Matchbook Monday: CasaMagna Resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Today’s Matchbook Monday features one of my favorite Mexico hotels, the Marriott Casa Magna Resort & Spa in the Marina Vallarta area of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The hotel is a quick five minutes from the airport, and is located directly on the ocean. Try to secure a room with a view of it, if you can. Enjoy the ocean view, lie or walk on the sandy beach, but do your swimming in the beautiful infinity pool. If you’re thirsty there is a swim up bar.
You’ll find all the expected amenities, inviting public areas, attentive service, and a lot of helpful staff. Some of my recommendation include: lying poolside and sipping a cold beverage, tasting the shrimp ceviche from the pool bar/restaurant, enjoying happy hour in the bar directly off the lobby, and taking a walking over to the nearby marina to gaze at the impressive yachts.
The Casa Magna Resort is located at Avenue Paseo de la Marina No. 5, Marina Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico.
