Last week I had the pleasure of taking a quick and luxurious four-day vacation down to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, which is a resort area just about 15 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport. The area is full of gorgeous hotels and resorts, but I believe where I stayed, the Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort in Nuevo Vallarta, topped them all. This stunning 267-room all-inclusive resort is rated Five Diamonds by AAA and for good reason – the service and the amenities are some of the best I have ever had. Pure luxury and relaxation is guaranteed at Grand Velas.

From the moment you arrive, you know you are in good hands. Fresh hibiscus juice was brought to me, as were my check-in papers, so I could check in while sitting in the lovely open-aired lobby. No trip to the check-in desk required. My bags were wisked away to my room and the friendliest bell boy ever escorted us up to our suite, talking to us the whole time about all of the great amenities we would enjoy here. Once inside the room, I was instantly surprise with the size of it. Two queen beds, and a large sitting area; a massive bathroom with double sinks, enormous Jacuzzi tub and separate shower and toilet quarters; and then a large outdoor patio with a luxurious day bed, overlooking the ocean. The room was much larger than many of my friends’ apartments.

The amenities in-room are also as impressive as its size. There is a pillow menu – yes, that’s right, a menu to order your pillow. There are eight different pillows to choose from, of different material and stiffness, so that you can get the best night sleep possible wile at Grand Velas. There is an iPod dock, a nice flat screen TV, a stocked mini-bar that is refreshed daily, and of course loads of lovely bathroom amenities, from bath salts to tooth brush and tooth paste.

The first thing I did was look out from the patio over the blue ocean and sparkling resort pools below. The second thing I did was look at the room service menu. At Grand Velas the all-inclusive price really does include everything, even unlimited room service delivery from a rather large menu of delicious food. They even have bottle service! Order a big bottle of tequila or maybe a sparkling wine to your room, and the friendly staff will bring it right up.

The food at Grand Velas was unlike any all-inclusive food I have had in my previous experience. Tune in tomorrow, when I will discuss the various restaurants at Grand Velas, as well as the other luxury offerings at this Mexican paradise.
