The service, food and pool/beach areas were exceptional. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food at each a La cart restaurant was delicious. We loved how the Mexican restaurant on site made table side margarita and guacamole. The Michelin star restaurant was a great experience and all of these restaurants were included in the cost. Even the buffet had good food. The resort was right on the beach which was cleaned and raked everyday. The property had serval infinity pools that were gorgeous. We left talking about when we can plan to come back again.

We stayed here last week and had an amazing time celebrating my daughter’s 17th bday and our 20th anniversary. I travel a lot and never had that kind of attention… Starting from the time of booking to our return back home. Level of service is 2nd to none. It will hurt your wallet but totally worth it! Thank you to our concierge Cesar who ensured we wanted for nothing.

This is a unique place. You really have to be a picky traveler to not like Grand Velas or to find something not up to standards. And if there is something (because things happen), I assure you they will do everything in their power to get it fix ASAP. As a family, we love this resort and can't wait to go back.

It is an excellent hotel with a lot of potential but one huge shortcoming - food poisoning! The service provided by the hotel staff is exceptional and so are the hotel facilities. Our concierge, Itzel, was fantastic. My girls enjoyed the Kids Club. The beach, with many rocks, takes points away since it makes it difficult to enjoy the beach - it makes it not swimmable. The breakfast at the Azul restaurant is very enjoyable, and I want to give special mention to Omar, who was great. Dinner at the various restaurants were seemingly amazing, until you end up with food poisoning. Alcolhol included some top shelf selections. One day, we had lunch at the adults-only Bistro restaurant and ordered a green ceviche and an octopus dish. That night I spent the night in the toilet vomiting and with diarrhea. In the morning I felt horrible all day, with no energy or will to do much. My husband had a bit of a delayed start, but by the afternoon he was feeling uneasy, and later that night he spent his share of time at the toilet with diarrhea. The hotel offered us a consult with the hotel doctor at a cost. While they ended up not charging us for the doctor’s visit after my husband reasoned with them, I’m still disappointed that they even try to charge us for it and at the reaction that staff at the hotel vacation club office had, who try to minimize and ridicule our situation as a “stomach upset”. I also noticed there is another guest who also experienced food poisoning a month ago.

Cons: Transportation was not arranged for ahead of time. Should have been offered at the time of purchase. Ant infestation in our room. Staff did treat the room, but still unpleasant considering the price paid for the resort. Pros: Food was clearly better than the average all-inclusive. Restaurants were above average. Alcolhol included some top shelf selections. Kids club was excellent; good activites for toddlers and teens. Attentive staff.
