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.

Overpriced

First time playing this course. Quite like the layout. The lady at the front counter was quite nice as were the 2 starters. They got us out right away which was nice as we were an hour early. The tee boxes and fairways were very rough with not a lot of grass on either. The greens were not too bad. The worst part was the cost of drinks on the course. $15 for a drink is way out of line. That is why we normally bring our own. Would not play this course again for the amount they charged for the green fees.

Meh

We paid MXP 330 more than the conversion from Golf Now rate to Pesos. When we asked the pro shop about this, she tried to explain very curtly and quickly but we didn’t understand her. I paid anyway bec I figure we started earlier and it was worth more than what I booked.

The starter was friendly but that’s where the nice ended. The golf course was just okay, the pace was extremely slow and made golfing a lot less fun. I think a marshal would’ve been a good idea.

We asked the pro shop woman to call us a cab and she sighed ( as if it is super hard) before she did.

This was a very unhospitable golf course and I will take my $ elsewhere on my next golf trip.

Phenomenal golfing experience

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this golf course. We played the Weiskopf side. It was awesome from the start with excellent attendant, Luis, to the end with the best Cadillac margarita by Salvador!

Everything was immaculate, the driving range, tee boxes, fairways and greens. The views were exceptional and every hole was selfie worthy. The entire staff did their jobs extremely well. Tania at the pro shop greeted us warmly and checked us in efficiently. Luis, the very friendly course attendant, set up our carts and cleaned my clubs( without being asked) after the game. Blanca, beer cart angel, made superb margaritas, from scratch with fresh limes. Salvador, OG bartender, made us the best margaritas EVER! Special mention to Omero, the general manager. You sure know how to manage a golf course.

We will definitely play here on our next PVR trip.

Beautiful land lacking love

Nice location, nice challenge, nice layout, green in good condition but too slow. On the other hand, the grass is yellow, lack of love and maintenance, aging land, several houses bordering the land in very average condition, it is not good value for money.

Unfriendly staff.

You have to get the ice bucket your self and pay 100 pesos. They would not clean or take the clubs from the cart.

We have to go to main road to get the taxi.

If you have twilight time booking don't try to go earlier because they would check you in only 15 minutes early and wouldn't let you play early even if the course is empty.

Terrible to have to buy a drink just to get a bucket of ice. Green fees not worth it compared to Vista Vallarta

Great course

We just played this Nicklaus course after having played the Tigre and we liked it much more; there is no comparison.

The beautiful nature all around the course and the lot of flowers are fantastic.

Really great

Has seen better days!

Ridiculously overpriced for a very poorly maintained muni.

A waste of time playing here.

Regular Puerto Vallarta Golfer

Course was in great shape, unlike the Marina course. Thoroughly enjoyed this round of golf. A must play in Puerto Vallarta. The price per round is way too high. They could fill up their tee times if they charged $100 after 12:00 PM. I would play the golf multiple times per trip on both Vista Vallarta courses if the cost wasn't so expensive.
