Pros: Staff and coordinator were extremely helpful and took care of every detail. The location was unbelievable!
Cons: Additional costs added up to be significant.
Overall I cannot say enough great things about our wedding at Las Caletas. When half of the guests at your wedding come to you and tell you that your wedding was the best wedding they have every been to, you know you have done something right. From the first time my husband and I step foot on the property we knew that it would be perfect. Our amazing coordinator, Dennise was in large to thank for the smooth execution of the entire event, she was fantastic. Starting with the location, it is unbe

Cons: Problems with transportation and no space provided for groom and groomsmen to get ready
Hi Everyone,
We had our wedding at Las Caletas on November 21, 2012. It was absolutely beautiful!!! We had 51 guests join us and we stayed the week at the Barcelo in Puerto Vallarta. I would recommend the Barcelo to anyone looking for a resort, it is located in a great spot and perfect for families and single adults. The rooms are the best I have ever stayed in and the grounds are lush and well maintained. Everyone in our group had an awesome vacation. The only negative would be t

Pros: Everything! From the food to the location, the staff, drinks and service were all more than we could have hoped for!
Cons: Honestly cannot think of any.
Wedding Coordinator/Communication
Dennise was our wedding coordinator, and I had been emailing with her for about one to two months leading up to the wedding, settling all of the details for our big day. She answered all of my questions, always within a few days. She provided an Adventure Weddings PDF and a Word document with questions, and we replied back and forth in the Word document. We were pretty easy going on what we wanted, but I think if you have specific ideas, they would be

We got married June 16, 2012! I can’t say enough about Las Caletas. Pictures don’t do it justice! It’s absolutely beautiful!! It’s everything I thought it would be plus some.
Boat ride over:
The boat ride over was very smooth. We met at the terminal at 830 where we met up with Annie. Annie is so sweet and very helpful. She took our belongings and decorations and hung everything up for us. The ride over went smoothly! We sat on the top deck which got a little hot after a while. I recommend

Pros: Lush, tropical beauty, attentive and professional staff, great food,
Cons: communication could have been better and some of the pricing got a little frustrating
As soon as my husband and I found pictures and reviews of las Caletas we were sold! I never wavered in my belief that this was going to be a beautiful and perfect location for a wedding and I was definitely proved right! I can not imagine a more magical place to get married. And the staff are absolute professionals at what they do. They do a lot of weddings and it shows in how totally seamless everything was. Amazing! I have to admit that I got a little worried and frustrated in the weeks leadin

Wedding Day – 6/26/2012
Wedding Coordinators
A few days before the wedding, Annie came to our hotel and we met her for the first time. She was so sweet and brought her computer and some things to show me. We went through the whole day from start to finish and asked her all the questions at that point. I felt really good about everything after that meeting. She even said she would make my flower cones for me! All we had to do was tape them shut, and they did that on the day of the

Hello
I just got back from my wedding and honeymoon and thought I would give a little review, our wedding took place May 26th 2012 at Las Caletas, hope this helps :)
Like others I too started out with Kelley as my coordinator and was sad to see her go, I then began to work with both Denise and Annie and they seemed to pick things up right where we left off so the transition was very smooth. Denise was wonderful with communication, she provided very clear answers to all my questio

Pros: Everything. Unbelievable.
Cons: Slideshow music didn't pan out.
Hi Everyone,
Here is a recap and review of my wedding at Las Caletas which took place on May 8 - enjoy!
I had planned my wedding for a very long time (2 year engagement), so most of my planning had been done with the former coordinator, Kelley Kahrhoff. She was truly amazing - we formed an incredible bond/friendship over our year plus of communications, so I was truly devastated when she left. She is the kind of coordinator who really cares about YOUR day - not just the general weddings

OMG! I just want to go back!
1. I woke up early to meet my two bridesmaids, aunts, and mother at our hotel lobby. We loaded our transportation and headed over to the Nuevo Vallarta Adventures Office. Anne was there to greet us and we enjoyed a light continental breakfast. Anne walked with me to the boat and let me hang my dress and store our luggage in a safe spot before anyone else got on the boat. She also let us board the boat before anyone else so we had prime seats over to the islan

