more than exceeded expectations
We absolutely loved our trip to Velas Vallarta! We were a family of 5+1 friend (our kids are all teenagers/young adults), and we booked 3 studios. They were beautifully renovated in Tower 3. At check in we upgraded one unit for my husband and me, which added several helpful features: larger unit with a living room that could easily let us all hang out together, an interior balcony, an interior bedroom and one of the kids' studios was adjoining. This made the upgrade totally worth it. We had all-inclusive privileges, although I learned that people can rent directly from timeshare owners through vacation rental companies and can opt to not be all-inclusive. I'm glad we booked through the hotel. However, this isn't a budget vacation, even though it was high value for what we paid. The grounds are beautiful, the pools are beautiful and well laid out. The music by one pool was calm in the morning and fun in the afternoon. And the fountain features nicely created a tranquil atmosphere, while keeping the music from drifting back to the "quiet pool". The kids club activities looked fun, although we didn't have little kids. The adult activities were fun for all of us - beach volleyball games, ping pong tournaments, etc. We enjoyed pickleball on site and water volleyball. The evening entertainment on site was pretty good. Started a little later than we preferred on some nights. We ended up not even leaving the property and we stayed 5 nights. Food was wonderful at both locations. Plenty of good options for eating poolside also. Staff everywhere were gracious, fun, kind, professional, accommodating-- all the things you hope for. We tipped well and didn't need any pesos. The access to the airport was very convenient, and the planes didn't fly that often so it wasn't distracting or noisy. One thing we learned was that we picked a low-travel time (which meant pools and restaurants were never crowded), but it could have been overwhelmingly hot and uncomfortable. As it turned out, our days had nice cloud cover which saved us from being miserable. So takeaway for me is not to go in July. I can see why so many of the guests are annual repeaters -- so many said they come back over and over. I think we will do the same.

Incredible family vacation
Velas Vallarta Dec 14 - 21, 2024 This was a family trip. We booked two rooms for a total of 5 people. We did do the all inclusive which as usual was excellent. Our check in was quick and easy peasy. Our bracelets for AI also had our room key on them so no carrying around a key. Nice, though I do miss the older, momento braided bracelets. We spent a lot of time just on the resort, swimming, drinking, chatting etc. Pool was amazing and we utilized both the quiet and fun pool. Our rooms were fine, Villas. Had everything one could want or need. Amenities were shampoo, cream, soap, nice towels and lots of water pressure. We had a lovely master bedroom with lots of closet space and a safe. A bathroom, living room, kitchen with all one could need and a lovely balcony with table and chairs. The entire room villa and resort were spotlessly clean. Service is outstanding from bellmen to waiters to housekeeping. The room service was quick, served hot or cold as warranted and as usual delicious and 24/7 without limits. Internet was excellent. Meals at La Ribera on the ocean front were great. Ice cream snacks by La Ribera were yummy. Andrea was also great , we made reservations but they were not absolutely necessary. We enjoyed each and every meal, and snack, be it at Aqua Bar pool menu, La Ribera or Andrea. The convenience store on site is handy. The marina is an easy walk and lots of fun on Thursday nights. The nightly shows were great as was the Mexican fiesta on Sundays, none compare in PV. You cannot go wrong at Velas Vallarta Family resort no matter the age. We will be back and soon. A favorite resort of ours.

Puerto Vallarta Velas
This was my second time at Velas Vallarta and it never disappoints. The hotel rooms are roomy and comfortable. In room breakfast service was wonderful as we had all inclusive which I highly recommend. Pool bar and pools were great, but you could also walk right on the beach and swim in the ocean.

Beautiful Views; Wonderful Service
This resort was beautifully maintained. We had the three bedroom suite with a hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean. The AC worked GREAT which was such a God send with the heat from outside. We chose the All Inclusive package and it was well worth it. The cleanliness of our room and the housekeeping staff was great.

Beautiful.
I was there with a friend for a girls trip. We loved staying at Velas Vallarta. The resort is beautiful. The grounds are immaculate. The room was spacious and very clean. Loved the stocked mini bar and fridge. All the employees I interacted with were friendly and helpful. The food was good. A decent variety is offered. The pool side service was a delight. We would go back for sure.
