About Velas Vallarta Suite Resort

A mere five-minute taxi ride from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the Marina section of town is home to one of the city's most venerable retreats, Velas Vallarta. Open in 1991 as the first Velas property, the upscale Mexican hotelier hasn't missed a beat refurbishing the rooms with contemporary Mexican flair in 2005. One step inside those rooms, by far the most spacious in the city, and you'll immediately understand why Velas Vallarta is always high on the list of family-friendly resorts in the city. Ranging from basic to three-bedroom suites, the largest room can easily sleep a family of seven.

Step outside onto the balcony and you can't help but be awed by the majestic vista of Banderas Bay and the backdrop of the Sierra Madre peaks. The tropical splendor on the grounds of the resort is also abundant. Bougainvillea falls from the terraces while the swaying palms shade the koi pond. A lazy river connects the three large pools, including a pool designed for young children. Beyond the pools is Velas Vallarta's stretch of beach and the exquisite bay.

The family will not be bored at this all-inclusive property. A Kids Club is offered daily for children ages 4 to 12. Or simply head to the lazy river and make your way over to the swim-up bar at the main pool for a virgin colada. Three lighted tennis courts are on property, along with a basketball court. If you prefer water sports, the hotel is happy to set up sea kayaking, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, and whale-watching excursions. Puerto Vallarta's boardwalk by the sea, the Malecon, is only a 15-minute drive away, if you feel the urge to do some souvenir shopping. But it will be hard to tear yourself away from this slice of paradise.

sharondea - Apr 28th, 2011

My 10 year old son and I stayed at Vellas Vallarta from 4/16-23. We would go back. I have tried to balance all the positives with some of the items I think could be improved a bit. The staff there could not do more to accommodate your wishes all throughout the resort in all areas. The grounds were beautiful and every aspect of the hotel was kept ... more +
