    Unmatched Family Luxury

    My family and I had an extraordinary stay at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit. The resort offers impeccable service, spacious and beautifully appointed suites, and a stunning beachfront setting. Our kids loved the Kids' Club, and we found the amenities to be top-notch, making it an unforgettable family vacation.

    Great experience

    we just stayed at this resort location for the 2nd time. We had stayed previously at the grand velas in Playa Del Carmen, even that resort is just as beautiful, it is more spread out. We love that at this location there is only one building and everything is easily accessible. We enjoyed the resort grounds, the delicious food throughout the resort, and the friendliness of the staff. Just an FYI, the deserts are super delicious . 
When we choose an all inclusive resort, the food is very important to us and at the grand velas the food has been very delicious. There is options for everyone. I would like to highlight a few of staff members who just made our stay a little more enjoyable. We were very fortunate to have Dulce our concierge attend to us again. I got in touch with her before our arrival and she made sure all our needs will be met as we arrive. When she found out that it was my son’s birthday, she decorated his him with balloons, a happy birthday banner, a cake, confetti on the table and a personalized card. That was such a nice and appropriated surprise. We had her as our concierge also last time and we were very happy with her already then. She truly made our stay special. She took care of all our restaurant reservations and anything we needed at all times. Dulce is simply the best. Carlos by the beach activities has also been an amazing person at the resort, he is always greeting us with his friendly smile and personality and thought my son how to surf and took him out to the ocean on the boogie boards that the resort provides. Spider the magician is absolutely amazing. He roams the restaurants in the evening and entertains guests with his great card tricks. Gustavo by the pool has been very attentive as well and always making sure we are well taken care of with drinks and food, even with food that was not on the menu. A little tip, if you have any food restrictions, talk to your concierge and the chef and they will take good care of you.

    Excellent resort.

    Everything about our trip was amazing. Getting off the bus we fell into paradise. Food was amazing at all restaurants. Wait staff was most friendly. Rooms spacious and spotless. Luis Mateo was the sweetest most amazing host we have ever had. He went out of his way to accommodate us. Made our reservations at the restaurants and checked to see how we liked them. Sweetest man ever. Can’t wait to go back and relax with this resort. Many thanks to all for making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you again Mr. Luis Mateo. Sending our love from East Texas.

    Memorable 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!
