We were very impressed with everything at the Gran Velas! Food was excellent, spacious, clean rooms with ocean view. The spa was AWESOME! After 1 hour hydrotherapy, a massage and facial-I couldn't have felt more relaxed! Both days we spent by the pool we had excellent service by the same waiter, Alfredo. I wouldn't necessarily say I would go back... More

What a beautiful hotel with all the 5-Star amenities you could ask for! I just visited the 2nd week of May and everything was exquisite. From the location right on the white sandy beach in the Nuevo Vallarta area called Riveria Nayarit to the perfect staff service at AZUL, their restaurant next to the beach. Ask for Cesar! The Mahi...

I have never been a bog fan of all-inclusive resorts but traveled to Grand Velas for a week in May 2013. Very nice rooms, food was good, some even excellent and service was very friendly. We went fishing one day and brought some of our catch back to the hotel and asked the chef at the Azul restaurant to cook... More

This is our third time staying here. It is one of the most beautiful resorts we have ever stayed in. The grounds are gorgeous with bougainvilleas everywhere. Rooms are large and beautifully furnished. Service is top notch. Food is the best we have ever found at an all inclusive. The resort is lovely and classy. It's the Mexican and all... More

Went there for 5 days around Christmas 2012 with several families. We had a great time in general. The "signature" restaurants are a must, as your option is the buffet, which, even being very decent as it is, you can get tired of. The French restaurant was very tasty and had the bes service; the Mexican "Gourmet" restaurant has very... More

We just spent our honeymoon - 7 nights and 6 days - at the Grand Velas. We absolutely loved our time there. I have to say though, that if I had read some of the reviews on here before I booked this trip, I may have thought twice about it. I'm so glad I didn't - because we really did... More

We visited with my husband's co-workers as a high-performance reward. We felt pampered and found the food and service to be excellent. The grounds were immaculate and well-maintained. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The pool area was relaxing and never crowded. We had two minor issues - one was that the air-conditioning in our room emitted a musty... More
