This Mexico resort, set a half-hour ride from the convenient-to-the-U.S. Cancun airport, is the first foray outside the Puerto Vallarta region by the Vela brothers, who own the Grand Velas brand. Their hotel in Nuevo Vallarta has been honored with an AAA 5-Diamond Hotel designation. The staff at this Riviera Maya outpost rightfully expect the same laurels this year or next.
This resort has many things going for it, and distinguishes itself even in the competitive Riviera Maya. The place is stunning, with flawlessly tasteful and comfortable rooms. The food is exceptional. The staff is attentive and quiet, with miraculously silent chambermaids.
Couples who really don’t want splashing, screaming youngsters sharing their romantic stage can avoid them by booking and dining at the Grand Class wing.
And because the resort is set along the beach, not perpendicular to it as at most Riviera Maya resorts, its beachfront is long, with both a social section and a quiet section.
The resort’s lush setting, superlative service, and marvelous food promise cherished memories. Couples dreaming of an elegant South of the Border destination wedding, honeymoon, or romantic vacation--and who like the simplicity of all-inclusive pricing—will find their bliss at Grand Velas.
