1. All-inclusive resorts have a reputation, and Grand Velas is here to mess with it. This Forbes Four Star property sits on Banderas Bay about 25 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, with spacious suites, a serious full-service spa, and multiple restaurants that actually hold awards. The gardens are lush, the design feels genuinely Mexican rather than generic tropical, and the crowd arrives expecting a pool bar and leaves quietly impressed.
