Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta

Frommer's Review

Stunning architecture and vibrant colors are the hallmark of this award-winning property, considered Puerto Vallarta's finest. Although the grounds are large -- over 8 hectares (20 acres) with 260m (853 ft.) of beachfront -- the warm service and gracious hospitality create the feeling of an intimate resort. Hundreds of tall palms surround the spectacular central freeform pool. Hammocks are strung between the palms closest to the beach, where there are also private beach cabañas. Rooms are contemporary in style, with oversize wood furnishings, tile floors, original art, and tub/shower combinations. Rooms on the fifth to tenth floors were redecorated in 2007. Balconies have panoramic views. Eight junior suites and some double rooms have Jacuzzis, and the five grand suites and presidential suite are two-level, with ample living areas. Two floors of rooms make up the Royal Beach Club, with VIP services, including private concierge. The fitness center is modern and well-equipped, with regularly scheduled spinning and yoga classes. Nikki Beach (www.nikkibeach.com), a renowned haven for the hip, is on-site, with a beachfront restaurant and club with big, white bed-size lounges for sunbathing or enjoying libations, from noon until early morning. Their Sunday champagne brunch is especially popular.
