Gem Spa
An indulgent Cancun spa escape
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

The massive and stunning Gem Spa lies hidden within the walls of
Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun, an elegant beach resort located in the heart of
Cancun. Known for its lagoon-style pools and impeccable restaurants, the hotel boasts a Four-Star spa every bit as beautiful as its beach.
A wide staircase leads up to the lavish retreat that overlooks a blue pool lined with soothing jets, granting arriving you a glimpse of the pampering that is sure to come. Designated areas for men and women are found on opposing sides of the room, with both being a warmly lit haven where heat and cold combine to bring restoration and peace.
A glass elevator travels down to the lower floor, where the spa’s blue-tinged relaxation space is found. The 26 treatment rooms exude tranquility with rich wood, sand-colored marble, black granite and Italian mosaics throughout the impressive 40,000-square-foot space.
Our Inspector's Highlights

• As a sign of respect to the ancient Mayan ritual techniques used to treat spa guests, Gem Spa at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun does not permit alcohol on the premises.
The Treatments
• Inspired by the ingredients and techniques used by the Mayan people from the regions surrounding Cancun, the luxury spa boasts several Mayan treatments designed to renew and relieve.
• Copal, a local tree resin that cleanses and purifies the spirit in ancient Mayan ceremonies, has its revitalizing properties utilized in the 120-minute Mayan Gods Ritual.
