Secrets Vallarta Bay by UVC - 3 Nights

About Secrets Vallarta Bay by UVC

Secrets Vallarta Bay by UVC sits in Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's Jalisco coast, and operates under the Hyatt Inclusive Collection umbrella, with UVC handling the vacation ownership side. Owners hold a timeshare interest that can be used for stays at the resort or deposited with RCI for an exchange elsewhere. It's built around the standard vacation ownership model: pay once for your week (or points), then cover an annual maintenance fee to keep the property running.

Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding area

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's best-established Pacific resort towns, with a working malecón, a historic centre full of cobblestone streets and local restaurants, and Banderas Bay right on the doorstep for boat trips, snorkelling and seasonal whale watching. The Malecón and Old Town (Centro Histórico) are both a short trip from the resort, and Puerto Vallarta International Airport keeps the city well connected to the US, Canada and the rest of Mexico. Further afield, the Jalisco wine and tequila country near Guadalajara makes a good day trip if you're staying a few days.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own at Secrets Vallarta Bay by UVC and want to sell or rent your week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list it for a one-time listing fee, and pay 0% commission on the sale — buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform.

Before you list, it's worth knowing the resale mechanics specific to Hyatt-affiliated ownership. Hyatt doesn't publish an official resale transfer fee, but reports from recent sellers put it at roughly $500–600 to cover closing and transfer. Hyatt also holds a right of first refusal, reportedly for up to 30 days, meaning the brand can step in and match a sale before it's finalised — so build that window into your timeline. Transfers themselves typically take around 8–10 weeks once a resale broker is involved.

One important point for buyers: if you purchase this timeshare on the resale market, you will not be able to convert the ownership into World of Hyatt points. You're buying the underlying vacation ownership and RCI exchange access, not the loyalty-points conversion that some original purchasers have.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for confirmed dates at a known, managed property in a popular coastal city — being part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection and having an RCI-affiliated home resort is exactly the kind of detail that reassures a renter they're booking something legitimate.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Anyone selling should have their maintenance fee statement, current contract, and any correspondence about the right of first refusal ready to share with a serious buyer — it speeds up due diligence considerably. Buyers should ask the seller directly for the current annual maintenance fee and any recent increases, since these aren't publicly listed and vary by contract. If you're exchanging through RCI, build in six to nine months' lead time before your travel dates for the best availability at other resorts.
