Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa: All Inclusive, Private Beach and Fun Activities

With a natural jungle on the one side and a private beach on the other, it's no wonder Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa draws the crowds. Nearly 100 ft of pristine Banderas Bay beach are your playground at the brightly colored, 412-room resort steeped in Mexican d?cor. Couples can take long strolls through botanical gardens, while families spend afternoons interacting with one another in the family pool--there's something special for everyone at Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa.

The private, picturesque beach on sheltered Banderas Bay is calm enough for the smallest swimmers, and plenty of palapas are thatched havens for margarita-sipping lovebirds. Four pools offer sweet relief from the sun, including a saltwater pool and one for the youngsters. The adults-only, infinity pool is a prime spot at sunset with absolutely stunning Pacific views from its spot on a bluff away from the action. Then head to dinner at any of the five resort's restaurants. From spiced kebabs at Portofino and sushi at Bambu to enchiladas at Viva Mexico and baby backs at Ribs & More, dining is a total taste tour. Jump into games after dinner at the theatre or dance 'til dawn at Sunset Boulevard disco.

From nightlife to water sports, Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa is a seriously active resort! Get wet and fit in the aquaguym, take a surfboard out and hit the waves or round the family up for a game: water polo, ping pong, volleyball--take your pick. Archery is a popular pastime, and everyone wins when they enjoy darts and billiards. From language classes to golf at nearby courses, there are plenty of ways to stay busy. Want to chill out instead? Try a hot-stone massage at the resort's Renova Spa.

Play all day and head to your comfy Deluxe Room for some serious relaxation. You'll love unwinding in the hydro-massage tub followed by a stint on the balcony or patio listening to the sounds of the jungle.
