  Grand Velas - as good as it gets!!

  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!!

  Our home away from home

  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.

  Perfect. peaceful vacation

  We are a family of 3 (15 yr old, and 2 adults), and also another adult traveler. the family of three booked a Master Parlor and an attached Parlor Plus. the rooms were phenomenal. Best hotel rooms I have ever stayed in. Huge, comfortable, clean. The property is gorgeous, but in a way, simple and small. This isn't a large expansive property, you have the hotel, the restaurants and the pool and beach. So the pool is glorious - very large and clean. Mostly adults in the infinity section. Service at the pool is beyond excellent: Eduardo, Gustavo, Patricia to name a few of the folks that were so kind, attentive, professional. Cocktails are great - not the sometimes cloying frozen drinks at some properties. Azul is the beachfront buffet. breakfast and lunch were so delicious. I had my daily chilaquiles. And warm tacos with some many different toppings. Special and authentic stews daily, or asian food (sushi, sweet and sour pork), and there is also an a la Carte menu too, but we didn't get any thing from there. Selva Del Mar , small pool side restaurant had a lovely menu that you could order from your lounger also. highly recommend the combo of the spicy tuna tartare and the organic salad with citrus vinaigrette were a fabulous combo, as the tuna was indeed spicy. BTW - no issues, ever, getting the loungers we wanted. We grabbed them when we got to breakfast each morning - the best ones (we thought!) were on the south side, right in front of the beautiful ocean - which was free of seaweed, warm, rolling waves, fun for boogie boarding. We loved our dinners at Sen Lin the most - perfect crispy spring rolls, dumplings, curry shrimp. Service was super fun there. Next we liked Lucca - the eggplant appetizer was fabulous and I had it the next visit for dinner. Piaf was good - service was delightful. And Frida was just ok in my books. our concierge Dulce was really lovely and charming, and always there to help us. My daughter and I enjoyed the spa very very much, it was a real treat. I am not a usual spa person, so it was all new to me. We had the aromatherapy massage. Really awesome. At night, we watched FIFA games, enjoyed some music on the half moon patio. And drinks in the Koi bar. It was the low season in Mexico, but I think the hotel was below occupancy so it seemed very sleepy. That was just fine but I wouldn't have minded a little more liveliness. Would ALSO love a beach front bar open at night - the only bar open at night is Koi bar. But the bartenders were amazing and fun, so were the wait staff. I regret taking too long to write this other wise I would name them - I *think* we had David and Imelda who were our buddies at Koi. In summary, I would recommend this place for a nice, quiet vacation where everyone looks after you with care and professionalism.

  Great experience at Grand Velas Nayarit.

  We had a great time at this hotel. It was hot in July. The weather forecasts were not as terrible in real life. We had plenty of sun and pool time. pool is better in AM as it’s a tad cooler. like bath water in the afternoon. Sen Lin was the best restaurant in our opinion. Shout out to our waiter Allen and Francisco at Piaf who were awesome! Emiliano, the Omelette chef was AMAZING at Azul. We didn’t do any excursions but enjoyed things like Painting, and Mixology (Shout out to David, our bartender who was great!) as well as water aerobics, yoga and beach volleyball (Shout out to the aerobics teams and Carlos for volleyball) The spa was divine. At the pool Gilberto and Gabriel treated us great!!! All the staff did. We stayed in a Family suite (was perfect for 5 (Parents and 3 adult children) Hasn’t been renovated like the others. Our concierge was very nice but didn’t get activity schedules until after some activities already started. Should get it day before especially for those we need to sign up for. Would recommend for a great relaxing vacation!
