7. Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway
The Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway has it all: quiet luxury less than a mile north of downtown Puerto Vallarta. The luxuriousness of this boutique hotel may come from its adults-only status – but it might also be the butler services or daily beachfront yoga classes. Visitors also revel in Villa Premiere’s tastefully decorated guest rooms, which were renovated in 2015 and come equipped with 42-inch flat-screen televisions, L’Occitane toiletries, private balconies facing the ocean and pillow menus. Many guests opt for the all-inclusive package, just to savor Villa Premiere’s three decadent restaurants. The property also offers a variety of on-site activities and amenities like cooking workshops, complimentary access to the the Mind & Soul Spa’s sauna and steam room facilities, and Balinese beds that guests say make Villa Premiere extra special. If you’d rather just kick back and relax, you’ll find plenty of lounge chairs surrounding the two swimming pools.
8. Marival Distinct Luxury Residences
Guests returning to the Marival Distinct Luxury Residences in Nuevo Vallarta (about 9 miles northwest of Puerto Vallarta) have come to expect a high level of personalized service, and according to most visitors, that’s usually what they get. Whether its customized drinks crafted at the bar or adjustments made for early arrivals and late checkouts, guests appreciate Marival’s extra touches. Golfers and gourmands will also enjoy their time here, as the resort’s all-inclusive plan encompasses unlimited green fees at three nearby golf courses and meals at several restaurants (guests especially liked the cuisine at Insú Sky Lounge). Of course, after a day of golfing, gorging or simply lounging by the pool or beach, you can retreat to your comfortable digs. Ranging from one-bedroom guest rooms to four-bedroom villas, Marival’s accommodations feature coffee makers, refrigerators, plasma TVs, upscale bath amenities and views of the gardens, pool or ocean from private balconies or terraces.
