Grand Mayan Resorts followed the success of the Mayan Palace.
According to WikiBin and Mayanresorts.info (The link is no longer available.), Grupo Mayan Resorts began operations in 1975 with its first property called Pariso Mazatlan. A second property followed in 1979, which was called Pariso del Mar, also located in Mazatlan. In 1984, the then fledgling Grupo Mayan Resorts inaugurated its third property in Mazatlan, which the company called Costa Brava Hotel (Brave Coast Hotel). This hotel is located only a short walk from the Paraiso del Mar. Later, Costa Brava Hotel changed its name to Vidafel Mazatlan, which later was changed again to Sea Garden.

The next moves for Grupo Mayan were significant. Consider the following activity:
Year Comments
2003 First Grand Mayan opens at Riviera Maya in October, 2003.
2003 The second Grand Mayan opens at Acapulco in November, 2003.
2004 The third Grand Mayan opens at Nuevo Vallarta in October, 2004.
2007 The fourth Grand Mayan opens at San Jose del Cabo in October, 2007.
2015 The fifth Grand Mayan will open on March 1, 2015 at La Jolla de Cortes (Puerto Penasco).

In October, 2008 we learned through a fellow member that 1) Vedanta Capital Group owns the Grupo Mayan brands and 2) Mayan Palace is included in the brands owned by Vedanta Capital Group.

This was news to us especially since we purchased our Grand Luxxe units at Nuevo Vallarta in December, 2007 and heard nothing of these events.

Since then, we have learned more about the Grand Mayan. It is a highly regarded resort in the travel industry and is very popular among the many Canadians, Americans and Mexican Nationals who spend annual vacations at one of the beach side locations.

Although many owners of Grand Mayan rights to use contracts have upgraded, there are many more who are very satisfied with the accommodations they have access to through their contract rights.

Based upon personal experience, we like the Grand Mayan units as they provide hotel like accommodations on beautiful properties.

Note: All Grand Mayan rooms are configured in the same way at each Grand Mayan Resort location. Only the structure of the resort complex might be different.

To provide you with a glimpse of three of the four Grand Mayan resorts, we found on You Tube three excellent videos that were shared by a very informative website called RCI Vacations. RCI is one of the timeshare industry's largest exchange companies and is owned by Wyndham Worldwide. Grupo Vidanta, now operating as Vida Vacation Club has a long standing operating relationship with RCI.

Enjoy the following videos. They were produced in 2017.
