Plaza Pelicanos Club Beach Resort

The Resort & Setting

Plaza Pelicanos Club Beach Resort sits in Las Glorias, part of Puerto Vallarta's Zona Hotelera, at Diego Rivera 120 — an easy stretch of beachfront that's long been popular with vacation-ownership buyers. The resort is independently run but carries RCI affiliation, and Google reviewers (4.1/5 from over 6,000 ratings) describe it as a buzzy, all-inclusive-feeling property with streamlined rooms, a pool, five bars, and regular on-site entertainment. It's the kind of place that suits owners who want a straightforward beach base rather than a quiet boutique hideaway.

The Area & Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's best-known Pacific resort towns, and the Zona Hotelera puts owners within easy reach of its main attractions without a long taxi ride. The Malecón — Puerto Vallarta's famous oceanfront promenade lined with sculptures, galleries, restaurants and bars — is a short trip away, as is Old Town (Zona Romántica), with its cobbled streets, colonial-era buildings and strong local food scene. Banderas Bay itself is the setting for most of the city's boat tours, whale-watching trips (in season) and sunset cruises. Owners who fancy heading off-resort will find plenty to fill a week beyond the pool and bars.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Plaza Pelicanos Club Beach Resort and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list your week for owner-to-owner resale or rental with no commission — you only pay a one-time listing fee, and you set your own asking price. Buyers contact you directly through the platform, so there's no third-party sales agent steering the negotiation.

Because the resort is RCI-affiliated, that's a genuine selling point to highlight in your listing: buyers who exchange regularly value a week they can deposit into RCI for trades elsewhere, so it's worth mentioning explicitly rather than assuming buyers will look it up.

Before you list, check your ownership paperwork for the current transfer fee and annual maintenance fee, and confirm whether the resort's owners' association holds a right of first refusal on resales — many Mexican timeshare resorts do, and it can affect how long a sale takes to close. If your documents don't specify these figures, contact the resort's owners' association or management directly; they'll confirm the transfer process, any outstanding fees, and the timeline a resale buyer should expect. Be upfront in your listing about what the buyer will and won't inherit — for example, whether banked RCI points or credits transfer with the week, since these typically don't carry over automatically and need to be arranged separately with the exchange company.

Practical Notes for Renters & Buyers

Renters booking a week here should ask the owner what's included — some owners' contracts cover all-inclusive dining and drinks, others don't, so it's worth confirming before you book. Buyers evaluating a resale should ask for the current annual maintenance fee, any special assessments, and written confirmation of the unit size and season/week number being sold, since these details determine both usability and resale value down the line.

Climate & Travel Timing

Puerto Vallarta has a tropical climate with a pronounced wet season. November through April brings the most reliable weather — lower humidity and little rain — making it the busiest stretch for both renters and RCI exchangers. Hurricane season runs June to November, so late bookings in those months are more weather-dependent.
