Sunscape Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa

The short version

Ten minutes is the number to remember for Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: about that long from the airport, and about that long from the Malecón. Children aged 3 to 12 have the Explorer's Club, teens 13 to 17 have the Core Zone, and family rooms come with bunk beds. A new waterpark, mini-golf and a seasonal turtle release program fill the days, while six dining options, a snack truck among them, and four bars cover meals.
