The luxury of Casa Velas Hotel Boutique might be a surprise to many. Hidden away just back from the ocean, the tranquillity and intimacy of the property together with the superb facilities make this a welcome change from the high rise hotel zone.

The Casa Velas Hotel Boutique is a luxury all-inclusive property with an excellent restaurant. All meals are served a la carte. Guest also have the option of eating at the hotel's private beachclub or at the restaurants at the nearby Velas Vallarta.

The private Beach Club, has an infinity pool, restaurant and air-conditioned TV lounge. Shuttle service is provided to the Club, but it's within walking distance along mostly flat terrain. Stay in one of the big "beachfront" all-inclusive resorts and you might have to walk just as far to the ocean.

For golf lovers, the advantages of its location directly between the 1st and 18th holes of one of the area's finest courses are undeniable. Sport lovers will also appreciate the well equipped fitness center, tennis and volleyball courts.

For a romantic break, leave the golf clubs behind and take a look at some of the indulgent suites on offer.

We particularly recommend the wonderful Grand Class suites with their double sized Jacuzzi tubs or plunge pools and beautifully furnished sitting areas, or the spacious Royal suites which have both a plunge pool and a Jacuzzi.

The adults-only policy means that the hotel maintains an intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

We recommend the Casa Velas Hotel Boutique to those looking for elegant and distinctive accommodations away from the crowds.
