Velas Vallarta

A wonderful place to stay!! We came for a quick relaxing trip with another couple. Highly recommend Velas! The food and service were excellent! Edwin served us at the beach everyday and was extremely attentive and kind! Loves that we could order from a menu and/or eat from the buffet. Can’t wait to come back again!

Arriving at Velas Vallarta, we were immediately greeted by the friendly bellmen saying “Welcome Home”! I had messaged our amazing wedding coordinator Michele Tanc that I was on my way to the resort from the airport and she was there to greet me with a big hug. Judith our rooms coordinator also came out to say hello. Next the most wonderful Hotel Manager in the whole world (in my opinion but it’s so true!) Juan Carlos came out to say hello and made sure we felt welcomed at his beautiful resort. We had a group of 25 family and friends coming in for our 25th anniversary celebration. Michele our coordinator is very good at what she does. She made all the planning so easy and if we needed something, she made it happen. The whole day she spent with us all the way till the end of the event. She is my hero. We had a beautiful cocktail hour after our rehearsal with mariachi trio. Antonio is the best bartender and he took such great care of us, David the banquet captain and his team made sure the drinks were replenished quickly and that we were all taken care of with the yummy food. They were with us for our 25th event too which made it so nice. Antonio was our event bartender (you can also catch him bartending at the swim up bar). We worked with Oliver for the entertainment and he picked the perfect Cuban quartet salsa band to keep us dancing on our feet! I didn’t want the night to end 😔. It was perfect! We spent the whole week at this resort and have so many to thank for making it an amazing week! Thank you La Ribera’s 2 Cristina’s! These 2 ladies go above and beyond and truly care about you and your experience. Thank you La Ribera night manager Jesus and the Chef who came out to talk to us about the menu for the rehearsal dinner! It was such a nice evening you had planned for us! Andrea’s restaurant manager Omar - my other hero! Servers Raul, Ricardo and Hector. Pool servers - Rogelio(keep that smile going! You make everyone feel like family. Ivan and Edwin too. Entertainment Cristian for helping me surprise my friend Sal with the mariachis on Sunday night. All of my family and friends loved it here! If anyone has any questions regarding having an event here, please feel free to reach out to me. I am beyond grateful for all the staff at Velas Vallarta and can’t wait to come back “Home” hopefully each year to visit them ❤️

My mother and I just spent a wonderful week at Velas Vallarta. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and you truly feel like you’re in a tropical paradise when lounging at the pool. What made the experience even better was the exceptional staff. We had the best experience at the pool with Victor Lopez who made sure we had everything we could want or need and who always showed up with the warmest friendliest smile everyday. I can’t wait to return!

Review for Velas Vallarta Resort ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our wedding at Velas Vallarta was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the remarkable staff and our amazing coordinator, Michele! From beginning to end, every detail was carefully handled, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry. Michele was a true lifesaver. She acted as our brain on the wedding day, keeping track of everything so we could stay focused on each other and our guests. She reminded me of my bouquet, made sure guests were seated on time, and handled any small issues that came up. Her dedication and expertise made the day feel seamless. The entire team at Velas Vallarta made us feel like VIPs, constantly going out of their way to create a warm, welcoming experience. Throughout the resort, everyone remembered us and our guests, greeting us with congratulations before, during, and even after the wedding. The staff at the Andrea restaurant often greeted our guests by name, which added such a special, personal touch. The wait staff was exceptional—always attentive and checking to see if we needed anything. They even brought water to me on the dance floor, which was such a thoughtful gesture! They also went above and beyond for my mom, accommodating her dietary restrictions with a customized meal just for her. One of the highlights for me was the flowers. I had requested hydrangeas, which can be tough to keep fresh, but they looked amazing and held up beautifully. My bouquet stayed picture-perfect for days afterward, which was such a delight. Lastly, a special thank you to the salon team, who saved the day by fixing my mom’s nails on our wedding day at no charge. This last-minute gesture showed just how much they cared and made us feel so valued. Thank you, Velas Vallarta, for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more! We truly felt like VIPs, and every moment was filled with care and joy.

Excellent service all around. Waiters went above and beyond to be accommodating and always extremely welcoming. Victor, Leonardo, Christian, Morgan, Roger in particular were superb! Highly recommend Velas Vallarta! Hope to make this an annual event!
