Located along Mexico’s Pacific Coast, Puerto Vallarta offers a one-stop vacation hub: nice beaches, a walkable downtown, plenty of nightlife and a fun boardwalk. The lodging options are plentiful, too, with an emphasis on all-inclusive resorts. Here are five great places to stay right on the beach in Puerto Vallarta.
Velas Vallarta (Av Paseo de la Marina Nte 585, Marina Vallarta; 52-322-226-8673) Puerto Vallarta
“Nightly entertainment, beautifully landscaped grounds, and family-friendly residences with kitchenettes make this the perfect all-inclusive option for larger groups,” writes Travel+Leisure of this 345-suite resort overlooking Banderas Bay. Suites come with fully equipped kitchens, living and dining areas, and furnished balconies. A Tripadvisor user likes that there are “lots of a la cart food choices in additional to buffet. Nice beach and pool. Ten-minute walk to the main drag and less than 10 minutes from the airport.” >> Book this hotel for less
Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta (Garza Blanca Preserve, Carretera a Barra de Navidad KM 7.5; 52-800-931-4613) Puerto Vallarta
If you’re traveling without the kids, this adults-only, all-inclusive South Zone hotel is the “ultimate couples retreat,” writes Travel+Leisure, adding that it has “spectacular coastal vistas, bold contemporary design, and rooftop infinity pools. It’s a 10-minute walk to the beach, but not to worry — there’s also complimentary transportation.” Indeed, a Google reviewer writes that “there is a frequent trolley that takes you to Garza Blanca resort where you can access their restaurants and the beach and water activities. Make sure to request a higher floor and the South Tower, as it felt like it had better views.” >> Book this hotel for less
Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta (Carretera Costera a Barra de Navidad Sur, Km. 3.5; 52- 322-226-5000) Puerto Vallarta
This family-friendly Hyatt Ziva features a private beach, seven pools, swim-up suites, and a kids club. “While active guests can enjoy entertainment by the pool and recreational pursuits like tennis and beach volleyball,” writes US News & World Report, “R&R-seekers can get replenished with rejuvenating treatments at the spa or tequila tastings led by a sommelier.” A Google reviewer writes that “they offer free kayaking and boogie boards, or paid parasailing, wave runners and water tours. The food was overall good but our group did have to wait to get served at the restaurants.” >> Book this hotel for less
