Occidental Nuevo Vallarta First C

The Resort and Its Setting

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta First C is an independently run timeshare property affiliated with RCI, located in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit. Nuevo Vallarta is a purpose-built beach resort town just north of the Jalisco border, known for its grid of resort properties, marina, golf courses and a long stretch of Pacific coastline. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it sits within a network that owners can use to exchange their week for stays at other affiliated properties, subject to the usual exchange rules and availability.

Nuevo Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit

The resort's location puts owners and renters within walking distance of the beach and close to Banderas Bay, where boat trips, dolphin watching and sunset cruises are popular with visitors. Puerto Vallarta's historic centre, with its cobblestone streets, galleries and restaurants, is about 20 kilometres south — an easy taxi or local bus ride away. Nuevo Vallarta itself forms part of the wider Riviera Nayarit, a coastal stretch dotted with beaches and smaller towns worth a day trip if you're staying a full week.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Occidental Nuevo Vallarta First C and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week directly, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a one-time listing fee to post their ad, and that's it.

Because this is an independent resort, resale here is typically handled through the property's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the annual maintenance fee, since these vary by property and aren't published centrally. It's also worth confirming whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long the transfer process usually takes to complete, so both you and your buyer know what to expect before money changes hands.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the unit and week as recorded by the resort, but it's worth checking with the association whether anything else — such as accumulated RCI points or credits — carries over, since this is not guaranteed in a private resale and should be confirmed before closing.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching for a week at this resort are typically drawn by the beach access, the established Nuevo Vallarta resort infrastructure, and the option to combine a relaxed stay with day trips into Puerto Vallarta or along the Riviera Nayarit. Families in particular tend to value the area's safe, well-developed layout and proximity to the water.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Nuevo Vallarta enjoys warm weather year-round, so sun protection is worth packing whatever the month. Shoulder season — roughly May to June or September to October — tends to bring smaller crowds and more comfortable conditions than during the peak winter season. If you're exchanging in through RCI, book well ahead to improve your odds of securing the dates you want. A hire car isn't essential, since taxis and local transport are easy to find, but having one does make it simpler to explore beyond the immediate resort area.
