Puerto Vallarta is located on the Pacific coast of Mexico, nestled between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the ocean, and is home to beautiful shorelines.

Its beauty goes far beyond the beaches though. This vibrant city has plenty of additional attractions including several churches with intricate details, boutique shops, artwork and museums. It's a photographer's dream.

One of the popular areas to pass the time at is near the Malecón, a 12-block beachside boardwalk. The charming cobblestone streets boast several lively restaurants, bars, lounges and shops for both tourists and locals to visit each day.

Travelers are welcomed to this city with open arms, and there are several hotels and resorts to stay at during a visit. Whether it's a romantic trip, a family vacation or a friends getaway, there are resorts to accommodate each traveler's needs.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, a Playa Hotels & Resorts property, is located on an exclusive beach less than three miles from the Malecón and caters to both adults and families.

The resort has a variety of rooms, from the standard king or double bed options to a presidential suite. Certain room categories conveniently hold up to five people so those larger families traveling together have plenty of room during their stay.

All of the suites include Wi-Fi, a minibar restocked daily, bathroom amenities, air conditioning and turndown service, among other things. Many of the rooms offer stunning views of the ocean, and guests can choose to book a Hyatt Club Level room in order to receive extras such as an upgraded mini bar, personalized concierge service and private check-in and check-out.

Hyatt Ziva offers plenty of pools to enjoy while taking in the surrounding beauty of Puerto Vallarta. They have five infinity pools, two kiddie pools, an adults-only pool and an infinity hot tub. Families can splash around all day in between grabbing drinks at the swim-up bar.

In addition to hanging out at the pool, guests can enjoy a game of volleyball, kayak tours, dance lessons and more. The younger members in the group can spend time at the Kidz Club, and the adults can choose to pamper themselves with a spa treatment at the Vitamar Spa.

After a fun-filled day and watching an amazing sunset, visitors to Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta get to enjoy live evening performances including a Michael Jackson Show, a Water Light Show, a Fire Show, a Pre-Hispanic Show and a Mexican Folklore Show. The evenings are just as memorable as the days.
