TravelPulse: What's new with Velas Resorts?

Denys Montes de Oca: At Velas Resorts, we are committed to constantly reinventing ourselves and strive for the finest quality across the board with our service and value. We are always looking for new experiences, amenities, and services to offer our guests. We remain true to this core value as we have recently refurbished the Grand Class and Ambassador suites at Grand Velas Riviera Maya, adding a more contemporary and luxurious interior design and style.

Another new addition is our AMAT Cafe at Grand Velas Riviera Maya after we saw its popularity among our guests at Grand Velas Los Cabos. The new bar offers a variety of coffees, snacks, pastries, a diverse menu of homemade gelato, and more sweet treats.

At Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit we are in the process of creating an exciting new experience for guests and their children with a brand new Kids Club. Enhanced activities and a redesigned space will debut for festive season 2022.

Additionally, as pickleball has become very popular among our guests' interests, we recently introduced the sport on the courts at Velas Vallarta.

Grand Velas Los Cabos recently introduced two new experiences including a new luxury ocean safari aboard a private yacht with one-on-one marine environment education as well as a new over the top culinary experience featuring a sunset yacht cruise followed by an open flame dinner personally cooked by the hotel's Michelin star chef on the beach.

Also in Cabo, Mar del Cabo debuted Encanto, a new coastal restaurant concept with culinary delights that showcase local and fresh flavors of Baja California complemented by a unique seaside chic ambiance less than 50 yards from the ocean's edge. With sustainability as a core element in the choice of ingredients, over 90% of the ingredients for the restaurant come from nearby fruit and vegetable orchards, ranches, and producers.

Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta will be adding a new dining experience on its terrace, overlooking the boutique hotel's pool area.

TravelPulse: What can you tell us about Casa Velas Los Cabos?

Denys Montes de Oca: Due to recent developments from the owners of the company, the new property will be holding a new brand under the umbrella of Velas Resorts.

This new brand will be developed within the further months to come and will be announced soon.
