LUXURY RESORT REVIEWS: 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 - CUSTOMS LINES ARE THINNER, WAIT TIMES ARE PRETTY LOW, AND I ONLY PATRONIZE 4 + 5 DIAMOND PROPERTIES, SO THE "CROWD" DOESN'T EXIST IN GENERAL.  THEREFORE, MY STANDARD IS PRETTY HIGH FOR WHAT I DEEM IMPRESSIVE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE AREN'T MANY PLACES THAT MAKE ME CLUTCH MY INVISIBLE PEARLS AT THE SHEER BEAUTY OF A RESORT- 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. BELOW IS MY ACTUAL VIEW FROM THE BALCONY-- STUNNING; UNBELIEVEABLY SO. 

IT PROVIDED THE MOST INCREDIBLE REVERB OF THE OCEAN THAT PERMEATED THE ROOM.  THE SOUND WAS SO ALLURING WHEN I RETURNED TO THE STATES I PURCHASED A OCEANS SOUNDS APP THAT ALLOWED ME TO FIND THE EXACT SOUND OF THE SEA OF CORTEZ!

WITH THE ROOM MEASUING 1,949 SQ. FT THERE WAS AMPLE SPACE TO DINE, SLEEP, DRESS, AND LOUNGE WITHOUT FEELING CROWDED. EVERY DETAIL EXQUISITELY APPOINTED.

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!

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.
