The Best Hotels in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

"The Marriott Puerto Vallarta is a reliable choice that has everything you might want out of a beachfront resort: a lively swim-up bar, above-average dining, a kids club for the youngsters, and a spa worth writing home about. The crowd is diverse, with couples and families of all ages, plus conferences and groups, but what’s telling is how every type of person seems to genuinely enjoy themselves—staff included. Some of the property’s unique highlights include its “Gourmet Moments” tasting menu meals, an on-site tequila sommelier, and a spa treatment meant to mimic returning to your mother’s womb. A massive renovation this summer, including a new pool area and fresh restaurants, will keep this well-loved hotel from feeling stale."
