velas vallarta was nice but I agree the all inclusive price was just that pricey. I didn't like the fact that you didn't have a mini bar in your room. If you wanted liquor you had to go to the bars which to me was inconvenient. I am not much of a drinker but when I wanted a drink having to run all the way from the room to the pool bar was the pits.
We traded in to the Velas a few years back, and, even though the AI was steep we really enjoyed ourselves. Several times when we wanted a nice bottle of wine before dinner I went to the restaurant "wine cellar" and picked out what I wanted... no questions asked. Also, when I caught a nice sailfish the chef allowed me to hard freeze the meat I was to ship home later in the sub-zero kitchen freezer!
I asked about trading again just last year, but the AI fee for us (Mayan Palace owners) was set at $150/day! I couldn't justify it. Oh, well... I was told that Velas owners only pay $75!!!
