Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

Beautiful resort! Excellent service. Hard working & very pleasant, friendly & professional staff. Everything was kept very clean. We felt very comfortable & safe & hope to come back again!

A beautiful resort with breathtaking sunsets. The staff are very helpful. Luis was amazing. He got everything that we wanted to do booked for us. If you have the chance go make all the memories

This was our 4th time back to the GV in PVR and it was just as amazing as we remembered it to be. Beautiful newly renovated rooms. We had a gorgeous master oceanfront suite and our two older teens had a parlour suite just a few rooms down from ours. Both were stunning and had the best sunset views. Service around the pool was fantastic, Leonel made sure we were never hungry or thirsty. Great to see Carlos at the beach again, lots of fun boogie boarding and playing volleyball. All our dinners were spectacular...hard to pick a favourite restaurant here...the service and food is top notch! A special thank you to Luis, our concierge! Luis, was a great help in securing our beautiful rooms, dinner reservations and any other special requests we had. Can't wait to go back!

We recently stayed at the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit for 5 days in January 2026. The property is located right on a beautiful stretch of beach. The beach is very accessible, and the hotel provides chaises and cabanas if you choose a beach day over a pool day. We had a lovely ocean view room on a high floor that was spacious, well-appointed, quiet, and in excellent condition (I understand there was a recent refresh). But the key point of this review is that the service is nothing short of exceptional. I’ve never experienced such service. Each interaction with the staff felt personal, warm, and genuine. Edna helped to make private airport transfer arrangements that, while not inexpensive, were valuable for peace of mind AND conveniently added to the bill at the end. Extra special shout-outs are absolutely deserved for those who made our stay truly memorable: Gustavo Nieves, the pool concierge, who checked in on us repeatedly to make sure we had everything we needed – his level of attention was just right; Maria Torres, our concierge, who worked her magic to snag us dinner reservations at each of the four restaurants (more on those later); Eduardo, another wonderful pool concierge, always ready with a smile and happy to move our pool umbrella anytime needed; Ricardo and Julio, who took care of us at breakfast, always remembering our beverage orders; Celeso and Marvin at Lucca, whose delightful service and attention created a memorable final dinner on our last night. I wish I had known this before going: be sure to try ALL the restaurants! Each is so different from the other, but they are all incredibly delicious, offering unique menus and a true fine-dining experience. Again, as with every other aspect of this hotel, the service was divine and a true complement to our outstanding meals. Our concierge had to scramble to get reservations that we failed to make in advance, but she always managed. The pool is beautiful and serene. There is an adult section and the jacuzzi is also adult-only. And while there were a number of families with small children, they didn't overwhelm the pool experience. Nothing was crowded - there was no competition for pool chaises and plenty of umbrellas. Pool service was frequent and friendly, and the food and drink offerings were great. I'm already planning my next visit. I'm now ruined for other hotels because they will struggle to complete with our experience at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit. Thank you!

The resort is amazing! The staff is absolutely worth the visit. There wasn't one thing to complain about during our stay. Jose Cantinero at the Pool Bar was the best part of the experience. He is super friendly and made our stay so much better. He was the most memorable employee on the visit. Thank you Jose. We enjoyed visiting with you daily.
