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.

The better of the 2 Vista Vallarta courses

Both courses are our favourites in the PV area, and both are well groomed and interesting. The Nicklaus course is a bit more challenging with a few more barrancas to cross and more undulating greens

The marshal does not drive around to keep the players moving.

The greens were in good shape. Lot of the grass on the fairways have been cut so low that the sun has burnt the grass.

Good layout & greens, fairways dry

An interesting layout, good greens but fairways are a bit dried out. You get good roll though. Underrated course

Challenging track

Went for an afternoon round, hit a few balls before tee off.Some tight fairways, the most challenging aspect was your approach shots, most of the greens are guarded by sand and water..better be accurate or bring lots of balls..All in all an enjoyable round.

Be careful of Mexican exchange rate -

First time I’ve ever experienced where they charged me in pesos, but when I converted the money on a no fx fee card it was $40 more for the two of us then quoted via golf now

I checked when we played a second round already paid for (hot deal) Norma said that was the rate…not Impressed
