All Inclusive Puerta Vallarta Resort: Velas Vallarta

Just picture it: You’re sitting in a chaise lounge chair on a white sandy beach, cocktail in hand, with the expansive blue ocean just steps away. You are experiencing pure relaxation and zen in one of the most gorgeous destinations in the world. We all need a little bit of that in our lives, right? Velas Vallarta resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico offers you exactly that– absolute bliss. 

An all-inclusive family resort on 10 acres of gorgeous oceanfront property, Velas Vallarta is the perfect destination for a getaway. Whether for a girls trip, a romantic rendezvous, family vacation, or a business retreat, the resort can accommodate any occasion and provide unparalleled service and experiences.

Situated on Puerto Vallarta’s Marina Vallarta beach (a sea turtle nesting ground where we actually saw a sea turtle lay eggs!!), the resort is only minutes from the Marina Vallarta Golf Course and downtown Puerto Vallarta. Because of the resort’s location, guests have access to countless attractions, adventures, and cultural experiences. Nature enthusiasts can book whale watching, sport fishing, bird watching, and dolphin swim excursions. Sightseers can check out El Malecon boardwalk, Los Arcos, the Marietas Islands, and the quaint cobblestone district of downtown Puerto Vallarta. For a taste of culture, there are frequent events and festivals nearby featuring local food, art, and handmade goods. And then our favorite experiences were the ATV Tour through Puerto Vallarta and up into the jungle as well as the Rhythm of The Night Show.

The great thing about an all-inclusive resort is how much you can get out of your stay. At Velas Vallarta, all meals are included as well as 24-hour room service. And, if that wasn’t enough, gym access is offered as well as Kids’ Club activities. For entertainment, there are shows and performances put on nightly for all guests to enjoy. Premium beverages are provided throughout the resort as well as a mini bar in each room that is stocked daily. With tennis courts, basketball courts, and 3 swimming pools, there is no shortage of things to do and ways to fill your vacation days. As an added bonus, the resort offers complimentary daily Happy Hour and a Taco Tasting event held every Saturday. And again, this is all included in the nightly rate!

The resort accommodations are absolutely gorgeous– equipped with every possible thing you would need for the perfect vacation. They offer everything from a studio suite all the way up to a three bedroom family suite. Each room is adorned with traditional Mexican-style decor to really make you feel a part of the culture while visiting. All suites are equipped with a kitchen or kitchenette. With balcony and ocean-front options, you are sure to find a room that suits your own personal level of luxury. There really is an option for every budget. And, every room is sure to impress no matter which one you end up booking! 

For some extra splurging, the resort offers additional excursions and experiences that are sure to make your vacation even more memorable. An interactive salsa and guacamole bar can be arranged for you and your guests to really immerse in the local culture (check out my Instagram for an up close look).

Watersports lovers can even book SCUBA diving lessons through the resort.
