Apple tart was sweet/tart and I ordered two (2) each time. Tenderloin was perfectly cooked as was the Filet. They should have changed the presentation as I have previously mentioned. The Grands tartare was extremely flavorful and seasoned perfectly. I am accustomed to it being served on a salt block with chopped shallots, capers, mustard, and toast points. Steak Tatare, Tenderloin, (Honey Mustard/Demi-Glace), (Peppers & Onions, Mashed Potatoes), Apple & Cinnamon Tart. The Creamy Tiramisu was flaky, very tasty and was so soft it melted in my mouth. It was the best filet I have ever had in Mexico. I really love the butter liked texture that melted in my mouth. My filet was perfectly cooked covered in demi-glace. Sinaloa Shrimp was flavorful and a bit spicy. It is in the top three (3) onion soups I have ever eaten. I ordered two (2) bowels each dinner and was in heaven. The onion soup was very rich, thick, hearty and quite frankly to die for. Grille foie gras was a bit overcooked/slightly burned and has that flavor. Over all I love the dish but the marinade was a bit overdone and overpowered the dish instead of complimenting it. Tuna tartar was cut in large chunks, which I like and was drenched in a sweet and slightly vinegary marinade. Onion Soup, Sinaloa Shrimp, Filet de Mignon, Creamy Tiramisu. Gourmet: L’ Atelier (2), Tuna Tartar, Grilled Foie Gras. Steamed asparagus was perfectly al-dente and not overcooked. It was a burst of flavor in my mouth with each bite. It apparently sat in the kitchen too long between preparation and service. The inside should be cool and the exterior piping hot. The seared tuna tartar was not cooked properly. Orange Cured Beef Carpaccio, Seared Tuna Tartar, Baked catch of the Day, Steamed Asparagus, the beef carpaccio was deeply flavorful and tasty. The steam bath was 200 and it was STEAMY, HOT, and HUMID. A moderately moist dry heat set at around 110 was quite comfortable. I really liked the Wood Lined Turkish Bath. The main pool was coolish but the jacuzzies were heated. Afternoon pool games were fun and entertaining. This is unacceptable at a resort of this class and price point. In each one most if not all of the waterjets were non-functional. There are four (4) separate circular Jacuzzis around the pool. There was a never-ending supply after I requested them. Until I asked there was no Drambui, Disarono, nor Grand Mariner at the pool bar. The Main Pool swim up/dry bar was recently refurbished and rebuilt. Please get rid of and/or replace the filthy, nasty, disgusting pads on the pool loungers. If you speak in anything but hushed whispers you get the evil eye from the other guests. The Quiet Pool is about ¾ the size of the Main Pool and when I say it is the quiet pool, I mean it is a QUIET POOL. The Main Pool is large but comparatively small when considered against other resorts. In each room there is a bottle of the Iberostar Aroma and evaporation sticks that keep the room smelling fantastic. I liked the fact that in the main building you had access to virtually the entire resort without having to go outside. I was annoyed that only sugar free sodas were available. The refrigerator was filled each day with what I told the staff I wanted. My son noticed that since all the walls to the commode and shower were clear with frosted stripes it pretty much only allows one person at a time to use the facilities. The bathroom has a separate jacuzzi tub and shower. That is a serious mistake but uncorrectable now. My only issue is that the ceiling fan is over the seating area and not the beds.

It was nicely appointed and had all the usual amenities you would expect. The room had two beds as I was traveling with my son. I was in Rm 7310 it is located on the first floor and has an obstructed view of the Spa Pool Building. The lobby bar is quaint and the bartenders especially Danial are the best. The décor of the main lobby/check-in is a bit gaudy and over the top. The entry is like all architectural aspects of the resort is beautiful. This was my first time to the Grand an my 35th Iberostar vacation in total. My friends Joe and Patty arrived on Sept 25 for a 12 nighter. It was a first floor 2 bed room in the main building on the Spa Pool side. I vacationed for the first time at the Grand for a 10 nighter from Sept 24 – Oct 4, my son joined me on the 29th.
