Should I vacation at Occidental Nuevo Vallarta?

The Occidental Nuevo Vallarta Hotel in Riviera Nayarit is a recently renovated resort located beachfront , approximately 13 km from the Puerto Vallarta airport.
Should you plan your vacation here - YES!
This is a solid 4 to 4.5 star Family all inclusive resort. Its only 274 rooms so easy to navigate.
My Deluxe Ocean View room was so comfy - great beds, lots of pillows, good shower - all you need.
The only drawback is not all rooms have balconies, but the resort more than makes up for this.
The beach is perfect for strolls and swimming. Yes there is only 1 general pool, but I had fun.
There is an elevated room category called The Royal Level - worth it? Id say yes.
Susan's Comments: If you are a family, or looking for an intimate resort for your Destination Wedding, you would be happy.
Food was tasty, and well presented, the lobby bar was fun and service attentive.
The locations is great as well, as you can walk out the resort and so a bit of exploring.
Let me know in the comments if you have visited this area or resort.

    God willing we'll be there in September for our 16th anniversary & we'll be opting for the royal level.

    Thanks for watching. I believe to get Royal Level, you have to choose the room category with Royal Level in the title. You could call the resort to double check as well.

    Thanks for watching. The Occidental is located in a city setting, so you can walk around the area, take a bus or taxi into downtown, the Malecon. Its a compact resort. You can swim in the ocean. The Palladium is away from the city, so no walking outside the resort. It is a large complex, almost jungle like and built in the side of a hill. You can swim and surf in this beach. Rooms and food is about the same. One had a city feel and the other remote and authentic
