Paradise at Grand Velas

A June 2005 trip to Puerto Vallarta by djohns57

We had a blast at the Grand Velas Resort/Hotel in Nuevo Vallarta. The waiters brought us our meals poolside, room service was courteous and prompt, and the tour coordinator was the best. Our rooms were incredibly spacious, and the oceanfront views were breathtaking.

Resort Experience:
When we first arrived at the resort, we were greeted by members of the hotel staff giving us a hint of the type of service that we would receive during our stay. The service was first-rate. Room service was prompt and courteous. While basking in the sun at one of the three gorgeous outdoor pools, we were served meals and drinks. We ate at the two five-star restaurants and could not believe that it was included in our package. We felt like we were in an episode of Robin Leach's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." The spa was nice, too. I received the aqua therapy treatment and thought I had died and gone to heaven. We enjoyed the beach. It was kind of private and not very crowded at all.

The hotel itself was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and they had breathtaking oceanfront views. Our two-bedroom unit was around 1,500 square feet, which was much-needed space traveling with three kids. The exercise room was excellent, too. I did not use it, but it must have been good, because my wife went everyday and loved it.

Overall, this was one of the best resorts that we've ever been. The only drawback was that there were not a lot of activities for the kids, but our kids still had a good time.
