However if the clients want to leave the property I recommend
Cenacolo for Italian, Oh la lá! for French fare, and Axiote for
Mexican. These restaurants for me are the best places to get
nice food and outstanding service.
Q: For an extravagant experience that
is unique to the Riviera Maya, what would
you recommend?
Swimming with the whale sharks is an extravagant and unique
experience available along the coast. In this activity you get to
snorkel with 40 feet whale sharks in their natural environment.
You can also see sea turtles, rays, and more natural wonders.
This is definitely a breathtaking experience that guests who
love the sea do not want to miss. Also, swimming in the
crystalline water of the cenotes (ancient sacred caves) is also a
lavish activity that you cannot miss.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya, what do
