The Occidental Nuevo Vallarta***** (5-star) hotel is an all inclusive resort located in a privileged enclave amidst the stunning scenery of the Riviera Nayarit, where in the same morning it is possible to enjoy an idyllic beach and the best shopping and dining area. Located just 25 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, it is an easily accessible resort.
The rooms, distributed over 7 floors, have been designed and equipped in a sophisticated manner, to offer guests an unbeatable stay and include services such as room service, 24-hour reception and free parking at the hotel.
The Buenaventura is set at the northern edge of downtown Puerto Vallarta, right on the turquoise waters of the Bay of Banderas. While there’s a whole slew of activities and restaurants at the hotel, the town is packed with all manner of tourist shops, bars, and nightclubs. There’s enough within walking distance to keep most guests happy and it’s around 5 minutes on foot to downtown’s Malecon and the central plaza. Old Town and the Romantic Zone — the most popular part of town, with its narrow streets and bustling vibe — is about 15 minutes away via vehicle. The airport is a 15- to 20-minute drive from the hotel.
There are 234 rooms at the Buenaventura Grand, including the Deluxe category, with a choice of a single king bed for two people, or two double beds and room for up to four people (two adults and two children). Note that while all rooms have at least small furnished balconies, not all of these rooms come with full ocean views; you have to specifically book an Ocean View Room if you want the full vista (Which is not available with us). Bathrooms are fairly straingtforward. There are medium-size marble countertops that have enough space for storage, as well as garish multicolored tiling. Some bathrooms feature only showers, while others have tubs as well.
