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.

A course that need love

Great paiste, considering we played at 14:45. Green in good condition. The maintenance of the rest of the court is poor. Many water hasards did not have water in. Cart paths in bad shape. Too bad because the location is great.

Meh

Reserving a tee time was quick and easy, I just wish that their mobile site was a bit friendlier. We were unaware of the steep rental club fee until arrival - and they were unwilling to negotiate. Be warned, it's $54 per set of clubs. Staff not overly friendly or helpful. We were placed behind some really slow players, so the pace was less than desirable. The layout and conditions of the course were great. Overall, just an okay experience.

Golf - Marina Vallarta - Puerto. Vallarta

What a goat pasture. While a tricky layout, for a rack rate of $159 and Golf Now for $120, leave your clubs at home.

Positives … greens are pretty nice. Service in bar was great. Club attendants are very helpful.

Negatives … more forgiveness on parking lot surface than bunkers (don’t take a swing in sand for fear of breaking your SW). Overall condition of course is garbage. Pretty equal facilities to LA public course for $45.

What a joke !

Tight, demanding layout. Hard for me to score. Good greens, fairways and tees only fair. Lots of burnout this year.

The courses in PV charge a lot for club rentals. Clubs are beat up and do not unclude gap wedges. They are a terrible value

Wonderful course

The amount of wildlife there is spectacular. The staff was friendly, food was good, course was perfect. The group of 4 in front of us waited for the group ahead of them to completely clear the hole, then all 4 of them would cross up the hole and hit their balls 50 yards at a time. Pace of play was brutal, but everything about the course was great! Obviously just a one off of the brutal golfers we were stuck behind.

Vista Vallarta Weiskopf. I’d play it again!

The course is a good layout and was in good condition, greens rolled fast and true. Breakfast was tasty. 26usd for a 3 ball sleeve seems steep. ..stop at Costco for a dozen.

It was just ok

We had called the course directly and we were told we could share the clubs -there were 4 of us 4 men right clubs 1 women left no problem.. We get there and of course no we dont do that..she was kind enough to give us club rentals for $40.00 instead of $55.00. Our bill was $325.60 for 2 people. Fees & cart The course itself is nice.. they tried to charge us for a cooler of ice.. we said no we are not paying so they gave it to us.. bring your own water as they dont supply it as customer goodwill. We only played 9 holes.. lots of crocs they were friendly...😅
