The hospitality of the Grand Velas staff truly surprised me – everyone was so genuinely kind, caring, and helpful. I have to give a major shout-out to Luis, our concierge. He was phenomenal, handling every detail effortlessly. He even booked restaurants with the best views before we even thought to ask, managed all our last-minute changes, and ensured our airport transportation was perfectly set. For anyone traveling to Mexico, if you have the opportunity, staying at Grand Velas is an absolute must; it's undeniably the best all-inclusive resort.

They tried to charge us an extra $1000 at checkout, delaying our arrival at the airport by an hour, claiming we owed them the extra money since our daughter was 16 (adult rate) even though she was entered as 16 on our initial reservation.

The hotel provides excellent conceiage service and food from all restaurants are great. However this is a smaller and more dated hotel compare to the one by the east coast Cancun area.

The best part about this resort is the service. From Ricardo for breakfast at Azul, to Francisco at the pool and Piaf’s Francisco we always felt taken care of.
