Banderas Bay. The Original Krystal Beach Hotel.
Krystal Puerto Vallarta opened in Zona Hotelera Norte and has been the original Krystal beachfront landmark on Banderas Bay ever since — RCI Gold Crown rated, 379 rooms across the original Krystal I tower (beachfront, recently renovated) and the 16-story Krystal II tower (contemporary), with a working 4-star resort grounds and Pacific Ocean out the front door.
Why It Earns Repeat Stays
Some guests have been booking the same two weeks here for 22+ years. The grounds are tropical and walkable, the staff are long-tenured, and the layout feels more like a small resort village than a hotel tower. It's not the newest property in Vallarta — it doesn't pretend to be. It's the one that earns the 22nd return visit.
Why The Location Wins
4.7 km from PVR airport. 2.6 km to Galerías Vallarta mall. 2.3 km to Plaza Caracol. Local bus stop right out front. The Malecón is 4.6 km away — a $5 taxi or local bus ride down. Resort proper. Not the cobblestone old town — that's a quick ride south. But you wake up on the beach and you're in walking distance of real shopping, real groceries, and the airport.
“Banderas Bay is the largest bay in Mexico — sheltered by mountains on three sides. The water here isn't the glass-calm Caribbean turquoise of Cancún. It's deeper, warmer, and the sunsets are the reason people keep coming back. Watch from the pool with a margarita and you'll understand why this is the original Krystal.”— Krystal Hotels & Resorts
What's Included
All-inclusive plan covers everything across the property — meals across 4 restaurants, drinks at 4 bars, kids' programming, the aquapark, and beachfront access on Banderas Bay.

“Aquamarina for seafood with the bay in front of you. Italian for the off-night that craves something different. The buffet for the day you don't want to think about it. The lobby café for an espresso before you walk over to the Malecón. Vallarta isn't trying to impress you with a celebrity chef — it's just the food that fits the bay.”— Krystal Vallarta Dining

Getting There
Puerto Vallarta International (PVR / Lic. Gustavo Díaz Ordaz) is the closest airport to a BWS partner property anywhere — under 5 km. From the gate to the lobby is about 10 minutes door to door.
Best time: Nov–Apr is the dry season — peak weather, lowest humidity. May–Jun shoulder is strong value. Avoid Aug–Oct (rainy season, occasional tropical storms). Pacific water is warm year-round but currents are real — check with lifeguards before swimming.
