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.

best experience I had over a week in Puerto Vallarta

I played a solo round, and finished in around three hours.. I shot 95 from the Blues (which is about normal for me) and the course conditions were great, and everyone was super friendly and helpful..

it's a bit out of the way from the city, but well worth the Uber ride.. maybe just a bit more expensive than I would like, but that's all of the Puerto Vallarta courses, so I wouldn't hesitate to play this course (or the Vista Vallarta Nicklaus course that I played in 8/2022) again

Traps

We love both courses at Vista Vallarta and you can find good values through GolfNow. The one thing that brings this course down is the sand in the traps. It is literally the worse sand that I have even experienced, it would be better suited as concrete aggregate. Extremely large grain sand and full of pebbles and rocks.

It’s just not worth the money

The course layout is good very challenging but the price of the green fees are way too high the course sits empty from 7am until 2pm after 2pm the course is full of golfers why because the rates goes from $145 to $75 which it my opinion is still too high and to charge $50 for a rider is wrong $20 at the most

Our condo is on the marina course and I would rather play the Vidanta it’s cheaper and a far better course

Positive

The greens there are unique to me. I’ve never seen them like that before. They were rolled a little bit slow, but they were as consistent as anything, and played the way they looked. I wouldn’t hesitate to play there again. Booked at the day before to save a ton of money

challenging

Fairways were really nice and greens very smooth although firm. Tight course. Lots of trees. Crocodiles like the water hazards

Overall a great experience. Unfortunately our food order took an hour and a half.

The course was good value. Nice layout and good greens. Too bad about the crappy service though. Food took forever (over an hour and a half!) and it’s a small thing but kinda irritating that you only get water for your cart if you play the Nicklaus Course. A small water bottle isn’t included in Carts on the Weiskopf course. It’s the little things. And that’s just next level cheap. If they upped their service game the experience would be way better.

It’s a Nice golf course though.

Played Nicklaus course

There was an outing on the Weiskolp course so I got to play Nicklaus instead without up charges. Beautiful course with some spectacular views but very challenging for all but the most accurate strikers.
