Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit occupies beachfront grounds on Avenida Cocoteros in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, about 20 minutes from Puerto Vallarta's airport. The resort's tiered, jungle-facing architecture wraps around lagoon-style pools, giving it a lush, all-suite character distinct from Nuevo Vallarta's tower-style hotels. All accommodations are suites, from the Ambassador category up through the Grand Class, Master, and Wellness Suites, each with a private terrace or balcony. The all-inclusive plan covers nine restaurants, including a teppanyaki venue and a fine-dining concept helmed by rotating guest chefs, along with 24-hour room service. The SE Spa is a signature draw, offering multi-sensory treatments across several floors, complemented by multiple pools, swim-up suites, and a kids club. Service is oriented toward a high-end all-inclusive experience, with butler-style attention in the higher suite categories, making the property popular with couples, wellness travelers, and families alike.
