This hotel offered an exceptional experience with spacious, well-appointed rooms and stunning ocean views. The service was amazing, truly setting a high standard for hospitality.

This resort is nothing short of amazing! The luxury and cleanliness are top-notch, and the staff really goes above and beyond to make your stay special. The variety of dining options is impressive, and the atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil.

Staying at Grand Velas was an unforgettable experience. The resort is nestled in a beautiful jungle setting, providing a tranquil atmosphere that's hard to beat. The staff treats you like family, always ready with a smile and attentive service. The dining options are top-notch, but there were times when booking dinner felt a bit rushed. The luxurious rooms are spacious and outfitted beautifully, making for a comfortable stay. A downside was the occasional road noise that disrupted the peaceful ambiance. Overall, the value for money is exceptional, making it a top choice for families.
