Our picks in Riviera Nayarit

Best overall
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit · 9.4/10 · from $700

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.

  • + Only all-inclusive on the Mexican Pacific coast to hold AAA Five Diamond — for 18 consecutive years
  • − Rates of $700-$1,800/night put it beyond most budgets
Best value
Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico · 8.1/10 · from $191

Riu Palace Pacifico punches above its price class. The December 2023 renovation turned a dated family resort into a fresh adults-only all-inclusive with genuine appeal for couples. Unlimited top-shelf spirits for all guests, no-reservation dining, a quality Pacific beach, and access to three RIU properties makes this exceptional value. It won't match Grand Velas for gourmet dining or Casa Velas for boutique intimacy, but at roughly half the price, it is the best-value adults-only resort in Nuevo Vallarta.

  • + Complete December 2023 renovation — everything from rooms to pools to restaurants feels brand new
  • − Entertainment gets repetitive after 4-5 nights — not enough variety for longer stays
