Really good Dining Experience

The food at Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit was absolutely very nice! With AAA five-diamond restaurants, every meal was a delight. We particularly loved the exquisite dishes at Lucca and Piaf. The attention to detail in presentation and flavors was excellent. At Frida, the fresh guacamole made at our table was a highlight. Dining here exceeded my expectations in every way.

Heavenly Spa Experience

I had the pleasure of indulging in an 80-minute therapeutic massage at the Spa SE. It was amazing and left me feeling utterly relaxed. The atmosphere was serene, and my therapist was dedicated to providing an really good experience. I left feeling rejuvenated and refreshed, making the spa a must-visit during my stay.

Fun for the Kids

My kids had a blast at the kids club! They enjoyed every activity, from crafting to feeding fish, and even participated in the daily kids' parties. The staff were so welcoming, and my children made some lovely friends during our stay. It was comforting to know they were not only entertained but well cared for.

Luxurious Room Experience

We stayed in a Grand Class Suite which was splendid! The large terrace offered stunning ocean views, and the room was spacious and elegantly designed. We appreciated the mini bar stocked with various drinks and snacks. The rain shower was heavenly after a long day at the pool. Everything was great.
