The Coolest Perk at Grand Velas Riviera Maya

At Mexico’s Grand Velas Riviera Maya, the latest inclusion is a sweet one that’s perfect for summer.

Guests at the AAA five-diamond all-inclusive resort on Mexico’s Caribbean coast can now enjoy frosty paletas (ice pops) from carts that roam poolside twice a day.
