Casa Velas Boutique Hotel

The Resort & Setting

Casa Velas Boutique Hotel is a boutique-style timeshare property in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco — independently run but affiliated with RCI for exchange purposes. Rather than the large-scale, all-in-one resort format common along this stretch of coast, Casa Velas positions itself around smaller-scale, more personal hospitality: fewer units, closer attention to guests, and a layout that feels more like a boutique hotel than a resort complex. For owners, this means a week here typically suits travellers who want a quieter base in Puerto Vallarta rather than a resort with extensive on-site entertainment.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area & Things To Do

Puerto Vallarta sits on Banderas Bay, one of Mexico's most photographed stretches of Pacific coastline, and the resort is close to the beach itself, along with the bay's water sports, boat trips and seasonal whale watching (December to April). The historic Zona Romántica, with its cobblestone streets, galleries and seafood restaurants, is a short taxi or rideshare ride away and easy to explore on foot once you're there. Further south, Mismaloya Beach offers a jungle-backed cove worth a half-day trip, while Puerto Vallarta International Airport keeps the whole area well connected for owners flying in from the US, Canada or further afield.

Selling Or Renting A Week Here

Casa Velas Boutique Hotel is an independent resort, so resale and transfer here go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded timeshare chain's central office. If you're selling, list your week privately on BidMyTimeshare: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and you pay only a one-time listing fee — no commission is taken from your sale. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what transfer fee applies and what the current annual maintenance fee is, since these figures aren't published by the resort itself and vary by unit and season. Ask the resort to confirm in writing exactly what the buyer will receive — the specific week, unit type, and RCI exchange eligibility — and how long the ownership transfer typically takes to process, so the timeline is clear for both parties before any money changes hands.

If you're renting out your week instead of selling, be upfront with guests about what's included (dates, unit category, and whether RCI exchange privileges travel with a rental, since they usually don't). Renters tend to look for clear proximity to the beach and historic centre, a realistic description of the boutique-style accommodation, and confirmation of exactly which week or season they're booking.

RCI Exchange Access

Because Casa Velas Boutique Hotel is RCI-affiliated, owners can deposit their week into the RCI exchange network for a stay at another RCI resort elsewhere, or host incoming RCI exchange guests at Casa Velas. RCI has operated since 1974 and lists resorts in more than 140 countries, so this gives owners a reason to hold onto a week even if they don't plan to use Puerto Vallarta every year. Exchange availability depends on demand and how far ahead you book, so owners planning to trade their week should contact RCI directly for current terms.

Practical Notes For Buyers And Sellers

Puerto Vallarta runs on a fairly predictable seasonal pattern: December through April is peak season with the best weather and highest demand, the April–May and September–November shoulder periods offer a good balance of pleasant weather and smaller crowds, and May–October is the rainier (but quieter and cheaper) stretch. Buyers weighing a resale week should factor this into which weeks are more in demand for renting out afterwards, and sellers should clearly state the season of their week in their listing, since it materially affects what a buyer or renter is willing to pay.
