During my recent visit to Puerto Vallarta, I had the opportunity to visit many resorts. Among those were the Casa Velas and the Villa Premiere. Both resorts are adults only, all-inclusive. Villa Premiere also has an EP (no meals or beverages included) option, as well. Both are small resorts with 80 rooms or so. This contributes to the intimate ambiance! No kids contribute to the romantic feel of the resort!!
Casa Velas, although not on the beach, has a wonderful Beach Club just a short distance away. Transportation is provided to the beach club which has its own pool, lovely beach, terrace & indoor lounging area. If you are planning a small wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Casa Velas Beach Club is the ideal venue. Very small, very private! Catering can be arranged through the hotel, as well, for a lovely sunset reception!
All of the rooms at Casa Velas are suites, with 24 hour room service and a fully stocked (and re-stocked daily) mini-bar. Some of the suites do offer a plunge pool or a Jacuzzi. One of the suites, a 4 bedroom suite, actually has its own swimming pool, along with sleeping accommodations for 8 people! Great for that extended family vacation. Each of the bedrooms has a private bath, along with a powder room off the living room.
There are 2 ala carte restaurants available, which do require dinner reservations. No worries, though, the resort is small, so you should have no trouble securing a table!
For those who just can’t leave the office at home, the Casa Velas offers a business center and WIFI throughout the property. However, if relaxing is more your way of vacationing, the pool is beautiful with lots of lounge chairs, a great spa is available for that couples massage, and discounts for the nearby golf course are available. To keep in shape, lighted tennis courts and a gym are waiting!
Villa Premiere is a lovely small, beach resort, not far from the town of Puerto Vallarta. For that reason, some guests prefer to do the EP and skip the inclusive meals and beverages. They feel there are just too many great restaurants in Puerto Vallarta to be missed. Others love the all-inclusive program and not having to worry about the cost of meals and drinks. It’s totally a personal choice. The all-inclusive program does offer 24 hour rooms service and a fully stocked mini bar. The mini bar is still available to EP guests, but a charge applies for each item consumed. The same with room service, it is available for EP but with a charge.
Again the Villa Premiere is a small, adults’ only resort, with a great beach. Each room, except for the entry level, has a Jacuzzi tub! In the Spa Rooms, which are near the Spa (obviously), you will receive a free pedicure or a complimentary massage. How great is that? The Master Suite has the most amazing wrap around terrace! The view is spectacular and great for a small dinner party or family gathering.
Three ala carte restaurants are available for your dining pleasure. And pleasure it is! They have the most amazing dinner rolls….with cream cheese centers! The food and service at Villa Premiere is fantastic.
