Concierge was all the way at the front of the resort which was inconvenient. FREE shuttles to Playa del Carmen. All though the food was awesome, I missed how personal the other resort felt in terms of customer service. I also missed the beautiful beach.

Just came back from grand riviera princess. Don't ever go to that Mexican place for dinner, worst food I've ever had :X how can they go wrong with MEXICAN food at Mexico?!
And if you're in to party scene, definitely not a place to go to. Everyone's old and retired here. For a 5-days trip costed me $1400 (peak season+last minute booking cuz it was my friend's sister's wedding). Overall I liked the resort though. My room was junior deluxe suite and it was BIG for two girls. We had an extra bed that came in pretty handy at the end. My other friend stayed at platinum room in sunset side which was more expensive but room-size wise, ours was bigger (guess all the extra charges on them were for wi-fi, outdoor zakuzi which is really unneccessary, private lounge services and other perks) Just wished there were more younger people.
