Pros & Cons
Armony Marival Resort & Spa Punta de Mita - MGallery collection
Pros
Watsu water therapy and sound healing are included in the daily program — unusual and genuinely valued wellness inclusions at this price tier.
Destiladeras Beach is consistently described as exceptionally clean and less crowded than the main Punta de Mita resort beaches.
The biophilic architecture is distinctive — this property has a specific visual identity that differentiates it from other Riviera Nayarit resorts.
The Saturday Mita Beats pool party and Friday Armony Vibes event give the property a social energy that more spa-focused resorts typically lack.
Cons
Timeshare presentation sales tactics are described across multiple reviews as aggressive and persistent — firmly declining on day one rather than politely entertaining it is the practical advice.
The access road is a poorly signed winding dirt road — GPS navigation to the property at night has caused arrival problems. Get specific written directions from the resort before departure.
Service quality is inconsistent — some staff interactions are excellent, others fall short for a property at this price point.
Room service carries a 10% service charge beyond the all-inclusive — factor this in if you plan to use in-room dining frequently.
Grand Velas Los Cabos
Pros
The only all-inclusive in the world simultaneously holding Forbes Five Stars, AAA Five Diamonds, and a MICHELIN-starred restaurant — a genuine distinction, not a marketing claim
Cocina de Autor's 8-10 course tasting menu with wine pairing is fully included in the all-inclusive rate — at a standalone restaurant this would cost hundreds per person
Every suite starts at 1,081 sq ft with ocean views, private terrace jacuzzi, and 24-hour butler concierge — the entry suite here exceeds most competitors' top categories
Three-tier infinity pools naturally segregate family, activity, and adult-only zones without restricting access — practical design rather than strict policy
Cons
Summary
Grand Velas Los Cabos has a higher guest rating, while Grand Velas Los Cabos has more restaurants, while Grand Velas Los Cabos has more dining venues, while Grand Velas Los Cabos offers more activities.
Beach is not swimmable — Los Cabos Pacific currents make ocean swimming dangerous; the infinity pools are where guests actually swim
Cocina de Autor is restricted to adults and guests 18+ — families with younger children can't access the MICHELIN-starred restaurant during their stay
Rates start around $1,600/night in low season and $1,800+ in peak winter — a significant commitment that requires being genuinely invested in the Five Diamond experience to justify
