Our View of the Mayan Palace Resorts

The Mayan Palace Resorts was a pivotal Grupo Mayan brand.

According to WikiBin and Mayanresorts.info (This link is no longer active.), Grupo Mayan Resorts began operations in 1975 with its first property called Pariso Mazatlan. A second property followed in 1979, which was called Pariso del Mar, also located in Mazatlan. In 1984, the then fledgling Grupo Mayan Resorts inaugurated its third property in Mazatlan, which the company called Costa Brava Hotel (Brave Coast Hotel). This hotel is located only a short walk from the Paraiso del Mar. Later, Costa Brava Hotel changed its name to Vidafel Mazatlan, which later was changed again to Sea Garden.

The next moves for Grupo Mayan were significant. Consider the following activity:

Mayan Palace is located on six properties and is the name sake for Grupo Mayan.

In October, 2008 we learned through a fellow member that 1) Vedanta Capital Group owns the Grupo Mayan brands and 2) Mayan Palace is included in the brands owned by Vedanta Capital Group.

This was news to us especially since we purchased our Grand Luxxe units at Nuevo Vallarta in December, 2007 and heard nothing of these events.

Since then, we have learned more about the Mayan Palace. It is a highly regarded resort in the travel industry and is very popular among the many Canadians, Americans and Mexican Nationals who spend annual vacations at one of the beach side locations.

Although many owners of Mayan Palace rights to use contracts have upgraded, there are many more who are very satisfied with the accommodations they have access to through their contract rights.

Based upon photos we have received from fellow members, Mayan Palace units provide hotel like accommodations on beautiful properties.


To provide you with a glimpse of five of the six Mayan Palace resorts, we found on YouTube five excellent videos that were shared by a very informative RCIVacations. RCI is one of the timeshare industry's largest exchange companies and is owned by Wyndham Worldwide. Grupo Vidanta, now operating as Vida Vacation Club has a long standing operating relationship with RCI.

These videos were published in 2017, so the properties may now appear changed with all the new construction that has taken place since then.
