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

I am writing to share my experience at your hotel this past Sunday February 22;2026. We were standing on the street - exposed to the possibility of violence for 1 hr and a half with no shelter , friends or a way to get back to our condominium. Out of the blue came a lady -Monica from your hotel to offer us refuge in your lobby till things got settled. We sat there from 11:30 till 5:30 before accepting the roads were still closed and getting a room with you. Her compassion and your hotels gracefulness made this experience the best that could be under the circumstances. We’re back at our condominium today but could not wait any longer to express my appreciation to Monica and your management team. Thank you again Rick Leszczynski

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.

Nicest people
