We are a big fan of the Velas brand and had another great stay. The resort made us feel extra special by celebrating not only a birthday but also a wedding anniversary on 2 separate occasions.

Great resort for families

We took a family trip to Grand Velas and it was great. The service was impeccable and the dinner options were fantastic for an all-inclusive. The restaurants felt like fine-dining but also managed to make us feel comfortable being there with our kids. We also really loved the nightly entertainment (just 45 mins, so an easy commitment) and the kids loved the daily kids club show - especially when they brought in the parrots. This trip was definitely a family highlight!

We loved this resort. The staff was super helpful and attentive, the hotel was clean and great for our family of three older teenagers l. We loved the all inclusive. Airport at Puerta Vallarta was very hectic when we arrived not sure if that was a one off or is always that way. Departing was very smooth though.

The Grand Velas was the perfect place for our group of 8 couples to relax and enjoy. The service is outstanding - from the pool/beach attendants to the restaurants, which accommodated as many as 16 of us each night! This was my 2nd visit to the Grand Velas and will not be my last!

Spring Break

We had a wonderful time at Grand Velas from the greeting at our arrival until the time we checked out. The room, activities, staff, shows and food were perfect for our family of 5 to spend days relaxing in the sun. My 12 year old enjoyed the additional activities set up for Easter Break like the bungee trampoline and attending the shows each night. My 15 and 17 year old daughters enjoyed the ease and quick service of eating at the buffet, the lounge service at the pool and the beautiful sunsets. We all enjoyed daily beach volleyball and the availability of boogie boards and surf boards. My husband and I enjoyed an amazing couples massage in the spa, the space afforded with adjoining suites, the quality of food in every restaurant, and the variety of options for sun or shade around the pools. We had amazing views of the property from both balconies and were able to enjoy the mariachi band from our balcony on Thursday night. Would 100% recommend this resort.
