The property features four main restaurants, a comprehensive spa with more than 20 treatment rooms, a year-round pool, direct beach access with golden sand, and various sports facilities including tennis and pickleball courts.
The hotel opened in December 2003 and represents a relatively recent addition to the coastal region near Puerto Vallarta. It quickly established itself as a leading accommodation through its international reputation and multiple awards including the AAA Five Diamond designation.

The beach is well-maintained and wide with a Blue Flag certification for water quality and safety. The hotel arranges airport transfers with travel taking about 20 minutes, and staff can assist with planning excursions and arranging transportation to nearby attractions.
The hotel recently completed a major renovation of its suites involving an investment of millions, offering guests increased comfort and updated amenities. Many visitors report memorable sunsets viewed from their rooms and enjoy the beach bonfire gatherings under the night sky.
