Grand Residences Riviera Cancun Rings in 2015 as the Yucatan's Top-Rated Resort
The leading resort in Cancun, Cozumel and Riviera Maya continues to receive honors with its focus on personalized service and attention
Cancun, Mexico - January 22, 2015 - While mega all-inclusive resorts seem to be taking over the neighborhood, Grand Residences Riviera Cancun has carved its own niche, receiving positive praises by focusing on a truly personalized guest experience. The 103-all-suite resort, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, debuted in December 2013 and quickly achieved Riviera Maya's highest ranking on TripAdvisor in only nine short months. Now, just over a year since opening, the resort has taken the top spot on TripAdvisor out of all hotels in the greater Yucatan region, including popular destinations Cancun, Riviera Maya and Cozumel.
In addition to receiving this elite recognition from guests, the resort has also earned several awards and accolades by the travel industry media. Most recently, the resort was named in Caribbean Journal's 2014 Caribbean Travel Awards: Chef Yann Cozic was selected as “Hotel Chef of the Year;” El Faro Grill was recognized among the best restaurants of the year; and the pool was featured as one of the Caribbean's best.
As evident in the “Hotel Chef of the Year” and “Best Restaurant” rankings, delectable dining continues to be at the heart of the Grand Residences experience. Unlike the standard buffet fare found at all-inclusive hotels, Grand Residences has taken a different direction by offering the Grand Gourmet Package. The package, which was extended into 2015 by popular demand, is the perfect alternative for guests seeking the value and stress-free benefits of all-inclusive dining while still satisfying discerning palates. Under the guidance of European-trained and “Hotel Chef of the Year” Executive Chef Yann Cozic, the resort's culinary team prepares an unmatched gastronomic experience, paired with personalized service and a picture-perfect background.
In addition to exquisite dining, the Grand Gourmet package includes all of the following luxuries:
Ø Choice of suite accommodations (from a junior suite to a four-bedroom suite) and deluxe Bulgari amenities
