The Bar/Lounge at Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa

"The bar serves a great range of top-shelf tequilas and The Ohtli Spa is a highlight, offering a slew of treatments inspired by healing techniques and Shamanistic traditions of the Huichol Indians"

"The freeform pool has ocean views and a swim-up bar, and there's a separate large kiddy pool, as well as a kids' club"

"All of the restaurants—including a sleek Asian restaurant serving Thai, sushi, and teppanyaki and a large, pleasant sports bar—have kids' menus"

"Accommodations, entered from atrium galleries, are as amenity-rich as your standard-issue airport hotel, with ceiling fans, minibars, large flat-screen TVs, programmable safes, plush robes, coffeemakers, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers and an English-language hotline"
