Puerto Vallarta’s Leading Hotel

Dec 30, 2006

Casa Velas Hotel Boutique joins the exclusive membership of The Leading Small Hotels of the World as the only member in Puerto Vallarta.

Opened November 2005, Casa Velas is a deluxe all-inclusive boutique hotel located on one of the destination's leading 18-hole golf courses.

The Leading Small Hotels of the World is a branch of the larger Leading Hotels of the World which has been representing the world's finest hotels and resorts for more than seven decades. To be awarded the prestigious honor of membership, applicants must first pass a rigorous inspection, based on 1,500 criteria and reporting on all aspects affecting guest comfort and convenience.

Spa Casa Velas was also admitted to the ranks of Leading Spas of the World, which created the first-ever global certification standard for spa excellence and represents five-star resort spas, city/urban spas and destination spas worldwide.
"It's a tremendous honor to have Casa Velas, as well as Spa Casa Velas, admitted to these very distinguished groups,” said Luis Angarita, director general of Casa Velas Hotel Boutique. "We have a high standard of excellence and we're proud to be recognized for it by one of the most prestigious organizations in the world.”

The adults-only Casa Velas sitson the greens of Marina Vallarta's 18-hole golf course, just minutes away from the beach, with its own private beach club. Casa Velas also offers golf privileges at two other top 18-hole golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf 20 minutes away.

The hotel features 80 suites, some with private pools, and all with Bulgari amenities. Another hotel highlight is the Wellness Spa/Medi Holiday program, which offers an in-house nutritionist and cardiologist for a total health assessment.
The spa also encompasses five treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy area, a fitness gym and a beauty salon. Emiliano's a la carte restaurant is at the hands of one of the area's leading chefs serving Mexican and international cuisine.

Casa Velas is located five minutes from Puerto Vallarta Airport and 15 minutes from the popular downtown area, art galleries and "El Malecon” (the boardwalk).
