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.

Enjoyed the course

The golf course is very nice with some challenging holes. Water hazards are very challenging to work around but quite doable. I'm not a long hitter and needed to do some course management.

The only disappointment came from the sand traps. They were very hard and was unable to get under the ball in order to do short side shots.

Convenient Puerto Vallarta course

Have played 3 different PV courses over the years vacationing here. Marina Vallarta is convenient to our place in the Romantic Zone. Don't have to go out to Nuevo Vallarta. Marina Vallarta is a nice course.

Marina Vallarta

This is a nice course, very challenging sometimes too challenging. Most important things bring lots of balls with you and play the right tee box for your game. See too many people (men) think they should play white or blue tees, this course seems to play big, longer than you think, lots of water, with crocodiles, lots of sand traps, however it isn’t really sand. Time for them to invest some money in the traps. Staff are great, backshop guys are the best, please tip them.

Exchange rate

I played twilight time. The rate is 69USD. According to my app that translates to 1152 pesos, not 1310. I don't appreciate being charged an extra 158 pesos. I would like compensation for the overpayments of the 4 twilight times I played.

Great lay out and facilities at decent price

I have booked a tee time for 14:40 at decent price (89 us $ including fees) considering the regular prices at all courses in the Puerto Vallarta area ( including Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias and Punta de Mita). We played a fast round in 4 hours , me and my wife, as a twosome. The practice facilities are great and the personal is very welcoming). Considering the cost to play this course, the grooming could be a notch better. But the lay out is great with wide fairways in a pleasant environment. We play this course again

Twilight

This is an excellent course in a beautiful setting. That said it is way over priced. I play it in the afternoon at the twilight price making it a really good deal.

Heck of a time!

The course was in great shape and there was nobody on it in the afternoon. I actually recommend it over the Nicklaus course. It's a lot more open, scenic, and just better for the casual weekend warrior. The Nicklaus course is great too, but I enjoyed the layout of the Weiskopf much more.

Expensive but enjoyable

Rates at this course have increased substantially over the last few years. Getting Hot Deals helped bring the price down to make the price reasonable. The layout is challenging and the course is well maintained.
