I strongly suggest that you use the safe deposit boxes in the lobby. Also, learn to use the bus to go downtown. It is cheap and leaves from the front of the hotel.

We just got back from the Velas Vallarta and had an overall good experience. We had a 2 bedroom suite overlooking the pools with a view of the ocean. Beds were incredibly comfortable, pillows were some of the best I've ever slept on, which I really appreciate! Linens were top of line and pristine. Overall cleanliness was excellent. Loved ...

This resort is outstanding - from the first step onto the property to the last step off the property - it couldn't be better!
The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are very tropical, the pools are huge and inviting. The food is great and the drinks are awesome. The beds are so comfortable, its hard to get yourself out of them in the ...

The grounds are beautiful. The pools are great. Good food and drinks! Drinks are a heavy pour. The staff are wonderful. We were given the wrong room and they "bent over backwards" to accomodate our request. We were moved the very next morning to a room with a great view. Try to get a room in Bldg 3 (South side of complex) on an ...

Sevice terrible, food yuck, pool side service wonderful. Nightlife none, switched room 3 times. Brekfast was the best meal of the day. Do not do the all inclusive.

I did like the fact that the staff are friendly and very accomodating. Food was so so. The ambiance of the place was the best.

What I hated most was the fact that they have to push you to attend this timeshare sales pitch.

This resort is fantastic! They have a very clean and well kept resort and are very helpful. The beds are comfortable and the food is the best quality.

The resort itself seems to be favored slighty more by those over 50, which worked great for me as it meant it wasn't a noise experience getting a suntan.

Velas Vallarta is by far one of the best resorts I have ever styed at. The staff were extremely friendly and polite. I spent hours at the pool and never got bored...the Activities Directors rock! Both restaurants had great food (try the Nachoes at the pool side bar, and the breakfast in the morning is delicious), and the daily drink specials ...

My father has a condo at Vela Vallarta and so I get the chance to visit often. The experience is just wonderful... I have met some wonderful people and experienced a piece of paradise. If you get the chance, make sure you get a back massage on the beach. It was out of this world. -Ashley
