All-Inclusive Resorts in Nuevo Vallarta / Riviera Nayarit
2 expert-reviewed resorts in Nuevo Vallarta / Riviera Nayarit, Mexico — sorted by our rating. Every restaurant named, every con disclosed.
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is the gold standard of all-inclusive on Mexico's Pacific coast — the only property in the region to hold AAA Five Diamond status for 18 consecutive years. At $700-$1,800 per night it demands a real commitment, but what it delivers — six gourmet restaurants with a French executive chef, a spectacular three-tier infinity pool, 1,000+ sq ft suites, concierge service for every guest, and a Kids Club that parents genuinely rave about — is a near-complete luxury resort experience.
Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta
Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta is the most distinctive family all-inclusive in Nuevo Vallarta, anchored by a genuinely fun music-first concept — in-room Fender guitars, vinyl record players, and rock memorabilia give it a personality no competitor can match. Zen restaurant and no-reservation dining are real strengths. Rooms are smaller and more dated than the price suggests, but the July 2026 renovation should fix that. For families who want atmosphere, music, and a great beach over ultra-luxury finishes, it delivers. Couples wanting room quality and quiet should look at Grand Velas or Marival Armony instead.
