No kids, adults only!!!
I think you can go on their site Grupo Velas Hotels & Resorts and then find Casa velas and then I think some of menus are on site....
I put a review on here....this is our second trip there and won't be our last....
I think we paid $150 per day AI per person and got every penny worth...we have gone out to restaurants in PV and spent on dinner more than $100. a couple and not had as good service nor food....and you never know....what you may be getting...plus you pay for water, soda and such all day and drinks all night... it adds up real quick , unless you are seeking out the cheaper places which is fine, but say a cheap margarita, it does not have good tequila and I specify no matter the drink, what type of tequila I want. You can go out in PV and pay $10. for a margarita which is made with cheap tequila....hmm..
They also have a beach club with Asian food and the shrimp tempura was to die for.....that is for lunch then we also dined at night under our own cabana overlooking beach there....very romantic...and you can go over to their sister resort Club Velas where we also love and eat at all the restaurants their as well as use their facilities and partake of their shows at night, and they give you a free shuttle over...
Yup, it is expensive and you can do it cheaper, but for a special occassion or such..this was wonderful.....Oh did I say I do not cook on vacation with hubby and I like to be pampered when on vacation...LOL...spoiled....Next up....Grand Velas and they are even more...but only one time....
The Palace resorts AI is also quite steep but we liked that as well in Playacar Palace, although it was not as fancy food as Casa velas....which is gourmet...
You either like AI's or not, we go to PV all the time so it is perfect for us as we have been out enough and seen enough...LOL..also in AI you get what you pay for....buffet meals are cheaper than sit down etc....
Either way Casa velas is worth a try one time....or a few times cause once you go...well you will go back....LOL
