Now Amber Puerto Vallarta by UVC

The Resort and Its Setting

Now Amber Puerto Vallarta by UVC sits directly on Banderas Bay, just a few steps from the water, in the Las Glorias section of Puerto Vallarta's hotel zone. Guests rate it 4.6 out of 5 from 165 reviews, with Google's own summary describing it as offering "refined rooms in an upmarket oceanfront resort with various dining, sports & entertainment options." As a UVC property within the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, it operates on an all-inclusive basis, so meals, drinks and much of the entertainment are typically bundled into a stay — though owners and renters should always confirm exactly what's included directly with the resort before booking, since package details can change.

Puerto Vallarta and the Surrounding Area

Puerto Vallarta has long been one of Mexico's best-known beach towns, blending a cosmopolitan hotel zone with a genuinely historic centre. The oceanfront Malecón boardwalk, with its galleries, bars and sculptures, is about half a kilometre away. Old Town Puerto Vallarta, with its cobblestone streets, local markets and traditional restaurants, is roughly 2 km from the resort, and Marina Vallarta, known for yacht charters, sportfishing and upscale dining, is about 3 km out. Banderas Bay itself is right on the doorstep, popular for snorkelling, whale watching (in season) and boat trips, and for those wanting a slower pace, the boat-access village of Yelapa lies around 20 km down the coast, with its own beaches and waterfalls.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Now Amber Puerto Vallarta by UVC and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, list the week yourself, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it helps to understand how a transfer actually works on the Hyatt Vacation Club side. Hyatt does not publish an official resale transfer fee; figures reported by owners and brokers have ranged from around $500 to about $600 for closing and transfer, so it's worth asking about current fees directly rather than assuming a figure. Hyatt also holds a right of first refusal, reportedly exercisable within 30 days of a resale agreement, meaning Hyatt can step in and match a sale before it completes. A resale broker has quoted a typical transfer timeline of 8–10 weeks from agreement to the deed changing hands. One restriction worth flagging to buyers up front: owners who purchase on the resale market cannot convert their ownership into World of Hyatt points — that conversion option is reserved for buyers who purchase directly. This resort is also RCI-affiliated, and resale buyers typically retain that exchange network as part of their ownership.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

People searching for a week at this resort are generally after an oceanfront all-inclusive stay in a walkable part of Puerto Vallarta, with dining and entertainment handled on-site. Renters will want clear dates, unit size or room category, and confirmation of what's included in the all-inclusive package. Buyers will want to know the maintenance fee amount, whether the week is fixed or floating, and how the RCI affiliation works if they plan to exchange rather than use the week directly.

Practical Notes

Puerto Vallarta's hotel zone is walkable, and taxis around town are inexpensive, so a rental car is only really necessary for day trips further along the coast. The climate stays warm year-round, but June through November is hurricane season, so travel insurance is worth considering for bookings in those months. For the best combination of availability and value, the May–June and September–October shoulder seasons are generally easier for both exchanges and direct bookings.
