The Best Hotels in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
"Casa Velas provides the aesthetic and feel of a gated community with the amenities and services of a luxury hotel. The property looks like an hacienda, with winding rows of pale yellow casitas housing each of the sophisticated, traditional suites. The design and decor are charmingly Mexican, with many original pieces commissioned from area artists. The energy is mellow at all hours; During the day, wellness experiences like yoga, meditation, and mixing your own herbal tea in the garden greenhouse offer a welcome change of pace from poolside lounging. In the evenings, there’s easy entertainment, including a sunset violinist and acrobatic dances to opera. It’s virtually never crowded, as even during high season occupancy hovers around 30%. It’s easy to feel like the gorgeous grounds belong to you."
