Crown Paradise Golden

The Resort & Its Setting

Crown Paradise Golden is an independent timeshare property in Puerto Vallarta, affiliated with RCI rather than tied to one of the large international hotel brands. That independent status matters for owners: the resort runs its own management and owners' association rather than reporting to a big corporate timeshare chain, which shapes how resales and transfers are handled (more on that below). Its location puts owners within easy reach of the Pacific waterfront and the city's main tourist areas.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's best-known beach cities, built around the curve of Banderas Bay, with a hillside setting, a long-standing cruise and resort trade, and a genuinely lived-in old town alongside the newer hotel zones. Within a short distance of Crown Paradise Golden, owners and renters have the Malecón, the city's seafront promenade lined with restaurants, galleries and shops, and Old Town (Viejo Vallarta), with its cobblestone streets and colonial-era buildings. Further afield, Mismaloya Beach is a popular day trip for swimming and snorkelling. The bay itself is the main draw for most visitors, offering boat tours, water sports and simple beach time right on the doorstep.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Crown Paradise Golden and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post the ad, and the marketplace takes 0% commission on the sale or rental — what you agree with the buyer is what you keep.

Because Crown Paradise Golden is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a branded developer network the way it would be at a major chain property. Instead, any transfer of ownership typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who will confirm the resort's transfer fee and the current annual maintenance fee before a sale can be completed. If you're selling, have this information ready for prospective buyers; if you're buying, ask for both figures in writing before agreeing on a price, since they directly affect what the week will cost you to own going forward.

Crown Paradise Golden's RCI affiliation is a separate point worth clarifying with the resort or association: confirm whether your specific week carries RCI exchange privileges, since this affects what a buyer is actually acquiring alongside the week itself. A resale buyer should also ask what exactly transfers with the unit — for example, whether any RCI membership or points balance tied to the week carries over, or whether that has to be set up fresh by the new owner.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters typically care about straightforward things: which week or season is on offer, unit size and sleeping capacity, and proximity to the beach and the Malecón. Sellers should be ready to answer the same questions, plus the transfer fee and annual fee details above, since serious buyers will ask early rather than late.

Getting There and Around

Puerto Vallarta has its own international airport with regular connections from the US, Canada and within Mexico, making it a relatively easy destination to reach for both owners returning on their week and renters visiting for the first time. Within the city, taxis and public transport cover the main tourist areas, though many visitors renting a car find it convenient for trips further along the coast.
