Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

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.

Our stay at Grand Velas was amazing. TOP NOTCH. I am very critical about my stays. I have zero complaints. Our personal concierge (Luis) was very helpful and personable. The food was amazing. The room was high end. Drinks were delicious with high end brands. This all inclusive is in a league of its own. Thank you Luis and good job grand Velas management team!

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.
