Puerto Vallarta hotel with modern style and true resort experiences
The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta maintains a tranquil setting, even with all the activities hosted on the site. Lagoon-style pools -- complete with a swim-up bar -- and outdoor restaurants take advantage of the stunning beach and ocean vistas. Rooms favor contemporary furniture and brightly colored accents. For parents, a supervised club for children 4 to 12 translates to more time at the spa, nearby golf courses and tennis courts.
Highlights
  • Contemporary rooms with pool- or ocean-facing balconies
  • Alfresco dining
  • Lagoon-style pools with swim-up bar
  • Club for children ages 4 to 12
Rooms
Clean lines, tasteful fabrics and modern furniture capture a contemporary look synonymous with the Westin brand. Luxurious white linens complement with color, including red walls and copper throw pillows and amber-shaded lamps. Sleek media cabinets and headboards create symmetry for the space. Guests shift to full relaxation mode with amenities such as ocean- or pool-facing balconies, Heavenly Bath products, satellite TV and mini-bar. Wi-Fi is standard.
Features
Parents rely upon the kids' club, a year-round program open to children ages 4 to 12, for daily supervised activities. A typical day has children taking part in craft-making, pool aerobics, movie-watching and more (fees apply).
For adults, the recreation menu is just as rich. Visitors might start at the outdoor lagoon-style pools (complete with swim-up bar), play a match on the tennis courts, enjoy a black-mud wrap at the spa or work out on the Life Fitness machines in the gym. Golfers can also request to have tee times scheduled at four nearby courses.
Dining
Atmosphere plays a big role in the dining experiences at The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta. Arrecifes Seafood & Steakhouse tempts guests with fusion cuisine and tables located under a thatched roof by the beach. El Palmar Restaurant, the all-day buffet, entices guests with a rooftop terrace overlooking the pools and gardens. Guests can enjoy the bar at La Cascada International Bar, where seasonal music and flat-screen TVs provide the entertainment. They can also dine by the pool at Tlaquepaque Bar, which serves light fare alongside tropical cocktails.

A week in paradise

The Westin was a great place to spend a week. The hotel staff truly made our stay wonderful. They only had one restaurant open so we're glad we didn't do an all-inclusive package. We had breakfast every day and the food was really good. We were very happy with our room. It was well appointed and the beds were very nice. We had a wonderful view of the bay and the city. I would recommend this hotel without reservation. We truly enjoyed it.

Plan your fishing ahead of time and don't use street vendors. We booked ahead with Puerto Vallarta Sportfishing and had a wonderful experience. We had friends who got less than what they hoped for by booking with a local salesman. Do your homework ahead of time and know what fish are available.

Peaceful resort

When the groups were staying at the hotel on weekends it was noisy in the hallways. That's it for the downside. Beautiful view of pool & ocean from balcony. Excellent breakfast buffet with a few different items each day.Westin has a "crackerjack" staff, second to none. Probably not for the young crowd but a great place to relax for the rest of us.

Had a blast with my girlfriend

Hotel was very nice & the staff was amazing. I would stay here again. Just make sure you request a king bed when you book. I forgot to request a king bed when i booked mines and got stuck with two queen beds. Other than that every thing was good.

family friendly, nice ameneties

Overall Westin was a positive experience. The facilities are very clean, staff was very friendly and the rooms are big enough for family of four. The downside were the following: - The hotel nickle/dimed for every thing(business center, water bottle in rooms etc) - The location (Marina Vallarta) is not very active and colorful. Downtown is very active and enjoyable which is a cab ride (approximately $6-8 one way) But overall a great experience.

LOVED OUR STAY, except for...

The Westin itself was great. We loved the overall feel of the hotel. The 4 pools and 2 swimup bars were great. The nightly firework show from the pirate ship just off the beach was a lot of fun. The service was really good. The only complaint I have is that the club noise was not muffled out very well from the room. I am a heavy sleeper and had no problem but on both Friday and Saturday night it kept my girlfriend up until about 3am becuase of the bass permeating into our room. The staff was overall great except for the manager the next morning telling us that this wasn't happening and trying to argue with me. That wasn't the response of a manager in a 4 star hotel and one that was ranked #5 on the travel channel for hotels in mexico. Do get the message on the beach !
