About Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta

Located on beautiful Banderas Bay, Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta are two well-known all-inclusive resorts that offer a wide variety of amenities for every type of traveler. Because they’re sister properties under the same ownership, guests can enjoy luxury suites with garden, golf course, or ocean views at either location, along with transportation and access to amenities at both resorts. Casa Velas is an adults-only resort that offers a peaceful, upscale atmosphere with three restaurants and bars, several pools and Jacuzzis with concierge service and VIP access to the exclusive Táu Beach Club. Guests can unwind at the world-class luxury spa, which features treatments and hydrotherapy circuits, or stay active with swimming, tennis, beach volleyball and a full fitness center. Right next door, Velas Vallarta is a family-friendly resort with various restaurants, daily buffets and gourmet dining options, along with fully stocked minibars. Guests can stroll through lush tropical gardens, relax on the beach, swim in one of the three pools, or enjoy a game of tennis or basketball. There’s also a Kids’ Club with fun, supervised activities designed just for younger guests. Golfers staying at either resort have access to two nearby clubs. Marina Vallarta Club de Golf, designed by Joe Finger adjacent to Casa Velas, is an 18-hole course that offers incredible views of the Sierra Madre mountains, Banderas Bay and the tropical coastline. A half-hour cab ride away, Vista Vallarta Golf Club features two 18-hole championship courses, one by Jack Nicklaus and one by Tom Weiskopf. The Nicklaus course sits at a higher elevation and offers panoramic views of Puerto Vallarta, the marina and the bay, while the Weiskopf course winds through jungle, ravines and creeks for a more rugged, scenic round.

Fairway

I had a hard time distinguishing the gullies on the gps system in the cart. This lead me to loose three balls because I through my shot would roll towards the green. When in fact there was a deep gully in front of the green

Vista golfing

We have always enjoyed playing both the Nicklaus and Weiskopf courses at Vista Vallarta.

It’s a shame that most courses in Puerto Vallarta over charge for golf. I mean hundreds of dollars per person….hence why many of the courses are quite empty.

Don’t they realize that lowering fees would bring in more golfers PLUS potentially more beverage cart, pro shop and restaurant revenue. I’d rather have 150 golfers at $100 each ($15,000) plus food beverage income, than 50 golfers at $250 ($12,500).

Where’s their financial expert?? I mean you have to maintain and fund the same staff either way! Oh and let’s add in club rental fees too!

Why not try it for a season or two?

Very Interesting Course

Great layout in the mountains overlooking Puerto Vallarta. We played in December, early in the golf season. The course was nearly empty allowing us to play in less than 4 hours. The greens were in very good condition.

Marina Vallarta Club de Golf

The best feature of the golf course are the greens. Back 9 was completely redone earlier this year and were in pristine condition, although, very slow. The course was almost empty… No one in front of us and no one behind so it was like having our own private course at this time of the year!

Marina Vallarta Club de Golf

As I said in my previous review, the greens were the best feature of the course. I just found out from a friend of mine that you had redone the back nine this year and while the greens were pristine, they were slower than I would like.

The sand traps were also great… Well maintained in the sand, while somewhat course, were easy to get out of… Second best feature!

I enjoyed playing the course and would certainly recommend it to others!

Marina Vallarta Club de Golf

The greens were the best feature of the golf course. I understand they were recently redone, and they were in pristine condition, although somewhat slow.

We played in 30° temperature, high humidity felt like 37° so that was tiring for an 83-year-old and 76 year-old! 😳😂

Great first time, great time

My first and maybe my only time playing on this course. Good location and i am glad I booked it thru GP. Staff offered discount off the bat for my companion. Not a busy

day so I played less than 4 hours. Elevation and layout is great. I broke 80 for the first time and in a great course.

I had high expectation but disappointed

I didn't realize the course was in bad shape. Not becauseit rained the night before. Only front 9 was playable. Course is not well maintained. Not all amenities were available, even the range. My first time and wont go back.
