Read Reviews of Vela Vallarta, a Family Beach Resort in Puerto Vallarta

We just returned from our daughters’s wedding. We spent 5 days and wish we’d have stayed longer. The wedding was magical! The resort was fabulous. The staff was fantastic and everyone was extremely friendly. Can’t say enough good things about the place!

I'm always very impressed with the service and the cleanliness of Velas Vallarta. It's a beautiful place. And they have really comfy beds. My only negative (and it's not really negative) is I wish there were DVD players or streaming capabilities with the tvs. Building #1 gets the sun on the balcony in the morning, while building #3 gets the late afternoon sun. I prefer building 1 as it's cooler in the morning and the sun feels great in the early morning.

Room: we stayed in the deluxe 1 bedroom with ocean and pool view. The room is modern, functional and spacious for a family. Although we did have an issue with our original room; they resolved it quickly. Property: The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained. Amenities: The pools and activities were super fun! The kids and adults loved it. You need to mark your chairs early like most places. Food: Andrea restaurant was our favourite and the pool side dining options/room service were consistently good. We had a not so great experience at Ribera on our first night but no issues after that. The menus rotate and we never felt there was a shortage of options. If you have picky eaters, there are plenty of “kid food” options at every meal. The restaurants offer al a carte and buffet choices. Beach: we enjoyed walks on the beach but it is a bit rocky at some parts. Location: you are about a 10 minute walk from the Marina but about a 30 minute drive to downtown PV which we didn’t mind. You’re only 10 mins from the airport. Tip: Don’t use “VIP transport” that the hotel arranges from the airport. Overpriced and chaotic (we had to wait ages at the airport) We would absolutely stay here again.
