Santuario

This place is stunning. I can’t imagine how much it cost to build the structure, but I’ve never seen anything like it. The performers are literally in the middle of the spectators while they’re performing. It was much more crowded on Friday and Saturday compared to the weekdays, so you might want to get there early to get a seat on those days. The service stood out the most to us. We had the best waitress I think that we’ve ever had, Vanesa. I usually keep servers names out of my reviews, but we made sure we sat in her section when she was working. One of the nights she wasn’t working and there was a big difference in getting what we needed and the other waitress was nowhere near as friendly. Hope we’re able to visit there again.

The Santuario is located on the Vidanta Resort and is described as «lavish entertainment where you can enjoy the best show, live music and entertainment while enjoying delicious cocktails, classic drinks and snacks». It is open from 3pm — 1am daily and the evening show starts around 8pm.
The amphitheater has lots of comfortable seating. We only listened to the live music at the beginning of the show and then needed to go pack as it was our last night. The music was just ok and we were hoping the show would get better although we did not get the chance to find out.
Our drinks were good and we ordered guacamole and chips which were delicious. The service was quick. I would have preferred a more extensive appetizer menu… not a lot of choices.
In all, if is a fun family environment and the entertainment is free.

Great place to hang out with the kids or adults only. Plenty of entertainment for all. There were acrobats, musicians, sand artists, & traditional Mexican dancers. Cocktail waitress staff were exceptional, as are all the staff at Grand Mayan Resort.
This was a kid-​friendly show for the whole family.

You can’t argue with free entertainment in this large centrally-​located amphitheater. Just just be prepared to buy drinks if you sit at any of the comfortable tables — not an unreasonable expectation for a free show, in my opinion.
The entertainment itself was not really for me (a telemundo-​style production of various singing, dance, art acts), but I appreciate the effort that is put into the nightly 8pm-​midnight (?) production. Even though it wasn’t for me, the people attending appeared to enjoy it.
Also, be aware that the various acts rotate among the «stages» and will wander the crowd as they perform, so when choosing your table, plan accordingly.

A great night spot for the Grand Luxxe, Grand Bliss guests. Don’t miss it. Great music, great advice and they have a Mixologist in house. Try the Jalisco Dreams cocktail.
