This was our second time staying at a Grand Velas resort—our first being at Riviera Maya—and once again, the experience was outstanding. The Riviera Nayarit location offered everything we expected from Grand Velas: top-notch service, immaculate rooms, excellent food, and a truly beautiful resort atmosphere. The concierge service was attentive, and room service and cleaning staff exceeded expectations. Compared to the Riviera Maya property, there were slightly fewer restaurant options, but the quality of the dining experiences remained very high. The only downside of our trip was the private Suburban round-trip transfer arranged through the resort, which cost $245 USD. The ride from the airport to the resort was excellent—the driver was friendly, professional, and offered the promised drinks. However, the return trip to the airport was a stark contrast. The driver was visibly irritated, swore while handling our luggage, didn’t offer any drinks, and was dismissive when tipped. He even laughed when I handed him a small tip, which was incredibly unprofessional and disappointing, especially considering the premium price paid for the service. Overall, our stay at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit was exceptional, and we would definitely return. Just be cautious when booking private transportation through the resort—it might not always match the resort’s high standards.

Great All-inclusive resort. Top notch service, great food! Second time at a GV. Tried the Riviera Maya prior, and Riviera Nayarit this time. Both great experiences. The resorts are very similar, in the layout of the buildings and the same restaurants. RM is much bigger property compared to RN, but the service and food were top notch at both. The staff at Riviera Nayarit are what makes this resort great. Never waited more than 5 minutes for the pool/beach drink service. And this was Easter week, and the hotel was busy. Same goes for the buffet and other restaurants staff. Will try the one Cabo next.

Beautiful, tasteful and welcoming as soon as we arrived. Greeted with a “welcome neck massage” in the lobby! The staff could not have been nicer throughout our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable and stocked well. The pool and beach were clean and the service was amazing… Gustavo was our favorite…. So friendly and great at his job! Food was very good…. Had such an amazing meal at Frida (Mexican Restaurant) that we went back the next evening! Diego was an amazing waiter! Our concierge, Maria, was very helpful and accessible. Loved the koi ponds! Enjoyed feeding the fish! Overall a perfect vacation. Been wanting to stay at Grand Velas and if met and exceeded expectations! Will definitely return!

Loved our stay at Gand Velas. More expensive then the average all inclusive but was well worth the money. All the staff were super helpful and accommodating from our concierge Luis to the poolside servers Zenon and Lionel. Beds were super comfortable with a large selection of pillows to choose from. Our 5 year old daughter loved going to the kids club for crafts in the morning. And the food was amazing.
