Puerto Vallarta Hotels

The luxury of Casa Velas Hotel Boutique might be a surprise to many.   Hidden away just back from the ocean, the tranquillity and intimacy of the property together with the superb facilities make this a welcome change from the high rise hotel zone.

Formerly known as the Quinta Real, the property has always had an excellent reputation for its cuisine.  The Casa Velas is now an all-inclusive property yet it maintains the same high levels of food and service.  Children are no longer accepted in the main seasons, so it is a complete contrast to most of the other all-inclusive properties in the region.

The recent addition of a private Beach Club, with infinity pool, restaurant and air-conditioned TV lounge, plus a full-service spa had already elevated the property's appeal and it remains our top choice for charm and luxury in Puerto Vallarta.

Desert island hideaways don't get much better than idyllic Majahuitas Resort.  The hotel's 18 acres are actually part of the mainland, but because there are no roads to the area the only access is by sea.  And so your vacation begins with a leave-your-worries-behind-you boat trip along the stunning coastline of the Bay of Banderas.

Away from Puerto Vallarta, the sea becomes clearer and blue-green. Twenty minutes later the boat arrives at one of the most picturesque coves on the coast. Seven casitas cling to the shoreline and slopes of the one third of a mile long beach, each casita having a perfect sea view.

To describe the resort as simple or rustic is deceptive.  While it's true that there are no televisions, telephones or air-conditioning (in fact the hotel is mostly solar powered), the resort boasts gourmet food and extraordinary service.

We'd highly recommend Majahuitas for romantics and honeymooners (the hotel has also hosted complete wedding ceremonies). It's also one of the best places we've found for pure relaxation.

This small luxury hotel located in downtown Puerto Vallarta is guaranteed to surprise and delight.  We loved the impressive range of guest rooms, all beautifully furnished and including some very special suites.  If you've been searching for something out of the ordinary for a honeymoon or other romantic occasion but don't want to sacrifice a central location, we recommend that you check out the Honeymoon Suites with their huge terraces and outdoor Jacuzzis or the sumptuous Master Suites.  The latter must some of the finest accommodations in town, boasting indoor and outdoor whirlpools and breathtaking views up and down the Bay of Banderas.

Villa Premiere Hotel & Spa is a premium all-inclusive property with an optional European Plan (no meals, drinks or activities included). Guests may select the plan of their choice when booking.  Guests at the Villa Premiere must be at least sixteen years old and conscious efforts are made to create an elegant and formal ambiance.
