Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos! A special thank-you to Brandon Fernandez, our personal concierge, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—he truly made our experience unforgettable. The entire staff was wonderful, the food was incredible, and we have never felt so relaxed. We’ll 100% be coming back to this beautiful property again. (If you’re staying at the Boutique, you also get access to the sister Grand Velas resort, which is family-friendly—best of both worlds!)

This resort is stunning — the architecture, views, and bougainvillea everywhere make it feel so peaceful and special. Everything was spotless, beautifully designed, and smelled amazing. The service was exceptional, especially Berenice, who took such great care of us. The food was outstanding — we asked the chef at Loto to surprise us, and it turned into an unforgettable culinary experience. The spa and its unique welcome ceremony were amazing, and even the gym and conference spaces were top-notch. Every detail was perfect.

From the moment we arrived, Grand Velas Boutique felt more like a private retreat than a resort. Tucked along the Sea of Cortez, the setting is breathtaking — terraces stepping down toward the ocean, lush gardens intermingled with desert landscapes, and architecture that blends seamlessly into its surroundings. ([Velas Resorts][1]) Arrival & First Impressions Upon check‑in we were greeted with warmth that set the tone for the entire week. Concierge service is truly top notch: seamless transfers, welcoming cocktails, and attentive staff who remembered names, preferences, and small details from the very start. The lobby itself is elegant without being pretentious — neutral tones, local Mexican artistic touches, plenty of wood and stone, and a calm, refined energy. The Suite The suite was spectacular. Ours overlooked the Sea of Cortez (one of the rooms with a private terrace, fire pit, and in our case a plunge pool). Indoors, the design balances luxury and comfort — plush bedding, exquisite lighting, local art, and amenities like a high‑end coffee maker, artisanal refreshments, and premium toiletries. The bathrooms deserve special praise: walk‑in showers, well thought‑out fixtures (even a vitamin C filter!), and a layout that feels spacious and spa‑inspired. Every evening the turndown service added another layer of pampering. Food & Dining This may be one of the high points of the stay. Dining at Boutique itself is excellent — menus are creative, fresh, beautifully presented. We especially loved *Loto*, where flavors of Japan meet traditional techniques like robata grilling, and *Del Mar* for seaside charm and fresh seafood. Beyond the property, having full access to the sister Grand Velas Los Cabos’ five gourmet dinner restaurants is a major perk. Every meal felt like it was curated with care, with wine selections that reflect the nearby wine regions. Wellness & Relaxation If you come to Grand Velas to unwind, you will not be disappointed. The spa ‒ “SE Spa” ‒ offers treatments that feel indulgent, sensory, and restorative. We made time for the signature rituals, which combine ocean‑ and desert‑inspired elements, sound therapy, and a serene ambiance that invites you just to let go. The pool areas are equally restful — the infinity pool views are mesmerizing, especially at sunrise or sunset. Down by the private beach there’s space to breathe, to walk, to listen to the waves. Amenities & Extras Every little add‑on mattered. The fitness center is very well equipped. The wine pairings and tasting events felt rarer than many resorts manage. Staff‑to‑guest ratio is generous, so there’s never the feeling of waiting or striving to get attention. The design details — from bougainvillea draping balconies, to the mosaic tiling in the pool that looks like a garden — make the whole place feel elevated. What Made It Memorable * Waking up to gulf breezes, stepping outside to the terrace, having coffee while the light moves across the water. * Delicious dinners under the stars, especially when the lighting, music, and ambiance all came together just right. * The spa days: slow massages, cooling rituals, time just to be. * The seamless blending of privacy and luxury — you feel cocooned, yet never far from choice, activity, or great food. Minor Notes If pressed for something less perfect: because it’s adults‑only, energy is naturally more relaxed than boisterous — nights aren’t clubby, nightlife is modest. Some of the oceanfront can be less ideal for swimming depending on tides (as is common in this region). But honestly, these are small trade‑offs when everything else is done so well. Final Verdict After a full week, I left feeling renewed, pampered, and completely satisfied. Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos isn’t just staying in a beautiful hotel — it’s an immersive experience in luxury, design, food, and calm. For couples looking for romance, for anyone craving rest, beauty, excellent service, and refined indulgence, this is a place to return to, not just to visit once. If you’re considering a week‑long stay here, know that your expectations will likely be exceeded — this is a destination for creating memories, for slowing down, and for luxuriating. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

