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 landscape

I enjoyed a lot the landscape. Some holes very challenging, some quite easy, some good luck, some bad luck, some good play, some three puts - all in all an enjoyable golf round. Can't wait to play next week the other course.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the course was not n great condition, greens were okay. I had expected a little more lush and green perhaps my expectations were too high. For the price it wasn’t a good value.

Fee for wife riding

All was great except I had called the day before and was told that there was no charge for wife riding in cart, but when we arrived the girl charged us $44.00 for my wife! I told her that I had called the day before and she said that the lady was wrong. Not fair to pay $44.00 just to ride with me!!!! So wrong!

Very spending but fun and challenging

Played once for $250 early and another time at noon for $189. A little expensive for this course The second round we were stuck in the middle of a tournament and had to rush to get through the first 4 holes because they were having a shotgun start on holes 1-4 behind us and also on holes 14-18 in front of us.

Always fun course to play

Played the course 6 times in 3 weeks while in Puerto Vallarta. Tried to book with Hot Deals but every time they tacked on sales tax and fees that they don't charge on other tee times. Practically no advantage at all. Always fun to play this course with the crocidile holes. A little short staffed but the people who did work really hustled to keep things moving.

Marina Vallarta Golf Course

Nothing put a goat pasture. Save your money, leave your clubs at homes if this is a vacation.

Fairways OK ... Greens not bad ... average muni !

Bunkers are horrible, it's beach sand that is harden. You'd get more forgiveness from asphalt.

In LA ... this would be $45 US at Lakewood. It's a mirror of that course.

Terrible but they get away with it as it's the long game in town.

Didn't Finish

It took 4 hours to play 12 holes. We were well on our way to a 6 hour round so we quit. The marshall blamed it on one slow group and was sympathetic. We have played here a number of times and it wasn't this slow. It is frustrating that they would allow one group to ruin everyone else's rounds.

Rental clubs

I dont understand why rental clubs are do bad. We had a wedge that snapped in half. I had to beg for a lob wedge. Ther had four woods and a 4 and 5 iron. One wedge with higher loft fhan a pitching wedge. I had to fo to a ma ager to get lob wedge. The clubs looked like they had been used 1000 rounds. That was the premium set.

I love the alligators!
