Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Entering the lobby, guests get their first taste of the hotel's contemporary hacienda-style architecture and character. Candles flicker in entryway alcoves, and a shallow fountain splashes near two deep-cushioned couches. From the lobby bar terrace, the pool looks cool and inviting and the golf course stretches out beyond. The guests are mostly couples from the U.S. and Mexico, and the resort maintains a tranquil atmosphere.
Amenity highlights: The 18-hole Marina Vallarta golf course borders the hotel on three sides. Guests may play tennis at two lighted courts, splash around in the pools and spa tub, or use jogging and biking trails. The Gran Real Spa offers massage and other treatments, and the fitness center provides workout equipment and classes. Guests request a complimentary shuttle to get to the hotel's private beach club, which has a seafood restaurant, lounge, and another swimming pool.
Insider tip: Guests who go fishing can bring their catch back to the resort to be cooked by the hotel chef. The chef can recommend special local dishes that can be prepared with the fish.
