Althought expansive, it was really worth it. The courtyard was amazing, you really felt that you were in a tropical paradise, with all the trees, landscape and small streams filled with fish. Loved to see the iguana and the peacocks. The service was amazing, the waiters very friendly and treated me like a queen. The food was excellent and I loved eating right in front of the beach.

The only negative thing I can say is that the entertainment was too late, started at 21h30 ! Which was 23h30 at my time. I was never able to tough until that time, I had to go to bed before that. So I did not get to see any shows, except the Sunday show and the entertainment for Mexican nights at one of the restaurants.

The staff was helpful and nice. The lush, green grounds were calming. The stream curving through the property with the fish is clean and quiet. The restaurants have different focus each night so there is great variety. Water aerobics classes daily were vigorous. Close to airport. I would return to this property.

Vacation Club reps were rude and had no signage but made my 75 year old husband move away from their area but he was hot and they had a fan.

Very convenient location close to the airport which means your vacation starts as soon as you land. Well kept and spacious All-Inclusive. Our 1-bedroom suite was perfect and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beach cabanas most, and the pool. The fitness center was very good - clean and uncrowded, although disappointing that it doesn't open til 7am for early risers. Food was good, breakfast the best. Somewhat surprised that there were not better seafood options given our location.

Wished there had been a hot tub somewhere to soak in. Limited hours of the fitness center. Nowhere to get a cup of coffee early in the morning prior to restaurants opening. Mixed drinks were average (all-inclusive).

the staff was wonderful and the facilities were very clean

The food wasn’t very good considering the price for all inclusive. there wasn’t much variety either. we stayed at villas del palmar one year and we were expecting that level of food but were disappointed with Velas Vallarta.

The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Pools are fantastic. Staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. Restaurants are pretty good with decent variety and very good service.

Rooms need updating. They are a bit small and run down. Not as nice as other resorts in the same class.

The staff was extremely friendly and very understanding and respectful of our poor Spanish. All the food was excellent. Rooms were clean and cool.

No evening entertainment and lobby bar was only place to get drinks after dinner. Not sure how much of this was due to health safety precautions. Although probably not a con for most people, there were very few locations where we could smoke.

the location is perfect, staff was really nice and the kids club was great for my girls. Food and Service is excellent.

rooms need to be remodel, size are good.
