The Resort and Its Setting

WIVC Conchas Chinas Rinconada de las Ostras sits in Colina Conchas Chinas, a hillside neighbourhood in Puerto Vallarta long associated with ocean views, winding coastal streets and a quieter, more residential feel than the busier parts of town. As an independent resort with RCI affiliation, it operates its own vacation ownership programme while giving owners the option to use RCI's exchange network for trips to other affiliated resorts worldwide. It's a straightforward arrangement: you own a week (or points, depending on your contract), and you can either use it here or look at exchanging through RCI if that suits your travel plans better.

Puerto Vallarta and the Conchas Chinas Area

Conchas Chinas has a reputation as one of Puerto Vallarta's more exclusive corners — think dramatic Pacific views, upscale homes and a slower pace than the downtown strip. That said, you're not far from the action: the historic Malecón and Old Town Puerto Vallarta, with their galleries, waterfront restaurants and colonial-era streets, are roughly 8-10 km away. Banderas Bay is close by too, known for whale watching between December and April, boat tours and water sports. Further afield, Los Arcos Marine Park offers snorkelling and diving, while Yelapa is a boat-access-only beach village that makes for a day trip feeling a world away from the resort circuit. It's a good base if you want both a calm hillside stay and easy reach of Puerto Vallarta's main attractions.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at WIVC Conchas Chinas Rinconada de las Ostras and are thinking of selling or renting out a week, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and pay a single one-time listing fee — there's no commission taken when the sale or rental goes through. Buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, so you stay in control of the conversation and the price.

Because WIVC Conchas Chinas is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a major timeshare brand — it goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should ask management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't published and can change. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded week or points contract itself, along with ongoing maintenance fee obligations, but perks tied to the original purchase (such as any loyalty or promotional benefits) don't usually carry over — again, worth confirming with the resort before closing.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly looking for clear dates, an honest description of the unit and view, and confirmation that the week is RCI-eligible if they plan to exchange it rather than stay in Puerto Vallarta themselves.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Puerto Vallarta International Airport is the main gateway, and Conchas Chinas is reached via winding coastal roads, so it's worth building in a little extra travel time compared with flatter parts of town. The dry season, November to April, tends to bring the most reliable weather for outdoor plans like whale watching or boat trips to Yelapa. The Mexican peso is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, and it's sensible to book water activities or restaurant tables ahead of time during the busier winter months.
