Counts and access can vary by source and room tier.
Beach
StrongThe resort sits inland, so beach access is via the Tau Beach Club, reached by a short walk or complimentary shuttle. Tau itself is gorgeous, with its own pool, restaurant, and sunset views that regulars build their evenings around.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Tau Beach Club with private pool and restaurant
- Short shuttle or walkable access
- Sunset dinners on the sand
- Attentive beach club staff (Eric, Antonio, Enrique)
Heads up

Not beach‑front, but provides VIP access via shuttle to Táu Beach Club with beach, pool, jacuzzi and full service bar and restaurant.
Pools
StandoutThe pool is the beating heart of Casa Velas: large, quiet, ringed with Bali beds, and staffed by a bartender crew (Avalos, Ulises, Ramon, Antonio) who guests name-check obsessively. Service is anticipatory rather than transactional.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Bali beds and plentiful chairs
- Legendary pool bar team (Avalos, Ulises, Ramon)
- Adults-only calm, no chaos
- Drinks arrive before you ask
One outdoor pool with swim‑up aqua bar on property and access to Táu Beach Club pool and jacuzzi; atmosphere is serene and romantic.

Amenities & activities
Couples
IdealAn adults-only boutique built for couples who want intimacy over spectacle, with staff who remember your name by day two. Weddings and anniversaries land beautifully here, and repeat couples returning after a decade tells the story.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Adults-only, intimate 80-room scale
- Popular wedding venue
- Personalized service that recognizes returning guests
- Serene, private atmosphere
Families
Not a fitAdults-only, so nobody under 18. The whole appeal here is the absence of screaming kids and chaos.
high confidence
Heads up
- Adults-only property
- No kids club or children's programming
- Quiet vibe not suited to family energy
Peace & Quiet
StandoutThis is the quiet luxury pick in Puerto Vallarta: no loud music, no crowds, just calm gardens and a peaceful pool. If you want a party, you'll need to head to the sister Velas Vallarta or off property.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- No loud music or DJ scene
- Boutique 80-room scale keeps crowds down
- Serene gardens and tranquil pool
- Nightly live music at dinner only
Heads up
- Too sleepy for guests wanting nightlife
- Limited on-site entertainment after dinner
Spa with hydrotherapy circuit, fitness center, yoga and golf privileges, beauty salon, boutique, concierge and shuttle services, eco‑friendly setting amid botanical gardens.

What past guests say
“Casa Velas Aug. 1-6, 2026 After numerous visits here, I must say it is the one consistent, simply the best, adults only, all inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta. It is what I would call my second home. Casa Velas is a boutique resort with only 80 rooms surrounded by lush vegetation and a golf course. It is a tranquil experience, like being at an exclusive club. It is modern yet maintains the Mexican Hacienda charm. Our room was lovely, with a dining area perfect for room service meals or...”
