We had an incredible stay at The Edition! We were very excited to stay at this new hotel, and it did not disappoint! We’ve stayed at other Editions, and this property had the most beautiful, well-maintained grounds by far and a very spacious, clean room. The view of the ocean was stellar. Most importantly, the staff was incredible! They truly went above and beyond! Alberto at the pool and Emmanuel and Manager Ana M. at the Kitchen were so thoughtful and made our trip! We can’t wait to return!!

Beautiful property, perfect stay
Had a great time at the Edition. I know some had issues with staff, but we didn’t have an issue with a single staff member (the GM even brought out bags to our room HIMSELF so we didn’t have to walk back to the bell desk). No one seemed above...
Had a great time at the Edition. I know some had issues with staff, but we didn’t have an issue with a single staff member (the GM even brought out bags to our room HIMSELF so we didn’t have to walk back to the bell desk). No one seemed above or below anything and was super helpful.
The drinks were great and while I’d read the food was so so I had a really great meal at all the restaurants we went to Ki’is for dinner, the kitchen for breakfast and both the pool restaurant and so’ol beach club. They also have deals with the neighboring properties (st Regis and Auberge Etereo) so you can dine and visit other properties without much hassle or distance.
The property is STUNNING and feels five star - our room had a pool and it was beautiful and perfect temperature - all while being not crazy expensive. Highly recommended!

Beautiful resort, well appointed and the best customer service I’ve experienced in the Cancun area and any Marriott property. Attention to detail was there in all aspects of service, the food was incredible - ranging from the poolside food to the dinners. The staff is so helpful and friendly, went out of their way to coordinate spa bookings, transportation, reservations and events. This is the second time at the location and the only place I will stay in the area.

We had the pleasure of meeting Gary and having him photograph our engagement this month at the Edition Riviera Maya! This was such a special day and moment for us as a couple and Gary captured everything absolutely perfectly! I was blown away by the photos and will cherish them forever. Gary has a true gift, not only his obvious talent in photography but his kindness, quick turn around, and ability to make us feel so comfortable and special! I would highly recommend Gary and the Beam photography team for your engagement, wedding, family photos, or any special moment in your life!

Amazing experience.. could not recommend more! The staff were so friendly and the service everywhere was top notch. It really makes a difference. You can tell it’s a new property with stunning architecture and views that creates an amazing vibe. If you are looking to lay out at the beach all day or hang by the beautiful pool this is the place for you. We will definitely be back!

Check in was smooth with a modest suite upgrade given to us. But that’s where the good part ends. The food at all the restaurants wasn’t mediocre. Though sometimes the service at the restaurants was decent. My husband and I were celebrating our 26th anniversary and the hotel decided to hide us by the beach so the other conservative families wouldn’t have to watch us (a gay couple) celebrate our milestone event in the restaurant. The ocean is clean but way too shallow, probably about 3 feet deep. We decided to pay for an upgrade to the Obsidian Suite but it had massive water leak in the living and didn’t look like the pics in the app. (It turns out that this hotel upgrades straight couples to this suite on a complimentary basis but we had to pay for it.) The hotel staff can certainly use lots of diversity and inclusion training. We won’t be back until they get it.

Positives
1) 30 min ride from airport
2) Edition is next to St Regis and other hotel (don't know name) the you can use at any time.
3) Food was excellent 10/10. Only ate at Edition and St Regis. Toro at St Regis was our favorite. Ki'is short rib was my favorite meal. Have to get French Toast from Kitchen (we ate it everyday) and the tortillas everywhere were the best I ever had.
4) Rooms were amazing. We got upgraded to an Obsidian Suite which was ridiculous.
5) Staff are superb. So nice and attentive. I used the Bonvoy app for everything and all my requests were fulfilled immediately.
6) Bar at Edition is amazing, St Regis bar is average at best. Drinks were also very good at both hotels.
Negatives
1) Communication with hotel before arrival extremely poor. Emails unanswered, 3 day response times, phone calls not returned. That really pissed me off. Asked to speak with manager twice and he/she never got back to me. Hence why we got upgraded upon arrival.
2) Main pool was under construction for 2 weeks! This sucked but will hopefully not be the case when you go. Beach pool and the beach were great.
3) I got very sick after eating at the pool for dinner. My wife got sick when we got home. Read that another couple got sick at Sol as well. We had lunch there twice and it was good, but dinner not so good.
I would definitely go back as most of the negatives are temporary and can be fixed. The food or water in Mexico I guess don't' agree with me. Property wise I'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful spot with St Regis right next door. Don't think you can go wrong with either hotel.

