This is home to the Vallarta Palace, a luxurious and elegant member of the Palace Resorts family. With many years of excellence in the hospitality industry, the Palace Resorts have built the Vallarta Palace upon a heritage of offering vacationers the finest in amenities, quality, and service. Situated to the north of Puerto Vallarta in Nuevo Vallarta, a 25 minute drive from downtown and 15 minutes from the airport, the Vallarta Palace sits atop one of the longest and most beautiful stretches of beach along the entire Bay of Banderas. To the north the shoreline curves toward Punta de Mita and the Marietas Islands, to the south one can see the twinkling evening lights of downtown Vallarta, to the east the towering Sierra Madre Mountains, and to the west the unbroken gentle ripplings of the Bay stretching out and flowing into the Pacific.

With such splendid surroundings, it's only natural the all-inclusive 348-room beachfront Vallarta Palace would be equally impressive, and it is. The majority of the deluxe rooms offers a double Jacuzzi, and all rooms feature 24-hour room service and luxury bath amenities. Private balconies afford a spectacular beach and ocean view. Marble baths with separate tub and shower, turndown service, stocked mini bars, satellite TV, and bathrobes are provided, as well as baby cribs upon request for families with small children.
