“Grand Velas' attentive all-inclusive”
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is a beautiful uncrowded all-inclusive — recently-renovated large airy rooms with comfortable mattresses, a lovely beach, fantastic restaurants plus a varied buffet and delicious plentiful food, great drinks and poolside service, a first-rate spa, ping-pong extras, and exceptional English-speaking staff who looked after a family with young children and attended poolside guests; one reviewer urges tipping the hard-working team. The sole hesitation: avoid school-holiday weeks for a calmer stay.
