    Vela was outstanding from start to finish. The restaurant was beautiful next door to a gorgeous infinity edge pool. Every team member provided excellent service. The food was fresh and delicious and the servers were well-versed on all aspects of their offerings. Easily accommodated my GF allergy. Would highly recommend.

    Fabulous! Do not hesitate! Just go! The Stracitella salad, Fruta di Mare and Spaghetti Carbonara were outstanding! And the bread! And the tiramisu for dessert and coffee served with a tiny biscotti and the chocolate truffles not to mention a special chocolate dessert for our anniversary. Just unreal. Thank you Diego, Eduardo and Manager Jorge for a spectacular anniversary dinner! See you tomorrow for another night for an encore!

    Great setting, convenient when you’re on the property but I wouldn’t return. I feel for the price there’s better you can venture off to in the area. $22 for a glass of $9 wine is wild.

    Vela was one of the most incredible restaurants we have ever enjoyed. The food, service, and view were amazing. The whole experience was next to perfection! Our servers Diego and Jahir were so genuinely gracious and attentive. Our five course meal was delectable and satisfying in every way. To top everything off, the ambience was soothing and magical as we dined poolside overlooking the ocean with the full moon winking at us! We look forward to returning next year. Terry W