Beautiful resort with amazing staff. Is quiet for sure, you won’t find pool aerobics or a limbo contest- so if that’s your jam, consider another property. Also we came kid free, our kids would have been bored on day two. But if you crave a small luxury adult geared hotel- this is worth considering. The food and beverage are good, but pricey. The beach is beautiful and the staff is lovely. I particularly loved the tennis facilities on site and the spa here!!
Will be back to Kanai. Gracias ;)

Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Huge thanks to Rafael—he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made our evening even more special! ♥️🧚♀️🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

Our experience at the Edition was truly unforgettable.
Let me tell you what we were celebrating and how old we are so you can have a point of reference.
We went to celebrate the beginning of our honeymoon—we’re both 28 years old.
The first thing I’d highlight was the staff’s attention. Simply exceptional. Joshua was the one who supported us throughout our stay, always making sure everything was going exactly as we had imagined. They even prepared a beautiful surprise for us. On the beach, Ernesto took amazing care of us—such a great attitude and incredibly polite. Our dinner at Kitchen wouldn’t have been the same without Marcos, truly a wonderful person and such an attentive server.
The food was delicious. We recommend not skipping Ki’is—definitely try the octopus and short rib if you're into those. And don’t miss the tlayuda and the brioche bread dessert at Kitchen.
We would absolutely come back.
Thank you, Edition, for making our days of rest so unforgettable.

Beautiful high end quiet resort. Amazing food! Daniel was the best bartender! All very friendly staff. Shout out to Rafael too! Food at all the restaurants was insane. Super clean and great vibes and the hotel rooms are beautiful. Very relaxing! Best hotel we have been too.

Fantastic dinner at So’ol
Food was great and Marco was wonderful. The setting is fantastic and Marco’s knowledge of tequila is unmatched! We are staying at the St. Regis next door and are certainly glad we made the trip over. I’d say this was one of our best dinners on this trip.
Remarkable stay. Thank you to the hole team. Joshua at the front is remarkable. Service is great .
The resort is so beautiful. From the pool to the beach club. The service is truly second to none. Highly recommend if you are looking for a luxury stay in Mexico
Nice property but missing basics

A beautiful property but several basics missing:
1) they desperately need an app or some other way of sharing information about the hotel. To get a menu free restaurant you have to walk to eat restaurant and menu sent you online. Don’t have any prices. There’s no way of knowing how the gym is open for and you don’t get a map of the resort. These may seem like small things, but when you’re trying to relax, it’s important to know what’s going on. Same applies to activities the only place you can find out about this is in the front desk which is not convenient to walk to you every single day you stay. how much every other five stars help in Cancun has an app you can download with all of this information.
2) both restaurants are designed beautifully, but the food is incredibly similar at the Cheek. It needs to be more variety.
3) there is no café place to get a coffee outside of restaurants and it’s not possible to get a smoothie or juice or you can get any fruit in southern ordering room service.

The food, service, and vibe is amazing. We loved the pool cabanas and Brian was an especially amazing waiter. He served us all day and he was so accommodating! Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a quick and easy getaway. Also, breakfast is 10000/10

Impeccably clean, plush poolside and beach lounges and the most accommodating and friendly staff at every step of the way. Special shout out to Manuel, Brian, and Izzy at So’ol restaurant and pool area. They make you feel like a VIP at every chance they get. My husband and I will be back as often as we can!

Having been a repeat guest at the Riviera Maya Edition at Kanai, I can say with complete confidence that the hotel is among the best in which I've ever stayed. The property is beautiful and secluded--the best place to rest and rejuvenate. The hotel grounds are pristine and staff is always nearby to greet you and answer any questions. My most recent stay was excellent and I'd like to express many thanks to Carlos and Pablo for taking the best care of us in our beach cabana, ensuring that we had a first-rate experience.
