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.

Great Staff

Played this course with my wife during a short destination wedding vacation. Got a 7:30 Tee and didn’t see another golfer until the 16th hole, and they were just on the way out. It was fantastic weather in April, with some dry-looking conditions in the surrounding areas.

All the Staff were stellar with big smiles while being super helpful.

A little pricey, but the experience is worth more than what you’ll pay.

Very nice experience

My second day this week at VV. Played Weiskopft two days earlier. First off the pro shop staff was very professional and efficient. The starter crew was a really nice retired American. He gave great info about VV. Was excellent. The driving range and putting area was excellent. Get there early to take advantage. The course was in excellent shape. Tee boxes and greens were exceptional. Bunkers were solid. I also played Vidanta twice this week. All courses were great but I rank VVNiklaus, VVWesiskopt and Vidanta in that order. Easy Uber to VV. @$13 each way from the Hard Rock and no issues waiting for an UBer.
