"A 165-room resort perched for spectacular views of the Bay of Banderas and the jungle‑covered Sierra Madre mountains, with three pools (two at the beach and one between the property and its adults-only sister hotel) and a small white-sand shoreline that allows guests to launch kayaks directly from the sand. The property places families at the doorstep of hiking trails, nature activities, and adventure-based offerings; staff can help point guests toward local trails and excursions. The resort does not have a dedicated kids club, but families who enjoy spending time together with plentiful onsite activities will feel at home; a new shopping village between this property and its sister hotel features locally sourced boutiques, a vintage-inspired carousel, and restaurants. Distance to Puerto Vallarta airport is 10 miles; Wi‑Fi and gratuities are included. Rates start at $527." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.