From start to finish, Grand Velas Boutique was pure perfection. We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary! A big thank you to Vanessa Palomera who has handled all of our family’s bookings at this Velas resort and the Riviera Maya property for the past five years. She makes everything so easy to book, is so responsive, and so sweet. We appreciate her help so much in setting up the perfect vacations whether at the Boutique or at Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Big thank you to our super awesome concierge Itzel Lopez and her lovely helper Mauricio Rosales. They made sure our suite had non-alcoholic wine and stocked our fridge with all of our favorites. She checked on us periodically and made sure everything was perfect including special delivery of a Dyson hair straightener. Beds and linens were so comfortable—like sleeping on clouds. And the bubble bath spa on the balcony was the most relaxing experience of all time. Our first night’s dinner at Loto was kind of like a cross between Nobu and heaven. From the surf and turf skewers, the popcorn shrimp salad—tempura light and crunchy—to the avocado masterpiece (see photo), it honestly could not have been a more spectacular meal. Our server, Yarely, somehow knew we were non-drinkers and directed us to the most amazing mocktails on the menu. Such personalized service. The manager, Josue, also paid us a visit to make sure everything was perfect (which it was). And to top it off, and what made our night, a visit from Executive Chef David Puga who described the inspirations for his spectacular menu. What a way to start our trip!!! Dinners at Frida and Cocina de Autor were similarly perfection. Frida’s tempura soft shell crab tacos can only be described as epic. And Cocina’s mocktail pairings—so super fun and made these non-drinkers feel so welcome!!! Honestly every bite of every dish for our whole stay could not have been more fresh, flavorful, and truly inspired by the local cuisine. All presented like artistic masterpieces. Poolside service, per typical Velas, was over the top. Sunscreen provided. Umbrellas adjusted every hour to make sure we were fully shaded. Insane skirt steak tacos served poolside. And mocktails from the bar, recommended by Daniel, were just splendid. I especially loved the coconut mojito mocktail! Thank you for making our anniversary so memorable. We can’t wait to come back.

My wife and I traveled to Cabo for our four night stay at Grand Velas boutique to celebrate our 40th birthday. Atmosphere: Let me start off by saying the resort is amazing and beautiful!! The resort was kept nice and clean the entire stay! The workers are doing an A+ job on keeping it clean! The resort was about 1/4 capacity so it was quiet for the most part. Was not a need to quickly find a cabana or seat near the pool as there were plenty. It was a little noisy at the lobby area near the end of our stay but it did not bother us. There's construction going on at the entrance. Food/Restaurants: Our first night we ate at LOTO Robata Grill at the boutique. It is their only primary dinner restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious! The other nights we ate at Cocina de Autor, Velas 10 and Lucca at its sister resort Grand Velas next door. They will drive you in a golf cart to the other resort, about a 45 second trip. I am not going to leave a review on those restaurants here because I did a full review on our stay at Grand Velas Los Cabos back in 2024. I will however say that they did not disappoint! The food was delicious at all restaurants! The restaurants are so luxurious that the servers will provide a small bench for your purse/bag if you are carrying one. You cannot go wrong at either restaurant. Servers/Concierge/Housekeeping: We never had to wait a long time for service at either restaurant. They always checked on us to make sure the food was okay and if we needed anything. Housekeeping made sure our suite was stocked up and clean each day. At night, they provided turndown service when you come back to your suite after dinner, which was very nice. Our concierge Vivianna did an amazing job helping us with all our personal needs! She definitely deserved the tip we provided her. Suite: We stayed in a Sunrise King suite on the tenth floor. The room was spacious for just the two of us! On the balcony there was a jacuzzi and a few chairs. The view of the Sea of Cortez and the sunrise mornings were breathtaking! Even from the tenth floor we were able to hear the waves crashing on the beach. I cannot thank the workers for providing us with an amazing stay at Grand Velas Boutique! We hope to come back again at this location or at its sister resort next door. You will fall in love with this resort.....we did!!!!
