It's the staff that makes Casa Velas one of the top rated places in PV. They will do everything in their power to make your stay enjoyable. We had a couple minor hiccups in our first full day there, and the staff went above and beyond to address them. If you have any issues or requests, just ask the staff.
The drinks are very good. Margs and mojitos are top notch. If you're a bourbon drinker, they only have Jack Daniels and Jim Beam, but they do have good scotch and high-end gins, vodkas, and rums. If you want something not on the drink menu--jusk ask. If you want a Grand Marnier floater on your margarita--just ask. If you want a drink the second you sit down in a cabana or at the lobby bar, just go up to the bar to order your drink. Otherwise you may have to wait a bit.
The food is good. If you want a different side than your entree comes with--just ask. It took us a day to figure out that the food menu they give you in the beach cabanas is not the full menu they serve there. Go up to the dining area in the beach club to see the full menu. The sesame tuna ceviche was a highlight. Be sure to do at least one dinner at the beach club for the sunset (and lobster tail).
As other reviewers have noted, it's quiet at Casa Velas. This is not the place for you if you're there to party. It is the place to relax and chill.
Tip: if you think you're not getting hot water in your shower, turn it the other way and wait a couple minutes. It comes out colder at first before it gets hot.
