The Best All-Inclusive Family Resort We’ve Ever Experienced! Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is truly in a league of its own. We’ve stayed at all-inclusive resorts before, but this was hands-down the best all-inclusive experience we’ve ever had as a family. From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious, thoughtful, effortless, and incredibly personal, and the rooms were beautiful, overlooking the pool and beach! There were lots to do for kids, and the shows each night were so fun! One of the biggest standouts was the 1:1 concierge service. Everyone was SO nice! Maria, our personal concierge, was absolutely exceptional and went above and beyond in ways we will never forget. At turndown service, we received these amazing dulce de leche cookie treats that our family fell in love with. When Maria found out how much we loved them, she actually went to a local store and bought more for our family to take home. There are truly no words for that level of kindness and hospitality. The resort itself is gorgeous. The infinity pools overlooking the beach are incredible, and we loved how walkable and thoughtfully designed the entire property is. This might sound like a small thing until you’re traveling with kids, but if you forget something in your room, it is convenient and close while still feeling spacious and luxurious. And the FOOD! Absolutely outstanding, it was genuinely top-notch food, period. We ate incredibly well everywhere: at the buffet, room service, by the pool, and at the specialty restaurants. The quality and consistency across the entire resort were impressive. What really makes Grand Velas special, though, is the attention to detail. It feels like they have thought about every little thing that could make traveling with a family easier, more relaxing, and more special. The service is warm and genuine, the property is beautiful, the food is exceptional, and the experience feels truly luxurious without ever feeling stuffy. We left feeling incredibly grateful, and already wishing we could go back. If you’re looking for an unforgettable luxury all-inclusive, especially with kids and family, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is it. And Maria, if you see this: thank you!

There are very few places in the world that make you feel as though you are returning home, and this resort is one of them. Year after year, it continues to exceed our expectations and remains our favorite destination in Mexico. From the moment we arrive, we are welcomed with genuine warmth, impeccable service, and an atmosphere of effortless luxury. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the beautifully maintained grounds to the exceptional dining experiences. The food is consistently outstanding, offering world-class cuisine that rivals some of the finest restaurants anywhere. What truly sets this resort apart is its extraordinary staff. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail create an experience that is both personalized and unforgettable. A very special thank you to Luis Mateo, our personal concierge, who went above and beyond for our family every single day. His dedication, attentiveness, and commitment to ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect made all the difference. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made us feel genuinely valued and cared for throughout our vacation. This resort has become much more than a vacation destination for us—it is our home away from home. The combination of unparalleled hospitality, exceptional service, exquisite cuisine, and a team that consistently delivers excellence is what keeps us coming back year after year. We cannot recommend it highly enough and are already counting the days until our next visit.

This is our 7th time going to Grand Velas and it continues to deliver every time! The rooms have been completely renovated and they beautiful. Luis Mateo knocked it out of the park as usual. He handled all our requests with ease and trust me - we had a lot as we were a group of 16. Dinner reservations, transportation, room accommodations, and even a last-minute dance party complete with a DJ and dessert bar in a private room for my wife’s birthday! Oh - and he completely deck’d out our room with roses and a massive balloon display! Incredible. Francisco’s wine program is top notch! Gilberto at the pool - 10/10. Eduardo who manages the pool & beach never disappoints! Ricardo in Azul - Rock Star!! Alan at Sen Lin and Piaf - awesome! Do yourself a favor and go - but don’t spread the word too much…we want to keep this place a hidden gem!!

We just returned home from our 4th stay at Grand Velas in PVR and we can’t wait to go back. This was our first time coming during the summer and the Summerland they had set up for the kids was the highlight. My 4 and 6 year old had the time of their lives. They went on the zip line, the trampoline, and the water slide a million times. They also cried everytime we picked them up from the kids club because they did not want to leave. Our concierge, Luis, has become like family. Not only is he professional, he handles our every need before we even know we need it. I’m sure the other concierges are amazing too, but I recommend requesting Luis for above and beyond care. Edwardo, our pool concierge, is also wonderful. No matter how busy the pool is, he makes sure we had the perfect seats by the pool and he’s always smiling and laughing. Last but not least, it was nice to see Nino at the breakfast buffet. He was always our favorite pool server. Thank you Grand Velas for another magical vacation… and we will see you again soon.

I stayed at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit for two nights and only have wonderful things to say about the property. The staff is absolutely fantastic -- always friendly, well-trained, quick, and ready to help with anything. Everyone gets a "personal concierge" who was a real time-saver for dinner reservations, spa appointments, and general questions. The spa is clean and the treatments I had (massage, facial, and hydrotherapy circuit) were wonderful, but the hydrotherapy pool area is showing its age just a bit. Because this is the oldest Grand Velas property, I was expecting it to feel a bit run down, but it did not show its age at all. The gym is especially modern.
My suite was "resort view" but I could clearly see the ocean beyond the pool without having to crane my neck or unpack the binoculars. It is most definitely a family-friendly resort, but the adults-only areas are separate and quite relaxing. Pool and beach service are top-notch. Food quality was very good, especially the Mexican restaurant and pool/beach options. The breakfast buffet could be a bit more exciting, but I'm not a fan of buffets... if you just want an omelet, opt for room service, which is lovely. I highly recommend this resort, especially for families, but couples and singles will also love it. It's worth the price and it is a real 5-star luxury property.

Just wanted to let your staff know that after 6 nights at the Grand Velas we didn't want to leave. The staff was very attentive and the food in all three restaurants was delicious. Our room was very contemporary with a Mexican feel. We were able to lie in bed and see the ocean. I would highly recommend it and have already.
