01 · In a sentence

Grand Velas in B.C.S., open MayOctober.

Grand Velas sits on the Baja California coastline where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, offering sweeping water views and desert-meets-ocean terrain.

This all-inclusive resort features modern architecture with open-air venues overlooking the turquoise waters, creating a dramatic natural backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

The property spans 60 acres of manicured grounds and private beach access, positioning it as one of Los Cabos' most substantial luxury wedding destinations.

This resort is extraordinary. The staff is amazing from first contact at the front desk, to housekeeping, pool staff, restaurants and on the beach. We spent 6 nights at the resort and we loved spending the days by the pool enjoying poolside service. The buffet was something amazing! The staff was so attentive that they would carry my food from the buffet to my table when they noticed me walking towards them. While we loved all of the restaurants the Japanese was our favorite. The duck, lamb and tuna were something to write home about. This was definately a luxury resort with clean, sound proof rooms, beautiful views and well trained staff.
