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.

This Course layout hasn’t changed in years

It’s ok laid back afternoon golfing , you meet up with friendly people

The only surprise was the green fee

We booked with GN in back in Canada - $89 due at the course per player !

The Course doesn’t accept $Candian so we had to pay in peso $1692 per person this is equivalent to $150 Canadian …

Nice Track - $44 for a riding guest?

Great golf course probably one of the best in Vallarta. A bit of a trek to get to but beautiful and well cared for. Greens are very hard without a lot of give so hard to keep the ball on the green if you hit it long. Only negative was paying $44 USD for someone to sit in the cart with me. Shows that’s no where on the website. $250 plus round for 1 with a single player is it is a expensive

Marina Vallarta Golf Course review from a 70 year old Canadian

The course provides a good test of your golfing skills due to the variety of the terrain, the placement of the sand traps & water hazards, appropriate locations of the tee boxes depending on your skill level & the undulating greens allows numerous locations to place the cups to test your putting skills.

It can also test you mental fortitude if you are from an area that doesn’t have large crocodiles swimming or walking around the water hazards.,
