Vellas Vallarta was truly excellent.
The staff at Velas Vallarta was top rate. Friendly. Well spoken in English but encouraging in Spanish. eager to make the stay pleasent and comfortable.
The grounds are beautiful and VERY relaxing. it felt nearly empty.
Our room was comfortable. Beds were okay, not great, but not bad. Pillows were not hypoallergenic. Overall the rooms are due for a makeover.
The food was all good, on occasion great, and never bad. Not a lot of vegetarian options. Vegetarians: be sure to ask, many dishes cooked with lard etc..
Their mixed drinks are a mixed review. If you call the liquor, they are fine but the well liquor options are terrible. The margaritas were all good.
There was a little shop onsite for souvenirs, over priced.
The hotel is about 40 minute by taxi to downtown. shopping: Mercado municipal or market stalls on island in the rio cuale.
for pottery: “señor Talavera” at hildago and encino en la espuina. Same prices as elsewhere but much nicer stuff.
We didn’t try the spa or use any other services or excursions. Skip the “welcome package” it’s a time share promo.
At the airport, keep your head down until you can see the outside. Don’t talk to anyone after customs and baggage, they just want to sign you up for timeshare demos.
All in, great trip, I would definitely return to Velas Vallarta!! The staff and atmosphere more than make up for the minor setbacks and aging rooms.
