Jan 18, 2025Memorable stay at Gran Velas. Highly recommend
This resort is lovely. I cannot say enough about the quality of service we received. Upon arrival I was met by Sr. Concierge Jose Reynoso who met up with me every day of my visit to insure my stay was meeting my expectations. You could not walk 30 feet without seeing a staff member cleaning or attending to patron’s needs. The pool bar was well stocked and the drinks were definitely not watered down. Thank you to our bartenders Jose, Jaime and staff, concierge Jorge, as well as the beyond excellent service provided by our pool server Kenia. Every restaurant topped the next. The food was amazing. This region of Mexico has my favorite cuisine and the restaurants at Gran Velas took it to the next level. Frida is elevated Mexican cuisine and may have been my favorite. Our suite was very large with a front ocean view for beautiful sunsets. It was well designed, comfortable, and clean. The shower and tub were large. The lighting was great. The bed was very comfortable. I definitely recommend this resort for a clean, safe, comfortable and most of all memorable stay.

Aqua Sports
Carlos and Cassandra were very helpful and fun from surfing in the morning to beach volleyball in the afternoon. Fun in the Sun while relaxing at a great property! The cabanas on the beach and the beach waiting staff were very friendly and always there to provide you with the best service! For an all inclusive this is a fantastic experience!

We'll be back!
Great, great service all around! The restaurants were excellent with a multitude of choices- even Azul, which is a not a specialty restaurant, but serves more variety than one would even notice without a complete study. The specialty restaurants had excellent gourmet choices, fine wines (expensive, but included in price), and good background music. The events at the beach are fun, including kayaking, volleyball, etc. (Carlo is an excellent host there, and a great guide- a surfer too, good for pointing surfers to good beaches for that). The pools and hot tubs are clean, with very frequent visits by agreeable servers, providing food and drink- never allowing guests to become hungry or thirsty. All around great resort! We never even set foot off the resort, and we will definitely return!!

Unparalleled Service and Warmth at Grand Velas, Nuevo Vallarta
Our stay at Grand Velas was nothing short of extraordinary. While the luxurious facilities and impeccable dining options deserve all the praise, what truly sets this resort apart is the warmth and attentiveness of its staff. Special recognition goes to Chepe, the concierge, who ensured every detail of our stay was perfect; Sebastián, the head of food and beverage, whose expertise and passion elevated every dining experience; and the sommelier, whose recommendations were flawless and added a unique touch to our evenings. This team’s dedication to creating unforgettable memories made our trip truly remarkable. Grand Velas is more than just a resort; it’s a place where you feel genuinely cared for. Highly recommended!

Third Time’s a Charm
Just like our last two visits. Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit delivers pure relaxation from arrival to departure. We’ve stayed in a number of Mexican resorts on both coasts, including other Velas properties, and this one just resonates with us for its serene ambiance, exceptional service and delicious food. Velas offers a gracious check-in with a little bubbly to help guests start to unwind. The rooms are generous, well-appointed and each one one has a Pacific ocean view with a veranda edged with with a lush cascade of flowers. The resort is right-sized with around 300 rooms so it never feels crowded. The grounds are meticulously maintained like a botanical garden with gently winding pathways. Management makes sure that beach and pool loungers are always available for guests. The ocean front Azul buffet has a nice variety of items for breakfast and lunch that are always fresh, well-prepared and very nicely presented. We have found something new and delicious each time we have visited. Small touches and constant maintenance keep the food items fresh and inviting, Each of the four specialty restaurants would be a popular stand alone restaurant anywhere. Each time we have visited we have come away with a different favorite - Sin Lin this year. The service is uniformly attentive but never hurried or intrusive. The beach is clean, level sand perfect for long walks. The surf is relatively calm, warm and swimmable with few rocks and none of the pesky seaweed common on the Atlantic coast. There are two large pools with an adults only area, a couple of hot tubs and a children’s wading pool complete with miniature lounge chairs. One thing that sets this resort apart is the incredible staff who go out of their way to insure a memorable guest experience. We were cheerfully and politely greeted whenever we passed a member. Whether we were at the pool, the beach or any of the dining venues, there was always someone at hand to get a drink, answer a question or perform some other service. They seemed genuinely disappointed if we didn’t need anything. We were surprised that a few even remembered us from past visits and made a point to say “welcome back.” It's really hard to find something to improve but I know management reads these reviews so I'll renew my suggestion to add tasting notes to the included wine list since most of the labels were not familiar so its a little hit and miss choosing a bottle. .
