Riu Palace Pacifico stands on Boulevard Nayarit on the beachfront in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, about 20 minutes from Puerto Vallarta's international airport. The hotel follows the Riu Palace brand's grand, colonnaded design, with a formal lobby and tiered pool terraces facing the Pacific, giving it a more polished look than many of the area's mid-scale all-inclusives. Every room is a Junior Suite, ranging up to Deluxe and Swim-Up Junior Suites with direct pool access, and the adults-only, all-inclusive format keeps the atmosphere quiet and couple-focused. Dining covers a main buffet and several à la carte restaurants included in the rate, with 24-hour room service available throughout the stay. Multiple pools and a spa round out the amenities, and the adults-only policy across the entire property distinguishes it from family resorts nearby. Service is attentive and geared toward couples and adult travelers seeking a calmer all-inclusive experience on the Nuevo Vallarta beachfront.
