We came to Grand Velas seven years ago and after our first visit, we contracted for fractional membership! My husband and I and our adult children and grandchildren want to go nowhere else. You will not believe how beautiful , clean, exciting this hotel is! The food is spectacular, there are no worries about the long ago fear of eating and drinking water across the border! Everything is filtered and bottled water served everyday.Food is fresh daily and so many choices!!

There are three gourmet restaurants to choose from, a pool side restaurant and Pool Bar as well as Azul the beach and pool side restaurant which is available for breakfast , lunch and dinner! We find the food to be exquisitely served and very fine. Some very top chefs are there to provide excellent dishes and beautiful deserts along with hand made chocolates!! ( often found in your room when you are retiring fro the day).

We cannot say enough about the people who work at Grand Velas. This is a very important factor which cannot be overlooked. They cannot do enough to please you and they do! They work very hard and it shows. If you stay long enough and get to know them, they are an extension of your family.

We will always go there for our restful and yet fun vacations. The Spa is excellent and availble for facials, massages and treatments everyday. The sun always shines, it is hot but not humid. There is always a cool breeze. There is something to do for children of every age , from Kids Club to the spectacular Teen Club for the older children.

My grandchildren ages 8,10 and 12 were up on surfboards the first day with the excellent instructions (for a fee). They then rented surf boards the entire stay. Boogie Boards are complementary, as are kayaking boats. There is beach and pool volley ball and soccer every day as well as special events during the evenings.

Most all rooms overlook the pools and ocean which offer a spectacular views. The rooms are very spacious , inviting and cleaned twice a day. There are individual concierge service for the rooms. Someone there to handle your special wishes and provide you with reservations and or information.

The sunsets are just perfect every evening which always adds to a splendid ending of a perfect day!
