Presidente Intercontinental Puerto Vallarta

The Resort and Its Setting

Presidente InterContinental Puerto Vallarta is a beachfront timeshare property on Mexico's Pacific coast, carrying the InterContinental name and the service standards that come with it. Units are built for longer stays — the kind of space and layout that sets a timeshare week apart from a standard hotel room — and the resort sits directly on Banderas Bay, one of the largest natural bays in Mexico, giving owners easy access to the water without needing to drive anywhere.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and What to Do

Puerto Vallarta has been a go-to Pacific coast destination for decades, and the appeal hasn't faded: cobblestone streets, a lively arts and dining scene, and a waterfront boardwalk that locals and visitors alike use day and night. The Malecón is about half a kilometre from the resort — a stretch of restaurants, galleries, and ocean views that's worth walking end to end at least once. Old Town (Zona Romántica) is a kilometre away, with its colonial buildings, boutique shops, and some of the best casual Mexican food in the city. Further out, the Sierra Madre mountains rise about 5km inland, offering a change of scenery for anyone keen to hike or book a day tour, and Puerto Vallarta's Art District, roughly 2km away, is worth a visit for its galleries set in restored historic buildings. Whale watching on Banderas Bay is a seasonal highlight for visitors travelling between December and March.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Presidente InterContinental Puerto Vallarta and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because this resort carries the Presidente InterContinental / IHG brand, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's owners' association or the brand's timeshare administration rather than informally between owners. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort or its management what the current transfer fee is, whether the resort (or brand) holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process — these details vary and should be checked rather than assumed. A resale buyer should also be clear, before signing anything, on exactly what they are and aren't acquiring — for example, whether the week includes current RCI enrolment, as RCI affiliation and enrolment status can depend on the specific contract and the brand's own transfer rules.

Renters, for their part, are usually looking for straightforward things: a confirmed week or date range, clarity on unit size and views, and proximity to the beach and the Malecón — all of which this resort can offer, given its location directly on Banderas Bay.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

The resort's RCI affiliation means owners can exchange their week for stays at other RCI-network resorts worldwide, which is a selling point worth highlighting in any listing — buyers interested in flexibility beyond Puerto Vallarta itself will want to know this upfront. Anyone listing a week should also keep their maintenance fee statement and any association documents on hand, since buyers will ask about ongoing costs before committing.

Getting There

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is about 15km from the resort, and most owners and renters arrange a transfer in advance rather than looking for transport on arrival.
