As one of Mexico’s top tourist destinations – second only to Cancun – Puerto Vallarta plays host to visitors looking to escape amidst golden sands and azure surf. Like the destination itself, our Top 10 Puerto Vallarta Resorts list comes with its share of Pacific Coast scenery. All the amenities you could hope for, including private plunge pools and pampering spas. All the Mexican adventures you could wish for, from catamaran sails and snorkel trips on Banderas Bay to exotic jungle trekking and treetop tours. And with a good number of our Puerto Vallarta picks boasting all-inclusive tags, everything from tequila-infused cocktails to under-the-sea delicacies is yours to savor, guilt-free!

In a place where white sand beaches and turquoise waters are a dime a dozen, it can be hard to gain recognition – even when it’s well deserved. Fortunately, Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita defies the odds by transforming too-good-to-be-true into full-fledged reality! Learn More

Terms like “affordable” and “all-inclusive” rarely coexist, but at our No. 2 pick, such words were destined for each other. With a sweet location in the emerald foothills of the Sierra Madres and luxury suites that top even these lofty peaks, Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort is a vacation vision come true! Learn More

Our No. 3 Puerto Vallarta pick boasts a horseshoe shape, but we think a heart-shaped silhouette would be much more fitting. One, for Velas Vallarta’s outstanding ability to capture the hearts of guests young and old; and two, for its designation as an idyllic Puerto Vallarta wedding destination! Learn More

Our next Puerto Vallarta pick is the sister property to our No. 3 spot, Velas Vallarta. These sibling resorts share more than a partial name and spectacular Banderas Bay location; both count unforgettable experiences and memorable Puerto Vallarta vacations among their many amenities! Learn More

Our No. 6 pick is Puerto Vallarta’s newest luxury resort – and chances are this beachfront luxury retreat will quickly scale the ranks to join Mexico’s finest. For those who hold privacy at a premium, you won’t find a more secluded escape than Vallarta Gardens Resort and Spa! Learn More

What’s in a name? When your Puerto Vallarta vacation brings you to a resort bearing the Westin crest, you can rest assured that inimitable hospitality, style and luxury wait just beyond the door. And when this hotel chain’s moniker is followed by the words “Puerto Vallarta,” a generous measure of white sands and palm trees is most certainly in store! Learn More

With all the luxury and amenities of a five-star resort, plus the privacy and seclusion of a beachfront villa, our No. 8 pick strikes a balance between the best of both worlds on your Puerto Vallarta vacation.

The all-you-can-eat mentality of a Mexico all-inclusive. The luxury you’d expect from the Puerto Vallarta outpost of Barceló Hotels.
