Marival Resort & Suites Nuevo Vallarta

Nuevo Vallarta's shoreline runs directly past Marival Emotions, on the Pacific coast of Riviera Nayarit. The resort sits along Paseo de los Cocoteros, with the beach and four pools forming the spine of the property and rooms fanning out toward the water or the gardens behind. Suites range from a 570-square-foot one-bedroom to a three-bedroom oceanfront layout of 1,259 square feet, the latter spread across two floors with three king beds and a sofa bed for up to seven adults. Several room types face the bay directly; others look over pools or planted grounds, with balconies or terraces standard throughout. Every stay includes one visit to the Mai Tai or Capriccio beach clubs. It is all-inclusive, covering meals, house wines and activities from tennis and pickleball to non-motorized watersports just off the sand. Kids get a dedicated waterpark and club; teens have their own space. Guests can also book time at Intra Mare, the resort's spa, where treatments draw on marine minerals and rhythms of the tide. In the evening, the property runs nightly shows and a disco, and by day you can walk from a suite balcony straight down to the water. Check-in is personalised, and turndown service is included in the Emotion Select category.