Ok.... where to begin :) lol Las Caletas was amazing.... AMAZING!!!!
Myself, 3 bridesmaids and 2 moms headed over the Marina at 8:20 the morning of and were greeted right away by Annie. We got to board the catamaran first before the other tourist, which was a huge plus means there was a disney cruise in port and TONS of people going over the LC. We had some "breakfast" on the boat ride over and then got first dibs on having massages once we arrived. The massages were amazing, all my girl

Pros: Decor/Setup/Food/DJ
Ok So here we go. I will say that our wedding was absolutely spectacular! It was exactly how I would've imagined. Very long detailed review ahead, and sorry in advance that I hop around in review.
To Start My 5 Bms and I left our hotel DreamsPV around 7:45am and made it to the maritime Terminal by 8:15am. It was very easy to locate Vallarta Adventures , here We met with WC Annie who was very pleasant from the bat.(She would be with me until Denise my actual WC would arrive around 2pm.)

Pros: KELLEY and LOCATION
Cons: DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ
LC was a great and beautiful place to get married when I got married November 13th 2011. Now that Kelley is gone, from the changes I have heard about I would not choose to get married there now. I would for sure find a different location with Kelley’s new company. When I did my site visit with Kelley months before the wedding she took me to a few other location choices as my mother is a travel agent and has other brides wanting to book. Those locations were amazing and I would go there purely ba

Pros: Beautiful setting, privacy, food, beverages, STUNNING
Cons: None
When my husband and I were engaged we knew that we wanted to have a destination wedding. Privacy was something that was of major importance to us so we knew that we could not have a “resort” style wedding. We decided to go with Las Caletas after reading the discussions and reviews posted on this website. Our wedding took place on December 30,2011 and it was absolutely amazing. Many of our family members and friends exclaimed that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to!

Pros: Scenery, detail, uniqueness, memories created
Cons: Far from home but worth the trip
My husband and I decided to choose Las Caletas as our wedding location due to it's pure beauty. Once we discovered this location (via BDW), we saw the few photos posted and personal reviews from past brides...we were sold. How many times in your life will you get to have a chance to be married in such an amazingly unique setting? We jumped on the opportunity.
Kelley, the Vallarta Adventures wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing. She is a true pro at this and could probably plan

Pros: Gorgeous, unique, top notch coordinator/staff, amazing food
Cons: nada---besides the fact I can't get married there every day!
My husband and I got married on May 29, 2011 at this magical place. We had about 40-45 guests. It was beyond perfection. We chose the platinum package and it was well worth it. My bridesmaids and I came over early during the day on a boat with Brad, who is the officiant (who also wears many other hats). Pulling up to this private cove was simply serene and emotional. I had not visited the place before hand and so to see it in person, after being obsessed with it from far away for about 12 months

Pros: Attention to detail, total privacy- stress free
Cons: NONE
Here is my full review of Vallarta Adventures, Puerto Vallarta and Las Caletas
Puerto Vallarta
Super safe, great restaurants (Victor's, Daiquiri Dicks, River Cafe)
Westin Hotel
Me and all my guests stayed at the Westin. Gabriel is the manager of the group reservations department and he was wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond for us and took care of anything we needed. The rooms are beautiful and all have a great view. The pool bar was amazing. The s

Pros: Completely Private, Gorgeous setting, Great Coordinator
Overall - A++++++++++++++
Truly amazing experience from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for more in any way!! I want to do it every year now!
Kelley (Wedding Coordinator) - A+
Kelley was amazing from the moment we met. We talked via email a few times last January and got the site booked after a few questions were answered easily. We then went on a site inspection in Feb 2010. Kelley met us at the marina and was our hostess for the day trip to LC. She talked us through

Pros: private, great view, wedding coordinator, unique
Cons: pain to get to if you don't like boats
Overall ~ A++++++++++++ This A+ grade applies to EVERYTHING about my Las Caletas wedding – I can’t give it a high enough grade. I am going to warn you, you are going to get sick of me raving about this wedding, and all of the people that helped to make it happen. Amazing, fabulous – it was a million times better than I could have ever hoped. What sucked is that I was sick – I didn’t feel good starting on Thursday evening, the night before, and am almost back to 100% the day after the wedding. Pa
