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.

Great first time, great time

My first and maybe my only time playing on this course. Good location and i am glad I booked it thru GP. Staff offered discount off the bat for my companion. Not a busy

day so I played less than 4 hours. Elevation and layout is great. I broke 80 for the first time and in a great course.

I had high expectation but disappointed

I didn't realize the course was in bad shape. Not becauseit rained the night before. Only front 9 was playable. Course is not well maintained. Not all amenities were available, even the range. My first time and wont go back.

Vista Vallarta

The Nicklaus course is a bear! :) The greens were excellent, difficult but fair. The rough is intense!I should have moved up a set of tees.

Back 9th without flags

Everything was excellent, only that we have to play the back 9 without flags since the staff withdraws them at 4:30, even though the course close at 7:00 pm

Great Bang for Your Buck!

This was the 6th course we played while in Puerto Vallarta.It was by far the cheapest, but it was a pleasant surprise. Course was in very good shape, They supplied us with ice and water, which didn't happen on a course we played over $200 to play. Took our clubs to the car for us. It is in the middle of the city, tons of palm trees, very scenic. It was well worth the $33 we paid after all our Golf Now discounts.

Unkept Course/Unmanageable Rough

The course is in need of some TLC. The fairways were brown and the rough was completely unmowed. A ball that rolled just off the fairway could only be found if you were standing on top of it. In general, it he course appeared unkept. Were told later that a mower needed to be repaired.

Nicklaus had slightly more character than weiskoff but both course are excellent

With the local rain rough had not been maintained and high than it should’ve been

Pace of greens could have been a bit faster similar to weiskoff but still rolled well

This golf complex and the two courses are the best in the area.

Course was in great shape

Green and fairways played well

I was the 1st morning tee time after an overnight rain and the bunkers were not turned over For the cost bunkers should have been ready to play

Staff was awesome and very personable

Best course/complex in the area

Great course

Course was in great condition

Greens were excellent

I played after an overnight rain and I was the 1st morning tee time, with that I would say the buckets were not clean but still playable.

Bad time of year?

Maybe just bad time of the year. Only able to play back nine since front nine were under construction. Maybe only offer a price for 9 holes instead of charging full price for 9 holes twice? Greens were good. Fairways pretty watery and muddy but it had been raining a lot past few nights. Service was great. No one else golfing but probably due to price

Arrived and was told that only 9 holes were available The front 9 was closed. They said because I booked through golf now.com that they would not honor any discount. If I had booked directly with them I would only pay $75 due to condition. We will obviously look at booking direct with the course going forward to avoid being disappointed and overcharged.
