In September, I wrote about Westin planning to rebrand The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta to become The Westin Playa Vallarta, an All-Inclusive Resort (the first-ever Westin all-inclusive property in Mexico). Now, the property has officially reopened.
This multi-million-dollar renovation offers guests a fully immersive oceanfront destination with an array of wellness-driven, culturally rich, and culinary-focused experiences. The resort is located on 14 acres of lush tropical grounds near lively Marina Vallarta and just minutes from Puerto Vallarta’s Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR).

The resort invites travelers to tailor their vacations through thoughtfully curated activities, including:
- Expertly crafted culinary journeys focused on Mexican cuisine.
- Wonder-filled adventures celebrating Puerto Vallarta’s rich natural surroundings.
- Deeply enriching cultural encounters designed to connect guests with the region’s traditions.

Key highlights of the new resort include:
- 280 reimagined suites, including 30 private plunge pool suites and 16 swim-up rooms.
- 10 culinary and entertainment venues, including an open-air, botany-inspired cocktail lounge.
- Vibrant social hubs for gathering and live entertainment.
- Artisanal retail spaces celebrating local craftsmanship.
- Completely refreshed pool areas.
- Brand-new pickleball and padel courts.
- The signature WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio.
- Heavenly Spa by Westin®

Anthony’s Take: I prefer the quieter St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, but this property holds a nostalgic place in my memories as we stayed here on our first trip to Puerto Vallarta. I’m not a fan of all-inclusive resorts, but I’m sure it will be popular.
