Grand Mayan Facilities

We are off to the Grand Mayan in Puerto Vallarta for the first time. Our normal process is to bring some frozen food so we can have a meal or three "in house." Since we have not stayed at a Grand Mayan unit before, we do not know how large the refer is. We usually take along frozen salmon and different types of steaks. It occurred to us that we do not know if the refer in the Grand Mayan is large enough to hold anything that has been prefrozen and could keep the freeze in the food.

Any help would be appreciated.

New Acquaintance

Can you believe it? We will be in Nuevo Vallarta on the first of the month. Be there for two weeks, staying at the Grand Mayan. Our excitement is high not only because it will be the first time in many years that we will be away for more than a week, but also because we will stay at a Gran Mayan resort for the first time.

We have seen the evolution of the brands within the Grupo Mayan organization. Now we have Bliss, Grand Bliss, Bliss Jungle, and Grand Mayan Jungle. What the heck ARE these?

Its interesting to see how a timeshare group evolves. Sea Garden was the first type of unit. Then came the Mayan Palace. Later the Grand Mayan and now the Bliss.

Now don't forget the condos that have been sold and the new luxury format called the Grand Luxxe.

So, from what we see in the various forums, GrandMayan owners are upgrading to the Bliss and Luxxe brands. We think this is a great progression because it assures owners that there will be ways to stay current with the times. Can you imagine how you would feel if you were a Sea Garden owner and did not have options to upgrade? That would be a dead end street, in our view.

So, anyway, any thoughts about the size of the refrigerator in the Grand Mayan units?

Grand Luxxe Villa

More and more pictures and comments are coming from Puerto Vallarta about the new Grand Luxxe Villas. We expect these accommodations will be beautiful and luxurious, but don't know yet because they have not been built.

This is the first time we have stepped out to make a pre-construction purchase. On the surface, so far so good. We are traveling in November to take a first hand look at all the progress being made.

Lots of uncertainty and faith here. But, what the heck, isn't that what life is for.....taking a chance at something that appears to fit your interests and going with it? Of course, taking the chance assumes you know full well what you want and whether the chances of success are in your favor.

This is our first blog of what we hope to be many. Stay tuned and welcome to our world!
