Expedia has named three Velas Resorts—Casa Velas, Grand Velas Riviera Maya and Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit—among the top-ranked hotels on this year’s Expedia Insiders’ Select list.

The Insiders’ Select list formally recognizes the best hotels worldwide that consistently deliver excellent service, a great overall experience and a notable value. Casa Velas, a boutique adults-only hotel and ocean club located on the Marina Vallarta Golf Course in Puerto Vallarta, and AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit were selected for the second year in a row.

The latest and most sophisticated iteration of the ultra-luxury, all-inclusive resort experience with jungle and beach settings, Grand Velas Riviera Maya received its first selection to the list. All three resorts received an average above 4.

7 stars from travelers, with Grand Velas Riviera Maya maintaining a 5 star rating.

Of the 130,000 hotels and resorts on Expedia, only 500 hotels are deemed Insiders’ Select 2011. Based on travelers’ opinions, value and Expedia Hotel Expert input, Expedia Insiders’ Select includes just the top one percent of all Expedia hotels and resorts.

Velas Resorts in Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit have earned 26 AAA Diamonds, including the prestigious Five Diamond Award.

Other esteemed international awards for their services and facilities are Virtuoso’s “Best Spa,” Conde Nast Johansens’ “Most Excellent Resort,” Conde Nast Traveler’s “Gold List” and the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences’ Five-Star Diamond Award. Casa Velas was also recently chosen a Top 10 in three categories—Luxury, Relaxation/Spa and Hotel for Romance—by TripAdvisor in its 2011 Travelers’ Choice awards.
