"Met a tour agent through a Canadian, Ed, who has been going for decades and recommended to us Juan Manual Robles Valadez who sold us 2 excursions at a much cheaper price than what the airline agent was offering, and gave us excellent service, while arranging for us to get private transportation to the marina for the 2 excursions we chose which originated from the Vallarta Marina."

A defining landmark overlooking the stunning Bahía Banderas, Friendly Fun Vallarta Different Experiences sets the stage for an unforgettable getaway. As you step into the vibrant lobby, you are greeted by a symphony of color and light. The dazzling art installations harmoniously blend local culture with contemporary flair, immediately enveloping you in a sense of place. Sofas adorned with plush fabrics beckon for a moment of respite, while the soothing sounds of water features serenade your arrival. Beyond the lobby lies a collection of inviting spaces: three outdoor swimming pools, each with its own distinct charm; an adults-only oasis framed by the azure ocean; and the full-service spa, offering a variety of massages that are luxurious delights. The culinary journey within the resort encapsulates the essence of Puerto Vallarta, with on-site restaurants showcasing the rich tapestry of local and international dishes to tantalize your taste buds. Evenings come alive in the Lobby Bar, where live music or karaoke accompanies expertly crafted cocktails and tasty appetizers - a true celebration of camaraderie and culture.
