VIDANTA Mexican Resort Review
VIDANTA PUERTO VALLARTA MEXICAN RESORT REVIEW: by Neil, of NeilsTravel.com.
Location of the recent PGA Golf Tournament, the Mexican Open at Vidanta. April 27 -30, 2023
After returning from an invitation to visit the Vidanta Nuevo (Puerto) Vallarta Mexican Resort, that is primarily a Fractional Vacation Ownership, Timeshare Resort, I wanted to post on my Travel Agent Website information and my experience of The Vidanta Resort in Nuevo Vallarta (Puerto Vallarta). (I am not advocating or evaluating the ownership/timeshare opportunities, as that is your personal choice.)
Vidanta Resort in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico.
A little background about Vidanta. Vidanta boasts an impressive portfolio of entertainment and destination resorts along the most coveted beaches in Mexico, including Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Acapulco, Puerto Peñasco, Mazatlán and Puerto Vallarta. Luxury resort hotel brands, include The Estates, Grand Luxxe, The Grand Bliss, The Grand Mayan, The Bliss, Mayan Palace, Sea Garden, and Ocean Breeze, with more under development. Vidanta’s real estate division has built and sold more than 2,000 vacation homes in Mexico. In addition, Vidanta Golf, the largest golf course operator in Mexico, offers the finest selection of courses in Latin America, including two Nicklaus Design Golf Courses and the Norman Signature Golf Course in Nuevo, Vallarta, available while staying in Nuevo, Vallarta.
See Pictures at bottom of our Neils Travel .com website below.
This Nuevo Vallarta Resort is the largest of the Vidanta Groups Resorts. It houses The Estates, The Grand Luxxe, The Grand Bliss, The Grand Mayan, The Bliss, and the Mayan Palace. These six (6) individual luxuries brand hotels/condos all have exceptionally large buildings with 14+ exceptionally large hotel/condo buildings, and more hotel/condo buildings are being built on this incredible resort property, currently.
See Pictures at Bottom of Website
Each resort Hotel/Condo is different and offers individual amenities for their guests & owners. What was interesting was depending on which hotel/condo brand you stayed at, dictated which resort amenities you could use throughout the resort’s massive property. For example, the Grand Luxxe is the resorts most exclusive resort hotel and the recipient of the AAA 5 Diamond Award. When you are a guest or owner at that property you can use all the different hotel/condos outside amenities. If you stay at the next level of resort hotel/condo, the Grand Mayan, which was a 4 Diamond AAA Hotel Award winner, you can use everything at the resort’s property except for the Grand Luxxe’s exclusive amenities. And if you stay at the Grand Bliss, you cannot use the Grand Mayan’s lazy river etc, So, you really need to decide what amenities you would like and choose the right resort hotel/condo to make sure you have the right resort amenities you want. But I have to say, this resort was so large with such an amazing beach that I honestly think it would be hard to go wrong with any brand hotel/condo at this resort. Just decide if you want an exclusive pool or a lazy river or if the awesome beach and local pool at your chosen resort is enough.
See Pictures bottom of Website
The resort property has 40 restaurants and lounges to choose from, including high-end eateries to casual restaurants to an authentic Mexican restaurant along with outside dining options where the ambience and views are mostly pleasing. In addition to the water slide, lazy river, wave pools & kiddie waterpark the BEACH was the draw, and the Vidanta Group did an awesome job of laying out the beach with tons of high-end thick cushioned loungers & covered palapas all over the beach. For those of you that have been to other Mexican Beachfront Resorts, where you were hounded by locals from begging to selling, that will not happen at this owner & guest resort. They have such a large staff they totally police the resort and no one except their staff and guests are on their resort property & beach.

You will notice I keep saying this is an exceptionally large resort, and you had better like walking as there are wooden and concrete walking pathways to all areas within this resort. You can walk miles and enjoy the resorts lakes, fountains, views, beach areas etc. And this resort is landscaped to the maximum from plants to flowers and groundcovers which are all beautiful.

The good news for guests who do not want to walk everywhere, the resort has an internal free transportation system. The resort has a fleet of golf carts, from the standard 4 passengers to a ton of 14+ passenger extended golf carts. The resort golf cart transportation has marked specific routes and stops all through the resort. They have 9 + different specific routes that take the resort guests from their hotel/condo building stops to dozens of resort areas and attractions including restaurant areas, shopping areas like their own grocery store, liquor store, candy store & their own bakery. You will experience the resort transportation service upon entering the resort as you are taken by golf cart to your specific hotel/condo building for check-in. As and their transportation center and taxi & uber pick up center, is not exactly close to any of the resort hotel/condos, thus you need their internal transportation to go from one area to another or walk on the wooden & concrete pathways through the resort.

The Grand Mayan lazy river was great, nice and wide and was approximately 42” deep, it took us 20 minutes of floating to go around the lazy river from our entry point to the same entry point again.
All of the pools were great, none had a deep end, so no diving was allowed as they were all about 4’ deep, we especially liked the pools along the ocean/beach because of the ocean views.
See Pictures Bottom of Website
The beach was large and wonderful with lots of loungers and palapas and staff lifeguards on duty, as the Pacific Ocean can have some large waves from time to time depending on the season & weather.
The restaurants inside the resort had great menus and since you are captive inside the resort the food & drink pricing are higher than outside the resort, but honestly everything we tried was very tasty and while we thought some proportions were small, we still enjoyed the convenience of dining onsite. We spent an average of about $25 per person for the breakfast buffet and an average of $45 per person for dinner. For lunch we usually used the pool cafes and waiter service, and the average snacks and drinks were about $30 per person, of course depending on how many drinks you ordered. We usually stopped at 2 drinks since they were about $9 per drink.
We used taxi service multiple times to see Nuevo Vallarta & Puerto Vallarta and all the Taxis were very reasonable from about 200 pesos (approx. $10 each way) to get to various places in Nuevo Vallarta, to 250 pesos each way to go to various places in Puerto Vallarta, approx. $13.00 each way for 2 adults.

We dined at the Happy Lobster in an old residential section of Puerto Vallarta, and the area was old and honestly a little depressing which made me wonder what this restaurant would be like. Well, it was excellent and from the food tray presentation they show you so you can see what you are going to get, to the drinks, everything was great. We had one of the best fresh seafood meals we have ever had. Fresh lobster, Sea Bass, Scallops, mussels, along with fresh vegetables and several good margaritas.
So, eating outside the resort was better than inside and after paying the taxi fare round trip, it was still a little less expensive than inside the resort. Plus, it gave you the opportunity to see the area and meet other people.
THEREFORE, all-in-all I really enjoyed the resort and all its amenities and beauty.
Bottom line for me was it was an awesome resort with good entertainment and lots of water from slides to the lazy river and the Pacific Ocean.
Happy Traveling and Enjoy! Neil@NeilsTravel.com
