The spacious suites are divided into three ambiances: the family-friendly Ambassador section which is set around the main infinity pool and beach, and located close to the Kids’ and Teens’ Clubs; the beachfront Grand Class section ideal for families or couples; and the secluded and atmospheric Zen Jungle section which is set back from the beach and surrounded by lush tropical foliage. 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 are available for families.
With eight restaurants and nine 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, 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 resort offers a unique culinary experience to younger foodie travelers aged 12 and above, with two early seatings at Cocina de Autor and beautiful Piaf.
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; and both stay open until 11pm daily.
"A fabulous all-rounder of a resort, Grand Velas is not your average all-inclusive - this is luxury on a grand scale, somewhere that has to be seen to be believed."
"It’s not often that we would recommend an all-inclusive resort as being perfect for foodies, but Grand Velas is an exception - from creative cuisine at the superb Cocina de Autor, to modern French and Asian fusion, dining here is a veritable culinary adventure."
"We have no hesitation in suggesting 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."
