When did you purchase your unit(s)? Any construction started? We saw some photos of the models. Have you seen them? Can you share your impressions of them? Must have been good if you purchased. Thanks.

Hello, yes I saw the models and the construction. Just like said above. The models on the beach would be awesome.....but now they are doing high rises and not near the beach! Progress is extremely slow....Texas mexicans can throw an apartment up in a month! They obviously need some of our Mexicans cuz theirs are slower than molasses!!!!!!!

funny we were just in Puerto Penasco "Rocky Point" and the Mayan Grand has 1 building done from 5 years ago, with no amenaties as promished. Holes partially dug for pool.... and now they offer Grand Bliss, Grand Luxxe??? The area was wonderful and employees were wonderful, but no way would we give our money to them.

Wow! What a disappointment. No pool at a place that is touted by the organization. Too bad.

From what I hear at NV, there is progress. We should know more on the 1st of Nov., when we check at the GM NV. Looking forward to seeing how all the construction is progressing.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! WHEN THE LUXX ARE DONE AND YOU LIKE THEM......I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET YOU STAY IN "MINE''?

I just have no clue why they are not doing and building what they say.

Hey, there is a pool, very nice in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) at the Mayan Palace. I just meant the building next to the Palace, the Grand building we exchanged into had nothing outside of it but sand and holes to start a pool and whatever, the second building is not even started after 5 years. but did have a large nice pool (that needs much repair) athe the Palace section. Very spendy for mexico we thought.

Hello, i work for the mayan grupo, or vedanta as know we are shoiwn, i dont work direct in sales, but i verifi all the contracs,

On the rental, on the contract it says that they do not garantee the rental off the unit, and as a option , if you rentet your self, YOU WILL MAKE DOUBLE the money, just check on expedia, on a studio it coast 350 dollars per nigth, wen the mf is lees that 400 PER WEEK, and on the grand mayan a 1 BR with the golf for 4 people golf incluted it coast 9000 DOLLARS!!! renters make a lot of money, they rent and give you what they say, BUT THEY MALE MORE, just check on expedia and try it your self,

Know that you owen the LUxxe, you have acces to EVERETHING, Grand mayan, mayan , sea garden, and LUxxe, so if you like to come on vacation, you can have you week at any other resort in the company AT ANY PLACE,

Rocky Point does have a pool, the reason why they stop working there os becouse the goverment wants to get more money, thats why they are 2 mandetory MF, on the 5 year they dont get it, but on the 25 year, goes for the goverment, unfortiunely, with the change off president in mexico and USA , things are slow,

Ivan,

Interesting to have someone from the company responding. I do have a question that i hope you can help with.

I originally bought a Grand Mayan on resale (much cheaper that way) but then upgraded to the Grand Bliss on my last trip there. I traded in my one week and VC for the same thing in the GB for less then 10K; MF went to $1000, but lot of niceties now: free golf, no MF unless i use, 8 months ahead scheduling, roll over to next year if i don't use, half price MF at 75, no MF after 77, and nicer larger units when built - free golf was huge for me (6 rounds per stay).

My question: what is the difference between the Bliss, Grand Bliss, Grand Luxxe condos, and Grand Luxxe villas in terms of unit size, construction, locations. Also, what is being built of these now and where. These have all been confusing - can you help us out.

Thanks, Mike

HI,

The Bliss: Direct Upgrade from the Mayan The Grand Bliss: Direct Upgrade from the Grand Mayan

The unist on this new concenp are bigger ass well as nicer, from the kitchen to the plasma tv,

On the Luxxe, this are only for sale to existing merbers, after to had your membership for 1 yera MINIMUM, then you can buy the Luxxe, becouse its more like a private home, on the villa its almost 3000 square feet, and the studio has a kitchen, wich is nice , also a small living room, on the suite its a bit smaller, but just as nice.

About growing in the company, the fastes place that its growig its the Nuevo vallarta Location, its like the mother off every one off the other locations, they just purchase more land to create a minitown, i dont know how many people has seen this, but check-in its not going to bee like it used to be, they will check you in a entrance by the town, and carry your bags in to your room just like normal, but you will brout to your room in a minitrain or a miniboat, they are building canals to go from the entrance off the road to the grand bliss loby, and from there go to the diferent towers,

To be honest its very hard to explain just on words, sorry if its confucin, anyway, right know the are building the Luxxe Suites, and they are testing the canals,

The resorts are going to be build in all off the locations, but it made take longer on some that on other,

For those people that own the Luxxe o Bliss Group (Bliss and Grand Bliss) You can have acces to all off the resorts in any of the locations , this include Grand Mayan, Mayan palace and SEa Gardens, it depends on the type off unit that you have, but most off the time its ok to do this, just call member services and ask them to email you on where and how you can have acces to the diferent resort, till you home resort its build, you´ll bee surprise.

also on the recytles on the Bliss and Luxxe, you have free golf, it changes Luxxe to Bliss and unit and time owen, but its free, also tennis and some other stuff,

Dont dude in any questions, have a nice day.

We just got back from Grand Mayan Cabo. First off any time you can get there go. It is the most fantasic resort and beach is as nice as gold coast Australia.. they had pictures of all the Grand Luxxe They will build some are so luxurious. The one in Puerto Penasco will be biggest. twice the size at least of The Atlantis in the Bahamas. Looks like lobby runss 20 floors in height. will have way bigger aquarium and miles of beachfront Ones in Mayan Riviera are triangle shaped only 3 floors high with large courtyards in middle and huge ocean front pools.

Thanks for the information. While at the Riviera Mayan recently, we were told that a Grand Bliss unit was currently under construction next to the Grand Mayan complex at Nuevo. Is that correct? If so, do you know the plan for completion. Are there any other GB units actually under construction?

Thanks, Mike

if you rentet your self, YOU WILL MAKE DOUBLE the

Well, I have posted to rent here as many others and not a bite! So, got any bright ideas of renting???

In 20 sec i made this up, if you post the way you did please keep it to your self,

Internet, go in to chat rooms, their is a page that people log in to just to trade their timeshare, i dont know the name, but it works better that RCi,

The other way just put a sign in your town, and put the price for rent vs. the price the hotel is renting, just check on hawaii, talk to people that own a timeshare, vs. people that rent per nigth,

On expedia, a week with golf at the grand mayan, 4 people, for 6ooo, and the MF its less that a quarter off that, with your attitude you will never ... no matter

Think, went you buy at cosco, YOU HAVE TO BEE A MEMBER, or get help from a friend, pay somebody to get you something, just use your head!!!

Hello, did you tried the 1 800 away i go??

IF you a have problem with the phone number, on your contract you should have a member services /customer phone number that its always available, their working hours are from 10 to 4 , Mexican time

About vedanta they dint buy grupo mayan, it grow, see its more complicated that just purshising a group,

They united with grupo mayan, thats why they hire more member services, that cant lie to the people, check in your contract.

My husband and I will be going to Riviera Maya Jan. 10-17. I will let you all know what's going on down there. We purchased the Gand Luxxe in Nov. of 07 and this will be the first time we have been back since. We love the Mayan Palace and have been with them as timeshare owners and serious upgraders for MANY years. I totally trust them and understand we are not the only ones feeling the economic downturn. When the economy is bad, people don't vacation as much. Give them a chance. It may not be WHEN promised but I believe it will be done. The kitchen in the studio is new information and I will check that out when we get there and go on our tour. Thanks Ivan!!!
