What We Love

Smitten over that lazy river - pure refreshing relaxation, especially with the house specialty margarita in tow. (Heaven).

Rooms decorated in happy, Mexican inspired hues with sitting areas and terraces for extra comfort.

Stress-squashing massages by the beach with soothing ocean waves - beyond bliss.

Bountiful beachside palapas give you just enough shade - and a prime location to dip into the sea.

Early check-in and late check-out - maximize all that beach lovin'.

Delicious food - all day long - beachside, poolside, resortside. (Fact: you won't go hungry).

The fitness center lets you work off all that yummy guac and chips, and the adult beverages you lost count of.

Things to Know

10-acre beachfront property that is only five minutes from the airport and in walking distance to Marina Vallarta (500 yacht-sized slips for viewing!) and an 18-hole golf course.

The Kids Club keeps your little loved ones entertained while you decompress beachside.

Activities are happening throughout the day - if you so wish to move from your lounger: Marina Vallarta walk, Bingo, Ping Pong, Black Jack - just to name a scant few.

For those tennis lovers out there, three lit tennis courts are ready for your sports prowess.

Walks along the beach, especially when the sun is about to set are beachtacular. Get your cameras ready.

    Such a wonderful vacation.

    We had the best time. We stayed in a 3 bedroom suite with 3 couples and an infant. It was so comfortable. The rooms were clean and were always supplied with everything we needed. The resort had great food, drinks, and so many fun activities. It was located in the perfect spot. Very safe to walk to the Pier.

    Wonderful landscaping

    Beautiful resort, great beach. Very nice staff. Fresh margaritas that are the perfect not too sweet balance… we stayed 5 days. Book your dinner reservations early as you might have to wait at the other restaurant if your timing isn’t great.

    Excellent vacation spot. Will not disappoint.

    First time here but definitely won’t be our last. Velas Vallarta is a very nice resort. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. Food was good and drinks even better. Room was spacious and very clean. Love this place. Even saw a turtle on the beach laying eggs.

    Beautifully maintained

    The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The beach is amazing and the staff are very friendly. The absolute only complaint is the dinners. We tried both restaurants and it was either cold or the beef was tough. Breakfast and lunches were great. The taco chips with guacamole and salsa were a hit! The room was clean and the beds were comfy! It is in a perfect location, not too far from the airport and check in went quickly. Thank you to all!
