Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)
- Renovation Status: The Club Tower (15) is generally the preferred choice as rooms here have been more recently refreshed compared to the North Tower. Guests frequently report that the North Tower feels more “authentic” but shows more wear and tear.
- Quiet & Sleep: Avoid rooms directly above Hyghligtz Sport Bar (10) or near the Activities Pool (21) if you go to bed early. For maximum quiet, request a high floor in the Club Tower facing away from the wedding gazebo.
- Convenience: For families, rooms on the lower floors of the main building provide immediate access to the Deli (04) and Vivaz Buffet (09), minimizing elevator wait times which can be slow during peak hours.
Top Spots & Hidden Gems
- Guest Favorites: The Blaze (16) terrace is the top-rated spot for breakfast due to the crashing waves right beneath the railing. For lounging, the Palmas Pool (27) is a “hidden” favorite for those looking to escape the loud music of the Activities Pool.
- Secret Locations: Look for the small sunset viewing spots near the Wedding Gazebo (25). Also, the second-floor location of Pureza (29) offers one of the best elevated views of the Pacific on the Property Map.
- Dining Tips: The fish tacos at the beachfront carts (near Playa Bar) are often cited as better than the sit-down lunches. At Tequila Bar (01), ask for the “off-menu” premium tequila tastings.
Practical Layout & Distances
- The Resort Layout is relatively compact compared to Cancun mega-resorts, meaning you can walk from the Club Tower to the Main Pool in under 5 minutes.
- Logistics: The property is built into a cove. While the main areas are accessible, there are some inclines when moving toward the Tennis Court (13) and entrance.
- Shortcuts: Use the 1st-floor walkways to bypass the lobby crowd when moving between the two towers. There is an elevator near Blaze that provides a quick vertical shortcut to the upper room tiers.
Map FAQ
- Where do I get towels? Towels are available at the Activities Center (19) located between the main pools.
- Which pool is heated? The Main Pool (22) and the Adults-Only Pool (18) are typically heated during the winter months (Dec-March).
- Is the beach swimmable? Yes, this Resort Map features a private-access cove (Playa Las Estacas), which has much calmer water than the public beaches in downtown Puerto Vallarta.
- Where is the safest place for kids? The Kids Pool (20) is shallow and situated away from the deep ends of the Activities Pool.
- Is there an ATM on the Hotel Layout? Yes, usually located near the Main Front Desk (11) or the gift shop area.
- How do I reach the Spa? Vita Mar Spa (03) is located on the ground floor of the north side—follow signs past the Deli.
