We stayed at this beautiful hotel for 8 days. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a cool, delicious drink, and the polite and friendly staff immediately caught our attention. Our room was very clean and beautiful, and housekeeping did a pretty good job. Two bottles of water, shampoo, and body lotion...

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are definitely dated and could use some upgrades but they are very clean. Beds are comfy. There isn't a mini fridge in the room. Our room had a large cement tiled bathtub that was quite high and it didn't drain very well. There are rooms with a walk in show...

The staff was exceptional and was VERY HELPFUL in assisting my Mom with mobility issues. The transport golfcart service was a nice feature, but be patient with pickup times. The beds were comfortable. The Villa restaurant was yummy, but the buffet was "okay", the Italian restaurant was not worth it....

The staff made every effort to make our stay memorable. They worked double shifts during political unrest to ensure guest satisfaction. Our children were made to feel so special. Too many names to mention, but Delicia and Nayomi especially made impressions on our family. Multiple negative reviews of...

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Dining & bars

5 restaurants3 à la carte1 buffet5 bars3 swim-up barsReservations at some venues— International buffet · Italian · Seafood · Snack bar · Grill · Mexican theme nights

Official dining page lists Cafe Marina, Snack Bar Caracol, Restaurant La Villa, Magallanes and Ocean Grill plus pool bars, theater bar and lobby bar.

Pools & waterplay

3 poolsAdults-only poolSwim-up barKids' poolHeated — La Villa pool heated; other pool heating not verified

Official services page lists Piscina Marina, Piscina Caracol and heated Piscina La Villa, all with pool-bar service.

The beach itself

Swimmable — some wavesEntry varies along the shoreSnorkeling needs a boat tripSargassum: rarely an issue

Banderas Bay beach/marina setting; Pacific water clarity and surf vary, but Puerto Vallarta has much lower sargassum risk than Caribbean Mexico.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports — the sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

For Families

Taking the kids to Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort?

Questions parents ask

Does Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort have a kids' club, and from what age?

Yes — Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort runs a supervised kids' club. Hours and age bands shift seasonally, so confirm before booking.

Are the pools at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort heated?

Yes — pool heating is confirmed, running La Villa pool heated; other pool heating not verified. That matters most December through February, when unheated pools in the region can be too cold for small children.

Is the beach at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort good for young children?

The water is swimmable with some waves, and the entry varies along the shore.

Is there anything for teenagers at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort?

Technically — there's a teen space at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort, but recent reports describe it as low-key. Don't book around it; the pools, sports, and beach carry that age group here.

Do kids stay free at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort?

Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort advertises a kids-stay-free policy. The fine print is seasonal — age cutoffs and blackout dates change — so confirm current family pricing on the resort's booking page.

Do you need dinner reservations at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort?

At some restaurants — book the à la carte venues early in your stay and keep the buffet as the no-plan fallback for meltdown nights.

Kids' club ages, hours, and babysitting availability change seasonally — confirm with the resort before booking.
