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.

Thanks for the video, do you know websites thar offer discounts on stays at the Occidental?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Prices with every web site change often, so you would have to keep checking

[@elenachebanenko2080]

Great video.... Sorry, but Room no balcony is very bad. Does the window open? Thanks

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Then this is not the resort for you! Window opens

[@alexistoliver2440]

Great video! Did you prefer this Resort over the Riu Vallarta?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Yes but only because it is a smaller resort and easier to navigate. More intimate

[@isaiahjaimes5580]

Hello quick question is it possible to get the deluxe bedroom and also obtain royal level status or do you have to have a royal bedroom? Thanks!

[@SusanatEscapes]

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.

[@julia_alemma]

Would you recommend this resort or the Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa?

[@SusanatEscapes]

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

[@azelearangel6493]

I’m going in august, is that a good time of year to go?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Yes, it's not too humid but it will be hot. Have fun!

[@johnronin]

how's the nightly entertainment? any live music?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. The spot to be is the lobby bar and I believe they have entertainment

[@orianstqxx5471]

How was the water/beach?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. This beach is swimmable and perfect for long walks

[@erinnroberts873]

Does the hotel provide an airport shuttle?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. No they don't offer free transfers. But this resort is worth the visit!

[@sabrinacatallo1382]

Are there many activities for young children?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Kids love the pool and ocean very swimmable. Plus there is a kids club

[@Relativity123]

Hi can you book a royal level with a balcony?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. You can book on the resort web site or with a tour operator. I just had 2 clients return from this resort and loved it!

[@Relativity123]

​@SusanatEscapes sorry I meant is it possible to book royal level with a balcony? It seems like can only book a balcony for non royal level but i have seen mention that some royal levels have a balcony.

[@SusanatEscapes]

@@Relativity123 I'm 99% sure the Royal Level rooms have balconies. This resort also has time share, and some rooms are designated for this. Perhaps call the resort and ask - sorry I don't have a specific answer

[@perucho2194]

No gym/fitness room?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. You can check their official web site: Guests who want to stay in shape during their vacation have access to a fully-equipped fitness center. Yes, they have a gym

[@margaretcordova3268]

The hotel looks old!

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Not sure old is a bad thing. Details · Year Built: 1992 · Year Last Renovated: 2011

[@derrickhouston2202]

YOU DIDNT SHOW ANY ENTERTAINMENT WAS THERE ANY

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. I was there only 2 nights, but there is entertainment in the lobby bar and on the deck beach front

[@sarahcoats5968]

Do you have to wear masks?

[@SusanatEscapes]

Thanks for watching. Guests don't have to but staff did.

[@sarahcoats5968]

@@SusanatEscapes great thanks!
