539 spacious suites are divided into distinct areas - the family-friendly Ambassador section which is set around the main infinity pool and beach, and located close to the Kids’ and Teens’ Clubs along with the beachfront Grand Class section; and the secluded and atmospheric Zen Jungle section which, as its name suggests, is set back from the beach surrounded by lush tropical foliage and accommodates both couples and families. All accommodation is decorated in a contemporary Mexican style and equipped to a high standard with a flat screen TV, CD/DVD player, complimentary WiFi, whirlpool bath, mini bar and a private terrace or balcony with ocean or jungle views. Many also have a private plunge pool, including all 90 suites in the Grand Class section of the resort, and interconnecting suites which are available for families.
With 8 restaurants and 9 bars to choose from, you could stay a week at Grand Velas without eating dinner at the same place twice. Highlights include the sparkling Piaf that is now open to children aged 12+, decked out with Swarovski crystals and serving sophisticated French cuisine, and the gourmet Mexican menu at family-friendly Frida, which has a lovely ocean view terrace and regular live music. Other options range from pan-Asian to rustic Italian, and drinking venues include the rooftop Sky Bar and even a karaoke bar! The gorgeous Bistro Restaurant is exclusively for adults aged 16+.
All three areas of the resort have their own infinity pool, and there is an impressive array of land and watersports included. Other facilities include two fitness centres, an indulgent jungle spa with no less than 40 treatment suites, and activities including yoga, Zumba, Pilates and Tai Chi. There are also several golf courses nearby. The Grand Velas Kids’ Club for children aged 4-12 yrs offers everything from Xbox and Wii games to storytelling and movie nights, while the Teens’ Club has a pool table, board games, karaoke and a non-alcoholic bar. The Grand Class swimming pool area is also exclusively for adults aged 16+.
Children aged under 16 yrs are not permitted in Bistro restaurant.
A fabulous all-rounder of a resort and a welcome new addition to Caribtours’ Mexico programme, Grand Velas is not your average all-inclusive - this is luxury on a grand scale, somewhere that has to be seen to be believed.
We have no hesitation in recommending Grand Velas if you’re travelling with little ones - the resort even offers a baby concierge service to ensure that you have all the supplies you need, such as bottles, dummies and nappies.
It’s not often that we would suggest an all-inclusive resort as being perfect for foodies, but Grand Velas is an exception - from ambitious molecular cuisine to modern French and Asian fusion, dining here is a veritable culinary adventure.
