Buganvilias Resort Vacation Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Buganvilias Resort Vacation Club is an independent timeshare resort affiliated with RCI, located directly in Puerto Vallarta on the Jalisco coast. The property's position on Banderas Bay puts owners within a few minutes' walk of the city's main boardwalk and historic centre, rather than tucked away in an isolated hotel zone. This is a city-beach setup: you're close to restaurants, shops and nightlife, with the Pacific right there for swimming and watersports.

Puerto Vallarta: What's Around You

Puerto Vallarta has been one of Mexico's established Pacific coast destinations for decades, and the appeal hasn't faded. The Malecón, PV's famous oceanfront promenade lined with sculptures, galleries and seafood spots, is a five-minute stroll from the resort. Just beyond it, Old Town (Zona Romántica) offers cobblestone streets, local cantinas and a livelier, more authentic side of the city than the big hotel strip further north. Banderas Bay itself is one of the largest bays in Mexico and stays swimmable and warm for most of the year. For a change of pace, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens make a worthwhile half-day trip south of the city, with native plant collections and quiet trails above the coastline.

Selling or Renting Out a Week Here

If you own a week at Buganvilias Resort Vacation Club and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a straightforward owner-to-owner process: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee, and we take no commission on the sale or rental. Buyers and renters contact you through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the final price.

Because Buganvilias is an independent resort rather than part of a major branded chain, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management office rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published publicly and vary by unit and season, so get written confirmation directly from the resort rather than relying on an old listing. A resale buyer typically takes on the week going forward, including the ongoing annual fee, but does not inherit any back dues, special assessments, or unused points or credits attached to your account — these should be settled or clarified before the transfer closes.

Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, confirm with RCI whether the membership itself transfers automatically to a new owner or needs to be re-registered — this detail matters to buyers who plan to exchange rather than simply stay on-site.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Renters searching for a week at Buganvilias are usually after location first: walking distance to the Malecón and Old Town, plus a short hop to the beach, matters more to them than resort amenities on paper. Buyers considering a purchase will want to know unit size, week or season (fixed or floating), whether it's deeded or right-to-use, and whether RCI exchange rights are currently active on the account.

Practical Notes

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is roughly 10–15 km from the resort, around 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic. December through April brings the most comfortable weather, with warm days and little rain, while June through September is hotter and more humid — useful context for both renters picking dates and owners pricing a rental by season.
