The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Culinary Experience

Dining at the Grand Velas was nothing short of lovely. Each restaurant offered a unique experience, with dishes that rivaled those found in high-end dining establishments. My favorite was Frida, where the service was perfect and the food was a good blend of flavors that catered to every taste bud. From gourmet breakfasts at Azul to exquisite dinners at Piaf, each meal was a feast for the senses!

A Spa Oasis

The SE Spa at Grand Velas was an lovely experience. The hydrotherapy circuit is a must-try; it transformed my perception of spa treatments. I indulged in a massage that was heavenly, leaving me completely rejuvenated. The serene atmosphere and attentive care offered by the staff were truly amazing. Don't miss the water ceremony before your treatment-it enhances the overall experience!

Great Fitness Facilities

The gym at Grand Velas is one of the best I've experienced in a resort. Equipped with modern machinery and free weights, I was able to maintain my fitness routine during my stay. The fitness classes were well-run, tailored to my level, and made working out enjoyable. Every detail was considered, ensuring a comfortable and fulfilling workout environment.

Spacious and Luxurious

I was blown away by the size and luxury of the room at Grand Velas. With around 1000 square feet, the standard room felt more like a suite. The decor was elegant, featuring high-end amenities that made the stay even more comfortable. I particularly loved the nightly turndown service, which added a lovely touch to the overall experience.

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.
