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.

Got out early, lots of wildlife!

We got out before our tee-time and pretty well had the course to ourselves until #11. Took a bit of time snapping some photos of a few impressive salt water crocodiles!

Had some fun!

Make sure you have a collared shirt.

I walked about 0.8 miles to get to the course from my hotel with my clubs. I was wearing a mok turtle neck collarless shirt that I had been given at a Fed Ex cup promotional event years ago com[;ete with the Fed Ex cup logo on the chest!. Fortunately I got there about 50 minutes early.

When I went to check in I was told I needed to be wearing a collared shirt. So I had had to make anotherround trip 1.6 mile walk back to my hotel to geta a collared shirt. It was not a pleasant experience!!!

Perhaps this golf course needs to learn it is now the 21st century, not the 19th!!!!

Dry conditions

I have golfed here many times over the last 25 years. I have never seen it so dry. I miss the crocodiles. The greens are crusty dry, which makes them slow. But, they are true. I will golf here again. The course is just a victim of Mother Nature! The staff are quite friendly & helpful!
