Mayanresorts is a philosophy, belief and concept mainly taught by the Vedas, India’s most ancient scripture. This is the very concept employed in the facilities and amenities of Mayanresorts as well as in the service, from the activities to the fine cuisine that the resort offers.

According to the Vedas teaching, a person eats to live, rather than lives to eat. This teaching does not mean that the food that the Mayanresorts offers is tasteless. In fact, aside from the great and relaxing activities that one can enjoy in this place, the fine cuisine of the Vedas is something that anyone longing for a great holiday in Mayanresorts looks forward to.

What does the Mayanresorts offer?

Basically, a Mayanresorts fine cuisine consists of fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, seeds, nuts and dairy products incorporated in the cuisine moderately. Countless dishes, under the traditional food preparation of the Vedas will be enjoyed in any of the resorts practicing the belief of the Vedas. These are mainly combination of nutritious foods that are not only good for the body but also for the soul.

Of course, since the Mayanresorts concept originated from India, you can never put away the spices and curry. These spices fried with curry can actually turn a plain vegetable dish into a flavorful and delectable one. The great chefs in the Mayanresorts can even incorporate the Mediterranean flavor by adding herbs and coconut milk for an enticing and enchanting Thai entrée. There’s a lot more in Mayanresorts that can really make your mouth water! With the satisfying and scrumptious fine cuisine of the Vedas, even the die-hard meat lover in your family will never miss the meat! Those who think that a Vedas meal is nothing but bland and boring are actually in for a big and pleasant surprise!

Vedas Cuisine – A Spiritual Diet?

No! You don’t have to be spiritual nor a vegetarian to enjoy the cuisine offered by the Vedas. All you need to do is to become more aware of what your body really needs. This way, you will find eating meat a little heavy at the start and heavier in the long run. This is the exact opposite of what you will experience when you try the fine cuisine of the Mayanresorts. It will help you maintain that energized yet light feeling that most Vedas practitioners are talking about. The cuisine offered by the Vedas is especially important if you have the goal to elevate your consciousness to the level when you feel love and compassion for all the living things that are breathing – including the animals. Eating these animals rather than caring about them and respecting them will simply harden your heart, and this will help you move towards the goal that is beyond your reach.

Switching to the Vedas Diet

After staying in the Mayanresorts, and trying the different dishes offered by the chefs, you will find yourself wanting to switch to the Vedas diet. While it is true that the cuisine is so fine that you want to stick with it, don’t do it over night. If you are really decided to prepare the dishes you tasted while you were on your vacation, you should first cut down on the red meat while gradually eliminating it from the dishes you are preparing for your family.

The Sea Garden is the oldest hotel of the Mayan Resorts, but you will never find a cleaner, nicer kept facility in Mazatlan. The staff is excellent, the grounds beautiful. The rooms are on the small side but if you are going to stay in the room all day you are better off at home.

Beach is beautiful and not crowded and the pools are wonderful. We stayed for seven nights and found the staff excellent. We were not totally comfortable with our rooms view so they gave us multiple other room options. The pool side activities were very good thanks to all and the volleyball was a lot of fun. The rooms were clean and the maid service was more then eager to clean as often as you liked. Getting down town and to the airport was very easy. Cabs were everywhere and the bus was a much better value and perfectly efficient. Sheets were super white & soft the resort grounds were clean too! Needless to say, the staff was nice, very courteous. There were 3 pools & they were also very immaculate. There was also a bar and several restaurants that serve you food or drinks.

The beach is about a 3 minute slow walk, it's right there. Go to the Sea Garden and have fun.

The concept of the Mayan Palace by MayanResorts Hotel arose from the need for several vacation options. Not only different destinations but also for various activities, all with the same space and quality of contemporary minimalist forms each with its specific regional characteristics.

The Mayan Palace by MayanResorts Hotels broke away from the traditional hotel schemes and designs existing in Mexico at the end of the 80’s and 90’s; always seeking to be avant-garde, they established guidelines for both Mexican architecture and the hotel industry itself, bringing the design parameters used in the Mayan civilization to the present age. They accomplished this by resuming the schemes of clean, massive, and impressive volume; the octagonal plotting of designs and orientation following a main axis, yet respecting the natural condition of the location thus providing amiable organic forms.

In 2002, The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts was created as a challenging new project, following efficient design parameters with an emphasis on increased comfort and space in its rooms. New ideas took shape with more cosmopolitan and stylized forms, further innovated to include terraces with pools and finishing touches beyond the conventional; leading the Grand Mayan by MayanResorts to become a pioneer in the hotel industry and establishing a new era in Mexican tourist resorts.

Presently there are 7 tourist developments in Mexico that blend the concept of moderness with the respect for ancestral wisdom.

MayanResorts in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit

This is where the first of the Mayan Palace by MayanResorts hotels began operating in 1997; becoming the first pure minimalism building in Mexico. Here, simple and natural materials were used: aluminum, white polished plasters, washed concrete on exterior floors, regional stone trimming, and only a few primary colors for the heavy central elements.

A new way to integrate buildings and pools was sought in The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts, leading to the creation of a back patio framed by a geometrical set formed by the facades depicting a series of pyramids which contrasted with the open sea. These buildings express contemporary Mexican architecture through the use of volumes and natural colors.

A mere ten years after its inauguration, we can find a full range of products offered by the Mayan Resorts: Time-sharing hotels, such as, the Sea Garden by MayanResorts, the Mayan Palace by MayanResorts, and The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts.

