Sister property The Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa has also undergone an extensive, multi‑phase renovation; the property recently introduced newly redesigned guestrooms and suites, including its highly sought‑after swim‑up rooms, which offer direct access to the water Guests can also enjoy the newly added adults‑only pool, providing an exclusive sanctuary for relaxation just steps from the beach. 

The property will also become all-inclusive in 2027.

As part of the culinary enhancements, the resort rejuvenated several restaurants, including Marieta, which now offers an elevated Mediterranean‑fusion concept. Complementing these updates is the property’s main beachfront infinity pool, a place that becomes especially magical during whale‑watching season, when humpback whales can be spotted directly from the shoreline between December and March.

“Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta are among Mexico’s most dynamic and beautiful coastal destinations,” said Hugo Lecanda, Area General Manager, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Guadalajara, Marriott International.

“By uniting four distinct premium experiences—from city-close and familyfriendly to restorative and jungle-immersed all-inclusives, we’re giving guests and planners more choices on the Pacific, all under the recognition and reliability of Marriott Bonvoy.”
