Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

I will say I am NOT a resort-type traveller, so I was truly skeptical that I would enjoy this trip. But our experience at Grand Velas was exceptional. Luis our concierge managed the rather complicated needs related to our kids each day with complete grace and competence, which really allowed us to relax. The location is beautiful. Room was stunning. Food was excellent. Service was amazing. Highly recommend!

I had the most incredible experience at the GVRN! We had our vow renewal here and the entire hotel and wedding team made our whole experience unforgettable. Gabriela, our wedding planner, exceeded all expectations and brought our dream ceremony to life. The reception dinner was so beautifully designed, it didn’t feel real! She always was willing to help & accommodate us throughout our planning process. We are so grateful to her!

Working in travel, I have been lucky enough to stay at many incredible hotels but this hotel is truly one of the best All inclusive I have stayed at. The hotel is smaller but the quality of service, attention to detail & beautiful decor makes it an international gem. A true 5 star. The kids were so entertained & we got so much relaxing time, in what felt like a health retreat. From organic salads to fresh juices. The English tea that tastes like English tea, the molton brown bathroom products. There is no evening buffet at this hotel, just 4 incredible restaurants & an amazing room service & pool menu. All the food was excellent. A nespesso cafe & world class spa. My kids 10 &13 have never really been into going to kids clubs but they loved the teen club. They play pool with the staff, organized football matches, beach & pool volleyball & cards. They have boogie boards & kayaks you can take out with Carlos at the beach. The evening entertainment was a perfect mix of the best entertainment in the area. This hotel is beyond incredible & highly recommend for literally anyone. Old or young x

Dulce was absolutely exceptional and made our stay at Grand Velas even more special. Traveling with three children ages 3, 7, and 9 can be a lot to coordinate, and her help was truly essential for us to relax and fully enjoy the resort. She organized our itineraries, helped with information, arranged spa appointments and restaurant reservations seamlessly, and was always thoughtful, responsive, and proactive. Her support took so much stress off our shoulders and allowed us to focus on enjoying precious family time. Dulce’s attention to detail and genuine care made a huge difference in our experience. We are so grateful for her kindness and outstanding service.

Wonderful resort Everyone is treated like a VIP here Fantastic staff Concierge handles all the details (reservations, finding information on market times) Top shelf wines (as compared to other resorts) and dining experiences The hotel was not full so no problem with finding chairs or cabanas on the beach or by the pool but the pool staff is so amazing I think even in busier times they would find you a spot Beautiful clean rooms with lovely views We were hard pressed to find anything negative about this resort
