Hotel Casa Velas and Velas Vallarta
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.Facts

Reviews
Pros and Cons
Did not book on golf now but would recommend doing that.
Pace of play and marshalling is terrible and I mean terrible. Saw this on other reviews and it is true. They had singles and doubles going out even though they were 20 minutes behind.
Fairways in poor condition, greens prett good. Lots of tough pin placements but no complaints
Narrow fairways and lot of water but I thought the layout was very good..just be prepared for slow play and an unfriendly staff
not worth the money
course is in poor condition. pace of play is terrible. no marshalls.
Pro shop staff no bueno
Course is challenging and the crocs and wildlife make it cool…. cart staff - service staff, snack bar guy, starters, all very kind and welcoming. Woman in the pro shop is a staff member that checks you in.. We played there 3 times in 1 week. She had a very hard time finding our tee time registration (booked on golf now). And the day we came in 1 hour 40 minutes before the tee time she was very upset stating we were almost 2 hours too early. We had planned some driving range and putting practice time. My spouse always inquires about an earlier tee time …and pro shop girl was very upset that we may be trying to get a non-twilight time for a twilight price and reminded us three times if we wanted to start earlier we will have to pay more (even though there were open spots for twosomes that the starters were trying to fill) starters asked us if we could join and we had to say ‘no’ because the pro shop would not ‘check us in’ .. Other than her attitude and their weird rules the course was in good shape and we had a good time.
I very tough test of golf.
Lots of doglegs. Lots of water hazards. Green complexes are extremely difficult. Greens have undulations and grain to deal with. Expect to shoot a score higher that your usual.
Despite the difficulties, it is a beautiful piece of property with lots of cool wildlife. Lots of crocodiles!!
No complaints, I’m on vaca
We had a great round, lot’s of fun, course was in very good shape for Puerto Vallarta!
Good course with few crocs
4 hr round is a plus on a hot day. Greens were good but inconsistent bonus..I got a hole in one!
Poor Service
Lorena at the golf shop was very rude. My wife didn't want to play but still charged me for a ridger even though Golf Now charged me for a player. Golf Now did not refund me the charge for a player even though I was charged by Lorena a rider fee. Poor communication and unwilling to make this right.
Exciting golfing
This was a fun golf course. The crocodiles in iguanas made it challenging at times, but great to see them. Crocodiles cost me three strokes it was also fun watching the airplanes take off while golfing.
Great course with beautiful views of the mountains
We’ve played this course at least 10 times in the last 7 years. We never get tired of the views. The staff are excellent and the course is in excellent condition
Golf on the Ocean!
Loved it! The Alligators did not disappoint us in joining us on the course. Served lunch while playing, great Bloody Mary's! Fun family and friends time!
