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.

Love the Weiskopf course but..

Great layout, great staff, great practice area. My only issue's some of the sand traps need more sanding them,or need to be tilled up, making it difficult to get out because your club bottoms out and bounces into the ball.

Also my group would like a place to get a drink after our round but you close the bar too early. Other than that, we truly enjoy it at Vista.

Could be better!

Very difficult course with lots of water and tons of sand. Not for the feint of heart, but I knew that going in. Staff were very friendly, and even though it rained a bit, we enjoyed ourselves. But the fairways were bare in lots of places and the bunkers had huge rocks in them. Greens were good, and quick. But I was disappointed in the overall maintenance and upkeep. For the money, Vistana is a much better track and better maintained.

Staff were great. Course was tough but fair. A lot of break on the greens. Some of the bunkers have stones so be careful. Really enjoyed playing there

Awesome!

Outstanding golf course. Tricky but fair greens, well maintained. Great staff, shout-out to the starter Jae! Pretty expensive to play earlier but twilight rate was fair. Will most certainly play again.

Expensive

Price has gone up considerably in the past few years but service has not increased. For the expense not necessarily value for your money

Good but not Great

I like their Course and the LAyout but certainly thought it was overpriced for the condition it’s in. Bunkers need a lot of work, greens are inconsistent and a few were really in tough shape. Has the bones to be a nice course.
