The beach at Nuevo Vallarta just got better for vacationers who hate surprise bills. Starting May 1, 2026, The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta relaunches as The Westin Playa Vallarta, An All-Inclusive Resort. Everything from breakfast buffets to sunset cocktails falls under one price. Set on 14 lush acres with a prime 410-foot stretch of sand, it’s Marriott Bonvoy’s latest play to dominate the Pacific Coast premium scene.
Guest rooms got a full makeover. Expect contemporary designs, some with direct swim-up pool access. Others feature private plunge pools for that extra privacy. The iconic Heavenly Bed ensures deep sleep after beach days. Fitness fans hit WestinWORKOUT equipment or tennis courts. The reinvented Heavenly Spa offers treatments drawing on local ingredients. Pools keep kids busy while adults lounge beachside.
Hunger? The new Gourmet Gallery delivers variety across six restaurants. Try Japanese precision at Tanto. Get taquería flavors upgraded at Call Me Lalo. Coastal Burgers nods to California cool. Organic & Co serves fresh, sustainable bites. Rosa Madalena tempts with gelato, coffee, pastries anytime. Agave Studio dives into mezcal and agave spirits – perfect for evenings.
It’s event-ready too. Beach weddings under palms, family reunions, corporate incentives in expanded ballrooms or ocean-view terraces. Check the Nuevo Vallarta hotel map for nearby stays.
Location seals the deal. Straddling Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, it’s 20 minutes from the airport, steps from golf courses and Paradise Village mall. The zones map highlights its spot. Area GM Hugo Lecanda calls the coast dynamic and beautiful. This relaunch creates jobs, fills local tours and shops with guests. Bonvoy members rack points. Winter whale watching right from the beach adds magic. May starts high season – grab rooms early. Families, couples, groups all win here.
