Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

Designed by the renowned architecture firm Elias & Elias, all of the 267 rooms and suites have ocean views, and most are large enough to accommodate a family of six. Hi-speed Internet access and cable TV with video consoles keep both business travelers and children satisfied. Spa massages are available in-room, but must be booked in advance.

Room service is available 24 hours, and four world-class restaurants offer many options. Azul offers oceanfront dining and an international menu of Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and Mexican cuisines, along with a special spa menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Featured items include seasonal tropical fruits and frappe drinks for breakfast, (try the Nayarit citrus blend, to get a taste of locally grown fruits) grilled chicken breast stuffed with mushroom and sage, and mahi mahi served on a bed of lentils for either lunch or dinner. Hot and cold soups, salads and fresh fruit sorbets all change according to season and availability of local produce. Lucca, another restaurant option, features gourmet Italian-Mediterranean, with menu options like herb-crusted rack of lamb and marinated red snapper. Main courses include pan-fried seafood, roasted Italian zucchini, and scaloppine di vitello al marsala.

Additional options include Frida, a fine dining Mexican restaurant, and Piaf, a traditional French restaurant with gourmet entrees such as grilled duck breast with pineapple sauce. Portion-controlled spa cuisine is offered in the restaurants and in-suite dining.
