I recently stayed at Velas Vallarta with some friends and had an amazing time! Specifically, the guys from "Activities", Hector and Fernando were so cordial and friendly. They helped our group acclimate to the hotel and were enthusiastic and friendly. The music they played throughout the day was suitable for all ages to enjoy. There were also fun games as... more

Velas Vallarta is a great hotel.. I would strongly recommend staying there if you are planning to visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. (Which you should!) The food is really good (and the drinks!) the rooms are very clean, the staff if very friendly and the activities team (especially Christian) made everything so fun! My favorite part of the day was finding... more

If you are considering a stay at Velas Vallarta, don't hesitate. Especially if you are looking for a wonderful family experience. This was my second visit to this resort, the first being 2006. Both trips I went with my parents and my children. We had nothing but positive experiences with hotel and especially the staff. The grounds are breath taking.... more

This is a great resort for families and for couples. We have a two year old and she was more than happy to play around the kids pool or the beach for the day. The suites (1 and 2 bedroom) are very large with a balcony and the beds are as good as the Westin! A one bedroom suite is... more

We went to Velas Vallarta for a family vacation (3 adults, 2 kids 6&9). They "upgraded" us to a suite but but failed to mention that a wedding would be happening outside our door (literally) with dance music until 2AM! We put up with it for awhile thinking this is Mexico but when it didn't stop until 2AM we were... more

Do not stay here and by all means DO NOT agree to to the timeshare presenation. A 1 hour presentation turned into 4 and I somehow was talked into buying a timeshare. I've been to these things before, and left without a problem, but these guys are skillful scammers. I cancelled my purchase within the Mexican 5-day cooling off period,... more

At check in, they go through a hardsell approach to buy a timeshare they call a Fractional Ownership. Takes notes when they speak to you. We didn't. Most of what we were told that would be included was not on the contract. If you agreement to purchase, you are told they will contact you in a day or two. We... more

We, and our 52 guests stayed at Velas Vallarta during the week of the wedding. We did not have the wedding on site. However, we did have the welcome cocktail, rehearsal dinner, etc. on site. We had 54 people staying here, and it was amazing. We had about half of the group staying in RCI rooms that my father-in-law booked,... more

My husband & I spent a week at the Velas Vallarta. overall, the experience was good. However, I would try a different place if I were to return to PV again. In US terms..I would consider this a 3-4 star hotel..not a 4-5 star. The rooms were clean & we had a lovely view of the pool & ocean from... more
