Much like the other sprawling resorts that line the beach in the swanky Marina Vallarta golf community, the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa features top-notch restaurants, pools, and meeting rooms, as well as 433 modern guest rooms and suites, all with private balconies and most with ocean views. Housed in two towers, this upscale hotel is especially memorable for its sumptuous Ohtli Spa and adjacent fitness center with indoor lap pool. It's also home to the city's only government-approved turtle sanctuary. The freeform pool has ocean views and a swim-up bar, and there's a separate large kiddy pool, as well as a kids' club. Those seeking a better beach may prefer Fiesta Americana to the south, though it's all-inclusive.
