Amazing Experience
Los Angeles, California
We loved everything about Grand Velas! My husband and I had such a memorable experience! The staff was super friendly! The food/drinks were top notch! We opted for the Grand Class experience, and it was nothing short of pure luxury. Elisa, our concierge, took care of every request we asked for and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy!
Carlos, the manager, setup a private beachfront dinner for us. We were served an amazing seafood platter with Lobster, oysters, prawns, etc! He made sure to match a wine that was guaranteed to compliment our dinner! We were blown away at the service he provided.
We can’t wait to come back!!

5-star All Inclusive Experience
Grand Velas is the nicest All-Inclusive Resort i have ever seen. They are extremely service oriented. They bring around appetizers, sushi, and mixed drinks on the beach! The restaurants are top notch with top shelf alcohol. My room was very large and had a fabulous view of the beach. My plunge pool was an incredible touch. I had such an amazing experience with awesome activities, incredible food, unbeatable service and top notch spa. The spa was the greatest experience ever. The water treatment area is so fun!

Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Best vacation ever! If you want to experience the best that Mexico has to offer, then visit Grand Velas Riviera Maya. The resort is completely enclosed and safe. It’s a good size resorts but not too big. Everything is pretty close. The kids club was amazing! The staff was professional and very attentive to the children. They take extremely good care of all the children. There were so many activities from shows at night, painting for the kids, cooking classes, water sports, beach volleyball, yoga, and on and on. The food was next level! It was absolutely delicious and the highest quality. As if that wasn’t enough, the staff gave us the best service and attention to detail. But that’s Mexico. Mexicans are polite, caring, and so very hospitable. The pool was absolutely beautiful with great service. The kids even had popsicles in the pool and could use the swim up bar to order whatever they wanted. Good job Grand Velas. Hasta pronto!

Only the best!
We stayed a little over a week in this hotel, and enjoyed every minute. The hotel offers all-inclusive like no other. Drinks and snacks are served by the pool all day, and you can have dinner at 8 different restaurants, offering everything from Italian food, to Mexican cuisine. Service is impeccable, from check-in to check-out. The hotel is perfectly located on the riviera maya, between Cancun and Tulum (approximately 1 hr each way). We really enjoyed the atmosphere, luxurious and grand, but at the same time personal and down-to-earth. If you´re looking for comfort and luxury, good dining and an all-inclusive experience that exceeds any expectations - this is it. Another thing that really makes a difference, is the job they did with keeping the beach clean from sea-weed. Rooms are large, very comfortable and clean. They are spartanly decorated and furnished, and smaller than stated on the hotel´s web-page, but this was not an issue for us. Seating area in the room could also be improved, with enough seating for all the guests. The same goes for towels, slippers, etc. This was of-course quickly provided for when asked for. The hotels offers a spa, teens club, gym, and many more amenities. The service at hotel is just fantastic. Everybody really makes you feel welcome and appreciated. This goes for everyone we encountered; Santiago (our concierge), the waiters in the restaurants and by the pool, Alex and the rest of the guys on the beach, etc.
This blissful resort spa transports you to a world of well-being through a revolutionary hydrotherapy circuit including a clay room, ice room and experience pool.
