Unbelievable
I got to visit Grand Velas property for a week this September. The property, food and atmosphere was amazing. But the best part was the staff. Everyone single staff person was so nice and accommodating. Specially my concierge Annie. She sent me daily property activities and scheduled transportation to and return for a planned fishing trip. Annie deserves a raise. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Unreal resort for all
I have been fortunate to have stayed in many very nice resorts, in fact we stayed at the longest running 5 star 4 diamond resort in the world in Colorado, this placed topped them all, from the beautiful grounds to the over the top service we felt like royalty! Alexis was our consiarge and was unbelievable, she treated us like we were the only guests on the property, professional and attentive, always one step ahead of us. The staff here without exception are the best we have ever encountered. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate your employees, a family vacation or just a get away for you and yours this is it!
