VAMAR VALLARTA ALL INCLUSIVE MARINA & BEACH RESORT, Puerto Vallarta

The hotel offers rooms with balconies facing the marina or the pools. Some rooms include a kitchen area, though these are not equipped with refrigerators or microwaves. Guests seeking more space can book a Villa Suite on the ocean side, which includes a separate living area.

The all-inclusive plan covers meals and drinks at the main buffet, a snack bar with made-to-order pizza and tacos, and an à la carte Italian restaurant called Magallanes. The Ocean Grill, a seafood restaurant open for lunch and dinner, sits beachfront and offers steak and pasta options alongside ocean views. A second à la carte restaurant, the Fajitas, serves Mexican cuisine on the beach side.

Four outdoor pools are spread across two sides of the resort: two on the marina side and two on the ocean side. One pool on the ocean side is heated, and all pools have swim-up bars and are surrounded by sun loungers. The private beach area has direct access to the ocean, with a narrow strip of sand and good waves.

Daily activities include bingo, charades, and salsa dance lessons, led by a dedicated entertainment staff. Evening shows take place in an outdoor theatre, with performances ranging from a Michael Jackson tribute to Mexican dancing shows. The Kids Club offers video games and outdoor activities for children, while the hotel also has a tennis court and bicycle rental.

The hotel sits 5 minutes from Lic. Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Airport, inside the exclusive Marina Vallarta area. Three large meeting rooms accommodate up to 350 guests, supported by an in-house team for event planning. Nearby attractions include the Marina Vallarta Golf Course, the Malecón boardwalk, and local art galleries.
