Not Every All Inclusive Hotel is the same

When you hear the term "all inclusive" in regards to a hotel, you likely expect several things to come along with your hotel stay. The truth of the matter is that not every all inclusive hotel has the same options. However, the Grand Velas Rivera Maya is one all inclusive hotel that has it all.

At the Grand Velas Rivera Maya, you will have access to three major sections. The Zen Grand Section is a family-friendly area with elegant and exotic suites with large rooms, private terraces, and indoor jacuzzis. Families and business travelers alike enjoy this lush section due to its proximity to the convention center and the hotel pool.

The Ambassador Section features suites that are even larger with ocean views, sitting areas, and other luxurious amenities. These suites are near the kid's club as well as the gym.

And the Exclusive Grand Class Section has only the utmost privacy along with plenty of relaxing features. The large suites have Mexican artwork with private terraces, beautiful views, and plunge pools.

Though some rooms are larger than others, they all include a level of elegance and luxury unlike those at other resorts. Once you choose between the large variety of rooms available, you will also want to know about the food. The Grand Velas Rivera Maya has a full tour of culinary delights and the meals are all included. The Piaf is a French restaurant with a casual elegance while Sen Lin is an Asian restaurant with a family friendly atmosphere. Frida has fine Mexican cuisine and Cocina de Autor has molecular items from the Mexican Caribbean. For Italian and Mediterranean options, there is the Lucca restaurant and the list goes on. 

The next time you are looking for the perfect location for a business meeting or conference, or even a casual family or romantic getaway, the Grand Velas Rivera Maya is the perfect option. With conference accommodations, a variety of suites from which to choose, fine and family dining, and a large amount of area activities this all inclusive resort really does include every option any traveler could need or want.

Meeting on the 18th Green

Corporate meetings and retreats are often known for their mix of intense work sessions and beautiful relaxing landscapes. Golf retreats are currently on the rise as a perfect mix of the two. Executives spend their days meeting the retreat's goals and objectives but early morning and late afternoons are the perfect time for a round of golf to take care of the more conversational business. 

The 400-acre Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, Mexico, boasts a waterfront infinity pool with breathtaking views that often include whales feeding below. The 18-hole course was designed by Jack Nicklaus, and has one unique hole on an island 200 yards out. Also in Mexico, the Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen is an isolated 45-acres complete with small boats, called lanchitas, used to explore the local waterways. The course is so respectful of the natural landscape that the Audubon Society has recognized the pristine preservation of the Greg Norman-designed experience. 

Another Four Seasons Resort in Guancaste, Costa Rica, allows nature to mix with the retreat experience, as monkeys are commonly seen in the resort's trees. Eco-tours such as zip-lining through the jungle or hiking around a live volcano provide an authentic island experience to those who like a little adventure. The 18-hole, par 72 golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer.

In Bermuda, The Reefs is built on the ruins of a 1680 farmhouse that overlooks a private beach. Featuring an award-winning spa, all rooms at this stunning resort offer ocean vistas in full view. 

Consistently ranked among the top five golf resorts by Conde Nast Traveler, the Coeur D'Alene Golf Resort in Idaho has the world's first and currently only floating island green. Only accessible by water taxi, golfers swing towards the mainland. Event planners even have the option of hosting on the golf course pavilion with a direct view of the floating green, or, for more private meetings, a cruise fleet of up to six boats is available. 

Golfers of all levels can appreciate the opportunity to spend some of their meeting time outside. Whether a casual or competitive group, attendees to an off-site retreat at a golf-friendly resort will have the perfect mix of business and pleasure.
