Sheraton Buganvilias Resort and Convention Center is at Boulevard Francisco Medina Ascencio 999 in the Hotel Zone, in the Las Glorias area on the northern side of Puerto Vallarta's main avenue. It is a beachfront resort connected to a shopping center, with Playa Las Glorias about seven minutes on foot, the Malecón a short drive away, the cruise ship terminal nearby and the airport roughly nineteen minutes by car. The grounds have two outdoor pools plus a children's pool, a swim-up bar and a poolside bar, and the beach has loungers and beach massages. There are six restaurants on site serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, kids' meals and Mexican cuisine, a spa offering hot stone massage, body wraps and aromatherapy, a health club with yoga and fitness classes, four tennis courts, volleyball and a convenience store. Rooms include Deluxe rooms with garden, ocean or terrace views and a king bed or two doubles, and Signature rooms with bay views. All-inclusive rate plans are available for some stays.
Location and getting around
The Hotel Zone runs along the main road north of the Old Town, and the Sheraton's position beside a shopping center puts groceries, restaurants and services on hand without leaving the property. Taxis and rideshares are plentiful for trips to the Malecón and the Zona Romántica, and many boat and land tours offer hotel pickup in this part of town. The cruise ship terminal is close, which can make the area busy on port days, and the airport is a straightforward drive.
The rooms and the feel
Deluxe rooms are roomy enough for two or three guests and come with garden, ocean or terrace views, while Signature rooms add a bay view and a more premium feel. Ground-floor garden-view rooms are convenient for families with strollers. The scale of the resort means plenty of choice for dining and activities: you can alternate between the pools, the tennis courts, spa treatments and a stroll to the beach, with six restaurants to choose from. The children's pool and kids' meals make it easy for parents to plan.
Who it suits and what to know: families, groups and travelers who want a big, full-facility resort with the option of an all-inclusive plan, and who are comfortable with a short ride into the Old Town. Some buffet breakfasts are charged separately on certain rates, so check what is included, and book early for December to March. If your priority is nightlife and cafes on the doorstep, choose the Zona Romántica instead; if you want pools, courts, a spa and a shopping center at hand with the Malecón a quick drive away, this is a convenient pick.
