One of the best perks of staying at Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta is having exclusive access to local Taú Beach Club. Located minutes from the hotel, guests can hop in the complimentary shuttle and indulge in a day of relaxation.

During the day at Taú Beach Club, travelers can take in views of the ocean and mountains while soaking up the Mexican sun and relaxing by the ocean or infinity pool. By the pool, you can lounge under an umbrella or out in the sun while relaxing on the plush lounge chairs. Throughout the day, you can order drinks, snacks or a poolside meal from the comfort of your lounge chair. If you get hot, take a dip in the infinity pool where you can lounge in the in-pool tanning chairs, enjoy ocean views from the pool’s ledge or take a dip in the attached Jacuzzi. Don’t worry, you don’t have to leave your drink behind; it can come to the pool with you!

You can also walk down the beach for a swim in the ocean. When you come back up, there is a little shower area to rinse the sand off your feet.

If you want to relax closer to the ocean, head down to the sand for luscious, cabana-style day beds. From there, catch some waves in the ocean or pop up to the pool.

The beach club also offers tables where guests can sit down and enjoy a full meal for lunch. The restaurant is outdoors, so you can still soak up the beach views. You can also use your all-inclusive accommodations for lunch and poolside snacks and drinks.

At night, Taú turns into the prime dining spot for a delicious meal and unbeatable views of the sunset. For those looking for a venue for special events, birthday dinners, private dinners, anniversary celebrations and more can be booked.
