“Striking Kanai retreat with captive pricing”
The Riviera Maya Edition at Kanai is a spectacular 2024 design resort — simple beautiful rooms, an amazing spa, nice pools and beach club, and above-and-beyond staff who welcomed a toddler warmly. Access to the neighboring St. Regis for dinners is a perk. But real cautions recur: it is remote with no ride-hailing, so dining is captive; one guest found mandatory-felt tipping aggressively solicited and the Kitchen dinner salty and dear; others call it overpriced versus the St. Regis next door; the beach is not the best; and a group event once closed restaurants.
