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.

Generous fairways

The Weiskopf track doesn’t seem to get as many golfers as the Nicolas, not sure why. This course is well manicured and amazing layout, would highly recommend and is about $50 cheaper

Great value for twilight

Golfed with 2 regulars and it was a blast. People who complain the course isn’t great or the club selection sucks need to get a life and realize this isn’t your posh country club. It’s a regular golf course with a ton of locals and regulars playing the course. A+ would recommend to a friend or family member.

Great course

We chose Marina Vallarta because of its location to the cruise port. It was a great course with a fair number of hazards but not too difficult for average golfers. Rangers kept okay moving. Overall a great experience.

Marina Golf

We really liked this course. The check in process was short and the staff was very friendly. The driving range and putting greens. We’re good to warm up a bit. The course itself had a nice layout. The greens were small but ran very well.

The scenery was beautiful along the beach, and the crocodiles kept us on our toes.

After we were done, we went in and had a beverage and an appetizer and everything was excellent.

We would certainly play this course again.

Pace of play

Pace so slow there were 4 carts on the same hole all day. We drove off the course on the 13th hole. Terrible value for the money.

Marina Vallarta GC is challenging

Marina Vallarta is a challenging and beautiful course.pace of play was slower than average. Beautiful course with ponds and wildlife, crocodiles.

Crocks just nap and don't bother the golfers.
