The Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Spa is located right on Puerto Vallarta’s beach, just a short walk from the Malecón Promenade. With both European plans and all-inclusive packages, the Buenaventura appeals to vacationing couples, singles and families seeking a wide array of amenities and full-service accommodations.  

Whitewashed resort buildings border the central pool area and overlook the beach and Pacific Ocean. The sophisticated double-height lobby has marble floors, contemporary art and a decor of coffee tones with touches of olive, beige and russet. Rooms and suites are decorated in a modern Mexican aesthetic, with sleek, comfortable furnishings done in shades of white and cream with bold vermillion accents. Guests in standard rooms can request balconies and sea views, which are available in all junior and honeymoon suites. Suites also feature in-room Jacuzzis and kitchenettes.  

In addition to 24-hour room service, the Buenaventura has seven diverse restaurants. Casual beachfront dining includes the Frutas y Flores buffet restaurant and Sunset Beach for light lunches. More upscale venues, such as the international Miramar or the Latin-fusion restaurant Murales, cater to the gourmet palate. Sunset Restaurant features seafood and fusion cuisine on its a la carte menu, Rodisso offers a variety of local dishes and Sushi & Gon has Japanese specialties.

Three free-form swimming pools are surrounded by lounge chairs and sunshades. Distinctive underwater recliners in the pool are ideal for tanning, and the hammocks on the beach are a popular spot for a siesta. The resort offers a variety of water sports, such as scuba lessons, sea kayaking and snorkeling. Options for children include various beach activities, an indoor kids club, assorted board games and a unique outdoor giant chessboard. The resort’s Shakti Spa offers a complimentary scalp and hand massage as well as a full menu of body and beauty treatments using Germaine de Capuccini products. Individuals can opt for private massage rooms, while couples can relax in the shared massage area. While there are no in-house nightclubs, the Buenaventura activities team is happy to escort guests to local Puerto Vallarta nightlife spots.
