    BEST WEDDING LOCATION EVER!

    We went to Velas Vallarta to get married- and they blew away our expectations! We had a group of about 75 guests and all received such wonderful care. The resort is absolutely beautiful- the staff are amazing, the food is great, and the setting is perfect! Yoga on the jetty every morning was incredible. The wedding felt completely surreal- they handled everything, the decor was impeccable, the food was amazing, and we danced the night away! All of our guests were very impressed. I couldn't have been happier working with Michele throughout the entire process. Whether you're going for a special event or for vacation- do it! You won't be disappointed!

    A perfect getaway with the best customer service

    I 100% recommend Velas Hotel if you want to have a great time with your family, relax and take advantage of all their amenities. My family stayed there for a week with the all-inclusive plan. Our goal was to relax, enjoy and eat! I recommend going to the Yoga class in the morning, it was a game changer to our stay. Also, Angel and Jafet gave us great moments with the arts and crafts class and the aqua aerobics. We also took a tennis class with the teacher and it was challenging and fun. I want to give a special shout out to Ernesto, Heriberto and Francisco at Andrea's restaurant, they gave us one of the best services that we had experienced in my life. During breakfast at Andrea's, Angel and Asuzena were so kind and welcoming everytime we went there. Rogelio and Selerino at the pool also provided a remarkable service, we even planned to be in their pool area some days because of how great they were! We are so thankful for the treatment we received at this hotel, looking forward to coming back soon!

    Overall, a wonderful place for a family vacation

    Resort Grounds and Pools: 9/10. Everything is kept in immaculate condition, the staff are constantly working to keep it pristine. It feels like you’re in a tropical paradise. The pools are very nice. Lots of nice shaded areas. One slight bummer is the situation where everyone puts out towels on their chairs very early in the morning, but doesn’t actually use the chairs. I’d prefer if the staff removed the towels from unused chairs so you could actually find one in the shade. Rooms: 9/10. I’ve heard them described as dated, but ours felt very modern and nice. Air conditioning worked great. Staff were quick for anything we needed like extra blankets, or clogged shower. One surprise: Our 1-bedroom suite didn’t actually have a sofa-bed despite the description and floor plan showing one. Our kids slept on the two arms of the sectional couch, which worked fine for us since they wouldn’t be kicking each other. If I had really wanted a sofa bed, I would have complained. Staff: 10/10. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, regardless if it was at restaurant, room service, house cleaning, front desk, etc. Shout out to Ernesto, our favourite waiter who made my wife’s birthday special. Food: 7/10. The only thing that was lower than my expectations. It was a bit monotonous, and not particularly high-end. The buffet options at the two restaurants weren’t super appealing. The best food was generally at Andrea at night, where you needed to make reservations each morning. We only got room service a few times, but the taco meal was excellent. The drinks were great, and the kids loved the swim up bar. Notes: * There are only 2 restaurants, Andrea (fancier) and La Ribera (by the ocean, more casual). The website listed a third restaurant opening in November but we didn’t see one as of Nov 15th. There was a crepe bar in the lobby open in the afternoon. * Even Andrea has a kids menu, which is great for picky eaters. * The dress code on the handout was different than what was listed on the website. Andrea: “Casual/Elegant T-shirt or shirt with sleeves. Dress pants/shorts, closed toe shoes. No beachwear or sport shorts.” La Ribera: “Shirt with sleeves.” We were stressed out before traveling but it wasn’t a big deal once we were there. It wasn’t strictly enforced. You don’t need to bring pants or even closed toes shoes. Don’t overthink it.

    Wedding of My Dreams

    My husband and I got married at Velas Vallarta during Dia de Los Muertos Weekend. Michele the wedding coordinator was top tier. She was prompt, had effective communication, and made sure my vision came to life. If you plan to get married here in Puerto Vallarta, you can not go wrong by choosing Velas Vallarta. Our wedding guests raved about how nice everything was. The grounds of Velas is stunning, you truly feel tucked away in a tropical paradise with the koi fish river, lush gardens, and peacocks. The rooms are very clean and the views are beautiful. The staff here if very kind and helpful. It was a plus to have daily events that we could attend, as well as access to the spa services and gym. This all inclusive resort is just a quick 7 min drive from the airport which allows for immediate relaxation after traveling. One of my favorite things is that you are greeted in the lobby with a cold towel and refreshing beverage. We will definitely be returning to Velas again.

    Intimate wedding at Velas Vallarta Beach Club

    We are so happy we chose Velas Vallarta Beach Club to host our intimate wedding reception in May 2025 - it exceeded our expectations. The venue offers a beautiful views and plenty of perfect photo spots. The food was delicious, and our guests were truly impressed. A heartfelt thanks to our coordinator, Michele, who managed every detail with professionalism, calm, and genuine positivity-and surprised us with a touch of mariachi that made the moment truly unforgettable. If you’re considering this place for a special event, I genuinely recommend it. Michele was always available to answer our questions, share her expertise, and help us create a wedding that fit both our style and our budget. Thanks to this amazing team, our wedding was heartfelt, beautifully coordinated, and truly memorable!
