Shell Vacations Club @ Plaza Pelicanos Grand Beach Resort

The Resort & Its Setting

Shell Vacations Club @ Plaza Pelicanos Grand Beach Resort is a beachfront timeshare property on Banderas Bay in Puerto Vallarta. Units are built for extended stays, with layouts that suit families or groups wanting a proper kitchen and living space rather than a standard hotel room. The resort's position puts owners right on the Pacific, with the city's beach culture, restaurants and nightlife within easy reach on foot or by a short taxi ride.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and What There Is To Do

Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico's best-established beach destinations, known for its cobblestone Old Town, colonial-era architecture and the Malecon — the long oceanfront promenade lined with sculptures, bars and restaurants, famous for its sunsets. Banderas Bay itself is the setting for much of the area's water sports, boat tours and dolphin-watching trips. A short drive brings you to Marina Vallarta for yacht charters and waterfront dining, while the Old Town's galleries and markets are only a few minutes from the resort. For those wanting to venture further afield, the mountains around El Tuito offer hiking and a glimpse of rural village life away from the coast. It's a destination that works equally well for a couples' getaway or a family week on the beach.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Shell Vacations Club @ Plaza Pelicanos Grand Beach Resort and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com offers a straightforward owner-to-owner route: you list privately, set your own asking price, 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 post, and that's it.

Before you list, it's worth confirming the details on the transfer side. Resort brands typically require resales to go through the resort's own owners' association or management company, so contact Shell Vacations Club directly to confirm the current transfer or resale fee, and ask whether the resort or developer holds a right of first refusal on resales — this can affect how long the sale takes to close. Also confirm the current annual maintenance fee, since this is the figure most buyers will ask about first, and be clear with any buyer about what does and doesn't transfer with the week — for example, whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or needs to be re-registered by the new owner once the transfer is complete.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, a clear description of the unit size and view, and confirmation that the week is deeded or points-based with RCI access if that matters to their travel plans. Being upfront about all of this in your listing tends to produce fewer back-and-forth questions and a faster deal.

Practical Notes for Owners and Travellers

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is about 10 kilometres north of the resort, roughly a 15–20 minute drive depending on traffic — arrange a taxi, ride-share, or pre-booked transfer rather than leaving it to chance on arrival. The dry season, November through April, brings the most reliable weather and is when demand for weeks here tends to be strongest, so factor that into your rental pricing or the timing of a resale listing. Outside those months, Puerto Vallarta still works well as a destination, just with a higher chance of rain and heat typical of the wider Pacific coast. US dollars and cards are widely accepted around the resort and in town, though having some pesos on hand is useful for smaller purchases and local transport.
