented evening entertainment and the entire resort is brightly lit up. We liked that there were so many options and if there was an evening you wanted to chill, the rooms are private and you don't feel you're in the middle of the party. Monkeys and wildlife are very exciting and loved visiting the dolphins. Was more we could have experienced ...never made it to the spa, didn't have a chance to try the biking or even see the other half of the resort! We have been home for only a few days and are already telling everyone we know that it's the most amazing resort they could choose to go to!

We stayed here in January 2020, the resort grounds were kept clean and beautiful. the staff were all friendly and very helpful, if needed - the rooms were very clean and walkways were always cleaned every morning The main buffet was amazing - always great food and lots of choices Service in all restaurants and buffet were quick and friendly The beach buffet was excellent also - chicken wings were amazing and never had a problem getting them. Lots of walking but the shuttle drivers were always (friendly &) willing to drive you wherever you wanted to go Beach was amazing - could always find a chair All the pools were always sparkling clear Definitely would return Could not find one complaint about the resort Thank you Heather Felice @ Trip Central for everything!!

Everything about this hotel was excellent, plenty of activitys to keep you busy, rooms were very modern and well kept, lots of bars with many drink options, staff was very nice, rock and coral in the water at the beach so bring water socks but the snorkeling right off the beach is incredible

Hubby and I went to the grand sirenis for our 20th anniversary, it was awesome!! The staff was great! The hotel was very clean, the food was very good, the weather wasn’t great but that has nothing to do with the hotel, the beach is very rocky so bring water shoes, there are lots of fish right in the shallow water so snorkelling is great.

Our family stayed in Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya last week. It was great. This is our first time to Mexico. Here are our reviews: Pro: 1. Resort is nice and beautiful, service is excellent. 2. Pools are nice. Both the noisy pool and quiet pool are good for playing (noisy) or swimming (noisy and quiet), or just doing nothing. There are rest rooms and bars close to each pool, very convenient. 3. You can see lots of fish at the beach. 4. There are restaurants on the beach and by the pool, very convenient. 5. Sea weed isn't a problem, at least when we were there. 6. Main buffet restaurant is good. Con: 1. Like many people mentioned, there are stones in the sand. Only a small part is powder sand beach. Need water shoes for sure. 2. We tried 3 A La Carte restaurants, Mexican, Mediterranean and Japanese, the Mexican is good, we are disappointed about the other two.

We had an amazing vacation and wish we did not have to come back. The hotel, food and rooms where just amazing. Can’t wait to book our next vacation with Michelle for my 40th this year. Michelle went above and beyond as your agent.

The best part of the resort were the animal friendly grounds. Lots of jungle like growth and lots of agouti, coatimundi, monkeys, and a healthy, controlled cat population. Beach was very small and rocky. Difficult to find a place to sit . Lovely quiet pool.

Rooms were big. Bed was really comfortable but pillows a bit too high which I’m not used to. All lower level doors should have flaps on the bottom to ensure hugs don’t get in with that gap. I have a bug on my night table when i woke up one morning so i jammed a towel each night thereafter. Room cleaning was good. Free WI-FI which was great not to have and pay extra. Decent reception in rooms. The room safe was also free of charge. The coffee shop and ice cream parlour is awesome. The pools were clean and we didn’t feel cramped even though the resort is HUGE. We didn’t have trouble getting chairs. Lazy river was cool. A la cartes ; we tried the mexican. Didn’t like it. The steakhouse was decent but long wait time. The japanese was the best one of the best meals I’ve had. Buffet......what can i say. Not a 5 star I’ll leave it at that. Grounds well kept. I didn’t like that they shoved us in the furthest building and tried to upsell our room to have a better location. They wanted 560$US for the upgrade. I declined. Midway through the stay they emailed a survey and wrote that the mexican restaurant was bad and the upsell for the building was revolting. They called back the next day and asked what was wrong with the restaurant. The 6th day they offered to move us and give us an extra restaurant but we had a reservation already and were leaving the next day......great coincidence. We declined as that would’ve been a hassle. Be prepared to walk quite a bit..... it’s a really big resort... i can’t say that enough. I would try another resort if I’m going back to mexico.

