Jan 17, 2026Excellent resort, but Kids Club needs improvement
We had a wonderful stay, marked by impeccable service, the extreme kindness of the entire staff, spotless cleanliness throughout the hotel, outstanding gastronomy, and an exceptional pool and spa structure. We enjoyed unforgettable days as a family and left with the certainty that this is one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at. However, I would like to share one point that left us quite disappointed, especially because it contrasts with the very high standard of the rest of the hotel: the Kids Club. Although the physical space is very good and well designed, we missed a more active and educational program for the children. During our stay, we noticed that no activities were offered to stimulate learning, creativity, or interaction, such as arts and crafts workshops, cooking classes, cultural activities, or guided games. The staff members generally did not interact with the children, and the space ended up functioning more as a room to watch television than as a true kids’ club. This was frustrating, as we believe that a hotel of Grand Velas’ level could offer a children’s experience as outstanding as the one provided to adults.

Jan 17, 2026Fun resort!
My family along with our friends had a great time staying at Grand Velas! The kids loved it and didnt want to leave. All the staff members provided exceptional service. There was a great variety of food and it was delicious. We stayed in a double bedroom and it was spacious. The resort was clean throughout. I recommend staying at this resort.

Amazing Food and People!
This was my 3rd time at the Grand Velas and there’s a reason why I keep coming back. It is their employees that make this place a true paradise gem. This time, I brought my family for a 3-night stay in January 2026, so they can also experience the beautiful resort. Amazing food, accommodations and even better service from these wonderful humans: Chepe (I always ask for him to be my concierge), Carlos for the outdoor activities, Mariana (bike tour), Celeso and Marvin at Lucca, Francisco and Daniel at Piaf and Francisco at Selva del Mar. Will come back for sure!

The Perfect Antidote For Cold and Snow
This was our fourth time at this luxurious all inclusive resort on beautiful Bandaras Bay. We have enjoyed different resorts on both coasts of Mexico, including other Velas properties, but this one resonates best with us. Why? The staff everywhere is gracious and can’t do enough to insure a pleasant and relaxing stay yet they are never intrusive. There are many long service employees at Velas, which says volumes about the management. The grounds and buildings are impeccably cleaned and maintained. We had a newly redecorated room this year. The food in all four of the themed restaurants is wonderful, the ambiance is “date night” worthy complete with soothing live music. The service is attentive but never rushed. Velas even assigned a personal concierge who checked in with us daily with the day’s events and then stands by to make sure that your stay is enjoyable. The water is warm for swimming, the surf is manageable and the beach is soft level sand perfect for long walks in both directions. Special bonus this visit: a fresh caught tuna expertly carved into luscious sashimi beach side. From arrival to farewell Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has been the perfect antidote for our long and bleak winter.

The Perfect Retreat
We spent 2 glorious weeks at the Grand Velas in early December 2025. We find it is an oasis of peace and tranquility in our busy world. This was our 3rd visit and it continued to provide a very restful break for us. We felt very much at home. The property is very well maintained and cleanliness is consistent throughout. The rooms are so well appointed and so very comfortable. The housekeeping staff make sure everything is just perfect. The food offerings at all the restaurants are truly the best. The specialty restaurants provide distinguished authentic cuisine. Azul’s buffet is exceptional for quality and variety of foods. Special mention to the superb Azul soups at the lunch offering. The entertainment is wonderful and comes in many forms from the afternoon children’s presentation through the evening music on the terrace among others. And the truly outstanding component of the Grand Velas is the staff. Everyone you encounter is friendly, hard working and proudly doing their best to make our stay enjoyable. Theirs is an amazing team of people. We do have to give an extra nod to Luis(our concierge), Dulce, Gustavo & Eduardo(pool concierges), and Francisco (sommelier). We truly hope to return in 2026.
