Velas Resorts Press Room

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (February 23, 2021) - Mexico's Velas Resorts is showing appreciation for healthcare workers by rolling out a new "Let's Be Thankful" campaign. The goal for the promotion is to give at least 100 free stays to those who have fought tirelessly against the coronavirus pandemic. 

The resort collection, with properties in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, and Puerto Vallarta, will offer a special promotion to help individuals say thanks to members of the healthcare community just by booking a reservation. For every 5-night stay reserved by April 30th, Velas Resorts will put one night in the prize pot for stays for healthcare workers. Nights can also be donated directly to the pool and will be matched by Velas Resorts. The prize pot will be divided up into 3-night stays for two healthcare heroes to receive a much-deserved vacation at Velas Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta. Starting on Tuesday, March 9th, individuals can enter their nominee in the social media contest by submitting a 1-minute video sharing why they deserve a stay in paradise. The contest ends April 30th and recipients are determined by the most video likes. Additionally, a panel of five of Velas Resorts' most frequented guests from the US and Mexico will choose three individuals to receive an upgrade to stay at the AAA Five Diamond Grand Velas of their choosing.

For more information, please visit www.velasresorts.com/100heroes. The stay awardees must show verification of practice in the healthcare field. Restrictions apply. Individuals who book a five-night stay will also receive an additional night free on their next visit.