For the moment that our bus stopped at the front of the lobby till the bus left 7 days later! The resort lived up to its rating. It was amazing and fun. The staff are friendly and kind. Mini Cooper and his side kick Zouhair rocked the activities at the pool. The kids had a great time! The buffet had a different theme every night. We booked at the restaurants but always ended up eating at the buffet because it was that good.

Rooms were very nice,beds comfortable. Grounds and pools were kept very clean. Lots of entertainment during the day. Service was top notch. Food was really good. Lazy river was a lot of fun. Will return

Our recent stay was amazing! The resort was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was amazing! The beach isn’t great, but the pools (x3) made up for that! Beautiful spot, would definitely return!

best resort stay we have ever had, the service and the resort itself were awesome. best room we have ever stayed in big beautiful and clean. never had such good service before ever. never waited long for a drink or anything.

We really loved our stay at grand sirenis. The rooms were large and clean and the bathrooms were incredible. The drinks were done with love. Good quality and real ingredients. The lazy river was a major plus too. The location is awesome as we were able to go to the ruins and cenotes on our own within a half hour. The spa was also very nice. We recommend if you stay here to try the water circuit. I say the experience was almost perfect for the following reasons. The beach was very small and more than half of it was rocky... I recommend water shoes. The night time became repetitive and a little boring if you don’t want to go to the night entertainment or if you want to do something after the show there are no further activities other than the disco which sat empty except for a few kids. Even the sports bar had only 2 pool tables and they were always busy. They really need to have something else going on in terms of adult activity seeing as the pools and beach are no longer an option after 6. Either way we had a great time during the day. One thing I will note about the hotel that left us with a bad taste in our mouths was they kept leaving us notes on our door for a free gift. First it was an additional a la carte reservation which we ignored then a spa water circuit. The note said it was in exchange for 1hr and a half of our time. The concierge told us it was because they were celebrating their 10 years and it was strictly a promotional thing. So we thought, can’t hurt. 1 1/2 hrs ofmlistening to them talk and we get a spa circuit. I’m warning you. Whatever you do. Don’t accept any gifts from them. It’s not worth it. We received two phone calls from the concierge making sure we would show up... we were met by a sales man who had breakfast with us and tried to find out everything he could about us, our income, the types of travelers we were.... he showed us the presidential suites and started talking to us about a membership plan. The man was trying to sell us a timeshare. He took us to a room where other salesmen were working on other guests and after 3 hours we began to ask when it would be over. We wanted to enjoy the limited time we had left in the sun. He ignored the question. Then salesmen started standing up and announcing that their guests just bought memberships and the room started clapping. It felt gross to be honest. So we turned to him and told him that we weren’t interested and never were. We were promised a gift for listening to a 90min presentation and they already had us for 3 hours. So he nodded to a man across the room to take over. We told the next guy that we appreciated their efforts but we weren’t their demographic. He ignored the comment and started showing us things and saying “but I guess this isn’t for you because you don’t like Nice things”. So after the fourth time he said that sentence we stopped him and asked him what exactly he was trying to do. “When someone says no you must respect that. Now please let us out.” Then he got aggressive with us and started asking “yeah? Well then why did you come here? Why did you come to this resort if you hate it so much? If you’re so above it? Fine! Presentation over! It’s over!” But then he nodded to a third person who now took his place and wanted a quick word. We repeated that we wanted to be released now because it’s gone on too long and we didnt agree to do this for three hours, and we were not interested in their timeshare. She looked at us and said she worked directly for the owner and she needed to finish her part so just bare with it just a while longer... after, we had never been more relieved to be released from something, and couldn’t believe the extent of pushy, not to mention the sales tactic of offending our personal travel choices to “show us the light”...I am still angry about it. We came back to our room to find a third note under our door letting us know that if we “changed our mind about joining the family they’d still be there” ... ugh. I wish we hadn’t witnessed this or our thoughts would be “perfect place..And we highly recommend it”, but they showed us their motivations and weren’t even gracious about it. So point being is to enjoy it for what it is and do not accept gifts from the resort
