Impressive Suites & Vistas at Grand Residences Cancun

Posted on August 18, 2015 by lesleycarter

I arrived at Grand Residences Cancun yesterday and I was expecting a beautiful suite with an ocean view, it is Cancun after all, but I wasn’t expecting the size of my suite, what I found on the terrace or the extent of the vistas. Color me impressed with Grand Residences. The suite is in the top five best suites I’ve ever experienced and the views make me want to stay up 24 hours a day.

When I walked into my suite, I was greeted with an open, airy living room equipped with two single murphy beds and a dining room. The dining room would be large enough for my entire family and the rich colors filled the room. A bottle of tequila waited for me on the counter with two fresh limes and two shot glasses. (A shot of tequila was a great way to ring in my trip to Mexico.) I rounded the corner of the entryway to the massive, gourmet kitchen with stainless steal appliances and granite counter-tops, a half bathroom and laundry room. Then, I entered the spacious bedroom with a king-sized bed and a single murphy hide-away bed, a full bathroom with hydro-massage tub, rainfall shower, dressing area and duel vanities. I was blown away! You could have one heck of a party at this place. It was the extensive, private terrace with a gigantic soaking tub that truly made my jaw drop. I laid in the hot, bubbly tub for over an hour listening to the waves and gazing at stars.

At night, the resort had a golden glow around the infinity pool. The vibrant colors lit up the night sky with a dreamy hue.

I woke to an equally impressive sunrise that made it worth getting up early.

There is so much beauty in Mexico. I keep coming back for more. I can’t get enough. Grand Residences highlights all the best of Mexico and I can almost see it all from my terrace.

  I keep coming back to Cancun; I’ve been here more than a dozen times and none of the suites compare to this one. This morning I relaxed in the hot tub for an hour and watched the sun come up. Heaven!

        I have. Was there this summer. It is North of Cancun in the Playa Mujeres area, not Isla Mujeres. If you get a chance you should check it out.

        It has the right balance of amenities, food (could be better), and size as it not too big. I am not a fan of mega sized resorts.

  I did! We moved in last month and traveled to Canada three days later. I haven’t been home since. I look forward to filling it with DIY projects and making it my home.

    It would be interesting to find out from your point of view. 🙂 I like rustic Spanish & beach cabins. Informal & relaxed would be my style. How about you?

      Definitely informal and an ocean view, but I do enjoy amenities as well. The hot tub on the terrace was one of my favorite, relaxing experiences. I love Spanish style and architecture but less rustic than you might like. I do like to feel like I’m at home so beachy colors work well for me.

        Do you mean kitchen by amenities? I couldn’t think of anything better than an ocean view, terrace with BBQ and would love to sit under the stars in an outdoor tub-whilst drinking a chilli mojito. Yum!
