More about Riu Jalisco All Inclusive
What to expect: Occupying a deeply set site leading to Banderas Bay, the resort features a formal, geometric Spanish/Moorish style, including a central garden containing a long, twin-fountain pond flanked by rows of Royal Palms. Below is a plaza bordered on one side by a stage with covered seating and on the other side by a disco. The resort draws both couples and families from North America and Europe.
Amenity highlights: A heated, free-form family pool features a rock-bordered jetted section and a rock-garden island with water slides. A heated free-form adult pool features a swim-up bar, a shallow section for lounge chairs, and a jetted section. Palm trees shade the resort's 150-meter (164-yd) section of a mile-long beach. The resort supplies boogie boards, kayaks, windsurfers, pedal boats, Hobie Cat sailboats, and snorkeling gear.
Insider tip: The shopping/dining village of Bucerias north of the resort can be reached by walking approximately 2.5 kilometers (1.5 mi) along the beach rather than driving 7 km (4.5 mi) on the highway.
