Our Take: The immaculately manicured grounds steal the show at Velas Vallarta. Guests say that peacocks and iguanas roam freely about the property, adding to the resort's tropical aura — but you're still less than 2 miles south of the airport, and within easy reach of El Malecón. However, many guests opt to stay on-site with the peacocks, spending their days lounging by the pool or on the beach. For a heightened sense of relaxation, venture to the spa for a beachfront massage or a beauty treatment. And if you brought your children along, don't worry — they'll have plenty to do at the Kids Club. You can always rendezvous later for a meal at the chic Andrea Restaurant or the beachfront La Ribera Steakhouse. When you're ready to turn in for the day, rest your head in one of Velas Vallarta's 345 suites, which each feature stocked mini-bars, plush beds with goose-down duvets and kitchens or kitchenettes.
