Velas Vallarta exceeded our hopes in every way! Our family had our Dream Vacation here. The All Suites is perfect for families traveling. We had three rooms, our two kids and their spouses and children each had a private three bedroom suite, with two bathrooms and a full kitchen, dining and living room. This rooms were spacious, very clean and fresh. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the pillows a dream, we enjoyed the best sleep. The staff who helped in the suites were awesome. Thank you to Hilaria, she kept our room fresh and clean every day. The staff at Andreas was exceptional. Many thanks to Raul, Hector, Ricardo, Luis, Angel, Allen, Miranda, Ernesto and the amazing chef at the omelette station, she made the best eggs. The Staff at the pool bar was great and always watching out for everyone. One staff member said the kids would feel like they were right at home by day 2 and they really were. Incredible staff at the front dest, Performance Staff was excellent and the Magician was absolutely magical! The staff at the restaurant at the beach were so welcoming, and always set us a beautiful table. We were fortunate to be there for their very special Pit Master Special, two nights of incredibly talented Pit Bosses, who shared extraordinary food with us. The pools were great fun and the kids lived in there when they were not body surfing in the ocean or building sand castles. The pools were kept at a lovely temperature that allowed the kids to literally play in them till suppertime. The kids were crazy about the resident Peacocks and fish who lived at the Velas. They were able to feed the fish with pellets and they loved that. Towel service was great by the pool and we had a great experience with staff and other visitors around the pool and resort. The gardens were so beautiful and so well maintained the natural canopy's of vines or tree tops to sit under were gorgeous. Certainly felt like paradise. One of the #1 reasons we chose Velas Vallarta is because our granddaughter, who is 8, is a severe Celiac. The executive Chef spoke with her family and knew her needs and in all restaurants she was perfectly cooked for. She felt so special, they baked fresh buns for her daily and special deserts, pancakes, beautiful meals, she was so pleased, never left out. Last but not least, this resort is only a ten minute bus ride from the airport so we did not lose precious hours of our trip to long rides down the coast. We loved the location and we did two day trips to go surfing, cliff jumping and some snorkelling. Very easy. **We also enjoyed some activities with the entertainment staff, such as great daily selection. Water aerobics, Mexican Bingo, Beach VolleyBall, Water Volleyball, Paint Class and Jewelry Making. The younger kids enjoyed the kids club and were able to do some crafts and faceprinting :) Velas Vallarta felt so comfortable, a very Classic Resort. ***** Many thanks from our entire Family

This resort is incredible! So clean and the food and service are excellent! All the amenities are perfect and provide the best vacation and relaxation! We can’t wait to come back!

We went here for Spring break with my 16 year old son and 18 year daughter and my husband. We had a wonderful week here beautiful grounds, all the staff was very friendly and the food options had lots of variety and was pretty good. No complaints. We upgraded to a 3 bedroom and it was very nice and lots of room and gorgeous views.

Thank you, Christian, for a fun and relaxing week filled with great family time and pool activities and night entertainment. A big thank-you to the entire pool team, and a special shout-out to our amazing pool servers—Edwin, Marcelino, and Carlos—for truly working their tails off and taking care of us. We appreciate you! Also a shout out to Christina and the team at La Ribera consistently do a fantastic job and taking care of us—thank you for all the hard work at the beach restaurant. See you next time.
