Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa

The short version

Grand Palladium Vallarta runs a club for babies, which tells you who it is built for. The Baby Club takes ages one to three, the Mini Club four to twelve and the Junior Club thirteen to eighteen. Its 415 rooms and suites sit on a semi-private golden-sand beach in the Punta de Mita area, with several pools, one of them saltwater, a small kids' water park and six bars. Puerto Vallarta's airport is about 45 minutes away.
