Golden Shores & Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta

The Resort and Its Setting

Golden Shores & Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta is an RCI-affiliated vacation ownership resort in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. It sits close to the city's waterfront, putting owners and guests within easy reach of the Malecón promenade and the cobblestone streets of the Old Town. As a timeshare property, it is built around fixed-week or points-based ownership rather than nightly bookings, which is the main reason people buy here: a guaranteed slot in a popular Pacific coast destination, year after year.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta has long been one of Mexico's go-to beach cities, and the resort's location means owners rarely need to look far for things to do. The Malecón, roughly half a kilometre away, is lined with galleries, restaurants and bars, with the ocean on one side and street performers on the other most evenings. Old Town is a few minutes further, with its colonial-era streets, local eateries and craft shops. Banderas Bay, about a kilometre out, is the base for sport fishing charters, whale-watching trips (seasonal) and water sports operators, while a cluster of beach clubs along the shoreline offer everything from loungers and cocktails to full lunch service. For a longer day out, Riviera Nayarit, roughly 30 km north, adds more beach towns and coastline to explore.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who no longer use their week at Golden Shores & Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-time listing fee to post the ad.

Because this is a resale on an RCI-affiliated resort, the transfer itself typically runs through the resort's owners' association or management, not through BidMyTimeshare.com. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management: the current transfer fee, whether the resort (or its developer) holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published here, so get them in writing from the resort before closing a deal. A resale buyer should also confirm exactly what comes with the week — for example, whether RCI affiliation and any accumulated points or exchange credits transfer with the unit, or whether those need to be set up fresh under the new owner's name.

What Renters Look For

Renters booking a week at a resort like this are usually comparing it to a hotel stay, so what matters most is the practical detail: which week or season is on offer, how many people the unit sleeps, and how close it really is to the beach and the Malecón. Being upfront about the unit size, view, and any resort fees the renter will need to cover on arrival makes a listing far more useful to someone deciding between this resort and a hotel room in the same part of town.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Vallarta's dry season (November to April) is when demand for accommodation across the city is at its highest, so weeks in that window are generally the easiest to rent out or sell quickly. The rainy season (May to October) brings afternoon showers but fewer crowds, and shoulder months (May–June, September–October) can suit buyers or renters who prioritise lower rates and quieter beaches over guaranteed sunshine. Anyone relying on RCI to exchange their week elsewhere should check current exchange availability and any deposit deadlines directly with RCI, since this varies season to season.
