About The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta
Mexico’s Pacific Coast sets the stage for an exceptional visit at The Westin Resort & Spa, Puerto Vallarta. The Westin is located in Marina Vallarta. Marina Vallarta is a bit like a resort within a resort with an exclusive Marina filled with yachts, boats, and charters, plus a championship golf course. It is located just 15 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta. The view and the relaxed atmosphere make the Marina a great stroll for couples and families, watching the yachts and boats. Marina Vallarta even has its own little lighthouse. At the top of the lighthouse, you can enjoy a drink at the El Faro bar and enjoy a lovely view of the Marina area, the Sierra Madre Mountains and wonderful sunsets.
