Capturing the authentic charm and warmth of Mexico, the Marriott CasaMagna Puerto Vallarta Resort & SPA is set along the curve of Banderas Bay on the Pacific Coast at the base of the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains.
Removed from the crowded Hotel Zone, the Marriott CasaMagna is located in exclusive Marina Vallarta, a perfect spot for an evening stroll by magnificent yachts and outdoor cafés.
Just 15 minutes away, downtown Puerto Vallarta offers open-air markets and quaint boutiques, cobblestone streets and more than 400 restaurants whose cuisine rivals that of the world’s major metropolitan cities.
Accommodations
The resort boasts 433 guest rooms, (including 29 suites) that survey the Bay from gracious private balconies above an infinity pool, lush gardens and small lakes. Bright pink bougainvillea planters drape each floor’s balcony creating a tropical ambience. Marble floors, warm yellow walls, and fresh flower accents complete the relaxing setting.
CasaMagna Tequila
One of only a few resorts in the world with its own brand of tequila, the resort grows its own blue agave plant on property in the cactus garden. Once it reaches maturity (5-7 years) it is harvested by traditional Mexican jimadores. The juice from the plant’s “pineapple” is then fermented, distilled and aged in oak barrels for up to one year. Authentic Mexican tequila, like the Marriott CasaMagna Tequila, is made to be “sipped” not slammed or gulped in a shot. Based on aging time, Mexican Tequila is classified in three categories: blanco (transparent with strong flavor), reposado (light golden color, smooth) and añejo (rich golden color, smoothest). The Marriott CasaMagna Tequila is a reposado and is approximately $52 USD per bottle or $6 USD a shot.
Ohtli Spa
CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & SPA have a brand-new 22,000 square foot spa—the largest in Puerto Vallarta. Its grand size allows it to offer 204 services daily. The spa specializes in a complete revival of the body, mind and spirit. Its distinctive ambience blend Puerto Vallarta’s traditional roots with a modern, contemporary style. Among the most enticing features we have the ground-breaking Grand Luxury Suite—a private room designed to accommodate bridal spa parties, anniversaries or honeymoon specials.
Sea Turtle Rescue Program
From June through November, biologists commissioned by the Marriott comb the beaches and gather sea turtle eggs which are transported to the Marriott nursery for incubation – still in their nests – in accordance with the procedures established by the National Institute of Fisheries and the Fishing & Marine Biology Station of the University of Guadalajara.
Tradition holds that children staying at the resort name their tiny sea turtle babies, then gather at sunset with their families to wish them luck and set them free to return to the ocean. In 2006, the resort released more than 27,000
baby sea turtles and protected almost 52,172 eggs during the nesting season, representing 40 percent of all eggs that were protected in Puerto Vallarta.
