Perfect place to spend your vacations! - Velas Vallarta Resort

Excellent location. Beautiful weather.

I’m not sure there is a better family friendly resort in PV than Velas Vallarta. To top that off, we had the most gracious and communicative host in Alberto. His unit is as advertised and the grounds and staff of Velas are top notch. I highly recommended Alberto’s unit! We will be ack for sure!

Great host. Met us on arrival and checked with us several times during our stay. Very nice resort with pretty good food. We would definitely go back.

Great stay at Velas Vallarta! The owner was awesome. He was very helpful and accommodating. The condo was very clean and very spacious. It looked exactly as it did in the pictures. It's great that it's in the hotel because you get to use all the amenities the hotel offers, pools, restaurants, Kid's Club. Transportation was very easy. Th bus stop is right outside the hotel and there are also taxis available. The marina is nearby and offers a lot of options to eat out if you don't want to eat at one of the hotel restaurants. Overall a great stay. I recommend it highly.

We attended my sisters wedding in February at Velas…… it was AMAZING!!!!!! We were 2 adults and 3 kids, 12, 6 and 6 which made the cost for the all inclusive insane! After searching around I found this condo, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and huge veranda overlooking the pools….it was great! The kids got to spread out, their cousins slept over a few nights and got to play..lots of room! Alberto was wonderful and even met us in the lobby, brought us to the condo and drove us to Walmart and Sam's Club to pick up stuff. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about renting and afraid it wasn't real but it was and I wouldn't have changed anything! The condo needs a bit of an updating but you can't beat it for the price. One day on the way back from the pool it had a very bad smell but we realized we had moved the covering off of a vent under the sink, when taking out garbage and replaced it…just a heads up. I'd would for sure rent here again next time we are in PV.

The pictures provided properly represent the property but under state the overall experience. The balcony which is directly off the master bedroom and the living room is about 6 feet wide and well over 20 feet long, has great ocean views and views of the spectacular landscaping, we enjoyed eating many of our meals there. Everyone in and around this entire area was extremely pleasant and helpful. Transportation by bus or cab was always available and very inexpensive but we frequently chose to walk in order to get some exercise and enjoy the scenery as doing so was also very safe. There is a large mall with an excellent grocery store just a 25 minute slow walk away. The beach directly in front is an excellent two hour walk round trip and best taken at low tide in the late afternoon when you can walk barefoot in the cool wet sand. You definitely feel like you are in a first class resort with great attention taken by the large staff and all the activities and services provided, all of which are free and included. Last, but certainly not least, was Alberto, the condo owners son, whom took great care of us during our entire stay. We certainly hope to return again someday and are extremely happy with our choice in going there.

Apt, was in a resort very clean and safe, walking distance to marina (15 min.) and bus stop to Old Town just outside resort. Walmart 15 min by taxi for groceries The apt. was very clean and like the photos shown If anything was missing the owner was very accommodating and very friendly I would recommend this apt. to friends and family. there is no washer and dryer but there is laudramat at the marina or they can do it at the resort. Most of the restaurants are very tastefull at the marina especially Victors I would return to this location

We stayed here for just over 2 weeks in February. We were a group of 5: 3 adults and 2 young children (6 months and 3 years). The condo and the resort were just what we needed: walking distance to restaurants on the marina, and an easy bus or taxi ride to Walmart for groceries. PV's bus and taxi system work extremely well: low cost and very accessible. This condo was very comfortable: without too many nick-knacks for the kids to break. The owner and his family were great. They were there to welcome us and had a huge platter of fruit as a welcome gift. The owner was always available on email or by phone, whenever we had any questions. He was extremely accommodating; he even gave us a ride to the airport. It was no easy task with 5 people and tons of luggage. The resort was busy when we were there - not crowded but comfortable. We had access to all the facilities and programs. The pools are very nice and well-maintained, and the beach is very good (for Puerto Vallarta). WIFI is free, but if you want higher speeds you have to pay. We found the free version was fine, and we had at least 5 devices connected. There were some issues with the AC when we were there, but the owner worked hard to resolve them. We found we didn't need the AC much anyway because of the open design of the condo, the ocean breezes and the cool PV nights. There is lots of space for 2 couples or an extended family like ours. It took us quite a while to find some good restaurants, but there are quite a few. There are 2 restaurants at the hotel; we ate in the one at the beach a couple of times. It was good, but a bit expensive. TripAdvisor (which is usually pretty good) doesn't even mention our favorites at the Marina: Basha's, Victor's and the Rock and Roll. The Mikado (not on the marina) has excellent sushi, and reasonable prices. While we were there they had a 30% off early-bird special, but you had to ask for it. All in all, an excellent vacation. Thanks again to the Velas resort staff, and especially to the owner. I would certainly rent from him again.
