GRAND VELAS - LOS CABOS

GRAND VELAS - LOS CABOS

 

 

WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE WHERE THE ENTIRE STAFF SEEMED TO BE ON-CALL EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU? 

I TRAVEL MOST OFTEN IN LOW SEASON - THEREFORE LINES ARE THINNER AND I ONLY GO 4 OR 5 DIAMOND SO THE "CROWD" DOESN'T EXIST IN GENERAL. THERE AREN'T MANY PLACES THAT MAKE ME CLUTCH MY INVISIBLE PEARLS AT THE SHEER BEAUTY OF A PLACE - GRAND VELAS IS ONE OF THOSE MAGICAL PLACES.

UPON MY ARRIVAL, I WAS ESCORTED BY A CHECK-IN CONCIERGE TO A TABLE IN THE LOBBY WHERE I WAS SERVED A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE WITH RASPBERRY CAVIAR AND HOT TOWELS TO REFRESH MY HANDS. MY EARLY ARRIVAL WAS GREETED EAGERLY BY THE STAFF AND MY BAGS WERE WHISKED AWAY UNTIL MY ROOM WAS READY.  

BECAUSE I WAS FEELING EXTRA GENEROUS TO MYSELF I DECIDED TO UPGRADE MY ROOM AND ASKED FOR A TOUR OF ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS THAT I MIGHT LIKE. THE DECISION WAS AN EASY ONE - I STAYED IN THE GRAND CLASS CORNER SUITE WHICH PROVIDED THE MOST EXPANSIVE 240 DEGREE VIEWS OF THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN.  IT PROVIDED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF THE OCEAN THAT PERMEATED THE ROOM.  THE SOUND WAS SO ALLURING WHEN I RETURNED TO THE STATES I PURCHASED A SOUND MACHINE APP THAT ALLOWED ME TO FIND THAT EXACT OCEAN'S SOUND! AMPLE SPRAWLING SPACE FOR ME TO LOUNGE AROUND IN LUXURY WAS EXQUISITELY APPOINTED.

THIS SUITE FEATURES 1,949 SQ. FT OF SPACE TO DINE, SLEEP, DRESS, AND LOUNGE WITHOUT FEELING CROWDED. TRAVERTINE FLOORS A HUGE JACUZZI TUB, A LARGE WALK-IN CLOSET WITH SAFE – IT WAS TRULY A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

OF COURSE THE SPA WAS IMPECCABLE, ALONG WITH THE PRIVATE TEQUILA TASTING WHERE I WAS THE ONLY GUEST TO SIGN UP! I HAD THE THE PLEASURE OF ATTENDING A SHOPING TRIP TO A SILVER FACTOR AND AGAVE DISTILLERY.

I COMMISSIONED 4 CUSTOM RINGS TO BE CREATED FOR SPOT DELIVERY WHICH WAS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE. AND SINCE I HAD TO STAY BEHIND TO WAIT FOR MY GEMS TO BE SET MY SALES AGENT WAS KIND ENOUGH TO BRING 24K GOLD TEQUILA OVER TO THE SHOP SO I COULD ENJOY BOTH.

ALL IN ALL, I LEFT HAPPY AND A TAD BIT TIPSY.
WHILE THIS RESORT MAY NOT HAVE AN ENDLESS LIST OF ACTIVITIES LIKE SOME, THE DIFFERENCE MAKER IS THE QUALITY THAT EXTENDS FROM THE TIME YOU ARRIVE UNTIL YOU LEAVE.

THIS IS WHY GRAND VELAS IS MY TOP CHOICE IN MEXICO -THUS FAR.
