Sea River Tower

The Resort & Setting

Sea River Tower is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, meaning it isn't part of a large hotel chain but runs under its own management and owners' structure. That independence tends to translate into a more personal, hands-on approach to service compared with big-brand resorts. Its location puts owners right on Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta, within easy reach of the city's waterfront and old town.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area & Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's longest-established Pacific beach destinations, and the area around Sea River Tower reflects that. The Malecón — the city's famous waterfront promenade lined with galleries, restaurants, and sculpture — is about half a kilometre away. Old Town Puerto Vallarta (Viejo Vallarta), with its cobblestone streets, boutiques, and traditional cantinas, is a short ride further on. Banderas Bay itself is right nearby, offering sunset cruises, snorkelling, and dolphin-watching trips, while the rock formations and marine life at Los Arcos Marine Park are about 5 km down the coast. Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is roughly 8 km away, with direct connections to major North American cities.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Sea River Tower and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and no commission taken on the sale — unlike agency resale models that take a cut once a buyer is found.

Because Sea River Tower is independently managed, resale isn't handled through a big-brand corporate transfer desk. Instead, ownership changes go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, who will confirm the transfer process, any transfer fee, and the current annual maintenance fee on your specific week. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should ask the resort directly for these figures in writing, since they can vary by unit and contract. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or right-to-use interest in the week itself, along with ongoing maintenance fee obligations — but any resort-specific perks tied to the original purchase (such as developer incentives, if ever offered) would not automatically carry over, so it's worth confirming this with the resort before closing.

Owners should also flag the RCI affiliation clearly in any listing: it's one of the main reasons buyers consider a resale here, since it opens up exchange possibilities well beyond Puerto Vallarta. Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, bay or resort views, proximity to the Malecón, and clarity on what's included (unit size, check-in dates, any resort fees) — all of which are worth spelling out clearly in your listing description.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone relying on the RCI exchange network should check exchange availability and booking windows well ahead of travel dates, as these can fill up during Puerto Vallarta's busiest months. Buyers evaluating a resale should also ask about the week's usage calendar (fixed or floating), unit size, and whether the maintenance fee is current, since outstanding balances can sometimes follow the contract. Taking a little time to confirm these details upfront makes for a smoother transfer and a clearer picture of ongoing costs for whoever ends up owning the week.
