Bride and Groom Tips
Grand Velas makes sure that your relaxing stay begins at check-in. Please be sure to enjoy the complimentary welcome massage and cocktail as they prepare your room!
To make your stay extra comfortable, the resort offers a pillow menu that you can choose from. We highly recommend taking advantage of the options available.
Breakfast and lunch at the resort can be found at the Azul restaurant located by the beach. If you prefer to eat in your room, just fill out the menu card that will be available. If there is something in particular you would like from the kitchen that can't be found at Azul, they do have an a la carte menu as well.
Selva Del Mar is open adjacent to the pool for quick snacks and authentic tacos/light fare. If you want your poolside taco fix, this is the place to go.
We recommend making your dinner reservations ahead of time by either speaking with your personal concierge at check-in or using the link below - https://vallarta.grandvelas.com/dining/reservations#reserve-table

Additionally, the resort is located in the state of Jalisco which is famous for its many tequila distilleries. Book a day trip to taste the local spirit directly from the source!
Lastly, the Marietas Islands are quick boat trip away from the resort and offers a beautiful hidden beach and eco tour/snorkeling.
