Hotel Information: Popular with celebrating couples and active families, the blossom-draped resort is bordered on the south side of Puerto Vallarta by a river where fishing families living on the mountainside moor their boats. On the beach south of the river is a row of open-air cantinas. Scuba divers and snorkelers enjoy the proximity to the giant offshore rocks and arches comprising Los Arcos National Park 1.75 km (1 mi) away.

Amenity highlights: Two lagoon-style pools are at the center of the property. One features a waterfall arch and rock-garden island sheltering a 10-person spa tub; the other is bordered by rock waterfalls and has a swim-up bar. There is also a free-form children's pool with short waterslide, sports pool, and 12-person family spa tub.

Insider tip: A 1.75-km (1-mi) jogging path offering spectacular ocean views extends along a mountainside.
