Barceló Maya Palace - All Inclusive

Highlights

  • 6 places to eat
  • Full-service spa

Why choose it

  • All-suite room inventory.
  • Strong review-platform ratings for a large family all-inclusive.
  • Three pools, children's water park and broad sister-resort access.

Keep in mind

  • Large resort scale creates walking-distance and crowding tradeoffs.
  • Restaurant reservations can be a friction point.
  • Beach entry is not universally smooth.

Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta

Highlights

  • Adults-only all-inclusive

Why choose it

  • True adults-only all-inclusive
  • All 271 suites marketed with ocean views
  • 24-hour room service and refreshed minibar

Keep in mind
