Who fits where at Vamar Vallarta All Inclusive Marina & Beach Resort
All 8 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard King | Sleeps 2 | 1 bedroom | Garden |
| Standard 2 Beds | Sleeps 4 | 1 bedroom | Garden |
| Superior with Balcony | Sleeps 5 | 1 bedroom | Marina and gardens |
| 1-BR Villa Suite | Sleeps 4 | 1 bedroom | Garden |
| 2-BR Villa | Sleeps 5 | 2 bedrooms | Not published |
| 2-BR Master Suite | Sleeps 5 | 2 bedrooms | Marina and mountain2 baths |
| 3-BR Villa Suite | Sleeps 6 | 3 bedrooms | Garden2 baths |
| 3-BR Master Suite | Sleeps 8 | 3 bedrooms | Marina and mountain3 baths |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
Or , at the same rate.
Where else to look
- Resort website (opens in a new tab)
- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)
- Expedia (opens in a new tab)
- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
Have us book it for you
Not a cheaper rate. We are not going to undercut the big engines and we are not going to pretend to. What you get is the booking placed by someone who has read this resort properly: the room category worth paying for, what the plan does and does not cover on your dates, and the agency rates that never reach the public page.
This is booking help by email, not a concierge service. Once your reservation is confirmed the resort looks after your stay, the way it would if you had booked yourself.
Bookings are placed through an ARC and IATA accredited host agency. The resort pays the commission out of a rate it has already set, so booking this way costs you nothing extra and does not get you a worse rate.
We check this rate on a rotating schedule. Leave an email and we'll flag a real drop, not a countdown timer.
