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.

Beautiful course

A little out of the way but worth the effort to find it. Beautiful course with lots of sand traps. The course was in great shape and with very good signage and the hole details on the cart, no need for a caddie.

Great course in great condition

Course was very nice. Greens were rolling through and fast. Fairways were in great condition. Tea boxes. Also in Greek condition would highly recommend playing this course. Staff was very friendly. It was a great time for us.

Value Challenged

Golf in PV is very expensive, and this is no exception. For the price [$89 US at 2:00] courses at home are much better deal. I'm particularly disappointed in the dry course conditions.

The course is: flat: windy: lots of water: and well bunkered. Some the greens are dome shaped. Bring plenty of balls for the hungry ponds. Everything you have heard about the crocodiles here is true. Yikes

Took a caddie, and enjoyed our time very much.

Play here every time we visit the area, and we actually played here twice this time and both times took a caddie, they are awesome, and helped significantly. The course perhaps the easiest to get to, and reasonably priced. The layout is great and has Mutiple tees for all skill levels. Not always the most pristine course, but certainly worth playing. we will be back.

Always a treat playing Vista Vallarta

Was a pleasure to be back to Vista Vallarta and it will be our preferred course during this season.

Course is in great shape, super design, a good challenge for any level of golfer. Greens were a little sandy but not enough to disturb the rolling of the ball.

If you have one club to go to in the Area, Vista Vallarta has a lot to offer, great view around the mountains and great golf experience.

Fiasco with the GPS led to miss holes

The GPS system was not functioning so carts would lock up. In order to keep pace of play, we skipped holes, shots, etc..

The staff was unhelpful and not apologetic, or owning it for the course, but rather blaming the GPS and not there, inability to turn it off Keep it off so carts don’t get locked up.

The course Played pretty well However, it does not look like the course in the photos.

I Other courses in the area and Around the city Which were way better and more friendly. We won’t play this course again.

Love Weiskopf designs

Vista Vallarta is a visually stunning Golf Course!

Select the correct tee to play from and you will enjoy your experience.

Plenty of trouble off the tee, but good course strategy wins the day.

This course is a must play when in Puerto Vallarta. It was in perfect condition.
