The Resort & Its Setting

Villa del Mar Beach Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta is a beachfront timeshare property, a Villa Group resort with direct access onto one of Puerto Vallarta's Pacific coast beaches. That beachfront position is really the headline feature: step out of the resort and you're on the sand, with warm ocean water on your doorstep year-round. The resort sits within Puerto Vallarta itself, so owners and guests are never far from the city's restaurants, shops and day-to-day life, rather than being tucked away in an isolated enclave.

Puerto Vallarta: The Area and Things to Do

Puerto Vallarta has long been one of Mexico's best-established beach towns, and it still carries plenty of authentic character alongside the resort infrastructure. Old Town, with its colonial-era streets, galleries and family-run restaurants serving Jalisco cooking, is a short ride from the resort and worth an afternoon on its own. The Malecón, the oceanfront boardwalk that runs along the coastline, is the natural place for an evening walk, a drink with a sunset view, or simply watching the city go by. Dry season, roughly November through April, brings the most reliable weather, while the warmer, more humid months from May to October come with afternoon showers but noticeably quieter, lower-rate travel.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Villa del Mar Beach Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta and are thinking about selling or renting it out, it helps to know how Villa Group handles resales. According to the brand's own FAQ, the Club and the developer offer no resale mechanism — owners are on their own when it comes to finding a buyer, which is exactly the gap a platform like BidMyTimeshare is built to fill. A transfer can only go ahead once the membership is fully paid and all fees are up to date, and Villa Group has not published a transfer or resale fee, nor any right of first refusal. Worth flagging to any buyer: owners have reported that transfers made outside the immediate family can result in the contract being converted to a more basic type, or to a week tied to a single home resort, rather than carrying over exactly as it stood. There's also no published typical transfer timeline, so it's sensible to allow extra time and ask Villa Group directly, in writing, what the current process and any associated costs look like before a sale closes.

On BidMyTimeshare, listing a week here works the same way as any other resort on the platform: you set your own asking price, your listing appears to buyers and renters searching the marketplace, and interested parties contact you directly through the site. There's a one-time listing fee to post, and no commission is taken when the sale or rental goes through — the price you agree is the price you keep. Renters, for their part, are mainly looking for confirmed dates, clarity on what's included (room type, resort fees, any extras) and straightforward contact with the owner, so having your week's details and calendar availability ready to share will help conversations move quickly.

Practical Notes

Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) is the main gateway, around 12 km north of downtown, with connections to major Mexican and international cities. From there it's a manageable transfer into town. Spanish is the local language, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas; the Mexican peso is the currency, and ATMs are easy to find throughout the city. Travel insurance is worth arranging given the distance from home for most international owners and renters.

Travel Tips

Aim for November through April if you want the driest, most comfortable weather; the quieter May–October months bring better rates but more humidity and the odd afternoon shower. Arrange your transfer from Puerto Vallarta International Airport ahead of time, as journey times vary with traffic. A few basic Spanish phrases go a long way in local shops and restaurants, and it's worth carrying some pesos alongside cards, since smaller vendors don't always take cards.
