Puerto Vallarta hotel hosts fiesta, leisure programs for all ages
Velas Vallarta Suite Resort takes a well-rounded approach to leisure. Guests enjoy nightly entertainment with a taste of Mexican flair; a live mariachi band and folk dancers perform every Sunday for diners at the buffet. Daily programs cover all the bases, even for kids ages 4 to 12, who enjoy arts and crafts and games while their parents work out in the gym or enjoy cocktails at the swim-up bar. Views of Banderas Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains sweeten the scene.
Highlights
  • Sunday fiestas with live dancers and a mariachi band
  • Three pools and a swim-up bar
  • Luxury suites with kitchenettes, dining areas and Banderas Bay views
  • Kids club for ages 4 to 12 with supervised activities
Rooms
Guests at Velas Vallarta Suite Resort soak up views of the emerald waters of Banderas Bay from private balconies, one of many luxuries inside the 345 luxury suites. Rooms favor contemporary design and the extra touches that allow for added convenience. Teak wood furniture lends island style, while goose-down pillows and linens sporting ethnic patterns top comfortable beds. When visitors prefer to dine in, they can cook meals in kitchenettes equipped with microwaves and utensils. High-end British bath amenities, a separate dining area and fully stocked mini-bars are standard.
Features
A diverse menu of activities keeps guests in an upbeat mood at Velas Vallarta Suite Resort. Patrons can take a yoga class, learn to scuba dive, go swimming in the three pools or catch the nightly theme shows, from Veracruz Dance Night to Casino Night. Children ages 4 to 12 participate in kids club activities such as face painting and treasure hunts while their parents enjoy the spa or fitness center.
Dining
Velas Vallarta Suite Resort delivers food right to suites 24 hours a day, but the multiple restaurants are natural magnets. La Ribera Steakhouse is a staple; the juicy steaks, succulent seafood and spicy ceviche are on par with the breathtaking views of the Sierra Madre Mountains and Banderas Bay. On Sunday nights, the whole resort turns fiesta when a mariachi band and folk dancers entertain the crowds lining up for the authentic buffet. Sunbathers can also visit the swim-up bar to enjoy fresh cocktails and stunning vistas.

Great service!

We have been to several all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and this has been by far the best for us. Most places have undersized pool/beach areas compared to the number of rooms while it is the opposite here-even on the weekend when the place was fully booked it never felt crowded and you could always get a spot without issues. Great kids pool (2 feet deep). The staff provided the most amazing service- always friendly and actually looking to help you. Great food- only two restaurants but everything we had ( even the steaks ) was good and they have 24 hour room service. Also only served name brand liquids and had a decent selection of wines. Great place!

Very dissapointed - not as described

We spent alot of money on this trip. When we arrived we were very dissapointed. It was nothing more than a glorified Super 8 motel. The all-inclusive advertised full mini-bar, suite rooms, etc.. The mini bar existed of water and a couple cans of beer, We spent one night and checked out.

Don't do an all-inclusive package. Not worth the extra money you pay.

Be aware that everywhere in Puerto Vallarta you will be stopped and asked to join timeshares. From the time you reach the airport until you leave the airport! If you are not interested you just need to be persistent and walk away or you will waste a whole day listening to their sales pitch! They will try to reel you in by offering you free excursions, massages, etc.

Fantastic resort!

Exceptional service and accomodations. The staff was very attentive to every need, and willing to help with a smile. I have stayed at many places in many countries, and this was by far one of my best experiences ever. Malecon (the main shopping district and Boardwalk, are a short taxi ride away. Puerto Vallarta happily embraces its' title as the friendliest city on earth. Lots to do there. Take a canopy tour, tour tequila distilleries, or just enjoy the beach. Highly recommend Velas. Will return soon!

We wound up booking our transportation and canopy tour through Gray Line on [...]. We were not satisfied with the service they provided. They completely forgot to pick us up for our city tour, and were over 30 minutes late taking us back to the airport at the end of our stay. There are many other "broker" type companies in Puerto Vallarta that book the same tours. Use them instead of Gray Line.

Great Vacation, Different from most.

We are well travelled mostly all inclusive vacationers but new to the family scene. Rooms were very good for family. We had a studio that was clean well appointed and comfortable. Kid's club was very well laid out for location. Minimal approach but the staff were amazing and kept the interest level high for all ages. Pools are best we have seen. Staff and service sets this hotel apart from most but on rare occasions experienced poor service.Find the waiters you like and remember their names to request next time. Two dining options is a drawback. We did not get any orientation so did not understand at first that themes/menus changed at restaurants. Buffet is like all the rest. Ordered meals or the outside grill were the best food. Getting good waiters makes all the difference. [...]was our prefered but many very good people. [...]was a wonderful hostess. Pool side [...] were the best. Could not believe that many did not tip these people. They were some of the hardest working service professionals we have met in Mexico.

Highly recommend

We liked it as soon as we arrived. It really is nicely layed out and well kept (both rooms and overall facility). We have an almost 4 year old and spent most of our days at the pool or on the beach. The pool is great! There's something for everyone. They make nice use of the space, creating a lot of seating for chairs. Staff was great and very attentive. The food was good with lots of options. Only thing a little lacking were more healthy food options for younger children, but we found enough for the week. The entertainment was also decent in the evenings, only wish was that it started a little earlier for the younger kids. Loved that the dining was right off the ocean. It was a bit windy at times, but certainly allowed for a great ambiance. Wish there would have been another "type" of restaurant at the hotel. The two options were both really much of the same, one a just a little more upper scale than the other. The suite rooms were awesome. Loved having a kitchen and a separate bedroom. They were very clean and had everything you needed. The couch could use some help, but that's about the biggest complaint. Always had hot water, which has not always been my experience.

The marina is very close and worth the walk down (10 minutes at most). There's a long string of shops and restaurants where you can do some serious boat watching. Nice alternative to going downtown for an evevning or afternoon.

Awesome hotel

The hotel is great, especially if you're traveling with children. It is located about 10 minutes from town and walking distance to shops and a grocery store. This is our 3rd time at this hotel and we're planning to return again soon with grandchildren. The people are wonderful and they go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Wish they had a third restaurant.
