Beckons you to join us at our wonderful location on the soft, shimmering beaches of Banderas Bay. We are situated very close to the centre of Puerto Vallarta, where the essence of old Mexico still permeates through the cobblestone streets and the surrounding lush, tropical gardens.
The warmest of welcomes awaits you here and our combination of traditional Mexican hospitality and world-class service will entice you back to enjoy the peaceful ambience, the gentle splashing of the waves and the soft breezes drifting through the palm trees filling the air with birdsongs in the background.

Nearby are a 12-person spa tub and a 17-meter long (56-foot) oblong pool flanked by two 3.5-meter-diameter (11-foot) children's pools. In another section of the resort, a 29-meter-long (95-foot) freeform "quiet pool" features a sunbathing island. Adjacent are a 12-person spa tub and a picnic area with complimentary gas barbecue grills.
The resort's frontage on the hotel zone's beach measures 61 meters (200 feet) and includes an offshore trampoline raft. Thatched roof palapas and umbrellas supply shade, and a roped-off section protects sunbathers from being solicited by beach vendors.
