Property Features
When guests are not out exploring the coast, they can take part in a tequila tasting led by the resort’s own tequila sommelier, unwind at the Ohtli Spa or cool off in the recently renovated, and Puerto Vallarta’s largest infinity pool. Nosh, the resort’s new, swim-up and two-level pool bar, is the best seat in the house to watch the sun set over the Pacific.
