Krystal International Vacation Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Krystal International Vacation Club is an independently run timeshare resort on Ave. de las Garzas, within Puerto Vallarta's city limits. Unlike corporate-branded chains, it's managed locally, which owners often say gives it a more personal feel — decisions on service and amenities are made on site rather than by a distant head office. The resort carries an RCI affiliation, so owners can use the RCI exchange network alongside using their own week.

Puerto Vallarta and the Jalisco Coast

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's longest-established beach destinations, built around Banderas Bay on the Pacific coast. From the resort you're close to the Malecón, the city's oceanfront promenade lined with restaurants, galleries and spots to watch the sunset, and within easy reach of El Centro, the old colonial quarter of cobbled streets and traditional cantinas. The bay itself is known for whale watching in season and a wide range of water activities. Further afield, Riviera Nayarit stretches north along the coast with its own beaches and golf courses, making a good day trip for owners who want to see more of the region.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Krystal International Vacation Club and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the listing, and there's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Krystal International Vacation Club is independently managed, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a national brand's resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm two things directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for changing the name on the deed or contract, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by unit size and season and aren't fixed by the marketplace. Ask the resort whether a right of first refusal applies to your specific contract — some owners' associations retain this option, and it needs to be cleared before a sale can close.

A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself and the RCI exchange eligibility tied to it, but won't inherit any loyalty perks, promotional upgrades or unpaid balances linked to the seller's original purchase — these stay with the seller or are settled before transfer. Ask the resort for written confirmation of what transfers before any deposit changes hands.

What Renters Look For

Renters booking a week at Krystal International Vacation Club are generally after straightforward access to Puerto Vallarta at a set time of year, without committing to ownership. Being specific in your listing about the unit size, the view, and whether the week falls in high season (December–April) or shoulder season helps renters judge value quickly, and matters just as much to resale buyers weighing up exchange potential through RCI.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Vallarta is served by its own international airport, so transport is straightforward to arrange in advance. Weather is most reliable from December through April; the May–June and September–October shoulder seasons bring fewer crowds, and hurricane season runs roughly August to October, though direct hits on Puerto Vallarta are less frequent than on other parts of Mexico's coast. If you plan to exchange rather than use your week directly, book through RCI well ahead of your travel dates, as popular weeks and destinations fill up early.
