Hi
Just wondering what this hotel is like? Can you book tours from this hotel? Is the food good,what is the average cost of a meal? Looks like a nice set of pools. We had friends that went to the corona outlet and bought beer then took it down to the pool, is this ok to do.Can you charge food and drinks to your room and pay later? Thanks
Just got back from PV and absolutely loved it. We stayed at Velas and I cannot say enough about the place. Our room was spotless, the grounds are beautiful, the staff was friendly and superb. We were on the AI program because of RCI (mandatory), but we truly had no complaints about the food. Most of the dinners ranged from $18-24 USD at the Andrea Restaurant, and a little less at the seaside Ribiera Restaurant. The most negative thing I can say is the mosquitos in the evening made dining at the Ribiera difficult. Bring lots of Off, and reapply often due to the heat and humidity. Every night the Resort has entertainment in the lobby at 9:30. Always good and fun. I have been in many resorts in my lifetime, and this one is one of my all-time favorites. The staff was more like family. The pools are as nice as the picture and you can swim thru a canal from one pool to the next. There is a travel desk to book tours in the lobby. We went on a Culture and Tequila Tour that was fun and interesting. We did a snorkel trip to the Marietas which was fun, but the snorkeling was not so good, due to the hurricane/tropical storm north in Cabo and Baja. We also did the dolphin swim in
Nuevo Vallarta which was awesome. I booked the last two thru Vallarta Adventures and got a 10% discount on-line. Great company.If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. Adios!