Likewise, within the same development, we can find the Mayan Island Playa and the Mayan Island Golf, two Real Estate Investment complexes and an 18-hole par 71 Golf Course, designed by Jim Lipe. The facilities are linked to the hotels’ public spaces, such as, bars, restaurants, cafeterias, discotheques, a gym, and a spa.

MayanResorts in Acapulco, Guerrero

In the port of Acapulco we can find one of Mayan Resorts’s most complete tourist developments. Included in the Time-sharing are the Sea Garden by MayanResorts, the Mayan Palace by MayanResorts, and The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts. Here, the largest pool in Latin America was built at the end of the 80’s, adding a new concept of an ample lobby with a central lake and the enormous Mayan palapas known as the “Mayan Palace”. Due to its usage of open spaces it has come to be known as one of the most spectacular hotels in the world.

A further addition to this spectacular area was a golf course that houses the Mayan Golf real estate development. Similarly, the Mayan Island Playa real estate complex, which has established a guideline for architectural typology, was also built. Mayan Lakes, the third real estate development, completes the array of Real Estate Investments. This great resort is located within a contemporary urban environment, but at the same time it reflects the semi-forest coastal vegetation which responds to a warm and humid climate, during the better part of the year, which is an added attraction for visiting and living here.

MayanResorts in Mazatlán, Sinaloa

The history of Mayan Resorts began along the coast of Mazatlan around the 70’s, a pioneer of the “Time-Sharing” concept.

Presently we can find the Sea Garden by MayanResorts hotels, and in the near future, a Mayan Palace by MayanResorts will be opened.

Mayan Resorts in Puerto Vallarta. Jalisco

The Mayan Palace by MayanResorts Puerto Vallarta opened in 1998, and is a development that is located on a smaller surface than the other resorts. Added to the Vallarta marine’s architectural typology this area was the detonating factor for the creation of an interior space; from which the outside can be appreciated as a series of inviting pictures, waiting to be discovered.

The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts Residence Club will be built in the near future, and will include a view of the marina. Being higher than the Mayan Palace by MayanResorts it will blend in with both the marina and the environment; leading it to become one of the site’s cornerstones.

Mayan Resorts in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur

The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo’s geographic location, poses an interesting challenge to artistic architecture. The colors of the desert and the dramatic nature of the sea lead to an inevitable integration with the environment in terms of materials and shapes. Consequently, desert colors with earth tones were chosen to establish contrasts; wood vertical screens with dark colors and thin brise soleils on the top level terraces were also used for the same purpose.

The hotel is a U-shape that opens out to the sea. The lateral bodies decrease in height as they approach the beach in order to provide a better view and subtly integrate with the magnificent beach. With the aspiration of attaining a high quality product, the group decided to build all the rooms with an ocean view and include a traditional pool on each suite’s terrace. Nevertheless, in this case it was important to enlarge the terraces to make the rooms more comfortable and avoid solar incidences indoors.

The surprise factor is achieved when access to the lobby is through a quadruple height Mayan filter illuminated through onyx leading to an open space with a view to the outdoor areas; which are like an oasis in the middle of the desert. This is attained by using regional vegetation which also generates ample shade provided by very tall palm trees. A huge octagonal shaped pool lies at the center of the impressive outdoor area which visually integrates with the ocean’s horizon.

MayanResorts in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora

This site is the largest tourist development in México. This enormous area, due to its geographic location, is unique in the world, being located on the Gulf of Cortez, which is considered to be the world’s largest natural aquarium. It is divided in two: the Northern part surrounds a swamp rich in flora and fauna, an element which produces the view and its integration with it. The Southern part is a peninsula between the marsh and the sea, with an outstanding beach providing two different views from the buildings.

The scheme of the building design is to blend with the natural scenery; thus the idea is a monochromatic response to the desert’s drastic climatic changes by using rounded volume at its edges and somber materials, such as, stone, quarry rock or rustic cement.

This spectacular place is where we find The Mayan Palace by MayanResorts and The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts hotels, as well as, villas and apartments, pools, amenities, green areas, and 3 golf courses; two of them designed by Jack Nicklaus and the third by Greg Norman.

MayanResorts in Cancún, Quintana Roo

In 2001, the first Mayan Palace by MayanResorts hotel in the Maya Riviera began operations. Today, Cancun is one of the most complete and interesting tourist developments, where the architecture does not compete with the natural landscape. On the contrary, a real effort has been made to camouflage it within the area’s vegetation. This has given rise to low buildings, which at the same time are surrounded by organically grown plants that adapt to both the landscape and the natural scenery composed of cenotes (natural wells) and mangroves.

Being on the Mexican Caribbean demands two essential features: flavor and being avant-garde. This is accomplished through a variety of textures, contrasting colors, the use of rustic and stylistic wood, huge palapas of capricious shapes, and local stones. The narrow paths lead to the discovery of facilities hidden within the vegetation, an effect also observed in Mayan Cities which provides a surprise factor that is very pleasant to stroll around in.

One of the principles of this development is to respect the natural flora and fauna; as we tour the grounds we can find a large variety of native vegetation, as well as, cenotes (natural wells), and many other elements that harmoniously contrast with the contemporary buildings.

In Cancun we find all the comfort of a high level tourist destination: The Mayan Palace by MayanResorts and The Grand Mayan by MayanResorts hotels, spa, restaurants, bars, one of the most spectacular pools in the region, and a 18-hole golf course Nicklaus Design.

As you see, your best option for vacations is MayanResorts.
